I've got my first trip planned in two weeks , and just checked out tight lines in pickering, as well as a couple of canadian tires. It seems like there's not reasonable rod & reels left.
Has anyone seen a decent setup lately? I'm out in bowmanville but from here to Toronto is fair game.
I've seen a lot of discussion around this, there was a few letters to the editor in the most recent OOoD's critical of the sloppy fish handling of the TV fishing show personalities. I've seen this on other boards as well so:
What is the proper way to handle fish? I can't say I know for sure and being catch and release 99.9% of the time I'm interested in ensuring my catch has the best chance of survival with minimal strain.
