It is pretty serious and many people including myself didn't give it much thought until recently .. you see we are in the process of planning our first trip to algonquin park .. likely the first week or second of may .. so the water is going to be frigid ...

Yeah I had the same thought as I read the first few posts ... I've fallen through ice before and it's pretty scary ... mind you in my case my dad just laughed as i was panicing and calmly said "stand up ... there's only 2 or 3 feet of water there" ... oh yeah right ... Having said all that...

I'm not looking for trophy walleye here ... I just want a place to take my two little girls (age 2 and 4) for an hour or two of fishing ... if ...

I also agree with Todd ... the lakes that I referred to in my post were speckled trout back in NS ... there were many guys that had little to do sometimes except fish and hunt so they and a few buddies could limit all the time (some used to ski doo in the back way to a lake and take out feed bags fu...

Good advice on one of the posts about using a leader thats stronger than the main line ... spot on as far as i'm concerned ... when fly fishing for finicky trout we always think the opposite but for the big guys you can throw out the heavy test line.
