So, I heard some pretty positive things about Mystery Tackle Box last year and I thought I'd try one out this year. Here's a pic of what they sent me - a variety of rubber crayfish, some hooks to gear them up, a new jig and a crankbait. I never really fish with plastics, so I'm looking forward to gi...

Dunno if you're still looking, but I got some from MEC, the brand is Suncloud and they are really good. Covers whole field of vision, they have a material on the nose that becomes more grippy with perspiration (BIG plus for me) and they are reasonably priced - ~$50

But where did they get the trout from in the first place?

For what it's worth, Almost all season long you can troll with crankbaits that have perch colours, and also smallmouth bass colourings if you are after pike/musky/walleye and bass on any of the rideau network - they work pretty much year-round.

Absolutely glorious. Thanks for the pics!

I wonder how the fishing gods feel about this sort of ritual... Increases their usual catch? Where'd they get the brook trout from? A farm?

Woo hoo! Nice fish!

Common sense approach. Good point.

One of my buddies swears by Algonquin Park... You could try Silver Lake/Any of the parks on highway 7, or head to the Kawarthas - Terrific stuff, and a great setting. If you need some kindling for the situation, Kingston is a small town with fishing and also has suitable amenities that might come in...

Just as an FYI, a buddy of mine sent me this to show me what he got this month. Not a bad bag if you ask me. I would just still prefer to grab what I want off of the shelf. http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y446/lape0019/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps3c82cf09.jpg Wow, that's a great bag. I hear you a...

I've noticed the same thing - Bate Island to Westboro used to be fairly quiet, but it's more and more crowded. Forget about weekends. If you kayak, go for it. I spent a lot of last summer in the Kawarthas, and I'll be heading there again in a couple of weeks for some serenity.

I must be the lucky one. I fish the shores here in Ottawa, and I haven't had too many issues. Never in the East side though, but I was thinking of trying the Rideau around Lees. I mostly fish early or in midday, but I mostly have to contest with people bringing their families to feed the overpopulat...

Glad you asked because I just learned about them today and I was thinking about it. They ship the 10th, but it must take a while to get to Canada?

Definitely going to look into it for next year.
