Get over it, most people wo grew up around Thunder Bay call walleye pickeral. If you called it walleye people thought you were an American.

Sure most people who grew up around thunderbay as I did aswell say that… but they are still wrong, just because they say it doesn’t make them right for saying it wrong for 50 years… look up in the regulations how many pickerel you can keep… 0 , Walleye is walleye there isn’t even an argument to be had. You are free to say and do as you wish I just have to correct it everytime I see or hear it.

Wow! actually it’s a very well run derby and organizers work hard to do so. Some of the best anglers in the area attend it. And respect the lake and the fish. It’s nice to have events like this in our area it’s uninformed people like you that make them seem bad and that it’s just a “drunk fest”. Very wrong about that.

Other seasons I can’t seem to locate in the regs: walter, Waldo, king salmon, steelhead, coaster, swamp donkey, eel pout, laker, brookie, looper, musky, gator, snake, hammer handle, smallie. Most things go by many names but the only “correct” name is sander vitreus

Looking forward to catching pickerel when pickerel season opens. Pickerel sure do taste good. Usually catch my weight in pickerel every 20 minutes. Pickerel pickerel pickerel pickerel

Yep same weekend 🎣🎣😊

Our crew went to the MacKenzie River last night and dipped our nets for 2 hours between 10:30 and 12:30 or so. Total of about 4 dozen smelts was disappointing. Really slow - more of an ambling walk than a smelt run. 🙂 On our way back into town we swung by the Current River for a look see. We had seen pics on Facebook of full buckets taken from there last weekend. We were in luck last night as the run was still on! People were coming and going pretty quickly. In about 20 minutes we half filled our 5-gallon pail and the "just one more scoop" vs "you have to clean those you know" discussion was on. If you are thinking of going, the time is now. Cheers.

Walleye season is currently closed…

More dandelions needed. I say by Friday 😎 they’ll start to sprint.

…..siscowet, red fins, grey trout, togue, bottom feeder, hauki, square tails, chinnys, mud hen trout, partridge, spruce hen…..

...lawyers, bugle-nose bass, greaseballs...

More then likely bass fishing and yes walleye is currently closed… pickeral isn’t a fish we have here!

Reminds me… I gotta get a new steelhead rod this year after using it as a sword on a tree😊
