When fishing is like winning the Stanley Cup!

I am old enough to remember the last time the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup. I was in high school at Oakwood Collegiate, and my buddies Chris Pascucci and Gordie Lawson and I would run out the door at the end of the school day, hop on the streetcar, get off at the St. Clair station and ride the subway down to Maple Leaf Gardens. We’d get to the Gardens around 4:30, buy standing room-only tickets—I think they […] The post When fishing is like winning the Stanley Cup! appeared first on Outdoor Canada ..read more

Making sense of scents: Do they really help you catch more fish?
Outdoor Canada Magazine » Fishing
by Gord Pyzer & Liam Whetter

Do fish scents work? Should we apply them to our lures to catch more and bigger walleye, bass, trout, northern pike and muskies? That’s the question we posed on our recent Doc Talks Fishing podcast to Dr. Bruce Tufts, who is a comparative fish physiologist at Queen’s University. “Because we breathe air and live in an environment with air, we don’t always understand how things work in the water,” says Tufts, who specializes in fish olfactory senses. “Fish smell and […] The post Making sense of scents: Do they really help you catch more fish? appeared first on Outdoor Canada ..read more

Why your favourite lake doesn’t produce big bass
Outdoor Canada Magazine » Fishing
by Gord Pyzer & Liam Whetter
3w ago
Have you ever wondered why your favourite bass lake doesn’t produce big brawny fish like you often see the pros catching?  We have a jewel of a lake where we take folks who’ve never caught a lot of fish before, and it’s a hoot watching them hook one high-flying smallmouth after the other. But we’ve never seen a four pounder. Not even close. There’s a plethora of fish in the lake, but the population tends to be modest in stature. It […] The post Why your favourite lake doesn’t produce big bass appeared first on Outdoor Canada ..read more

4 fly-fishing gear hacks to help you perform better on the water
Outdoor Canada Magazine » Fishing
by Scott Gardner
1M ago
One of my goals as a fly angler is to get a little better every year. Since fly fishing doesn’t have a golf-like handicap system, however, there’s no official way to measure improvement, which is just as well. One area where I know I’m getting better, though, is managing my gear. Over the years, I’ve picked up many tips and hacks for maintaining and getting the most out of my rods, reels and lines. Strictly speaking, gear management won’t make […] The post 4 fly-fishing gear hacks to help you perform better on the water appeared first on Outdoor Canada ..read more

Fish detect vibration with their lateral line, so pick lures that appeal to this sixth sense. Here’s how
Outdoor Canada Magazine » Fishing

Most fish rely on their sense of sight to capture prey, but they can also detect vibration and movement via the lateral line running along their sides and across their faces. This organ is so sensitive that fish such as walleye and bass can feel the hydro-acoustic trail of a cisco, shiner or baitfish that has just fled. Who hasn’t made a cast with a surface bait, for example, and been shocked when a fish smashed it the second it […] The post Fish detect vibration with their lateral line, so pick lures that appeal to this sixth sense.

If fall algae blooms naturally occur in your lake, the fishing can still be great. Here’s why

Many lakes across the country are experiencing seasonal peak algae blooms right now, like our Lake of the Woods home water. It was flat as a pancake the other day—a rarity so far during this windy autumn—and if you looked at the water from a distance, you’d have thought it was green paint. And if you had never fished it before, you’d have thought your chances of a walleye, bass or other fish seeing your lure in the water would […] The post If fall algae blooms naturally occur in your lake, the fishing can still be great.
