snakeman Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 4. fish Gar and Bass in Belleville ON, and Browns in the Elora Gorge this summer Same here, I wanted to hit the Bay of Quinte for gar last summer but didn't get around to it. They look like a blast. I did get to spend a lot of time on the Moira river near Belleville and found some great bass fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDone Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 One of each Alberta game fish on the fly, its gonna be a busy year for me. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogilvie Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 My goal for 2008 is to finally fish for Brown Trout on the Bow(the only serious trout species that has eluded me) and a Grayling...and of course surpass the 30 Lb Steelhead barrier ...

If you're in Belleville and want muskie you should consider making the 30 minute drive to Tweed to fish Stoco lake. There are some absolute beasts in there.

PlayDoh Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 can't wait to see the pics of the burbot and sturgeon you pull out... I was thinking the same thing 'Burbot', although late fall you might actually stand a chance. I don't even like looking at them, nasty lizard mutant fish. Their our Snake-fish. My FF'n resolution is to devote more time to fill the other 1/2 of my brain with trout hunting skills. I've learned so much in the whole 2 months I've had FF'ing, that when I get to the water it all becomes too much for now. I think I've learned most of the 'hard way' lessons (1 month/$60 flies). Not that when I get to the water now I'm completely prepared but I'm getting there. I think preparedness is the most important thing I've become aware of. The difference between a good time and a frustration is always obstacles, but when your wading, or adrift you need everything on hand, and a few items tethered and close by. I think the next item in a "complete FF'ing combo" has to be a vest, pre-rigged with the essentials. Compared to spin cast fishing, its night and day regarding tackle, which is what I think I've gotten straight finally. I'm looking forward to my first Spring and Summer FF'ing, and meeting some of the most helpful, and friendly people you could meet. I'm becoming used to it somewhat now, but I still remember being amazed at the level of generosity found at this and a couple other FF'ing forums. I believe to some degree that most FF'ers have more in common then by chance. I'm sure its attributed to the sportsmanship, patience ( ), and love of nature that FF'ers share. Although I'm still guilty of needing more patience at times. Thank you all again for the tremendous help I've gotten from so many members I've lost track. I hope your kindness is returned to you and your families. HAPPY NEW YEAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayDoh Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 One of each Alberta game fish on the fly, its gonna be a busy year for me. Colin That is an awesome goal IMO. You don't need to spend your life's savings doing it, but you'll need a basket full of time and skill. Best of luck, truly. If I may, I'd suggest making a detailed journal of it, even if you don't want to share it with the world. Heck, I'll join you, we'll buy a VW camper and fill it with who ever is crazy enough to come, and make the "Alberta trout bum diaries" I can see the film trailer now..... 17 fish................................12 months.........................1 man/woman Brown Trout Rainbow Trout Cutthroat Trout Brook Trout Lake Trout Bull Trout Golden Trout Mountain Whitefish Lake Whitefish Arctic Grayling Walleye Sauger Yellow Perch Northern Pike Goldeye Burbot Lake Sturgeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailhead Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I have only one resolution, I want to go flyfishing less by my lonesome. I had too many hair raising experiences while out tramping around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthwader Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I have two resolutions. 1. Get that pontoon boat that I received from my wife 15 months ago into the water for the first time....(how sad is that??) 2. Spend an extra 2 minutes watching the water when I come across a pool of rising fish instead of just marching in and chucking. Man this will be a tough one... Best wishes in 2008!

birchy Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Get myself some breathables so I don't sweat my arse off in 20-30 degree heat anymore... Get a pontoon so I can start doing some floats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Golden trout all the way! I'll be doing a certain hike-in as soon as it's open. Then I have a two week vacation on Vancouver Island this October, so once I find out what's running where, I'll say either salmon or steelies.

LOL Trailhead. i'll be south. come fish with me. Birchy - take your pants off. you dont need waders if it is 20 - 30 degrees. that's what shorts and water socks are for.
