kbrest 151 Report post Posted April 1 Its starting to be on pace for a very low water season if we do not get any good rain. Even after a fast melt with the snow. We had a very low water season, I think 2010 or 2011? Where fish came in and you could literally see every single fish. The spots where its usually deepest were crossable with rubber boots. Did this stop people from tossing hooks across the schools? No. Was a snagfest and sad. Its shitty when it happens but when that water is trickle low its best to just let them be. No sport to it at that point. Gotta have those high chocolate milk water early to flush out the rivers, then the slow drop and the fishings good. Heres to hoping. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well yea I mean, kinda obvious, we live in thunderbay, and our COs aren’t the greatest lol when did anyone get a ticket doing that to salmon? Maybe you spoke out to those ppl hopefully lol and told them it’s wrong, but regardless like I said it’s Thunder Bay lol.. let’s say we actually get some needed rains, I don’t think most people are gonna be fishing their usual spots this year either, tons of pools through out the kam river.

I wouldn’t agree with you to say the co’s aren’t the greatest that’s just not fair to say, I think many of them are doing a great job but there’s only a few of them and we have a whole lot of land to cover so they obviously can’t be everywhere all at once but that being said Many many people received tickets for snagging salmon in the fall… they are allways watching 👀. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobber Down 921 Report post Posted 15 hours ago Saw 3 caught in about 5 minutes walking the trail along McVicar's yesterday between Cumberland and Court. The run is in full on spawn mode there. Quote Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - WOW - what a ride!!!
