No worries ... one fish caught today only. Water is cloudy , fish can't see well . Maybe by Sunday will be better .

I had a dream Tuesday night about floats firing under the surface in anticipation of what Wednesday would bring ... a front came through and killed my bonanza . We worked the water hard to get six takers and for them to throw our hooks back in our face .... was , well - frustrating .

Was informed of this contest from a friend and thought I'd pass along the info to the forum

Have you seen Redwing Tackles addition to the float reel world ? Comes with a drag system and they have a contest right now to win one .

Definately the cold seems unimportant when you're hookin' steelies . Looks like you had a great day and ... you caught males !! It seems the Notty males have gone up stream to save spots for spawning or something .

Today we decided to go out a little later than the norm , we started at 11 am and fished in one hole for four hours ( got that TC ) . First two drifts = two beauty hens slush and all . Funny thing was my friend Ray's fish caught the ice ledge and broke him off , he was more upset about the hook...

You're gonna cringe when you see todays post .

Is that you Falkner?

Family day or should that be " Fishing Day " instead . Sunday night was frigid , I mean really really cold at minus 17 , the morning wasn't much better at minus 8 . We drove off down the ice covered back roads , across the tracks and down to the river . A quick look at the river showed masses...

Why sell if you haven't used it yet ? You'll lose your purchase price if you sell it for less , no.

In the Boyne river for example , if the river is at least open down the middle , spawning will take place almost always in mid March . I knew a woman who owned property on the Boyne and she would always inform me as to when the fish were in . Very rarely did they ever spawn much earlier and if...

Hi , how are ya. Depending on water height , length of river or how early spawning takes place are all factors . Bigger rivers will have fish in them usually through into the end of May and sometimes June . Where smaller tribs are concerned , it's possible for the majority to be back in the lake...

We used a bottom rig using a barrel weight then a swivel attached to your leader ,corkie and the hook . The barrel weight allows the line to be pulled without resistance , sometimes we'd place a small shot between the barrel weight and the swivel to protect the knot from being scraped. The...

Negative ... I really wanted to but the river was still quite deep in the places where I would have to wade . So I passed it up . Soon I hope after all this snow stops , but then they say rain next week , high 7 , the spring is so touch and go , so unpredictable .

Float down ... I'm not commenting on your choices with leaders ... simply a statement ... if fluorocarbon line IS invisible to the fish ... then what difference would it make using a heavier pound line ... say a 6-8 lb. leader ... would it not still be invisible ? Just wondering ...'cause I use...

Very nice fish gentlemen ... they sure are beauties , hopefully I'll be hitting 'em in a couple of weeks , when winter goes back into hiding ... As for the white powdery stuff , I know what it is and I've got enough to keep my grass totally covered up here. Calling for possible squalls...

Used corkies alot bottom fishing with skein at the Ganny , works very well keeping the bait slightly off bottom . Haven't used them in years , I think I have like two left . Brightly coloured in two tone , solid colours too. I'd recommend them for still fishing the bottom .

'Tis an exceptional winter for sure , I'm still waiting for the Notty to go down ... which is USUALLY frozen for the most part this time of year .

VERY NICE !! that is a beautiful Steelhead and they do still have lots of energy , they'll be gettin' turned on to spawning soon .

How's everybody today ? Finished my yearly routine of banging out another book through BLURB .CA for my library . It was a far more active year this time around , with way more pics than last year . This book , I titled : simply - 2011 . I managed to round it off at 112 pages , could have...
