161.0. "Early Action!" by KAOOA::BOURGEOIS () Thu Apr 23 1992 10:45

    		THE CROPPIES ARE IN
    
    
    	Up here on the Rideau River in Ontario, the Black Crappies have
    moved into the warming still water areas and begining to feed.  We
    caught a fair number of them but had to work for them.  You couldn't
    catch more than two or three fish at the most on any single jig.  I was
    down to 1/64 & 1/100 oz. and 2 lb. line and could only produce a fish
    every four or five minutes.  They tasted like food for the gods to this
    fish starved Kanuk angler.  Check to see if there are any around where
    you live if you are looking to test out some of that new tackle you
    bought this past winter.
    
    	Later, I'm headin' out to the river as soon as they let me go for
    the day.  Chow.

	My guess is they'll try and reschedule for next month. These sure are unusual conditions. I wonder if there are any ponds with Rainbows that are legal to fish from a boat in right now...? -donmac

	Bow Lake?
161.3	bow iced in?	RANGER::MACINTYRE	Terminal Angler	`Tue Jan 17 1995 14:00`	7
	Bow was one of my considerations, I'm going to try and pickup a rule book tonight and see if it's available. Anyone know if it's iced in? -donmac

	Don, I was chatting with a friend yesterday and he said the main lake at Bow is wide open. I wouldn't doubt it considering the weather. If we do get some colder weather before the Winnie Ice Derby, I suspect the crowds will be found on a lot of the smaller lakes and ponds stocked with rainbows rather than try going out on Winnie. Soooo...how many more days before we head to Santee and leave all this crap behind?!? (Of course, if this mild weather continues, we could be leaving an early spawn behind.) -J-
161.5	Webster open?	DELNI::GAFFNEY	Gone fishin/racin	`Mon Mar 24 1997 18:46`	7
	Anyone fish Lake Webster this weekend. Just wondering if the whole lake is open. What about the ramps? Is the town ramp open this early, or would the state ramp be a better bet. Am sure hoping to get out this coming weekend. Gone fishin Gaff
161.6	I think the answer is YES to all the above !!!	SUBPAC::MATTSON		`Thu Mar 27 1997 12:16`	5
	Gaffer, Sully was fishig it last weekend. I believe he used the town ramp. Gary
161.7	Big fish!	DELNI::GAFFNEY	Gone fishin/racin	`Thu Mar 27 1997 18:41`	2
	Hope to be out early Saturday morning, unless of course I get sucked up into that spaceship in the comet's tail :*)

	Unnhuh... already he's making excuses for getting skunked!!
161.9	Webster, I love that place!	DELNI::GAFFNEY	Gone fishin/racin	`Mon Mar 31 1997 19:14`	14
	No skunks here! Well, the spaceship never made an appearance, so I went trout fishin at Webster Saturday morning. Pea soup thick fog! I did get my limit though, 2 rainbows and a brown. Nice fish, all around 1 1/2 to 2 pounds. I hadn't fished for stocked trout in years. Now I remember why, they are wimps!!!! A 10" smallie will fight better than these pen raised fish. But I talked to two boats that were bass fishin, and they didn't have a hit. So, all in all, it was worth it. A guy trolling not to far in front of me caught a nice slamon, well over 5 pounds. Now that one knew how to fight! If this snow ever melts, I might try for one of those salmon again next weekend. Gone fishin Gaff
