I can do that Lew!!! I did two...O Holy Night (rocked out version) and Silent Night (acoustic). Which did you want? I will at least wait til the snow starts flying first

I'll see what I can do about that song lol.

Incredible report Jet!!! If you were posting reports like this a year ago, I would have gotten in touch with you this past summer when I was in the area lol. Every glacial stream and lake I drove by I wondered if there were trout in them....your post gave me the answer. Bar none some of the best settings to fish in.....absolutely amazing! Looked like a great trip....thanks for taking the time to post the report!

Wow Mike! You beat my personal best pike while steelheading.....show off lol Seriously though.....we gotta get out soon....bring that Bill guy too....you two are a blast to fish with!

Great report Will! Seems I missed out on some good fishing...Lloyd always seems to produce even when most others don't A nice multi species day out there....and yes, even though some people we know don't count sheepies as an actual species, you know I do lol! Let's hope we get some nice toothy critters next weekend!

That was udderly ridiculous!!!

Wow! Great report and awesome pictures! And yes...I do believe you! Lol

Still officially an administrator though....it lists Slowpoke and Gerritt as moderators of sub forums... Hmmmmmm.....

Come on....it couldn't have been that bad...I slept through it! LOL

I think I need to re-record the Anthem to say OFC instead of OFC...

I still haven't caught the ice fishing bug...as hard as I try to, I just can't. I'd MUCH rather be standing in a river, the shore, or in a boat. Maybe it's because I hate snow and cold??? LOL. That said, ice fishing for me is more about being with friends and having a good time. I'd fish solo on softwater, but never on the ice.

My mom always said "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Simple respect in my opinion...treat members who post as if you were talking to them face to face.

He was using a kwik fish there...he uses a pin when he's drifting. You aren't alone anyways as I use a spinning reel to float! Lol

Now that's a GREAT day of fishing!!! Congrats!

As we were all talking on the weekend about our fishing adventures, I realized that there are many "local" areas I'd love to fish...but for some reason, I haven't gone. It may be because time is limited, or I don't have the confidence to take my little boat on bigger or strange waters, or I don't have the expertise or know-how in certain types of fishing and locations. Being a relative newbie angler, there's always breaking that knowledge barrier. I have put in a lot of time and effort into things like bass/walleye/muskie fishing Kawartha lakes, carp fishing using boilies and mixing my own ground bait, pounding local creeks for steelhead and casting for salmon from piers, but I have lots of things on my to do list still. Anyhow, what is "close by" to you? Is there something you'd like to try or a place you'd like to venture? Here's what's on my list...they are all local to me...just haven't gotten around to them yet... 1) Steelhead fishing the niagara...either from shore on in a boat 2) Brook trout fishing waters in Southern Ontario streams. 3) Fishing for Lake O salmon/trout...either downrigging, using torpedo divers or dipseys. 4) Venturing to the Blue Zone 5) Fishing the nuke plant outflow in the dead of winter 6) Steelhead fishing some of the bigger Lake Huron tibutaries.

LOL...I didn't bring my camera...I had to wait for MJL to email the pictures he took! Ok...there is one or two from my phone...but all the nice ones are MJL's photo credit!

ChrisK and I had this past weekend planned for me to join him at his trailer for a few months now...and when the opportunity came up for Spiel and MJL to join us, it was shaping up to be a great weekend filled with great times! Leading up to the weekend we were all praying for rain, as the levels were very low. I think we prayed a little too hard and MJL's last ditch attempt at an "anti rain" dance fell short. I left my house in Whitby and headed to pick MJL up at this place in Toronto...then we headed to Spiel's place. The three of us then piled into Spiel's van and we went to London to meet up with ChrisK. After dropping off some things we headed to the trailer. We arrived and immediately went to the river. It was up over 3 feet, was chocolate milk, and running FAST!!! We knew there was no fishing to be had today, so we spent the rest of the day tying up MONSTER roe bags, having a few drinks, relaxing and hoping the water would drop overnight. With dreams of fresh steelhead in mind, we called it an early night...with intentions of hitting the water at first light! With the exception of a little light snoring keeping some awake and MJL's feet getting licked, it was an ok night! LOL. We headed to the creek and although the waters had dropped about a foot, it was still far from being prime conditions. Didn't matter...MJL and I headed out to see what we could stir up! The scenery was breath taking...temperatures were mild...it was a treat just to be there fishing. (yes, that's like saying it was an honour just being nominated!!!) With nothing going on there, MJL and I went to another hole and found some slower moving waters. After drifting there a while...my float goes down and I feel the weight on the end of the line I was waiting for! The fish went breserk...and then took me in benind a fallen tree. I waded out...rod extended as far as I could reach and miraculously the fish came out. MJL was getting the camera ready when the fish shook the hook free!! Oh well, that may be my only chance....sure felt good to have one on the end of the line again though! Back to the trailer around noon to take a break...had some lunch and a little snooze... Later in the afternoon, the water changed a bit...from the chocolate milk we had been fishing in...it was turning a chocolate greenish colour. We are drifting for a bit and I hear a loud SPLASH! I look over to see Spiel fighing a nice one! MJL stops fishing and snaps some pictures of the fight.... And the money shot! After a evening of laughs we called it a night...hoping the water would cooperate more Sunday. Some random Sunday shots... Devon, MJL and Spiel ChrisK and Spiel Both ChrisK and MJL had fish on, but unfortuately were not able to land them. Devon schooled us all that day and got a few! Here's one of his. I have to say I am very impressed with the skill and patience Devon has with his set up! Wait a few more years and this young fella will be killer out there! Of course we had to leave on the day the waters were looking pretty darned good A great time was had by all...thanks very much for the hospitality ChrisK! Hopefully we'll get out a few more times this fall! Oh...my numbers? 0 for 1 in the steelhead...and a few of these...LOL

It's never easy is it? Very sorry to hear of the news Brian....

Sweet!!! Great day out there for sure!

So sorry to hear this news...my condolences to you and your family...and to all that knew him.

You schooled us all! Great job out there and it was great to meet you!

Store looks great! Just caught Global's coverage on their website...thanks for the heads up on that

Mike...it's a long walk back buddy!!! And Roy...what did I ever do to you?? LOL. And I'm leaving the camera at home...one of you three can figure out who is doing the report!

Give me a fly rod...I'll clear some space pretty quickly lol!

Bill's tactic here is to spread the word.....then head out to tribs void of other anglers! Oops....was I not supposed to tell that to everyone Bill?
