Hey Mike . tried to PM you but your mail box is full . You'll have to delete some to receive more PMs.

Nice Saugeen steelies , I'm glad to see you had success on the outing . It makes the distance travelling more so worth it . It sure was a beauty day today .

I was just thinking about what happened with " ex0or " lately ... you were so active with your posts last fall . Are you sure you want to part with your gear ? I mean there is got to be an open window some time in the future for you to slip down to the river , if not only to clear your mind and...

Sometimes when you have a fish on and they jump or spin , the hook transfers from the mouth to another part of the body , purely by accident . I've had fish on , jumping and shaking their heads and then it some how feels different and takes way too long to land . Finally bring the fish in and...

Ray and I ventured out Sunday afternoon for a couple of hours . Cool , grey skies and few fish hitting . We managed one drop back hen at the first hole and then on to another with a couple of shakers taking interest . I was drifting a hole at the top of a long run and my float was almost bumping...

I caught one about the same size earlier and without seeing it , I thought I had a huge steelhead on , another person yelled out - carp ...but we have caught larger ones too .

Drop back = a fish which has been up river and has spawned . Now it's" dropping back " to the lake ." Shaker = a fish usually in the smaller range of 1 - 3 pounds .

Oh, what a chilly morning it was . When the sun graced us with it's presence it was oh so warm. We , being a party of five set out at sunrise and headed down to the river . Overcast and a slight wind chill kept the fingers chilled and hoods on . Worked the river hard , no eddy , run, hole or...

Nice fish FD , I am kind of partial to that outstanding buck in the 7th. pic . The bucks with their kypes hooked inside give them lots of character and that one has character...

Don't forget everyone ... if you see those nasty lamprey in the river or on a fish , destroy it by chucking it way up on shore and make sure it can't wriggle itself back to the water. I've pulled them off of salmon in the fall . At the Humber river dam at Old Mill they have lamprey traps at the...

Peaceful is exactly the descriptive word for the majority of the Notty watershed . You almost feel you've been dropped in the middle of the wilderness ... until you hear ... rat - a-tat-tat !! boom-boom !!! ratt-ta-taaattt !!!! These sounds are from only one specific source when they are doing...

Very true , you know I don't move very much , but this time Ray insisted starting in the holes ... but it was the farm that had the magic . As the level drops more it will get better and more concentrated , lots of fish still coming and going .

March 28th . 2012 The Notty finally dropped and is clearing quite nicely . My friend Ray and I ventured out for some long awaited steelhead action on my name sake river . We started off in a deep slow pool and with no takers moving our floats ... we decided to head down river and hit the...

Happy Birthday , at least 15 minutes left anyway , hope you had a grand day !!!!! So you're on the cusp of 30 ...

I use my little finger on my right hand and it's got one honkin' callus on it too . My other friends tend to use their middle and index fingers , kind of like cupping their hand over the side of the reel . I think I got my little finger involved because of the way I used my spinning reel for...

Jacks are immature salmon , usually males in the 1 - 6 pound range . The males mature ( sexually ) faster than the females and are capable of spawning along with the mature ones . The jacks however do not live on and prosper , they die right along with the adults and never return to the lake ...

:rolleyes: :lol:

Hey Meanderer ...I don't fish the spinner game much any more but I still have a few kickin' around . My trout lures were Silver fox number 4 s super vibrax in Chartreuse and Black with green dots. Panther Martin # 2 silver and Mepps Aglia long # 3 green. They also work great for salmon in the...

Grew up in the suburbs of Toronto , Etobicoke . Fished everywhere along Lake Ontario including in it . Favourite areas down there were the Humber river - ice out steelhead - fall run salmon and summer time carp . The Credit river - before there was an Erindale Park and Streetsville areas. The...

Any size is a good fish GBD , those you caught all beauties , I love getting the smaller ones on because they fight soooo much harder . Looks like a great day out .
