END OF THREAD!!!!!

Ass

No pics from the Pembina in there Close though Athabow

Coalbranch ruuules. It was all new to me, but I still had some success on some small water. A lot of it was fishless (or seemed to be?). But some of those creeks are chock full of trout

Yeah, not interested in pellet fed pigs

You guys are making me crazy. Stoooop it OK don't.

Yah! That's what I wanted to hear!! Those are two high up on the list: splake and tigers. Thanks Lorney

If you got paid to fish, would you whine about where they sent you to do it?

Mmmmm lakers

IF I get stuck there, I care!!

If I have to go to a 20-22 I may not bother. I found a #18 in my desk and tried tying a spinner with it. Too small for my skillz. I figure it's a lost cause

What's out there for fishing? Broad brush approach. Think Prince Albert area. Trout? Pike? Eyes? Mostly rivers? Lakes? Let's hear it. Tako

Todd is definitely one of the best. I love reading his reports.

Sweet dude. Must be some perks to working in a flyshop You got more money in tungsten beads than I do fly tying materials

Just here.

Another vote for TXL. Sweet rod. 3wt is your best option, because you don't have to be afraid of taking on 3-4lb fish with it. Just in case

Oh burn. Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn I love you DJ but that was a burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn

Werd. Same here. Stay left! Stay left!

Creeks. I fell in love with the Pembina, Lovett, L Smoky, N Raven, Blackstone etc last summer. I need more AB small stuff!!! It's all lake fishing here. I'm a stream and river guy. Technical casting, tight lies, branches, small fish, big fish crammed in small holes. Looooove it. "Riser. Onethirty outside seam under the willers, takem" as my buddy says

Yeah, fish are in a depressed state in the winter. Whether it be Bullshead, the Bow, the North Sask or Dragon Lake. Fish are more susceptible to hooking mortality in the winter. The majority of icefishermen are your typical redneck joes. They have poor fish handling. Poor fish handling + weaker fish = more dead fish. Cheers

Your reply is exactly what will keep those forum members from posting their fishing location tomorrow And people wonder why we have gear fly bait jetboat icefishing debates. Tako out

As an aside, you may be looking at a later opener to avoid this situation. Our trophy lakes do not open until May 1. You might be looking at an April 15 opener next year to err on the caution side.

So what's the difference between using bait and treble barbs on open water vs icefishing. Same rule, different water state? LOL. No difference between dropping a fish on the ice or in the mud. I'd make the case that mud is worse for a fish than ice. You're talking about poachers, not legal icefishermen. Would I be down there tomorrow with a corkie and a leech and an auger? Damn right, and so will a lot on this board that don't have the balls to say it and take the heat.
