it's tshirt weather

we have a foot of snow

PEI

rip got 2 feet still

what is tshirt weather in canada?

Yeah it's literally too hot for jeans right now

+2

just above freezing

basically

It's like 7 C right now

well 0 if iit's sunny out

it was 18 a couple days ago

holy crap

wish it was that warm the filipino who stole my fishing spot would go though the ice in a hour

I just want to get to tanning season already, but it keeps deciding to rain half way through every beautiful sunny day

Flips are too small to fall through ice, but large enough to float

true

He put like a mini house there

pretty soon there will be mandatory tanning to cut back on whiteness

never seen a 2 story fishing hut before

wut

Does he fish from a window on the second floor or something?

tanning makes you look 10 lbs lighter

yeah theres this lake vent where the ice is sorta thin and the fish hang out there he put this 2 story hut over it

do your asians litter up fishing spots, like ours do?

Increased melanin makes you heavier

wut

It's a joke

Fishing? You guys are such rednecks

now now if i was a redneck id use my dynomite

Did he build it on the lake or drag it out with a truck?

but i use that to keep the wolves at bay

I've never seen a prefab that big

draged it out there with an argo

easily 100sqare feet

wow

what do you guys fish for up there?

Immigrants

trout nothing but trout the fishery out here is full blown retard

the hell is going on?

dotn get me started i miss ontairo too much

I went fishing with my uncle once before he hung himself

At least you don't have our carp problem

trout is pretty fun though

Stellar associations!

no it;s not with all the rules

They've shat up all the streams and lakes and everything else dies in the water they muddy up

Damn water pigs

yeah carp are garbage

Taste ok, though

Not worth it usually

not what i heard

no barbed hooks no modifed hooks tell me good sir you seen non barbed hooks being sold ANYWHERE?

unless you smoke it

Depends what they eat

Oh, just cut the barbs off a regular hook

Wait...

yeah ye missed the second part didn't ya

What's the logic behind that?

you cant crush the barbs thats modifed

to stop people from fishing bar none

can you make your own hooks?

albertans ate all the fish in the 60s and 50s

I went to the bwca and crossed into the quetico a few times, now i remember those rules

so now there laws are more about fucking you over then rules to fishing

Why tho

Got a fishfucker in office?

merman

so the trout can bounce back, even though they wont because trout are so fucking fickle there dieing out like cheetas

What the fuck kind of pussy trout do you have?

Replace with Alligator Gar and Bluegills

as long as it's cold they should be okay right?

Nyet

they cant do globa warming and they wont fuck no more because od poluants in the water

So then replace them with something

but the trout

Dunno how that's an issue

We made plenty of frankentrout down here

lol, because that never goes wrong

Not on purpose, but they're here and do marginally better

but the trout tho,, is the response to everything

Get some snakeheads

Those live anywhere

not really the frost is pretty much what stops them here

why do you think we have a carp problem?

it;s the only reason there not here allready

https://twitter.com/ShortFatOtaku/status/977020798945906689

they found snake head in the calgary water reserve and they died in 4 years

they have 0 now

@Deleted User It's more an issue in the midwest US, but it's starting to creep up into the northeast

they dont do the cold well

They muddy up the water and nothing else can breathe it, so eventually only carp are left

zebra musscles are the reall problem in ontairo

They do that by digging up all the plants that have roots in the water and eating the roots

those things suck big time

that is what i'm saying though, introducing different fish and trying to engineering nature almost always ends up being a mistake. look at australia for example

You guys are so knowledgeable on fish

ok but repopulating trout with little to no gentic differnce that are all ready dieing out naturaly is good ?

I just want everything to go to shit already

So people can admit its fucked and work to fix it

Figure snakeheads would alarm people plenty

i'm not saying it is good, i'm just saying it should take a lot of consideration before trying to introduce other species

I agree, but shit's fucked

i mean they farming hunderds of thousands of these fuckers and there still decreasing in number, and the limit is 0 in most places 2 if your lucky a day

Is it just breeding that's an issue, no new predators or anything?

i mean we have perch here allready and blue gill naturaly they killed them all to reduce compatiton for the trout :/

oy

Eating lamb steaks

so are trout native up there?

yes but not the ones there trying to save!

oh

damn

brown trout and gold are the natives

Wait, what?

