  1. Casting a weighted rig compared to just a dry fly or nymph is completely different but that is the beauty about fly fishing is that you never stop learning. There is so many different casting techniques to learn and they were all formed because people had to adapt to different situations. When your casting a weighted rig you are not doing your standard false cast because you would end up either hooking yourself or knocking yourself out. If you are interested in learning how to cast a weighted rig or different techniques for different situations, I would suggest searching it on youtube. Youtube has helped me a ton because there are a ton of casting videos on there to help you out. Also like Fishfinder said, head down to the speyclave and talk to the instructors down there, you will be surprised what you can learn in just a few hours. Swany
  2. I have a big job interview tomorrow so once this stress is behind me I am going to hit the rivers hard to try and get my first salmon on the fly. Hopefully the weather will help with the run sooner than later Swany
  3. J-M, thank you for the help, the permit sounds like it is worth it and is going to a good cause. I will talk to essa Township and hopefully be out there fishing in the near future. Thanks again Swany
  4. Just a question to you guys that fish the Angus area, what is the deal with the seperate fishing permit for the Essa Township area? I have heard that you need one while fishing on Essa property but have not really look into it. I have just avoided the area because I did not want to get in trouble. Where would I go to get information on this or to get a permit? Any help with this would be appreciated Swany
  5. Thanks for the info, if you guys have anymore let me know swany
  6. Thanks for the reply, I am not actually looking to fish it, I just work with a guy and his dad owns land out there so he was telling us about this and it honestly sounded like he was telling stories (which he is know to do) so I just wanted to get some more inforation on it. I didn't think that a lake could be that private and not have regulations. We are trying to get him to take us out there because he says it is awsome fishing but he is always tip toeing around the idea. But thanks for the help, if anyone else has anymore input on this situation let me know Swany
  7. Hey guys, so I was just wondering if any of you guys have any information about Cranberry lake that is just off of Monck Rd. I have a co-worker that is a little bit of a story teller and he has been talking about this lake and how it's private and because it is private there is no regulations. He says they have Bass and Walleye in the lake but the walleyes are stocked but paid for by the 30 residents of the lake. He says that out of the 30 land owners, there are only a handful of cottages but people pay 1 million for 10 acres but yet they don't all put up a cottage. No one else is allowed to fish the lake except land owners and the MNR is not even allowed in there to regulate the lake. It is in zone 15 but he says it's open season all the time. Just wondering if you guys have any info that could help me out because I said fiction, all water is regulated and the limits for zone 15 would apply. He also has this junk in his head about ice fishing and how they are not allowed to ice fish on cranberry becasue "ice fishing kills a lake". Maybe he is right and this fantasy lake is real but I think he is talking pooh and just wondering if any of you guys can help me. Oh ya you catch a fish "every cast" (fiction) thanks for the help fellas Swany
  8. Don't be saying that your not catching fish on Nipissing! Iam supposed to be going up for a fishing trip up there march 11th and we are hoping to catch a few walley. Me and my fishing buddy haven't had any luck on simcoe this year so we were all excited to catch something other than perch. Hopefully it turns around for you guys and hopefully we get lucky when we are up there and catch something bigger than a perch.
  9. I don't think my Yorky would be able to survive the blast but Iam sure he would give them a good go!
  10. So now that it is finally getting a little colder out, when do you think the ice is going to be strong enough to venture out? Iam not talking first crazies on the ice but safe enough where your mom would let you walk out there without freaking out?
  11. Oh that was awsome......I think I peed a little
  12. So this while be my first year back in Canada for a full winter and Iam looking forward to getting some ice fishing in. The only problem Iam having right now is I just don't have the right outter clothing for it. I want to get a pair of snow pants and a jacket that can handle some cold temps but unfortunately right now the funds are low so Iam trying to get the best bang for my buck. I have looked at Canadian tire and they have a Floatation suit but how well would that do with the cold weather? I don't know if I want to go with a floatation suit but at the same time it would be nice for safety. Do you guys have any recommendations on where I can start looking that will give me the best bang for my buck? Floatation vs non floatation suit for the cold weather? Thanks for the help Swany
  13. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me find a place in Barrie to get my auger blades sharpened. Can you sharpen them yourself or do you need a machine? Thanks for the help Swany
  14. Thats an awsome fish and a pretty good solo pic!
