Ah Morrels for a pic, very cool.
Love the damn things can eat by the plate full.
You from the Midwest?
Yep, IL. I found more than I ever have this spring. It was crazy. I will surely have plenty to share again next spring. Havenāt found any fall mushrooms yet, I like those as much or more than morels. Iām typing this from a deer stand w my bow, looking for deer and scoping stumps for mushrooms at the same time!

Cold day today has me thinking about ice. I Just booked myself in for some ice fishing. Anyone else planning on hitting the hard water this winter?

We do a trip every february. First few yrs we went to lake simcoe. Ice wasnt good enough to go for lakers n whities (stayed in a bungalow overnight) Did really well for perch the first yr then th e next couple were kinda crap.
Last yr we went to Nippissing. Fishing was crap, cpl ciscoes and dink walleye.
If we get good ive at Long Point bay on Erie we plan to do cottage and day huts or bring our own hut.
Bay of Quinte would be amazing too but the ice is so unpredictable.
Where did you book @Mongobongo?

Ya Simcoe can be hit or miss. Iāve had my best days on that lake though. My son when he was 7 landed a 5 lb Whitey there. That pic above was on Simcoe.
This year Iāve booked on nippissing but the hut operator I use is awesome and puts us right on the fish.
Iāll probably go out to Simcoe as well but later on in the season.
First though Iām going to go to Bayfield and nail some rainbows.

Ahh yeah, from what i understand Nipissing is way better at season opener.
Ya bayfiled will be a disaster for a bit here after all that rain.
Dying to get out here in the St Clair River At my fav place to fish but need a good cpl days of south wind to clear up the water now.
Im also hoping to go hit Port Dalhousie for Browns on rememberance day but not having much luck finding anyone to come with. If you do go to bayfield or saugeen let me know and maybe I can meet you there. Of if we get good water here you coukd come down this way. Walleyes are on fire lately at night from shore too again.
Kinda random, did I ever show you my custom centerpin reel?

Here is my best Brown - Bronte creek
And I landed these 2 same hour at 9mile last year .

Thatās a whole 'nother world to this old fisherman. I grew up in the south. We have a state park lake about a mile away from where I live now and it froze solid all winter last year. Iād like to go out with somebody and give it a try sometime. I love eating yellow perch and we are supposed to have them here. We have walleye.

Ran out of likes. Iām Manchester, england mate. I only really fish small waters. (Canals/rivers/the odd reservoir). Would love to go for some big cats at some point in my life but thereās nowhere local for them. You donāt wanna even eat the fish out of the rivers here. Let alone canals. My local river. (The river tame) has one of the worst cases of microplastics pollution recorded in the world. Not just UKā¦the world

living in Ontario Canada we are blessed to have Some of the nicest trout rivers to fish in the world. The Great Lakes offer amazing depth for delicious fresh fish to run up the river in the spring and fall. Some rivers have 8-10,000 fish run up them each season. Anglers dream if you hit the river on the right day.

Ah crap, sorry to hear that. Itās going to be more common in the future Iām afraid. Even the oceans. It fucking pisses me off. I am blessed to be surrounded by mostly very clean water where I live now. But even my local lake has traces of heavy metals from years of coal mining in the area. I havenāt eaten any of the fish from there yet and will probably just stick to the ones I catch up in the mountain lakes.
Lots of places on the ocean that I used to love to fish arenāt even fully safe. Supposedly mercury is showing up in a lot of ocean fish like tuna, etcā¦ Itās a shame to see such a decline in just my lifetime.

Yellow perch through the ice is amazing. Absolute one of the best fish to eat.

Iām smack dab in the middle of the lakes Region, we got alot of everything.

No Gators here mate you find the odd newt now and then lmao.
And donāt worry @GMan not your fault. Itās actually care of United utilitiesā¦ The people weāre supposed to pay for ācleanā water. Compulsory medication in the UK is illegal so they canāt actually charge you for water legally. Yet people still pay it?
Canada actually sounds good. I know a guy called Donny Crowder. He runs hot box huts @lake Simcoe. Ive always wanted to go over and fish for the little perch there. (They do seem small in comparison to ours)
