I have no problem with restricted access. IE no motorized...but planes are motorized...thats my beef. The same with the cacheing boats thread. Tourist operators cache boats. I feel this is to make up for screwing up the spring bear hunt.

They make a lot more off of they guys that drive in rather than fly.

A chick from Toronto deciding where we can go fishing Wait a second here. I know they are avoiding saying these road closures are to protect the fly in operators. To do this they say no motorized access. I already have a beef with planes having motors, but, Esanagi is also accessed by train for the tourist operators there. Have they stopped train travel there as well? Or is a train not considered motorized either.

What wer'e dealing with here is not a tourism zone. Its just "road closed" and you can't drive it. It is specifically to keep people from accesing fly in lakes. Problem is, many people have been fishing these lakes for years, the loggers come and make a road down the old trail, and now you can't go there any more. It used to be that any where you had the gumption to go, you were allowed to. Now a company can say, I want to fly there and make a few bucks so I want the government to keep everybody else out.

works for me

Their perogative? Isn't this OUR country. They just work for US Its their way of settling the tourist operators for screwing up the bear hunt. And crown land is OUR land. The thing is, unless there is money involved, people don't stick together. Money for tourist operators, so they stick together and government listens. Hey, how bout that Mcguinty and his lottery guys

why can you fly to a lake, but not drive to it. I don't get the difference other than the lining in your pockets.

What gets me is the no motorized access. How do these planes run...pedals? We have been fishing lakes for years, and all of a sudden we can't. I remember one outfitter used to cut trees down and block the canoe route into one lake. Now they take the easy way and pay the politicians to make it illegal.

We must be talking about 2 different things. This has to be part of the trailer originally. OK, I googled this http://shop.easternmarine.com/index.cfm?fu...;categoryID=215 forgetting the pin http://www.boatingabc.com/forums/ubbthread...ue_Don_t_f.html I don't think I like the add on kit. Mine is all welded plates and very solid. Drilling and bolting that light wall tubing scares me a bit.

You mean a folding trailer tounge right? I have one. It works fine. Its great for saving space in the driveway. Just don't forget to put the pin in...DAMHIKT

How do you people manage to break all these rods? There must be some awfully big fish out there that I don't know about

Tie your line to one eye of the 3 way. Tie a hook on about 1 metre of line to another eye of the 3 way. Tie the bell sinker with about 30 cm of line to the last eye. Just a worm on the hook so it is stretched out. Bounce the sinker on bottom under the bridge. You gotta have a stMarys river anchor to anchor there or you will likely be leaving it stuck in the rocks. If you have a little boat that you can lift, you can put it in at that little park right at the bridge, otherwise, if you have to launch, its $5 at Richards landing marina. If the pearch bite the end of your worm off, you gotta put a new one on. The only way to get the eyes under the bridge is a full worm and no jewelry with it. So I been told. At night from shore, a Rapala will work

So what sized boat do you need for a trip like this? Would my little 16' Sylvan make it?

So...aka Spider girl now eh

Nice coin toss

I was figuring the same as you Dr.

Nice fish. I never knew about that spot. Just may head down there tonight

Them Black things sure make you look good at the launch eh

I know a real good one in Oshawa that could reccomend somebody

I just wanna see the prescription

thats what I'm thinking too

well, that comment explains a lot

why is that?

You're retired right?

You been getting your fair share of time on the water lately. Good for you. So what was the Chinnys favorite meal pray tell
