It's been one hell of a long winter around here and it's not over. Right now some of the ice on the Yellowstone river and other rivers in the area are breaking up which is great in one way but is starting to cause a lot of flooding. It’s going to be awhile before I can get to the waterways around here to swing some fly line.

Tried my luck at the local lake this morning for a little bit, not a single bite on any of the artificials I was using, things just haven't heated up enough yet... every sumbitch with something that floated was out on the water and they weren't having any luck either.
Of atleast 40 different boats I watched, only one guy pulled in a very small bass, everythings still shaking off the chill. Hows it going for the rest of you cabin fever sufferers? |

If you guys/gals ever get to go to Canada fishing, I would seriously consider a fly in out post northern Ontario. Cost about $1600/1800 per head for 7+ days that includes gas from KC and back and all the food and drink you can fly in to your private cabin and Lakes all to yourself. 20 LB + Pike caught 2010

I've rented a houseboat and fished Lake of the Woods from the Canada end... rental out of Kenora, Ontario. I wanna say it was 1800 for the boat for a week and it holds up to 6 people. Tow your boats behind as you travel and set up for the night. Good times. Great walleye fishing.

Gah that's one beautiful dinosaur you're holding redshirt... is that something you'd eat or let go?
I'm guessing a solid muscle fish like that would be something close to freshwater halibut... thick chunks of flakey white flesh and very little fat... I'm thinking fried and eaten, whats the protocol up there? |

A lot of people pickle pike. They also steam with lemon/butter/pepper or fry them Cajun style. Perhaps redshirt can give you more than me. I prefer Walleye but there are many that like Pike over walleye. |

Sounds like a fish I'd love to catch but would let go unless in an emergency, because of the difficulty in eating... but if I had to, yeah, I could pick those steamed bones clean. |

I love Canada fishing you can throw a plain silver/ gold hook in the water and I bet you could catch a fish. I had a Mepps white bucktail just hanging over the boat on a extra rod and one of the small pike jumped out of the water to try to eat it. While catching Walley sometimes the big pike will try to eat it before you get to the boat, it's just crazy fishing in protected waters of Canada nothing better

We let all pike go and the big Walley go, the small Walley filet up good and you can catch your supper on the way back to the cabin before dark. Anyone that destroys a pig Pike or Muskie should be used as bait, you get a nice pic and release it, the taxidermist can make a replica for your wall. Little pike are good eating but why bother if you have a stringer of walley to fillet and cook every night.

The guides will cook you a shore lunch, fried pike, fried taters and of course beans. Nice but I can cook better than the shit they serve and pay less for my trip. We buy all are food and drink load it and gear in plane take off on water and land on water. We buy Steak/ to eat with are Walley and salad, always taters and some beans, Beer and Makers Mark/ Crown Royal, if your gona do it do it right eat and fish like a king. We always cook more food than we can eat... propane stove/freez/hotwater heater/fridge, but solar power 5 volts light, no air no fan, one emg sat phone. And the best a shithouse to dump in. Booked an outpost and never looked back, you gota have your shit together its hard work fishing all day, the good ones have only one cabin on the main lake, there is no one else fishing there. Then there are portage lakes that you can walk to and they have a boat and gas for you there. If your lucky the last person pulled the plug and dragged the boat up on skids so it would drain. That's were you find the fish I caught and bigger Walley do a little work walk where most wont. People are to lazy/scared/old /disabled to pack all that gear and walk on trails that may have a flag here and there to lead the way, when its to easy to stay on the main lake and catch fish like you've never caught before GPS is a must everything looks the same easy to get lost.
