Akira,
Post away! All that info can be obtained from the MNR....stocking reports, creel census and trap netting surveys ...although you may not want to read those, you'd be depressed by how few trout are actually in most of those lakes. Very few make it to the ice fishing season. It is true the odd one is lucky and grows up to chow down fresh stockers each year. An oversized one gets caught every couple years causing people to get all excited.
As far as threats.....The gutless wonder that sent the email will never show his face. Keying an unattended vehicle seems more inline with this character. Besides his name suggests he's from the Toronto area.
I remember your post where you said it was your goal to catch a trout....and you did. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
Now folks.....What post would make people to head en masse up to Calabogie? Some pics of 10 inch brookies? Gimme a break.

I don't think Johnny was serious making all those threats. I beleive the guy was geniuly pee pee off by the way we behave in what he calls his backyard.
How many fires did you have on ice last winter? How much garbage did you leave behind? Right, you didn't. Then who did? Just look at the pictures in some fairly recent posts. Where all that garbage came from? Why all those coals floating in the lakes and why the shoreline is full of trash and ashes?
I was fishing in that area for the past ten years and what I see is pretty sad. The place is turning into one huge dump. I know that some of us take home someone else garbage, but somehow it keeps piling up. I am not saying that all that garbage comes from cities, but a good share of it probably does. And I can understand why people who live there don't like such a loud advertisement from this board about "Calabogie trouting".
By the way, I agree with ganman. Fishing in that area is not that great anyway. Unless, of course, your goal is 10" brookie (and 10" is often a monster, it's more like 8"). The whole stocking program in SE Ontario is a joke. Unfortunately it took me too long to realize this.

If you measure your fishing success in inches, Calabogie is a disappointment. If you measure your success in your ability to get fish to take your fly, it can be great.
And there is no justificaton - ethically or otherwise - for sending threatening e-mails over recreational fishing.

Time's fun when you're having flies.
Moskito ,
Great post .Sorry for taking your post for my comments but you have made some very good points.

Treat is a treat seriously or not. It is very hard to figure out if you don't know the person. I'm taking this seriously and next time going there I will be prepared for something like that could happend.Of course I'll make sure all my friends know that as well.

I have to admit I'm guilty on this as anyone else.I have tendency of setting up the fire when it gets cold . I did once last winter

Moskito , I do agree with you .both of as where witnesses of people leaving garbage,empty botles on SH.... lake last fall.There is not much you can do about it.I have tried to talk to them few times about leaving garbage and setting fires everywhere on the shore but majority of people where not concern at all. I don't want to get in confrontation with the people about garbage (overall I'm there to fish)

I don't think people advertising Boogie on purpose .This is just a great area relatively close to Ottawa where you can fish for trout and enjoy some nice scenery. Unfortunatly beside Boogie on Ontario side we don't have that many spots for trout fishing.

Hi Guys
Lucky for me since I am fairly new to the area, I work with a guy who is willing to show me some of his backwoods trout spots in Quebec. However he has told me in the last 20 years he and his dad have discovered at least 10 red/brook trout lakes. They find them hunting in the fall, all on foot. Each one of these has subsequently been found by others and decimated. This was without the help of the internet!!!!
For them it is quite a thrill to find a possibly unfished lake. They are not selfish but they do not share information. For obvious good reasons.
Cheers,
steve
