Thanks for the post mike, sure is a nice feeling to get the first ones of the season......

Hi all, Just sharing a couple of pics of my son Jack....only 6 weeks old but the eyes say it all....he watches stuff like a hawk, hyper alert already. WITH EYES LIKE THIS HE WONT EVEN NEED POLARIZED SHADES! HE HELPS WITH MY POSTS TOO....LOL I have to also add this picture of Jack on his new blanket he received as a gift from OFC member Dnthmn. Daniel....such acts of kindness to relative strangers is rare these days....thank you soooo much. DNTHMN SENT US THIS BLANKET HIS WIFE MADE AFTER SEEING MY NEW BABY POST 6 WEEKS AGO

I LOVE IT! i actually like the dental floss like qualities better than the stiffer more plasticy braids i have tried before. Not sure if it is less visible though. I use the 8lb on all my rods for bass, walleye and pike, always with a 2' flouro leader.

hey Jeff, I'll give my buddy Glen in Kenora a call, he may know someone who fly fishes up there...and i'll get back to ya. Cheers Simon

Hey Jeff, Im in Dryden. Pretty close to Kenora...what exactly are you looking for...i have a fishing buddy who lives in Kenora...he might be able to helkp ya...i just need to know what it is your looking for...i think he's fly fished a couple of times....you looking for info or hook ups...or both....lol

Great report T.U.F. best wishes on the imminent arrival

Congrats again Jacques....had to laugh about the bit where you toss the fish on dry land....lol...i know exactly what your'e talking about.....land the fish at all costs!!! I think i'm gonna go and die in a corner now....living through other peoples posts is killing me

Congratulations...only 8 more to go for a soccer team

good stuff right there! YOU FORGOT IT WAS OPENER????!!!???? lol

Looks like a lot of fun....lol....its been 11 days since i went fishing........i almost forget what its like...thanks for sharing

Hey Jef, i have not fished either of those two lakes, but here is a link to some recent stocking lists for both Percy and Emerson, no mention of Rainbows....seems like both get stocked with brookies though. STOCKING LIST FOR PERCY LAKE AND EMERSON LAKE

great stuff man! Love that you got those on slipbobber...one of my favourite fishing methods. keep 'em comin Jacques

like pike slayer said....not many bodies of water up here with Largies, but awesome smallie fishing....ive always had good fishing with topwaters/ mepps spinners/ wiggle warts...bounce 'em off the rocks....and a plain slip bobber with a nightcrawler. I had some success last year flipping a jig with a leach at the shallow weed and rock areas too.

I dont think there is anything better than playing with the device out on the water. Lowrance also allow you to download demo versions of their different models, so you can play around with the functions CLICK THIS LINK FOR LOWRANCE PRODUCT DEMOS

I hate this time of year.....WAITING FOR THE ICE TO MELT!!!! My wife calls it my "talk to the lake season"....lol......its true....i talk to the lake willing it to melt.........is that wrong?, dont answer that...lol. Anyhoo, there is still probably good ice out there......in some spots, but i aint as brave/stupid at the end of the year as i am at the beginning, i just dont trust melting ice. I was gonna go for some lakers this afternoon, but after a quick trip to the bottom of the yard and a look at the ice, i was surprised to find it so far gone. Still obviously thick ice there, but a good 20 yards of really crappy ice around the margin changed my mind about heading onto a deep trout lake by myself......overcautious?...dont think you can be personally. I was further convinced when speaking to the gas pump attendant in town, he said his buddy went to Gullwing lake for lakers 3 days ago....fine going out on the 4 wheeler, but coming back 10' of open water where it had been solid(ish) that morning, had to just pin it down and scoot across apparently. Soooo......the watch and wait game begins.......... Was a beautiful morning here this morning THE WAIT BEGINS DEFINTELY NOT LONG NOW SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Sualt Saint Marie aint NORTH...lol

Being a Drydenite i could not have put it better myself grt1

Dont worry mate...you'll be fine...and yup the fishing alone will be worth it! We moved here from Devon 2 years ago...neither of us had jobs lined up, but we were up and running as soon as we got here really. Like you, thought i/we may have to work at walmart for a while till we found jobs similar to our careers at home....but i thought ....what the hell.....we live on the lake......as long as i can afford the mortgage...food....and BAIT....cant lose. Look forward to your 1st fishing report.

i hate the word intolerance in this context...it implies that there actually is something to be "tolerated".

circle hooks huh....they is kinda cool aint they. Good to see ya out agian JB...once again congrats to u both. Nice feeeshies. The word vicariously keeps springing to mind these days...so i'm hoping you post a few more fishy reports as i will be living the "v" word as far as fishing goes. Keep 'em coming pleeeeeze.

Awesome Solo....so used to seeing Ben on the ice...it takes a bit of getting used too. Ben...you lucky dude....lol....good stuff man...really nice fishes there bud.

Top stuff man! What a great gift...it looks awesome!

Well....what can i say. Last day for walleye today, had plans to go out with a buddy somewhere good, but then life caught up with me and i landed another night shift which meant i had to settle for in front of the house( fishing has been spectacularly awful at our end of Wabigoon Lake this ice season). To be fair i did catch a few small ones, but with one eye on the clock, a camera with a dead battery, and no fishfinder because the transducer cable got cut the other day...my heart was not really in it. To top things off.....lol.....the ice at my shore line is fast turning to slush and gave way over the top of my Sorels....thought i was going through...scared the hell out of me....but it would have only been waste high if i did...still cold wet feet kinda summed up the occasion....lol.

Thanks Dan....was wondering about the shaft length...i'll go for the 54" then.

LOL...replied to your post 'Day 2 same lake' and thought where's day 1 post...found it...dont know how i missed it yesterday...anyways....i had a similar day last week, loads of big trout on sonar....could not get them to bite anything...couple of them gave the bait a lick...that was it....like yourself we had to work real hard...i got bored...and you know me...always trying for whitefish...put on a micro tube and hooked a small 1lber 5 feet below the ice...lol. I neva knew you had a puppy...love goldns...should've brought her with you those times we went. dunno if we are gonna get the chance to icefish again this year dale...so i just wanna say thanks for showing me some new lakes, had a blast every time we went out....we'll hit the softwater together soon i hope....... Cheers mate..... still a good couple weeks of icefishing left i hope. Simon
