Historically, were any of the Brook Trout strains in Lake Ontario and its tribs anadromous ? I wonder too if he actually went to the lake, it has been my experience with southern Ontario brookies that the larger fish will migrate somewhat, hitting smaller triblets or nursery type water to spawn but often spending the rest of the year in water that would perhaps be considered marginal for the species further downstream.

You really want a challenge at Long Point, try hunting the Waterfowl Management Unit, imagine trying to find your camoflaged duck blind in the middle of a marsh in the predaylight hours. I haven't hunting there since the age of GPS, but I would hope that someone had the brilliant idea to provide coordinates for all the blinds now.

Nice fishes, you could send a bit of that rain up here, 21 days without here in Niagara and the steelhead are waiting for that first cool rain, expect a big initial run when it happens. As for the sonar question, I couldn't find what I wanted online but I think the output signal (what the fish hear)on most sonars is constant, the sensitivity adjustment is precisely that, you are adjusting the sensitivity of the unit to the received signal/echo . Hope you understand what I mean, turning down the sensitivity in that case would have no effect on spooking the fish. Maybe there is a sonar guru with tech knowledge could clarify if this is the case?

I always understood that if you put water in a well it just seeps away if the water table is low, go with a cistern for a backup.

If it had rained any significant amount this week I would have said steelhead, I'd say you better go bass fishing.

Maybe try a different issuer for your licence, you might find one that knows what to do. I would suspect you would get temp piece of paper and the real card would be mailed.

While I've never had the opportunity to sample them or if they really exist, I really liked the names and labels, using the " Steelhead Pale Ale " as an avatar and this one was given serious consideration. Would love to see friend's reactions if you opened a case of these after a day on the river.

I find I have to fight the reflex of setting the hook at the sound of the strike in the dark when using surface lures, pulling it out of their open yap or away from them B4 they actually have it, could this be a possibility?

"Carling Ice" for over ten years now, prefer it to a lot of the premiums and the price is better. Still over priced but better.

Great pictures, gourgeous fish

Anyone want to bet that if Iggy loses the election again and is replaced as leader of the Liberal Partyas a result, he is not a resident of Canada in 3 years??

I know there is absolutely no intent to break the law on your part and chances of the geese finding that bait in the wooded area are remote but you might want to consider the distance from your bait station to your goose setup. Technically if a C.O. or RCMP officer wanted to push it you could be found in violation of the Migratory Game Bird Act. Quote BAIT RESTRICTIONS 14. (1) Subject to section 23.3, no person shall hunt for migratory game birds within 400 m of any place where bait has been deposited unless the place has been free of bait for at least seven days. Just a thought for you to consider

WTG, very nice silver fish, caught darker fish offshore. Bet they are good safe eaters too.

(905)-768-3267 this text from another ad, seems to indicate the motor is included, I thought it a lot of boat for the money for a Great Lakes angler

For that kinda money I'd rather have something like this, and have $20G left to blow on electronic and other goodies. http://www.donhydemarine.com/searchengine/...rtDir=DESC& BTW that includes a T top with rocket launchers . yes please

A lot of trailers have those white spoked rims, maybe a couple of feet of hardened chain through the spokes and around the frame of the trailer with good keyed alike locks wouldn't be very expensive but somewhat effective.

Thanks for the tip Terry

Sorry if it's been posted before, believe it was 2007 North Bay. Just thought it was a similar situation but this time involving Ontario's finest and our tax dollars. <BTW> what am I doing wrong , expected a pic to appear, not a link?

We can beat that http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/dltc...pg?t=1250386529

Blue zone is defined more by temperature than by a distance off shore, characteristically it is a long ways out. Look for certain things when running out looking for this zone sudden change in air temperature....if you have surface temp capabilties watch for a sudden drop ... watch for a line of debris.. this usually associated with a change in surface temp... sometimes the water will be dead flat calm one side of this thermal break and lightly rippled on the other. What you are looking for ideally are upwellings of cooler water. This is primarily a coho rainbow fishery with lines set 30 feet or less. I remember in the early 80's running red fireplugs off planer boards in july and early august in 360 to 400 feet of water off Port Weller, 12 to 15 miles offshore. With the increased presence of Coho it may be worth a shot again.

Low water steelheading, camoflage top really helps, too many times I've seen bright yellow raingear send fish scattering as a guy walk thru on the bank., but I think I'll stick to my deer hunting duds.

Nice fish, beauty day on Erie no comment on the hat

this one, DYNOMIGHT http://ttiblakemore.com/shop/index.php?mai...products_id=422

here's an old one that still works very well for bouncing off structure and won't break the bank, I have excellent success with the Blakemore Roadrunner for smallies, get the black maribou/chenille one and also the white plastic curly tail to start, 1/8 and 1/4 oz. Edit: Along the same line Mann's Little George sweetened with a piece of nightcrawler , killer drifting Erie reefs for smallies

Here is a couple of clips of favourite Les Paul players of mine, saw Joe last fall at Brock University, wish Gary would come over to North America more often The man himself was an incredible player , there are a couple of TV Documentaries worth hunting down for those interested
