Nice Lakers!
Hope I will be recovered enough by august to go up to my Cottage which is on a stocked Lake Trout lake and we're the only cottage on the entire half of the lake! We own all the waterfront on the south side of the lake.
The other side has a few homes and cottages, but more or less small ones. It's a very small lake, crystal clear, cold, water. Lakers Galore. a good stocking program in the lake, and no one ever fishes her.
I will be fishing her if I can.....God willing I will heal enough to get up there...
I have a question for you guys though.
HOW CAN YOU TELL WHETHER A LAKER IS STOCKED OR NATURAL? Is there a marking on them? Does the MNR mark them in some way so we can differentiate from a natural or stocked fish?
Anyways, looked like you guys had a good time. The Lake looks beautiful, and the weather looked very nice too....
GREAT PICTURES!
God Bless and Take Care

Hey Steve nice looking fish. So when are Eric and I going to get a laker outing with you?
We were out today and decided to stay around Buchams. I got 4 eyes, 2 pike, 2 bass and a Catfish. Also had 5 mis-hooks. The bass hits were cool, were were trolling and I was using a lure I picked up today at Bits and Baits, it is a Manns -1 in Bass colour and the bass would just shoot out of the water at the bait. I got 3 different types of fish with this lure, also old faithful proved its worth again with a nice pike.
Eric got 4 bass and a couple of pike and I belive a Saugeye if there is such a thing. We were really kind of lazy today and didnt really have much of a plan and just winged it. No particular species targeted.
So Laker fishing soon eh?

Nice work with the Lakers Steve. Port Hope's picking up good now.
they clip a front ventral fin. Very noticable when you see one.

Tom, Rob was right on with the fin clippin'....MNR cuts the left front ventral fin on the stocked lakers so that they can be identified between them and the native species....if you look close above my baby finger, you'll see that there is only a "stump" left of the ventral fin as opposed to the pic below that shows the entire fin...
