I was referring to MJL from OFC/FF.NET. That's his link and those are his pictures. I put it up as an example that fish don't need to be shake n baked in mud or sand to get a good picture.

I don't think he's on this forum, but the fishing pics he posts on a couple other boards are spectacular. All done with the fish's welfare in-mind. www.mjleung.com

Modulus is really only a measurement of stiffness. With that said, when it comes to fishing rods, you can achieve stiffness in a few different ways. 1. Use a higher modulus material that is naturally stiffer – Comparatively, IM8 graphite should be stiffer than IM6 graphite given that equal...

Atlantics get stocked annually in a number of Lake O tributaries

When it comes to the fighting qualities of rainbows, a lot of people forget that water temperature plays a huge role in what you experience at the end of the line (regardless of strain or sex). Hit a fish when it’s warmer out in October and you’ll usually have your hands full. Hook the same...

Awesome report FrozenFire! Looks like some very familiar water on the "river of mist" in the north part of the province for the other report ;-) If you're in the Vancouver area, you've got the Vedder, Capilano and Squamish to try with some fairly easy access the the rivers.

Exactly! Aside from the Angling Specialties Anti-Reverse model, the “drag” on every other model of float reel out there (ie. Angling Specialties regular drag, Okuma Sirata, Clough, River Run) is nothing more than an adjustable clicker. You can turn it off and leave it in free-spool mode...

I am almost certain it’s an Osprey centrepin reel. They’re often found on ebay from Russia, Ukraine, Poland, etc from $20-$40. I bought one for around $15 more than 10yrs ago when a friend was selling it. I was pretty much going to use it to decorate my office with. I used it once for...

2 laws in Ontario allow anglers the right to fish without disturbance from anyone else. 1. The Fishing and Hunting Heritage act, 2002 2. The fish and wildlife conservation act, 1997 Provided that you are within the accordance of the law while you participate in the act of fishing, no one can...

Migratory browns and rainbows can be caught with hardware. A great deal of my steelhead fishing is using spinners early and late in the season as well as kwikfish, tadpollies, hotshots, etc throughout the season (even under the float). Some of the best anglers I know only use hardware to catch...

When salmon are on their redds or very close to their redds in the headwaters, they are far more territorial and aggressive than when they are in the middle stretches of the river. Really doesn't matter what you throw at them...I've seen salmon charging various bits of garbage that's floating...

I'm pretty sure most people stopped respecting you when you were so adamant about fishing redds. No respect for our resources = no respect from other anglers. Again, if all you really want to do is catch fishing without regard for ethics or respect to the fish or the natural resources we're...

Only should take a few minutes depending on how hard you want the eggs with fresh eggs...Personally speaking, I've never had to harden cured roe (At least not over 20+yrs of steelheading). I'd just think they'd milk out if you tried.

Once you harvest the eggs from the fish, rinse the eggs out in cold water to remove dirt, blood other stuff you don't want (cold stream water is usually the most practical). When eggs contact cold water, the outer membrane toughens up. The longer you leave the eggs in the stream, the tougher...

I’m assuming you are using loose roe. Are you stream hardening your eggs? Are you trying to tie them up after thawing them from the freezer? Generally speaking, if you don’t stream harden your eggs, no matter what you do to try to cure the eggs, you will always end up with soft roe that...

You’re right that I said the majority of my points long ago. However I will continue to support my arguments if I have to, to protect the resources I love most. In essence, his ‘style’ of fishing (more like a cheap tactic) ruins the future of fishing for just about every other angler...

Why wait 20yrs?…Why not change now all by yourself? As L2P mentioned, you’ll be classified as an 'adult' very soon. You can be criminally charged under the ‘adult’ court of law when you screw up, you will be allowed privileges not granted to people of younger ages once you hit 18 or 19...

If you don't like pulling fish off redds...DON'T...Simple as that. Leave your ego out of the equation when you decide to fish. Fishing is fishing and catching is catching…Sometimes you don’t catch when you go fishing – That’s a universal truth. If all you’re thinking of when lining...

And that’s why you need to mature a little more before spewing BS on public forums…But then again, that’s just my opinion. I’d hate to think that all the fish you’ve landed this fall were flossed/lined because ‘it’s legal’ Something can be legal yet still be morally wrong or...

It's unfortunate that today's youth is far less conservation minded and far less respectful to the resources we are blessed with. I'm just Hoping the resources we have today will continue on for future generations.
