Docks are in at Crystal Beach as of this morning!

Have fun Dave!!

Ive been fly fishing and tying for many years and am looking for like minded people! I fish bass, trout ,crappies pike and muskie!. I fish the Welland river,Grand River,Niagara river as well as many other spots! No fun in doing it alone! Lets hear from like minded folks who like an adventure! Cheers!

The annual trip up to his trailer at Jack lake in september is a given!  The lake is awsome,bass, huge crappies, and my goal this yr. MUSKIE on my 8 wt. fly rod!  Beauty spot!

For those with an i pilot with remote only who miss their  pedal. I came up with this for my buddy who fishes bass mostly up at Jack Lake  and loves i pilot features but hates trying to use the remote when fighting a fish, or manouvering around tight spots! Very simple and works like a charm! Built from things i had laying around! 

Thanx for the responses! Good news! I couldnt leave it alone so i tore it apart ,got the meter out  and checked every thing! All good! Cut the clamps off ,checked continuity and Bingo! Positive wire had a break close to the end! Trimmed till i found it and remounted the clamps! Works better than ever! Now for some decent weather! Cheers!

 Thanx Verado! 

Verado, which model do you have? Thanx

Im in need of a new charger for my tm and starting batteries! My 15 yr. old Shumacher finaly died! Any recomendations. Cheaper but reliable would be good! Thanx!

Was out perchin  out from Bertie with a buddy yesterday and had a weird thing happen with my i pilot! When we found the school and i spot locked on top of them,the motor head would just keep turning in a circle till the cord was tight then shut off! Changed battery as i thought that had to cause it! Nope! After drifting a bit and losing the school we tried every thing to get the thing to work! Finally buddy says, ill unplug it and and reinsert the plug! Nope! Same thing! Then i said ,make sure to turn it to the right to lock it in! Bingo! Worked! Stange that every function exept spot lock worked fine with the plug improperly inserted! So just a heads up if you have a Marinco plug on ur unit! Oh, we ended up with 26 perch ! Slow day! We did a lot better than most yesterday!

Planning on a day or two fly fishing the upper Grand. Never been and am clueless! All suggestions greatly appreciated! Thanx

Bill, i use 10 wraps on the alberto! Also,scrape the coating off the braid pulling between thumbnail and fingernail! Alberto does this!

This is 6lb.fieline to6 lb. Mono!

 Just be careful pulling it tight! Braid cuts like a knife!

Bill, i use the Alberto knot. Very strong,and small!

Wondering about parking at apps mill conservation area.  Any info appreciated. Thanx

Gotcha! Thanx!

Chubs!!@ We dont need no stinkin chubs! Lol! I thought it would be not bad because it was closed due to Covid? Any recomended spots on the upper Grand? Thanx!

Anyone been fishing Whitemans lately, if its open? Been tying flies all winter and id love to spend a day there! Catching or just checking it out!

Hi all,

I know it's the wrong time of year, but before you know it spring will be here! Anybody in this area forage for wild mushrooms? I have been learning about them and have had limited success! Would like to get together with like minded people in the niagara area and learn a few things! I have found lots of puffballs, morels and oyster mushrooms in the area and want more!(YUMMY!) anybody interested!

Plenty of wild leeks in the area but very few fiddleheads! Hopefully we'll all get together in the spring and plan some outings!

Yum Yum!
