Happy birthday ALN!! welcome to the club, and enjoy the addiction :)

as CJR said, beads. or if you really prefer to shank them right on the hook, Hook Line & Sinker in Guelph (maybe other places too?) sells Bio D'eggs. you put the little pellets in water until they grow to their full size. salt them, let them sit in salt until they shrink to desired size...

deano! what's the specs on that quantum? never heard of em

how would he benefit from Simms? Sounds like he needs the Korkers with swappable soles!! LOL jk OP studs will do the trick. 'creepers' would work too, although i find the studs on them are usually pretty tiny and not all that useful.

i just bought a frogtoggs wading jacket from bass pro a couple of weeks ago for $49.99. it's the first wading jacket i ever bought. it's made of an odd material, but what i like about it is it is light, so i can wade in it on rainy spring days and not die from sweating, or i can layer up...

great tips! and a great idea for a thread, no doubt about it. i always maintained the position that with float fishing, line on the water was to be avoided. maybe it's just where i fish, but i see guys float fishing where their line is floating on the surface a mere 10 feet from their rod tip...

just remember when looking at line ratings, some times the truth is in the diameter of the line and not whatever bogus rating the company affixes to it. for example, the maxima may be the same rating as the drennan, but the drennan is a thicker line. you get the idea

drennan's good, i run 5.5 for steelies in regular water, and sometimes will go down to 4.5 raven for clear streams. the raven is also good IMO. the drennan is my go-to though.

There were 15 cars parked at my usual GB haunt. walked in, told the girlfriend "count the guys at this first pool" 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6...you get the idea. next pool about 45 second walk down the path, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11... 15 minutes of bushwhacking and not a soul for as far as the eye can see. and...

fishermen are a funny bunch

in very clear streams i've had luck with 6mm beads. they imitate single trout eggs very nicely. especially useful in the spring

In this scenario I do one of two things. Using the mono for a shot line lets me slide the shot around pretty easily without damaging the line too much just make sure you don’t pinch it on too tight. I also have a special plier tool which I purchased from CPC that makes it easy to remove...

i stumbled across this method last year when i had first started fishing with beads. only difference is i put the bead a little further up my leader. i've had good luck on this kind of rig and im a firm believer in using the bead as an "attractor" and typically will use it for a good number of...

lol you got it :) handiest invention ever, you can buy em for like $6 in the walmart fishing aisle, for some reason could never find em at CT up this way.

Well this is what my setup looks like Mainline -> float (on mainline) -> 1gr. shot to cock the float -> micro swivel -> 2.5ft – 3ft shot line (usually 8lb trilene moss green) -> micro swivel -> 24 – 30” fluoro leader To minimize down time in the event I break off my shot line, I always...

well i haven't spent much time on the forum, have been frequenting more often lately, and figure it would probably be cool to get out and meet some of you guys. i've done similar things on other forums and it's always a blast. i'm in barrie, if anyone needs a ride on the way let me know as...

there are also year round opportunities on some tributaries. check the extended seasons for your zone in the regulations guide and have fun!

nice job man, still trying to get my first big fish on a fly rod. just started swinging this year. what kind of leader were you running on that if you dont mind my asking? great to hear of them busting up some poachers too!

great shots guys... very impressive
