Thats is THE dumbest thing ever!!! Looks soooo fun;)

I'm not too sure about how long it takes for walleye eggs to mature to the right size before depositing?(something to look into) but my bud on rainy lake said their about half the size they should be. Water temps here on the river are still at 39 degrees. At what point does time triumph conditions for the spawn? I'm watching my area closely to try to learn. Everything I've noted says 43-45 degrees and its on. Very possible those temps have been reached downriver at wheelers/LOTW

thats good news for that body of water:)

it sure is!!!! Just got word from a friend today that rainy lake is the same. Few weeks before walleye will spawn. Crappy news. Ying and yang i guess after a few really good spawns in a row.

Never seen these boxes, but sounds kinda silly. If my gear gets wet i just leave the box open at home to dry, works like a charm(keep it away from your kids or animals of course)

I've had days here where we just quit fishing because of a "presence" making us feel unwelcome. Thats just how it is sometime. One year, with really low water, me and my kids explored the shore for a few miles. It was really cool to see things that hadn't been seen in years. We got to one point where we just looked at each other and turned around. Very odd and overwhelming feeling to not go any further. Never been back to that spot either and it still bugs me out. A local elder whome i shared the story with said that i was indeed unwelcome. There was a battle fought there and it was alive with ill willed spirits. But on the water i was welcome by the turtle, so do not fear the water

good man!

I'm no elder but id bet this would be their advice as well. Did you lay tobacco? Always give an offering when removing something from nature. Also burning leftover food is another good offer

I'd never keep a walleye that big lol, i like the real small guys, nothing bigger then 17". Anyhow it was an out of season catch. I'm in zone 5, walleye doesn't open till May 17th. RRFN stands for rainy river First Nations. Its in NW ontario, smack dab between Thunder Bay and winnipeg

Well, after this gnarly winter it certainly appears the walleye spawn will be late and possibly line up perfectly with opener, d'oh. I spent a few hours tossing husky jerks for pike, in high cold water. No luck at all for the past few days. Just about to leave i tried slow rolling the shoreline with a spinnerbait. First cast, fish on. Maybe 5fow. Felt like maybe i hooked a stick, the a good head shake. Made me think mid 30's pike, until I got the barrel roll. Damn its a big walleye. Fought like a beast after that, i was thinking ten plus. Got it to shore, gave it a good look, fish was about 7.5 -8lbs, plopped the hook then release. End of my day. Beauty lake walleye, nice clean colour, fat as all heck. But no eggs and not even a puckered butt. This year is gonna be brutal. Water temps still only 39. Just thought id share

those that criticize others is usually a result of their own shortcomings as a human being. There are exceptions of course but remember the vast majority of the membership here are absolutely perfect, from birth.

To be in p3ta it must be a requirement to have a massive dose of fluoride and peroxetine

this is the best NF post I've ever read i this site

Your girlfriend is mad over what? Lol, smoke signals work well. Nice catch of crappie:)

oh cool. Frig i wonder which place I'm thinking of then? I wanna head back there someday. Hard to remember, man i man did i put in the work hours back then. 4 on 4 off and i worked 3 of my days off with the mill rights and electricians. I'm thinking of a place in red lake now that i think about it. That highway is nuts, never seen so many moose in my life. You cant even get to the speed limit

Lol i cant believe they left that in the video

lol think i know the place. Pretty sure thats the place that id order Philly cheesesteaks from even though it wasn't on the menu. At least i think its the same place. That place in vermillion was awesome too, attached to the baitshop. Best chilli ever, served with homemade garlic bread and homemade tortilla chips. I miss that place lol. Funny story. A few big wigs came down to the mill. After work they wanted to fish. Somehow my name can up and i ended up guiding these two fellows on the English river. I had zero idea about the river haha. I'm not even sure where they got the boat lol. No electronics at all. Just winged it feeling obligated to show a good day fishing. Man was i scared/nervous. Turns out we just hammered walleye for the 4-5 hours we were out. They were so happy. If i remember correctly i think thats where I got the referral for the job in kelowna right before the buy out. Everyone in the mill shared a chuckle, cause they knew i didnt know the water at all, and these guys were just talking me up lol. Good memories

yeah for sure, thats pretty cool. I think its danc that did work for Weyerhaeuser in dryden too if I'm not mistaken. But if your ever up that way, check out tom and sleepy dog cabins. Place is unreal. And hes an amazing guy. Rented me a 11 man cabin during the winters for 300 bucks a month lol. Satelite, big screen tvs, jacuzzi. The hole nine yards. Up on the hill overlooking the lake. Brought me supper a few times per week. Plowed the road at 3am when it snowed so i could get to work. That man is a great human being

lol yep no walleye at all. Never did fish whitefish but wish i had. Fishing up there was nutso. I lost a camera there with over 5000 pics, man i cant believe that. Funny you went to kamloops too. At one point they flew me down for a parts manager position lol. Never even talked work, just golfed beautiful courses and ate like a king

ear falls bush art. I woulda worked there for life if i coulda. I was let go at the buyout do to seniority. I lived at wine lake, sleepy dog camp. Heaven on earth

he's supporting the poor drug dealers, thats apart of his economic development plan lol. Anyhow i dont know the man nor do i live in toronto. I was being sarcastic. Maybe it started with buying illegal cigarettes??? I hear thats a gateway to the gangster life

When i worked for Weyerhaeuser they took all our suggestions too misfish. I worked alit with the mill rights addresses mechanical or electrical hazards. Man i miss working for that company. When they said safety first they actually meant it. I did catch some flack though when the CEO visited and i wrote him up on a lockout violation haha

Time to drug test the government lol. Probably shut it down for 6 months
