    Spring Fly Patterns

    Some of it is, but there are lots of rivers and lots of places to fish. I prefer to use driftboats, whitewater rafts or something like a kayak to cover water and not deal with trespassing. Lots of guys who don't know go tramping all over people land without permission, big no no in my books, we...

    Spring Fly Patterns

    I was talking Huron too, so many on some rivers. One time after dark there was an exposed limestone rock in the river that became completely covered in crayfish, like a 1000 on a rock 4 feet wide. $ish was twisted.

    Skunked on Opener? Vent here...

    Some Huron tribs were stacked, others slow. My opener was fun floating down a river till an oar lock broke going into a set of rapids. With a few km of white water ahead of us and no way to take the boat out or go back we had a hairy ride down trying to control a 16' boat with a couple paddles...

    Simcoe Lakers/Whities Migrational Pattern?

    Never heard of tagging, and I believe you would have to do it with assistance from the nmr legally. As far as migration, the fish definitely move and adapt. The fishery on simcoe has changed a lot just since I started fishing it some fifteen years ago. Back then we absolutely pounded whitefish...

    Heating stove with exhaust for ice fishing

    a carbon monoxide detector can actually be pretty useless in an ice hut situation because the amount that is lethal over say a ten hour time span will not set off most detectors. Enough to kill you in an hour will however set it off. Sounds like the OP might be looking to heat a sleeper hut not...

    Boat Costs

    Like frequentflyer said fuel is a big one. Also where and when you will be fishing, if this will be a boat for big water you will probably be looking into something that will need a full sized truck or suv to tow and launch. It will be heavy and probably a deep V in that case and take a lots of...

    Catching salmon on empty hook?

    I'm not saying dark salmon in creeks don't hit I'm saying the vast majority of anglers fishing are flossing or snagging. As far as huron salmon go they seem much different than lake O salmon, when we catch them within a few km of the lake they are often chrome fish, so much so it could have...

    Wish all Provinces Would Follow

    I have been hearing all year about how low water has been all the way up the west coast to Alaska. California has been in bad shape now for what like 3 years?

    Catching salmon on empty hook?

    If you put your mind to it you could possibly take a salmon on a dry here, maybe even on a lake ontario trib because of the concentration of fish and how close you could get it to them. Lake Huron fish might be a better bet but there are not nearly as many fish but the huron fish act much more...

    Catching salmon on empty hook?

    If you rig a hook like you would if fishing weedless but with a thick piece of mono you won't floss or foul hook any fish, but no one does that because then they wouldn't catch any fish in the creeks :razz:

    Rigging Help

    You could also vertically jig them, its effective with the right technique. Would be easy to mark your lure off a yak too.

    Aggrivating Fishing Expereince

    the mnr cares most about walleye as they are the most sought after fish in ontario. Trout and salmon fall behind. If you aren't getting checked by the CO's otherwise you don't really fish, fish the wrong spots or the very best spots ;-) I think I got check 7 times last year. Few times on the...

    Residents Advice

    The rivers you are fishing are garbage rezi rivers IMO. Sounds like you have the basics down maybe a location change. If you can't get into fish no reason to worry about dries really, plus lots of 5+ pound fish are taken on big chunks of boo nothing fancy I know guys who do well with chub tails...
