I'm pretty confident that I just caught the exact same fish two weeks apart.
I guess that's a first for me.

Please explain the rationale of no alcohol allowed on the water? Why not allow a designated driver?
I am going on fishing trip about 4 hours north of Toronto. I was told the rules have changed and no alcohol is allowed on the boat. What caused this change?

Very confused with slot limit for walleye in zone 17 at Rosedale River east of the dam/ East of Balsam west of Cameron
Extremely confusing text for me to comprehend lol one side is 35-50cm slot, other side is less than 37 or greater than 55cm. Can someone please clarify for me? East of the dam on rosedale river (close to the dropped pin)

First Cast of 2026 - Zone 18
My wife and I got to our Airbnb, I casted in about 3 feet of water and thought I got snagged, couldn't believe that I reeled my first pike in. Its our second season fishing and we were stoked!

Zone 16 pike opening weekend
Weather this spring has been brutal. Opening weekend for pike was no different. Cool, grey and wind was super annoying. Was confined to a small bay to shelter from the wind.
5 minutes into it I got this beauty, which is a very good size for this area. Got two dinks within the next 20 minutes and things switched off for the next two hours. This gator made the otherwise annoying outing worth it. Fought like a beast. Going under the boat twice.

Pike Opener
Was tough fishing for Opener but managed to get the jerk bait in front of one hammer handle. Great day on the water

Tips for early season Lakers on Cedar Lake (Brent)?
My dad is great at many things, and trolling for lakers in our little 16 foot boat with no flasher and catching nothing is one of those things. I’m not quite as patient as he is (1 fish in 3-5 hours is tough when it’s 10° and windy), so I’m coming here hoping some of you might have some sage advice on techniques that work for you. Not looking for your honey hole (or honey path?), just general guidance to either affirm that we’re doing all we can, or to change our methods. Right now it’s using spoons and raps that go ~20-30’ down, trolling behind us, on the edges where it goes from 60 up to 30 feet or so, back and forth over that kind of line.
Super appreciate any advice, I’m still waiting for my first laker with wind-shorn hands after several may long weekends trying to make it happen.

Brook trout
My first ever brook trout. I had lots hit the Mepps 2. Do I guess I need to go smaller 1 or 0.

Beautiful Algonquin Brookie
This is from last year May Long that I've yet to show off. Didn't land anything in season on our first trip out last weekend unfortunately but I've seen others had better luck!
