trapshooter Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Been putting some time into chasing lakers and whitefish. My buddy Mike from Kenora came over for a trip. Overall we did pretty well, not huge numbers but quality fish. I'm just going to let the pictures roll..... This next fish was the highlight of my trip, maybe my season. It's not massive big, but a real nice fish... great fight and I really like how the pics turned out... so I'm posting 3 pics of the same fish. It hit a lindy darter about 5 mins after I tied it on and dropped it down. I think Mike was most impressed with this Ling. Overall it has been a great season on the ice. March is usually the best month, so lots of ice fishing to look forward to yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Sweet report as usual Ben. All I know for sure is that the fish aren't biting at the OPP construction site in Dryden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapshooter Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Well Dan, the good news is that you wouldn't have to travel very far!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Beauty Lakers all around! I totally get what you're saying about the Laker that wasn't the biggest but most impressive. I felt the same way after landing a larger sized laker outside of Simcoe. I've caught bigger in Simcoe but that one was much more memorable.

Joeytier Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I can't get over just how many truly huge fish you are pulling in up there. Fish of a lifetime for many, each one of them. You must just be lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other spot I tried is along that shoreline where I talked to you back in early January. Went there twice and caught 4 lakers and a couple wf. 35 fow. I need to get in there this spring/summer with a boat/graph and handheld GPS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've trying to convince people i know with smaller boats to sail down the creek in there for years...so far no takers...lol. Do you know if the camp would let you use their launch?

Do you know if the camp would let you use their launch? I have heard that he doesn't. So you need a boat small enough to hand-bomb into the creek. Apparently our friend, Mr. Greenpants, has permission for the camp launch though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
