Re: Edible fish

Although not aesthetically pleasing to fish during a blue-green algae bloom; fish consumption will not be impacted.

The directive is to stay at home. You will get your chance to go fishing, later. Please do your part.

Re: Does this really work? Stanley’s Ice Off Paste

Well, it certainly isn't the "only" de-icer as FF points out; however, I have used it with results better than the chapstick option. These options will take you so far on a cold day with reapplication required.

Re: Downriggers For Salmon/Trout

Just a note that Port Hope launch is not available due to high water level; however, Cobourg is fine. Cost is $10.50 which includes launch and parking.

Re: Spinning vs casting

I you have a budget, take a ride out to Paddletales and chat with Ed. You can discuss the pros and cons and walk out with what you want/need and can afford without getting burned in the process.
