Got to wonder why you would risk it in a canoe. When most bigger boats with motors and deep vs are put away, you think you can get out there in a canoe? The water would kill you in minutes at these temps.
Sad story, sorry to the family and friends
I washed lures all day Friday north east of there. weeds are dieting off. the best fishing won't start for a while. water temps are 58 degrees. nobody was catching anything so it wasn't just me.
The cigarette butt thing is an important one. Last weekend a friend threw his butt into my campfire pit that had some brush in it that fell from trees from the storm a couple weeks ago and it was going to be burned then the fire ban started. Anyway I was in the screen in porch and smelt camp fire smoke and when I went out my fire pit was lit up. If it can happen in a fire pit with a few small branches it will happen in the bush! Be safe everyone!
Cheers!
On our lake the water is 81 it got as high as 85 July 4th. What dropped the water temps we think is have wind from a storm. Stired the colder water underneath up and water temps dropped 10 degrees. Now back up to 81 as of Saturday night.
I find as long as the water temperature stays steady the fish will bite. When its up and down is when the fishing really starts.
Water dropped down to 74 now its back up at 81 with this heat wave. No rain and some storms coming has everyone nervous about forest fires like north in Temagami.
