Know what you mean Mike - I would have sworn it was -20 on that morning. Froze my @#$ off. Miro

Sounds like GoPro action ... Good luck.

Just got back hugely disappointed ... No action. Good thing you didn't go Brad. They just weren't biting. Report to come later. Too tired now. I think in two weeks time, things will be different.

Yes - Sunday is even more sunnier and Monday warmer ... After that it is all uphill ....

Mike/Brad What do guys think what the water temp will be like given the temp forecast for the next 3 days. Highs of 3 and 4 and lows of -6 and -4. Miro

Not sure how I missed that ... thx.

Hey Mike, I noticed that you weren't packing any dry flies - do you think there won't be much action on the surface this time of the year?

Sorry Mike - that was too graphic for me ... please advise of x rating prior to posting I am glad to see that what I am taking, you also have in your arsenal. @real - no I did not tie those but I suspect that is going to become my next hobby. Just waiting to build my new shed.

This what you mean Ok - I'll keep it on my to-do list for next trip.

Hahahah love your signature ... that's what my dad tells me "you never around on summer weekends .. where the hell are you boy!"

Yes of course - have too much respect for AP to do that.

You know Mike - I figured that out when you mentioned "Cadillac of carts" ... I went for the cheaper 100$ one ... I have been spending a bit too much. I'll see how this goes and need be I can always upgrade. Thx for the worm suggestion. PS: As you can see, I am slowly also getting ready for a backcounty trip by mid-summer - just gotta get some light camping gear. Ciao, Miro

Think I am ready from an inventory perspective ... nightcrawlers are the only thing remaining which I will pick on the way up there.... Now, if I can only lay my hands on this elusive creature. Any additional suggestions? Miro

My pic of the cart didn't load but nonetheless I am driving in Friday evening .... Late night. Have fun you all.

Wow ... That's exactly where I will be ... Hope to see u. ... I will look for you and drop by for a hello.

Haha - I read your response and am reminded of myself last fall. Spent the entire winter in anticipation for season opener, doing research and making connections (online and offline) and piling my gear .... and now I think I am ready for another shot. Just bought my last remaining gear and now ready for AP next weekend. Mike - I bought the cart from MEC as you once posted a link on this site. Have you used this particular model? Miro

Narrated like a movie. Nice story, great penmanship there, Mike. It's the experiences that fill our lives and the only meaningful things we leave behind.

Hahaha - I'll be there too friend. And I'll be hitting that spot we talked about. Can't wait. Leaving on the night of 27th and coming back on the 1st. Can't wait to get this fish off my mind ... haunting me all winter. Miro

Okay. Thx for all the comments guys. Looks like warranty is key when it comes to waders.

Cool .. thanks for the input. I think I will go for the $200 Simms at the BasPro and will check for warranty. I really liked the Bare too but its a little on the pricey side for me.

Hey gang, Just getting ready for my latest hobby "fly fishing" and would love your help in picking out my first set of waders. Went to Le Baron and tried these comfy and durable looking waders by Bare called Adam's waders. They were for $275 http://www.baresport...ders/Adams/Mens Then drove to BassPro in Vaughan and saw these two White River extreme waders. Normally for $199 but now on sale for $149 http://www.basspro.c...uct/90615/98914 Simms for $199 http://www.basspro.c...10205276/145261 I am looking for good value; a decent compromise between $$ I spend and the value I get out of them. I will probably use them only 10-15 times a year, mainly in the summer and early fall. Yes, I am looking for the stocking-foot kind, and not the one with boots attached. Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks, Miro

I was at the Rouge River tribs yesterday and they were lots of them, also saw rainbows and brown trout. On a separate note, do people eat suckers?

And so I hear ... I did find a lot there somewhat reasonable given the other prices ... but I am not sure if it is suitable for a future building. But given its proximity to some brookie fishing, it just might be worth it. I think I should drive up there and see it up close. Thanks for the comments. Miro

Thanks. Of course Kawagama and area. The closer to the park the better. The reason I want a shore property is to turn it into a cottage at some point in the future. Until then it will serve as my base camp for precisely what you recommended.

Hi guys, This fishing business just has no end. First it was just trying it with my brother in the Rouge river. Fell in love with it. Even bought a house right next to the river. Then it was a canoe, then a bow rider, then a kayak, then fly fishing, and NOW, thinking about buying a property up north. Can't afford a cottage, so thinking of a lot. Found a couple on a couple of good lakes, or so I think. What would you recommend between Kenisis and Miskwabi? Mind you, I am also obssesed with brookies. I think u will say Kenisis. Thx Miro
