He’s home safe. Thanks everyone

One for the in-laws!!!

I was up River last week casting from shore. I caught the biggest king Iv’e ever seen.

Feel like I just had a stroke. Am I alone?

I’ve never had it happen before but my jawjacker landed 2 fish on its own this weekend!! Was set so shallow I heard bells and came running and there was brook trout flopping on the ice… happened 2 times!

DONT DO DRUGS MORON

Not true. Mercury is natural in the environment and may be released from forestry. In this case the mine is not even in the same watershed. Has nothing to do with the mine at all.

There’s still multiple places to access the lake if needed… place is a drama fest you’ll never catch me out there

Adrian is not plowed. lots of ice. got the truck in but definitely needed 4 wheel drive

Not a lot but they are there. Cold wet night. lol

Im no expert either but it looks like dinner to me

Well day 2 I managed a walleye and a rainbow trout. I was told that rainbows were pretty uncommon in the lower Nipigon. Saw some other boats catch salmon. Today I hooked into something that took 300' of line. I tried to reel it in when it tired but it shook the hook. Unfortunately that's the end of my attempt at the Nipigon. Had the right idea towards the end but it was a humbling experience.

Just some friendly encouragement to throw a line where you least expect to catch... I've been fishing wherever I can close to my workplace and my daughters daycare. I walked along the shore near the disc golf course on my lunch break and after 20 or 30 minutes of casting managed to catch a beautiful 19" walleye just a few days ago. I hadn't given that lake much of a shot since I figured the relatively recent draining of it would have negatively impacted fish populations.

mercury is natural forming in most lakes.

Monday night (May 15) my son and I tried our luck once again after a few sparse nights over the last couple weeks. We headed out around 1 am. McVicar was quiet, no smelts and noone attempting to catch them. Stopped at the south side of the Current River mouth, a few people dipping and we got a small amount - enough to cover a pail bottom for 30 minutes work. Headed out to McKenzie - got there around 3 am - and were fortunate to find the smelt run in full swing - we along with a few others were able to fill each pail in a half hour - every dip of the net brought in fish. Our best dips had 20 - 40 smelt landed. Still surprised to be catching smelt this late on the calendar - and it was warm last night - around 20C with a warm breeze. Guessing they will still run for a few days, was a strong run last night.

Hammered my personal best on oliver after work tonight

I’m getting the boat out!

This winter makes me wish I didn't sell my quad lol

..I fished like an idiot for YEARS until I learned that brook trout inhabit water six feet or less during the Winter...

Stay safe this ice fishing season.

Hazelwood 4-5” solid black ice

Depends what you are looking for/or if you looking for hook setting capabilities or not… for walleyes/perch/stocked trout I religiously I allways have a second line out with the black fox triggers and/or then the jaw jackers to a lesser extent just because way they set annoys me a bit having to have a loop on the end of the rod but for big baits and lake trout I use the frabill insulated tip ups with suckers on them but it does suck you don’t get a rod… I’m asking Santa for the finicky foolers with hole cover as I’ve seen them out a few times and it’s a tip up that allows you to use the rod… very similar to the ifishpro but I find them too cumbersome to pack around and expensive.

One of my go to spots close to where I live. Early morning specs. 3 inches of ice and two feet of water.

Got some in the smoker today

I love happy endings. Haley and Oakley are very happy the dog is back home.

Mother in law gets the first fillet

correct!

The river mouth of the salmon snag fest … oh wait I mean current river. Where there’s dozens of people filling stringers of just disgusting rotten zombies all snagged in the back.

Good to see someone teaching the younger ones. Kind of makes you think where these people come from, what kind of home life they had that makes them want to ruin others property. I guess all you have to do is watch the news to see how screwed up the world has become.

The litter just kills me. I don’t get it

The ol man with an 18lb from today

Salmon are in there year round, myself I would say best bet would be last week or two of august or first week or two of September! Busy place that time of year

Just pay attention to the forecast and conditions while you are on the water. When the horizon looks like conga line of elephants its time to head for shore. The old Tbay Harbor Master used to say "you can go any where you want on Superior, as long as your off the water by 9:30AM. After that, mother nature takes no prisoners " Good luck! AB

There is no catch-and-release restriction on Boulevard Lake.

..eventually you'll need to graduate from a course at Confederation College to be able to interpret the legislation. I wish they'd post the regulations for each waterbody as a separate entity...

took my buddy 20 mins to get these

I've only been on this forum for a couple weeks, but I've learned pretty quickly. A really good fishing spot is Nunya Creek.

Gonna check at vicars tonight I`ll post if any luck.There will be no B.S. like some azzholes on here!!
