Dave Bailey Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Yeah, it's a thing. Cue screams of outrage from P3TA in 3... 2... 1... https://vimeo.com/139723072 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Cool, MNR does that with a beaver equipped with water bomber floats, dumping them out of the step water locker around Temagami lakes. Sucks when you find an entire year class on the shore at the end of the lake though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Those lakes look like awful trout habitat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Why Bill... I thought I was riding along into my Temagami Brookie lakes with the guy. Same shapes, shorelines etc. We now have comments going on two identical threads though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Looks muddy, shallow and warm. Unless the Forty Creek has taken over my eye sight tonight :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 There was a couple weed ringed "ponds" that were off, but the long narrow zig zaggy lakes are usually deep folds in the rock. That said, we always catch the brookies in less than 5 feet of water when ice fishing and I don't think the main lake we fish is very deep in the middle.

Unless the Forty Creek has taken over my eye sight tonight :) Forty Creek is muddy, shallow and warm. Salmons and trouts can't even get up it anymore.

mike rousseau Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I don't understand... Why not land then release the fish? I would think a fair amount are injured or killed like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think a fair amount are injured or killed like this... The more take-offs and landings you do, the more you increase the chance of something going wrong. Better to risk a few fish than an aircraft and crew. It also would take a lot more time. There's also the possibility that some of those waterbodies would be too small to land or take-off.
