Yes, but who the heck would buy CARP?? I think they got the spelling wrong on that one! oooops, sorry, just noticed that that's a carp you are holding.

A couple of questions: Where do you get 'roe juice' Is it just what drips out of roes that you've kept, or do you buy it? "plastics in the fall/winter"--do you mean for bows, or for bass, walleye and pike?.

I see some joking refs on here re marshmallows, earplugs etc but I understand that some people (maybe less now than years ago) do use such things as pieces of sponge and marshmallows and catch fish. I've noticed that C Tire, for e.g., sell dyed marshmallows in a jar as fish bait. Has anybody on here tried some of these goofy baits and caught fish? Is any of that stuffy any more 'goofy' than a piece of yarn?

Like I said, baffling!!

I didn't think you could do that with Bell. I've been on their baffling website and couldn't see how to do that.

Actually, just around a foot. See here:http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/data/now/wlevels/dbd/ Bear in mind that with strong winds the level at a particular location can fluctuate a foot or more. I see this happen quite a bit here in Wasaga. See here: http://www.waterlevels.gc.ca/C&A/Graphs/collingwood.htm

Have a GPS for your car? Want one? You can have mine. Needs new screen, broke it with hammer!

I just got the stuff so I can't tell how good it is. Looks good to me--big eggs--but I'm a relative newby to steelheading. so what do I know? I've only caught 1 on roe so far. The other few have been on lures.

I didn't catch any female salmon so bought a pound of roe for $20. I was told it was from farm raised fish. Seemed like a good solution to me.

What, just like walleye???

A friend of mine has good luck with Blue Foxes. I have better luck with Cleos than I've had with Foxes.

My felt sole came off the front half of 1 boot this AM. I limped around in it for a while, but not a good solution!. Any special way to reattach it? Contact cement, possibly? Thx

Nope, not too many women out on the river!

For bows, Little Cleos(blue and silver, or spotted) works better than most lures.(most bows seem to be aught on roe)

For walleye, bass, pike---a big "O", crayfish or white. I've even hit a couple of bows on it.

Nice wood plaque!!

My Novacraft tripper(16 ft) weighs about 45 lb and moves like a sportscar. My wife loves to paddle, so when we are out canoeing(not fishing) I usually end up just steering for a while so we don't way ahead of other folks. Dana, I didn't realize the Sportspals were so light!! A friend of mine trips with one but he's very strong. He put a hole thru the hull with some 'beaver lumber' while pulling it over a big dam. Stability is a function of hull shape rather than weight of material used.

Not sure about a cold front, but my ex-wife demonstrated a cold back many times!

I have my own kevlar so I don't know how much $$ to rent. You'll need to google that. If you are going thru SS Marie there must be a rental place there.(In fact, even if you're not, there's probably still a rental place there) Kevlars weigh about 50#, but it's not just about weight savings. Sportspals are like barges compared to the type of kevlar normally avail for rent. So., IMO, if you're doing a lot of paddling OR a lot of portaging, it will be worth the money.

forget the Sportspals. Rent a couple of lightweight kevlar ones.

Well, yes and no. As a percentage, no, but there's 1-2 km of relatively fast water in the park.

So, what's your point?

Must be a close relative of my neighbor!! Leaves??? I've heard the blower going all summer!! Wouldn't want any grass clippings on the grass, I guess, or have to bend a bit to sweep them with a broom!!!!

Any points for correct answers here? That looks like just down from the canoe launch (in your Old Town canoe) with the fast water just ahead! When I fish this river I usually use the canoe mainly to get me to uncrowded spots, then fish from shore.

Another solution---get a canoe. You can access areas that are otherwise hard to get to.
