where we all fishing

[ecmilley]

Not much happening right now no ice, ranger put away, looking forward to doing some fishing over christmas or new years if any ice forms have a couple back lakes for eyes and lakers to hit in the new year, what everyone else planning on?

[Terry]

I plan on following peoples footprints to back lakes....lol

 

hope for some bays to freeze, if not the rivers

[Christopheraaron]

I fished yesterday and I'm back to the rivers sunday. Then in a couple weeks I hope to try a few haliburton ponds.

[jimmer]

It's quite a bit colder today, so maybe the kawarthas will tighten up and allow us out for some panfish. Not holding out any hope for the small lake trout lakes in Haliburton County. It seems any lake with depth are slow to freeze to a point where it is worth venturing out for a fish. Not worth the risk for me. Speckie lakes might be a different story.

The lake I'm hoping to try is a speck lake, 0.15 sq/km. not sure how deep.

[davey buoy]

River as long as it let's us, as well as waiting for the big lake to freeze!.

[Squid]

Lower Niagara for Bows, lakers browns muskies what ever hits the line!!

[Acountdeleted]

Visit Chad and Joey a few more times in North Bay. In the new year when Bancroft lakes freeze over I had a tip on where to land my first laker (I hope). and as everyone else, waiting for Simcoe to freeze. I'm making a list of lakes I want to hit up though.

[Rod Caster]

Nip is #1 on my list, I love fishing that big 'ol gal. Also I have a bunch of small lakes I'd like to ice fish in my area. I'm still looking for my first big laker so that's also on my list.

 

Last but not least, fish Simcoe with some members here

[Live2fish85]

As much as I like ice fishing, I am content fishing the rivers lol. Nothing like fighting some beauty trout on the pin.

[Rich]

I've been pike fishing, and perch fishing open water since october. Less and less steelheading as winter approaches.

I'm only 53 hours Brian! We can split the driving if you like.

[Roy]

Damn, I would have done it but I'd need another 8 hours from here (132 hours both ways) and I can't have the down time from work.

[Acountdeleted]

I'm probably off work until February and I don't have my course until January 14th....... is the fishing good there?

[dhickey]

Unfortunatly I was asked today if I could work through the hollidays.

I said shure

 

The only fishing Ill be doing is in my dreams.

On the brite side I did mannage to swing 3 mid week floater days when the Ice is on Lady Simcoe or Quinty.

 

So good luck to you all getting out

 

Be carefull.

Titelines

 

Look forward to your reports..

[GBW]

me, I'll be hitting the rivers when ever I can (with a new toy I got today! ) then the ice (if any) when walleye opens up again. If there is no ice than a boat will be inorder to cast to those tasty fish...

[aplumma]

Here is what I got 3,237 mi, 55 hours plus the 3 hour border time warp.
