Mine is a direct target for a 12/12 pitch steel roofs snow. I built a 3/4" plywood box for over mine. 13 years now.. no rust/failure issues.

Ho K

Depends when, and why! Like if there's no milk for my cornflakes in the morning.. well Beer.

Are we to PM TJ or you Roy.. with items?

My internet has been out all day TJ.... let me put my thinking hat on! Found something.. PM sent.

We're in a wet blizzard here right now Dave.. a couple inches in the last hour or two. Last I'd heard Penetang Harbour was iced over around the town dock.. but haven't seen it myself. Central Marine is right beside Scullies Crab Shack at the Midland Town dock.

I suggest using the search function. This one has been hashed about many many times. Depends on your budget and how many times you wanna make the purchase. The Shimano TE400/401 is always on top of the discussion and I find the Quantum Cabo CBC31PTs is a great reel as well (and about 1/2 the price) but not near as quiet or smooth as the TE.

Jim was selling them last year at "Dad's" in Temagami. He's closed until mid December though...but checking his email once in a while.

Don't give the bugger anymore ideas fm !

He wasn't sure if it was that.. or a half finished spliff. I think Red Cap still comes in Stubbies.... but only because it's been forgotten in the back corner of the cooler since the '70's!

Glad to be a part of your memory making Dan! I can honestly say that there hasn't been a 3 day stretch since then that I don't go back thru August's pictures. They never get boring ..and may have to shoot some new ones next year! LOL Flight via Hearst/Geralton this time though.... not doing this again in Marathon... But getting there in time for Bunk's "Brunch" the next day made it all worth while..

Yah... but you'd have a cheap source of new parts for the one on the road.

Less with the torn weatherstripping !

Upper would be "up" stream. ... but never believe where people are saying they are fishing. Find you own spots and hold them dear... like your "pond"!

Like I said before Ben... Beauties.. but I hope there's some open water fishing left yet down here! lol

I found the "ice" fishing mono to be a nuisance and just spool with 6 or 10 lb Trilene... blue box. Seems to work well.. my PB laker last year was just shy of 19 lbs and it peeled drag over and over again on that 10lb line.

Hey now!! Lets just get back to Hawg Haulers question and quit screwin around ! lol

Great stuff Erik... good to see you out tackling the outflow multi-species resource.

Na .. it's only a 10" Red October Monster Tube... but it definitely works.

That's Ron's Brian! LOL ..and by the way.. that's my go to bait for Lakers !

Sure hope you have hunting tags as well... as a 3 years Sport + card is only $81.75. Just did my youngest daughters last night.. manually.. as anyone with an apostrophy in their last name can't use the online without getting a syntax error.

..and no that's not a small tube held up close to the camera....

Some great fish there fella. Brook Trout... Speckled Trout = same beast ! MNR doesn't even list the speckled trout because of this. Brook trout (also known as speckled trout) are among the world's most highly-prized gamefish. They are found in much of Ontario and are found from the small brooks of southern Ontario farmland to the larger rivers, ponds and lakes of the north. Water temperature is a key factor in determining brook trout habitat. They need a year-round supply of cold, clear water, as well as plenty of cover from overhanging branches, logs, and rocks. Streams with cool, quiet pools between runs of fast water and rapids are typical habitat, as are clear, cold lakes and beaver ponds. During high-water periods, worms and other natural baits are preferred. As the water temperature rises, the trout move out of the deep pools into the riffles in search of insects; this is the time to use a flyrod and flies. Although shy and spooky, brook trout will also take a range of small minnow-imitating plugs as well as small, flashy spoons and spinners.

Did you borrow Ted's fillet knife to scrape that spot? lol
