#343586 NF advice

Posted by fenwickfisher on 13 May 2018 - 05:12 PM in General Fishing Discussion

The regulations are very strict...depends on what you are after most often than not if you dont have a direct relative with you, you must hire a licensed guide or fish within 800 meters of a provincial highway...


Also if your after salmon you basically get 6 tags with different colours and only certain coloured tags can be used on certain rivers and to retain a certain amount of fish from the river....very confusing regulations

The last few years the rivers have been very low and the salmon numbers are way down. I was going to go down there this year to vist my dad but i think im going to wait until next summer instead.



#343478 Good nymph rigs for this time of year

Posted by fenwickfisher on 20 April 2018 - 03:49 AM in General Fishing Discussion

Large black stonefly about 5-6ft under an indicator with either an egg pattern or san juan off the bend of the first fly and a single bb sized split shot about 10-12" above the stonefly...change depth/weight as required



#342823 Buying A Boat - How Effective

Posted by fenwickfisher on 12 December 2017 - 04:54 AM in General Fishing Discussion

I spent most of my time fishing from a canoe this year and i can honestly say im ready for an upgrade....5+ hours in a canoe can take its toll on the body...not to mention if you dont have a trolling motor and a drift sock on your canoe you can count out most days to fish as most lakes will be too rough

#342087 Western Trib report - best day for me so far!

Posted by fenwickfisher on 25 September 2017 - 10:19 AM in Ontario Fishing Reports

Cant expect everybody to be a "conservationist" it was good on him that he went out and did the leg work and not sit behind a computer and ask questions.... I agree it may not be the most ideal conditions for targeting trout but i give him credit for at least putting in an effort as he can learn about conservation in the future if he chooses to do so

Good on you! Way to go man. Those little guys can be a lot of fun on lighter gear.



#341924 Clarification for these zone 17 fishing season dates?

Posted by fenwickfisher on 15 September 2017 - 08:39 PM in General Fishing Discussion

2 more weeks to fish north of the tracks...from october 1st to december 31 you can fish from the lake all the way up to hwy 2...after december 31 you can only fish south of the tracks until opener(4th sat in april) hope this makes sense



#341736 Swinging for salmon

Posted by fenwickfisher on 08 September 2017 - 01:07 PM in Fly Fishing

Actually it was pretty murky.....you can see the "v" in the surface as they chase down the fly it gets me every time



#341729 Swinging for salmon

Posted by fenwickfisher on 08 September 2017 - 03:51 AM in Fly Fishing

Havent landed any yet this year but have had several takes on blue and black intruders....yesterday morning i tried swinging with no luck but hooked a monster on a pheasant tail nymph....watched it swim from 10ft away to smash my fly



#341596 What can I tie with these?

Posted by fenwickfisher on 31 August 2017 - 09:15 PM in Fly Tying

Egg patterns, intruders and woolly buggers....for egg patterns i like sizes from 8-12, 1/0 salmon hook shank for intruders(can go smaller or larger all depends on taste), and just about any size woolly buggers but i like a size 6 streamer hook about 4xl

#341565 What can I tie with these?

Posted by fenwickfisher on 30 August 2017 - 12:45 AM in Fly Tying

Many atlantic salmon patterns call for moose as a wing as well as black bear....i like to use moose mane for bodys on mosquito patterns as it makes a pretty realistic body and has some floating properties too



#341538 What can I tie with these?

Posted by fenwickfisher on 28 August 2017 - 10:35 AM in Fly Tying

Polar/grizzly bear and arctic fox are great options for wings and collars on streamer patterns...i have a patch of beaver im still struggling to find a use for other than dubbing

I used a size 12 nymph hook for the back hook with the eye straightened. Used a piece of braided line for the connection to a size 12 scud hook
