The reason for the spraying left and right is that the spool isnt spinning fast enough for the velocity of the weight..
I would suggest backing off the brakes and the tension until you start to backlash. you will be happier with the result if you learn to properly use the reel versus relying on the reel to do the work

14-17lb mono will be the most cost effective to learn on. I would buy Sufix pro select at canadian tire... 1720yards for 9$, to be completely honest I still fish it all the time I just find I need to change it more often

Largemouth definitely don't need vegetation to support themselves, look at the impoundments of middle america that always seem to produce incredible fishing.
That being said I have seen ponds like this support a largemouth population, are there baitfish of any sort? How choked out does it get in the summer (Looks like hell now)? It's definitely not as easy as just introducing them to the pond

Have always found this rule kind of funny, it is very much a case to case scenario. Some CO's are fine with it while others (this year especially) seem to be cracking down on it.
Im personally fine with guys standing on seasonal borders and casting up (Obviously a dam would be a different scenario). Im also of the mindset that the river should be open all year to catch and release, but thats an argument for another day.

A good rule of thumb is depth in feet = distance in meters. At least thats what we have always used without any major issues

80 degrees is a bit extreme. Rivers or creeks in the middle of summer months I don’t think so. Shallow lakes and ponds possible.
"could be over 80*"

Steelhead are an amazing species. Several different strains are fall/winter spawners. Hatchery breeding may have something to do with fish that are spawning in fall/winter but it is more likely the hatchery is using a strain of steelhead that was a fall/winter spawner. Bc has several strains of fall/winter spawning fish. Steelhead have been adapting to our rivers over time and several differences exist between fish running rivers based on what they face in each individual river. A good example is the Credit having such an extreme gradient over the length of the river the fish that are natural production in the river are longer and leaner than East Ditch creeks. They were at one point all from the same strain but signifacnt advantages over time from individuals in each population have differentiated the populations in ways which suit the river they run. Not all Steelhead even return to the river they originate from. A small portion of the population of each river roam to run a different river. In this way they can spread to new rivers. Truly a diverse and amazing fish.
Couldnt have said it better... I will also add that the bulk of spawning activity happens with water temperature from around 40*F-58*F, and independant studies have shown the colder the water the higher chance of success. But then you look at the skamania strain of steelhead which enter creeks in the middle of summer when water temps could be over 80*... I doubt we will ever fully understand them.

Hey IRJ4,
He said he was looking for Lakers or Pike, or Perch. Not walleye.
Hello fishheads, It was a friendly suggestion for a fun time out with friends. Not that you would know the feeling

Good conversation here for nippissing.... If walleye are your thing Id look at Quinte, I would say bang for your buck that'd be the spot Id go.
Nonstop action youd probably want to do a muskoka/haliburton laker lake.
Just a couple thoughts
