Wow! Very nice fish!
And here I was thinking that catching a ~4 lber. was big ....Congrats!

Wow! Excellent looking fish!

Not sure if I have seen a brown trout before but after seeing how beautiful they are I think I will have to gear up for next season! (In PQ)

Welcome to FH. In addition to the advice that Outfortrout metioned, I would also suggest that you use the FH Search tool and spend some tiem reviewing the numerous threads discussing shore fishing in/around the capital. Agreed. As a new (few months ago) member I usually do a search in the forums be...

Well said beachburger....I still pick out the black spots:)

I actually got my first couple trout using tips from the guys/gals here. I also feel less noobey with some of the fishing terms as well thanks to feeling open to ask questions.

Thanks!

Now you got me thinking...since LMB and SMB are from the family Centrarchidae as well is there a taste difference between the two bass? I would assume it would be hard to notice if you battered and deep fried them, but if you are just using butter/salt/pepper?

Cool thanks RJ

Since sunfish (crapet-soleil) are of the Centrarchidae family, I wonder if their taste is simlar to crappies...I guess I will just have to try 'em!

I know that I have seen a "crappie" on the Ontario fish identification charts but does crappie just mean bluegills, pumpkinseed, and maybe perch? I have found perch to be very good with the beer batter and was thinking i might give the bluegills a go after trout season.

Interesting....would stocking forage fish help? (I guess that would be smaller stockers) I mean if the forage fish are depleting I am sure that would trickle up the food chain rather quickly or the fish adapt and include something else in their diet. Also a friend told me at his lake they were stock...

Yeah that's a nice fish!
Leaving trash is rude....but it can attract bears which could be much much worse!

Nice! I bet the boat sure beats the hip waders

Hey, I'm still a noob/newb/nube here and have posted a couple times. My posts are to show a nice fish that I caught as a result of the community. Odds are I would not have caught it if I had not asked what to do (since I obviously had the wrong set-up/idea). F-H is good for the most part and since i...

But

1) It can be YOUR spot (that you like to fish)

Agreed!

Don't mean to be the Devil's advocate here but hear me out: I would be more inclined to believe that the people in the fishing derbies are more experienced and would know how to handle fish (taking the hook out, keeping ALIVE in the livewell, etc.). So it's mostly the sheer volume of people fishing ...

Welcome! Lots of good advice/tips and great community here!
