Dam burst at hatchery kills thousands of fish
aniceguy replied to danbouck's topic in General Discussion
Who really is in control of Normandale Ringwood is an OFAH hatchery, and from what I understand Normandale is also under the control of OFAH...This will be an utter blame game in the weeks to come -
Johhny when I get time tonight I ll PM you exactly where there are un touched and unpressured Pike
-
good point. If you have proof ( gas reciept or some sort of reciept dated ) from the area you were in I guess no issues without it it becomes your word against his and we all know where thats going in most cases
-
its a strange world one CO has one set of guidelines I have seen a CO ( Im not sure if its Bruce as Im not familiar with him) lay a charge for hanging onto a fish too long for pics and it floped and rolled...and the opposite with a walleye float away with 5 on a stringer......interpretation is I guess 90% of it...I like that feed of fish as soon as they leave water personally......want another feed just go fishing is my motto.... Enjoy those blackflies Wayne, seems the fire ants will be in full force too.....but I ll take both over those pesky ankle biting deer flies
-
Comes into play many times via party fishing in particular when guys are filling limits for uncles and beyond...no you dont need a liscense if you bought the fish from a vendor retaileretc...but if caught via angling it still continues to count as your aggragate limit..In other words giving, donating, or beyond your 2 fish means your over the limit... YET another confusing part of our regulations...soo much for streamlining them

What I've Been Up To The Last 3 Months (NF)
aniceguy replied to solopaddler's topic in General Discussion
good to see its all done, cant believe that bath went from what I saw last week to completion....good job...the house will be a mint deal for anyone out that way 100% -
thanks for posting this I will drop off a decent box of goods today

Im assuming your locale to the Credit means this was on the lower access point, to the no kill zone. Its nothing new in that locale to see anglers disobey a very obvious posting. Good for you on mentioning to them to read the sign, as after that pretty much only calling the CO directly would have had an impact. Even with visable signage, someone telling them its a no kill, they still choose to break a law, again just goes to solidify a point that even with some education and knowledge they still choose to potentially go fish and break a law.. Good for you...if you run into that again I can PM you my cell number and I can call our Local CO directly on his cell.. Again good on you for trying to educate them

Using marshmallows to catch steelhead....
aniceguy replied to Billy - Curtiss's topic in General Discussion
Well Well Woke up to see a few more posts added to this absurd topic. Not withstanding the 30 hrs a week I dedicate to them, or the hundreds of papers I have read, hundreds of discussions with scientists, to fishing them with a major passion for a very long time, lets go at this once and for all. Life History of this fish places it for 2 plus years in a river ( if its a migratory)in that time it is constantly looking up and feeding on what's floating down, a pre smolt, or resident fish will take a nip at anything that resembles food, its triggered visually ( although most rainbows' sit in generally faster flows over the warmer weather) and as such the acuity is dependent on water clarity, and hydrology ( flow) and a sense of smell. Many of these rainbow smolts in our locale have a diet ( where available ) some theroies have of up to 90% sucker fry but as opportunistic feeders will dine on it all. Now lets talk baits from organics to non organics. Firstly as I said trout are opportunitistic feeders in their natal environment, that's not always the case in a migratory run, where angling pressure, hydrology, life history adoption in a lake environment change the game slightly. If we are fishing deep pools or runs with the right shot technique the bait is getting down to the bottom 1/4 of the water, with today's fluorocarbon lines light is refracted and virtually invisible and the fish don't see it coming, but again as opportunistic feeders might take a nip, and in some cases won't. Given that generally at those depth's a lot of color perception is lost to steelhead it becomes more of a " pre programming" and smell instinct bite, these fish will move away from certain baits such as a marshmallow, oversized jig, so on and so on on in many cases ( not always but in overwhelming majority) they will however hone in on baits that should be there, bugs, roe , and after a freshet worms etc.... Now we talk alternatives such as used in BC corkies flies pink worms and beyond. If one looks at a corkie closely you will see that it is generally a round object many times has a propeller added and as such drifting in a river looks very close to a piece of skein or a chunk or roe again generally used in BC simply due to the fact that geomorphology of these rivers is condusive to that sort of rig, will it catch fish here sure but with other baits available that provide and infinitely higher hook up ratio many don't use them. Flies in their nature are designed to look like food and as such are quite effective, in certain instances and days might out produce an organic such as roe or worms. Pinkies are the same they look like a juvenile worm, mind you I don't know many pink worms but it is one color that does penetrate the lower quadrant of water and as such presents its self as a reddish to cream colored bait as the color is filtered out, almost spot on in fact to a sub species of worm living in close proximity to river banks, ( I don't recall the species butI recall seeing its color and it was darn close to a pinkie when in deeper water ) Now we move to marshmallow's we have the camp fire sized ones and the mini's Using them in an estuary first for staging Chinook. Chinook are larger fish and are also notorious for gasping mouths this is due to the gravid nature of death and the need for more O2 to flow along the gill rakes, it makes them a prime target for this technique of floating a marshmallow above a bell sinker add some fluorocarbon or PtFE coated line and its a recipe for lots of hook ups, all the while 999.9999 out of 1000 not being a legitimate hook call it what it is but thats the truth. Now we talk the small mellows in a stream environment targeting migratory rainbows. Sitting in a pool, the simple nature of presentation is going to get it right down in its nose, will that rainbow bite or move away, I will wager to say that 99.9% of the time its going to move away for some of the reasons mentioned, now go and add some fluorocarbon line minimal weight and a long leader and there is the recipe for a foul hooked fish, and while the angler thinks its a take down in reality its a fish that had the bait floated into its mouth. In the vast majority of cases this same rule applies to a run or riffle where these fish will hold once water temps rise. To make a summation. Yes even a cigarette butt will ( in the right presentation) hook a rainbow, yes even a marshmallow will hook a rainbow, in fact I know a pool right now where with the right presentation you will hook double digits with this bait, but and here is the but, 99.9999% of those fish will be force fed or in fact snagged simply due to the undulating nature of this bait thats in its self is loaded with air and designed to float, with so many viable alternatives out there and given the matter of fact above I cant understand why would anyone use this bait other then for the simple fact that they don't care if the fish eats and are quite happy to just hook one rather then hook one fairly. Now go ask a CO if the charge was fair as the hook was buried under its chin or in the side of the chin due to the simple nature of the bait and see where it goes from there even though you saw the float go down and the fish had the headshakes Mike and others thanks for your comments........and again personal attacks not withstanding if this educates 2 people then its a good thing, If your interested in more information feel free to PM me -

