Trust me ill be making my way to erie one day for bass.
I dont see many erie reports of 150 walleye days though lol.
Thats cool if ya dont wanna travel here.
Maybe its better left untapped?
Thats the thing. You can do one or the other or both.
There is SO MUCH LAKES its unreal. Im not joking when I say you can fish 3 lakes in a day no prob
Yep. Kenora has massive alcohol and drug issues. Probably the highest per capita ive ever seen.
At night youll get stabbed for ten bucks.
Not a week goes by without a massive drug bust.
Its the only place ive ever seen that has a 100 person line up at the LCBO 2 hours before it opens.
The towns a mess in every way
Anyways back on topic
I see nets set here and they are all identified (on rainy river)
I see a few nets here and there on LOTWs unidentified and call them in.
Ive only been asked by COs to call them in but im not sure of the legalities of it???
I think they are interested mainly in unattended nets but im not positive on that.
A net should only be out for 8 to 12 hours. Otherwise its gonna risk spoiling gamefish
Yeah, you dont wanna be the guy caugjt poaching sturgeon. Its WAAAAAY stiffer laws than other gamefish. These are a protected species.
Ive caught them walleye fishing but you cant target them thats for sure.
The MNR are cool about a quick pic and release but your actually not supposed to even remove them from the water as youde be in possession.
My area is where they spawn in huge numbers. So I see alot of people get busted targeting them
Move to Kenora??? Geez man I hope your daughter is well off financially.
Kenora is a dump full of crime. Id rather walk the northend of winnipeg than downtown kenora
Yes AKRI I called the MNR immediately
The guy was busted a few weeks later and got hammered in court
Turns out he had all sorts of fish and game violations and illegal weapons charges etc
You all know Im an advocate of treaty rights.
But im a bigger advocate for nature.
Ive called the MNR a few times for unattended/unmarked nets.
Give me a second and ill find pics of netted sturgeon left to die in +30 temps in 10" of water.
Unexceptable NO MATTER WHAT
These fish, by my judgement, were there at least two days. Alive, but no way the survived revival
Fly. Its obviously faster and cheaper.
But yeah, for some if ya got great fishing in your area its kinda hard to justify.
Until ya spend a week on LOTWs and catch trophies of 6+ species
Yeah i posted that just to show how cheap a ticket is.
Winnipeg is the better route no doubt!
Way more scenic as well
For rainy lake though, go tbay route
To vermillion souix lookout kenora ear falls def. Go winnipeg route
Your MORE than welcome to come doug!!!
Funny story, and yes I meant to email you a thank you letter for your kind donation! Sorry about that!
It came in last week. And my wife decided to take a look. And hooked herself in the finger lol. Not bad but I gotta few swears out of her lol.
Thanks again buddy!!!
From kenora, to rainy river, fort frances, dryden, vermillion bay, ear falls to souix lookout is no doubt in my mind the best fresh water fisheries in the world.
Shame most canadians dont come. It almost exclusively locals and americans
