You could be a lucky guy. Maybe the best walleye fishing going is about 30 miles to the northeast of Melfort in Tobin Lake.

Huge walleye and pike are found very close to where you will be.
Good Luck
Morels are completely different than puffballs.
They almost taste like beef tenderloin. Very delicious but very specific season, usually first couple week or so of May.
Brookies and fiddleheads, nice.
Down this way, this time of year, i would add black morels to the mix. Sometimes walleyes instead of brookies.
Thoroughly cleaned and then cooked in fresh butter with cracked pepper and lemon. Yum Yum!
Walking out into your yard in T.O and seeing a deer is cool.
Have seen coyotes around Humber Bay parks, n clear view of CN tower and Gardiner expressway at same time.
Catching carp on fly rod must be a tussle.
Incredible underwater photos!
25 yrs. ago i remember catching little brookies in a ditch on the side of hwy. 115.
Turned out they fed into Cavan River a trib of the Otanabee R. Go figure?
This should be locked soon....
Hard to tell if you are a troll or just living under a rock.
Licences have been mandatory in Ontario for a quarter century. Yes, Ottawa is in Ontario.
Lockdown coming....
I think the reason there is not much "push baits" available in the GTA is the lack of decent catfish species around here. Plenty of bullheads around here caught a bunch when i was around 5 yrs. old from Lake Ontario marshes or trib estuaries.
There are some channel cats but not many. Lake Erie or GBay estuaries have more channel cats.
Good fishing
So walleye will open in FMZ 17(Kawarthas) at midnght tonight. I would check the regs before going. There were new limits that started last year.
Walleye have to be between 35-50 cm(13.8-19.7in.)to be kept. With a conservation license only one can be kept, 4 can be kept with sport license. That really lessens the amount of fish kept.
Balsam has different regs where fish between 37-55 cm. can't be kept. Only one can be kept with conservation license, 3 can be kept with sport.
Rather confusing but should be followed as CO's are checking.
In years past i would have a run on Pigeon Lake that was decent. Walleye opener always seemed rainy and cool like it is this weekend. Always was a good time anyways.
Can't really help with the computer issues but undoubtedly you have a huge sturgeon on.
Fished Rainy River when i was a kid and was scared of catching a sturgeon by accident.
Seems to happen every year to me, most of the time the Musky takes the microtube, always end up breaking the 4lb mono. Wish they would be there a month or so later.
Great story!
Wow, another great report!
I always wondered about those spinners. Now i am sure they work fine and where to use them.
Much valuable fishing info can be gleaned from your photos.
Great stuff, thanks for sharing it!