wow gotta love it.... Went and looked through a pile of pics to find this mysterious stinger filled with bass....so here is that mysterious pic that seems to be brought up from time to time.... Little Lake yuk.....great lake for pan fish with a small boat and the kids (nice icecream place too) but to eat a bass come on shake the heads boys..... Photoshop and enlarge the pic as much as you can last I remember there was no stringer through this fish...... just so we are crystal clear but thanks for the reminder I cant believe how much grayer I am these days so are we going to go back to a discussion in earnest or are you good ole boys into some more mud Burt no Point really going there...... -

Im an ass eh........nice on you way to step down to the level of bubbles and crew...Im not even going to say what I think The technique of using a marshmellow is going to get you charged.....using a treble hook that has lead added when not treated as a gaff isnt illegal but its gonna get you chaged 100% God some people are just that dense I guess how can you put hunting in the same context as fishing LOL Im done Now Mod's you have someone calling me a name how are you going to respond to that Done here Roy I ll pm you the rest -

didnt someone once say you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink it.... Some People no matter how hard you try to explain something in a fashion that makes sense just dont get it... Let me say something that any normal angler will understand......there is a difference between a fish chraging and attacking a bait because it thinks its food as opposed to it running into its mouth and you drive the hook home....anyone who thinks that the latter is sport well they are just loose a few.... This has nothing to do with elitism, or snoobish attitudes or mentality, rather it has everything to do with something that is imoral and lacks a huge amount of ethics, any angler who cares is going to step up and try and educate others......again if you dont understand it then dont ad you person Bull in stead let this thread die and next time try and do some research on it before engaging foot in mouth.. It can be put into any type of context and with any type of fish... No argument at all again the original post was to educate on the technique and Im sorry some cant get it through thier heads that potentially it just might be that way......Pretty Bush I say... If you wish to enter a discussion on the merits of educating ppl on the right technique Im all ears but if you want to take it to some other level.............well I dont think so ........saw enough Bush this weekend for a while On a side note I re read the initial response to the question asked....dont know where some of the comments came from, maybe someof you quaterbacks should answer it rather then jump on someone for actually answering the initial post... -

Saw a charge come out of that on Bowmanville a few years ago exact same method its not overly difficult to see it going on..and its a very different method then bottom bouncing ...Guess the particular CO was interpreting the regs that day I could debate the merits of running a lindy on the Detroit River as opposed to a small 10 M wide stream all day, and bottom boucing small streams vs the ver so popular float fishing but another time and place for sure.. Green coach...honestly unless I know something beyond reasonable doubt even Im not about to post it... and sometimes I do certainly make mistakes but buddy on this 1 I know without a shadow of a doubt purpose of my post was to educate the 100's of lurkers who have nothing to contribute, other then a mess on a river or a snagged fish on the shore.... Im out of this discussion its only going to go down hill from here...hope it educated someone because lately all Im seeing is fights and more when in some instances all a poster wanted to do was educate someone... -

I dont think I ll even touch the first one that means Im stopping to a lower level...purpose of this is to educate and if someone cant see beyond that well.........like I said Im not going there, Actually saw video of it once....and yes it is lining a fish....or as the US good Ole Boys call it lifting and no disrepsct there green coach but I think my education curve on this goes a wee bit beyond yours sorry but its still lining a fish and is immoral and illegal.....but someone ince said you cant educate the ignorant, and not thats not a reference to anyone at all just a simple matter of fact