and bull

i didnt know that

```Eating lamb steaks```More redneck!

The fuck are they tryin to save then?

Rainbow trout?

but there making thousnds of these cutthroats that are not natural

They... WANT cutthroat trout?

cutthroats died out here were natural and they been trying to get them back ever since

Reintroduction is near impossible

that sounds dumb. along with the forest fire thing you mentioned, it seems like someone is fucking up big time up there

it's fucking sad

Hmmm

Maybe we can burn the forests onto the trout?

our golden trout pop is sitting at about 8k -20k and even they have a limit of 1

yet bull trout limit -0

weird

with an esimated pop of over 300k

i mean sure you need to climb a mountian to get any golds but still

they only live above 6k feet above sea level

i wanted to put one in my tank and found out they get depressed and stop eating because they are not ontop of the world.

the french canadian is going insane

trout are probably my favorite to fish, but my state only has a little corner that actually has them and it's 4 hours away. plus they are pretty small

They're usually stocked near me

show me a reasonble french canandain and ill show you a lier

Not as fun as natural fish, stocked ones are dopes

Bluegills are the smartest, I think

i pulled a 23 pound rainbow out of cold lake here.

it's water isnt cold enough where i live

wut bluegills the smartest?

https://twitter.com/CountDankulaTV/status/977262055706292229

@flyingfoxel Yeah, they need really specific lures or bait to get them to bite

this

Probably has to do with the ones I'm talking about being very easy to get to and where people take their kids to fish

Yeah.

O.o

not where i live, you can catch three at a time on one cast

Fish get more practice than the anglers there

if you spraypaint a leaf yellow they will hammer that shit all day

Guess I got the Phd bluegills

Yeah, they like yellow bait, but they still eat it off the hook

those are by far the dumbest fish i have ever went after

They know what hooks look like

tasty though

The little pond they're in is next to a paved road and is inside a high traffic park

So people try to catch one on the way back from the zoo or a ball game

oh so they know

Oh yeah, they know what's up

People give up pretty easy as well.

yeah where people are not around they are hella dumb

they focus on out breeding rather then being picky

Wonder if they can pass that knowledge on to their spawn

those types of places are always diaper zones around here. people just trash fishing spots that are close to the city

Cause they've been like that for years in that little pond

@Deleted User Oh yeah, but the bluegills eat everything the geese won't

People will feed the geese and crumbs will get eaten by the bluegills

take a orange beed place it between 2 pieces of worm and i bet you ten bucks your will out fish 10 people at that spot

Bluegills win, everyone steps in goose shit

I have to use a net for them, honestly

Faster than waiting 20 minutes each

And it's catch and release there anyways

they think it's a night crawler came up from below they hit it almost as soon as it hits the water

i'll have to try that sometime

huh

Well, beats getting wet trying to net them

I'll give that a shot later this year

I'm getting sick of the Snappers going after my feet when I try to net a fish

I usually try for catfish around here though, throw out a couple lines and relax for a while.

They're getting aggressive lately

Yeah, catfish are good sports

sooo glad we dont have many snapping turtles out here

those things scare the shit outa me

I'll send you one if you want to pay the air fare

Like a foot wide big enough?

i've gotten a few while catfishing

Aw, don't hook em if you can avoid it

I always feel bad

they just find it in the water

i dont really want them

I try not to fish near them

Or I switch to the net

But most of them are too big and old to get "caught" either way

Liable to pull you in if you hooked one

i caught a catfish when I was a kid and before i hauled it up my brother warned me it has a defensive mechanism, and i fell for it thing cries just like a baby

lol

I had one stick me with the fin once

Never again

i fish in a pretty big river, so it doesnt happen that often, but if i leave bait in the water when catfishing, they will find it sometimes and get hooked

they dont sting up here

Lucky

Gotta grab them by the tail near me

well the kind in ontairo

They don't try to hurt you, but they can

the ones in manitoba that get to like 40+ pounds do

@Deleted User You must not have big enough ones to worry about hooking them

you guys fish?

Count yourself lucky the elder ones have not found you

Not that much anymore

the small ones can get you, but the bigger ones arent as bad because their barbs or whatever usually become dull

Did not know that

serriously i will fight a badger with bare hands before i get near a snapping turtle

i saw a massive one in Minnesota once, just chilling on a rock. It looked like a freaking dinosaur

Because it is

^

They're smarter than you think

ever seen a badger fight a backhoe?

i have

Most of the ones in the park I visit know not to go after hooks

lol

I've seen one drag a duck under once. Granted, it wasn't a very big duck, but still

I've luckily never been in contact with a badger

The ducks avoid certain ponds for that reason

badgers are suuuuper dumb

More balls than brains?

you give them anything to fight and they will ignore you, even a turtle knows you are holding the stick

lol

they have 2 modes sleeping and imma go bite that

arent they the ones that can survive venomous snake bites, and just sleep it off?

no

live now btw guys https://youtu.be/T3e1hnRiiuk

thats an african badger totaly better beast

gotcha

I had to kill one once that was digging up our fence line, just held a stick in its face, well it "fought" the stick got it with my right hand. they are really dumb they traded smarts for viscousness.

Seems to work for them

Even bears won't touch them

if you dont have a distraction im told they go for your nuts then your throat

what do you mean by you got it with your right hand? youre not claiming to have punch a badger to death are you?

no grabbed it, explaining it's death might ge tme put in jail so why i was vauge not sure if it's considered crule to kill em the way i did.

ill check first

They're hard to hurt, all that baggy skin

shitealaska

I've had enough of the race thing for a lifetime, I cant watch that sort of thing anymore

ok cool drown the thing

i figured it was something like that

did you put it in a bag?

i had a chainmalle glove on grabbed it by it's neck put it in the cage we had preped and drowned it
