  1. If you get a boat out there you should do really well.
  2. Another option is flipflops for your wading boots, Orvis makes them or you can buy a super large size at walmart. The floor mats is very nice idea as well
  3. Love it too, although don't get up there as much as I would like. If you have a canoe or kayak there is kilometers upon kilometers of great fishing for various species and really at any time of year.
  4. I am thinking the same place. I was just there last weekend and I doubt he would get a site, it was rammed last week. I was there bout 4-5 years ago and we were the only group around.
  5. Hey Renegade there are websites that do what you describe. Not exactly the same but more or less, I still think its a growth industry especially with what you say about standards etc.
  6. It seems like a great idea, so far we have had good luck renting through a couple different cottage agency websites and probably the one that didn't go the best but was still ok was through kijiji.
  7. Have fished below Wilson's falls and did well for smallish smallmouth bass. This was a few years ago and a similar situation fished while the girls shopped. Apparently there are brown trout being stocked but I am not sure how successful that has been,
  8. I have 2006 dodge caravan and I have always been able to find something to tie on both front and back but after seeing those thule quick loops, I just may go out and buy them because it sure would make things easier. I have found you must get pretty far under the dodge to find a good spot to anchor your rope or ratchet strap
  9. Pretty sad state of affairs...these cuts are barely a drop in the bucket of the provincial treasury
  10. Well I was recently on Fox Lake and struck out. Now I was up there with my kids and only had a canoe but I did manage to fish usually the last hour before dark but came up empty handed. Good luck on Vernon what a beautiful area.
  11. Another thumbs up for City Marine. Just an FYI to anyone they have moved off of the queensway and are now down by the Lakefront Promendade.
  12. They can be rather aggressive under the right situation but often times they are spooked and people line them. I was up in Thunder Bay last fall and had a blast catching salmon on the fly rod, they were highly aggressive and absolutely smashed streamers.
  13. Cool that sounds great. I had only heard of it being a bass lake
  14. Hi all, We have a cottage booked on Fox Lake near Huntsville at the end of the month. I have done some research on the lake with regards to fishing but if anyone knows the lake and would like to share some general information on fishing the lake, please send me a PM. I am not looking for honey holes or anything like that just general information and or tips. Also if anyone has ever rented up that way and has anything in general to share about the area or lake that would be great. We are really looking forward to a relaxing week mostly playing in the water with kids. Thanks, Mark
  15. If you have 6 days go you may as well drive the extra distance, however if you need something closer consider the following watersheds all south Sudbury. Magnetawan River, Noganosh system Island Lake system
  16. Wow what a trip report. Pretty cool. I could not help but notice the book, searched it on amazon and it sounds like a good read. Plan on picking it up before I go on vacation, so thanks for that!
  17. My collegue here at work had a portguese water dog that the breader recommened be on a raw food diet. He said it did not go well as the dog developed a bad case of the runs that was rectified by switching to a dry food. I have a 4 year old german shepherd and feed her wellness ocean core as well table scraps. Usually fish and potatos, or whatever my kids decide to throw on the floor! Lots of resources and opinions out there, I think one needs to see what works best for their dog
  18. I would reconsider....especially since like humans you are exposing your young pup yo food borne illness like e coli o salmonella
  19. Hey guys in the same boat here, got a dakota for christmas but haven't loaded any maps yet. I went to the website and these maps look pretty good. If you don't mind dana I will shoot you a pm soon for ontario.
  20. My wife and I stayed at Halfway lake a few years ago, didn't do much fishing but I hear it is decent. The rest of the park seemed clean and well maintained, we enjoyed our short stay. Just 2 nights and did some hiking.
  21. I do the samething Knuguy does with the ground sheet...I picked up that tip from Kevin Callan the author the Happy Camper and can say it works successfully.
  22. definitely an easy and fun place to canoe and fish. Lots of structure
  23. If the tent is designed well this won't happen. My Eureka for example is all mesh on the sidewalls from about 12 inches off the ground. Plus the fly is built with vents and sits several inches off of the tent. I hope that helps.
  24. I can also add the chrous of happy eureka tent owners. best set of advice outside of brand is that for a tent to be good and waterproof it actually needs a proper fly that cover the whole tent and make sure the rains drains off of it. Alot of the tents at canadian tire only have fly's that come down half way so your walls get wet and so do you.
  25. fly fishing either with wet flies or swinging steelhead flies.
