Hey guys just thought i'd ask for opinions on chartered fly in fishing trips into northern ablerta. My brother and I are thinking of doing it this season. I'm looking for feed back from people who have done this sort of thing. Advice on what to look for in a charter or lodge, timing, costs and such would be greatly appreciated. Species targeting would be lakers, pike, walleye and grayling. Budgets are an issue for us so we are trying to find the best bang for our buck so to speak. any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Thanks guys for the advice and tips. MissinTheBow - helps to understand the process, thanks. Many more things to think about and try. Good stuff. Don - you are probably right about the size many small ones stocked I believe this year Bill

Another question for the board. I am relitively new to still water fishing and have been experimenting with chironomid fishing. One of the proplems i have is the hook set. Once I get the right depth with the fly and start getting hits, I am unable to actually hook the fish. I have tried setting with the slightest twitch of the strike indicator. No luck I have tried setting when the indicator goes fully under. No luck I have even tried to wait that extra second or two. Still with no luck It's not like i'm not getting any into the net but it seems that I'm missing way more than I should be. Again any advice would be greatly appreciated. Bill

Thanks for the response guys. The one thing I was'nt doing (and it makes sense now that you pointed it out Bob) was after initially inflating, to put it in the water to cool it off and then re-inflate it. I would just get on and go ( to eager i guess). Bill

Hey all, just wondering how you tell if you have under ( i know, obviously if it sinks ) or over inflatted a pontoon boat? Is there a gauge that you can hook up to check or do you just go by feel. With the changing temperatures throughout the day the pontoons seem to sag and expand. Any advice would be appreciated. Bill
