My Self Reliance

I'll be there on opener. Only have and only ever used floating line. Most likely I will be using the spinning setup most of the day. However, Ill be bringing the fly rod for the creeks and streams between lakes, as well as with the shorelines at night. Best of luck!

That's what I was planning as well. I usually troll a floating Rapala while paddling so that it doesn't hang up when I stop paddling. Maybe next trip I'll try fly rod only using GBA's method.

I'm no expert, but from what I have heard 2 of the flies that keep coming up is the simple wooly bugger and the mickey finn. Any attractor fly should work as well. What lakes are you going to be fishing? I will be there at the same time.

I've been loading up on both of those, as well as some others. 40 lakes, 8 days. Magnetawan to Catfish.

Like I said, I'm new here but I can see there's some jokers.

Wicked cool and impressive trip resume on your youtube channel - getting me warm for ice out
 
By the way you face looks incredibly familiar... perhaps from AA ( Algonquin Adventures )?

Me too. Winter took so long to get here that I'm skipping hard water and preparing for ice out early.

Haha, yep.
