not just dumb but highly illegal....get caught transporting live fish never mind dropping them in a diff lake than they where caught and I hope u get caught

have been physically removed by the authorities on more than 1 river for trespassing simple ticket NOT!!!!! VERY EXPENSIVE....KNOW BEFORE YOU GO IS THE JUDGES ANSWER... depending on who owns property..you would not be able to afford it.. case in point EMILY LAKE...off sturgeon lake,,,,actually deeded to hunt club...doctors lawyers judges police all members...good luck with that fight and it can be accessed by boat and motor

no trouble just keep an eye on wires as they can get real hot with a low battery and load

trespassing is a big issue before you paddle it make 100% sure have copy of mnr and land office decision with you to show police have been involved with this issue in the past can be very time consuming and expensive not really worth the fight imo

would not!!! the circuit boards and control modules are very closely matched any interference in the system cant be good in my opinion the main 12 volt wires go all the way to motor anyway and can be nightmare to get at the head of electric is just a long range switch which tells puc in motor to let power through

there may still be pics on the walls at bobcaygeon legion of what it looked like before dam and the railway is gone but it was what is now county rd 24 cold water species cisco yes but water gets wormed up with stopping it trent system was more of a river than a chain of lakes as it is today

yes at the time the only way to bobcaygeon was by rail..there was no roads and dams the lakes where more natural the resort I believe is still on the island but a cottage now

fished many bass and walleye tournaments over the years in the kawarthas since the OV BASS TOURNAMENTS back in the 80's have won my share of both I can assure u that since the 1 day tounaments started that some luck is involved but luck has nothing to do with the fact that same guys are top ten week after week practice,lure where the fish are when they are there..you will do well if you follow this just remember your chances go way down if you hook fish too close to tournament day

for the people who clean a few walleye I hope you chk to see what they are eating when walleye stocked in the kawarthas yrs ago there was no muskie,bass carp,perch the kawarthas used to be full of cisco (herring) 1st resort/cottage on pigeon lake was established on trugo island near what is now alpine village area wealthy American family who paid to have most the game fish speciesyou now catch stocked in the lake my point is no matter what you bame the stocks on there is a complete lack of baitfish for the population of walleye have caught walleye with frogs,crawfish ,perxh in them..where are all the minnows?

walleye recovery is just an opinion obviously no 1 here will convince me the #'s will ever come back to what it was in the 60's and 70's not unless you shut down the fishery altogether.. mnr comes up with #'s that are compared only with the last 10 yrs.. if you slow the rate of decline in their eyes its a good thing just my opinion

THANK YOU yes lots of factors just hope slot sizes and lower limits will reduce human factor

its amazing how the fisheries , wildlife , environment took care of itself then you add humans...an arrogant species who thinks they can manage mother nature herself....

understand what your saying seems to me that the same attitude surprised the heck out of the people on the east coast of Canada no way can we catch all the cod on the ocean.....got so bad they put a no fishing law in tell me if you can overharvest a ocean whats the chances of a lake surviving and yes other factors where involved there as well

THINK THE LIMITS SHOULD BE LESS 2 FISH PER LICENSED ANGLER NO TO FEEDING FRIENDS GET A LICENSE GET OUT THERE AND CATCH IT EVER EAT MORE THAN 2 WALLEYE IN A SITTING YES THIS IS A BIG ISSUE DAY AFTER DAY TAKING LIMITS....AMAZING HOW OFTEN ITS THE LOCALS THAT BREAK RULES THE EXCUSE IS " BEEN DOING IT FOR YRS HAVEN'T HURT A THING"

I agree it certainly is hurting the lake

sinker I don't totally disagree with you but around 8 yrs back the walleye bite was on on lake scugog it was unbelievable to see the mass of boats and fishermen..catching limit after limit mnr showed up and even though many "anglers" were charged it didn't stop the slaughter that took place I believe this is a big factor in lack of fish slots and limits are not made for the anglers that care they are not made for zebra mussels and crappy its made to prevent humans from destroying a species

seen tis 2 times on stoney lake once both where dead the 2nd time I unlocked them and away they went

this slot was implemented a Cpl yrs before the rest of the kawarthas seems to be working lots of non keeper fish can be caught prime spawner was believed to be between 14-21 inches determined by the chance of a walleye growing to a maturity

i'm curious on peoples opinions of what they consider the best slot sizes and limits myself i'm a fan of the current slot and limit that is in place on balsam lake

i'm talking of the masses amount of walleye fishermen on the kawarthas other than balsam is crazy i'm a witness to the movement of fishermen through these lakes not talking here about those that just want a feed talking about those that move lakes cause slot fish easier to catch there and easier to limit out time after time... tell me how easy it is to catch a legal walleye on balsam compared to rice. sturgeon.pigeon then tell me how easy it is to just catch walleye on these lakes legal or not point is fill a lake with fish is fine but realize that it would not take long to empty it without limits.. we need to quit messing with mother nature.. slow the slaughter of our resources....let the stocks build back up

people here need to take a trip to balsam see how many walleye fishermen out there lucky if u find 1 chk regs before u go not same slots or possession limits as the rest of the kawarthas.. me thinks maybe lack of table fare from this lake has something to do with the awesome stocks....yes along with all other factors but if you cant kill it then they wont fish it!!!

me thinks u may know me and what I use...may have been in boat together

me knows where they will be just getting there will be exciting if water is down look straight out front of ur house. now turn a little left..now go about 6-7 hundred yards...you could see them if it wasn't for the ice

u ever hear from spooled again? wonder if he is coming up for early walleye
