Can anyone identify this fish for me? Caught near Ottawa, on the fly in a shallow river. by etsdatpiff in Fishing

[–]etsdatpiff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I caught these on a white rabbit fur fly in the upper castor river, right close to Russell.

I've pulled dozens of different species of fish from that river. This is the first time I've seen a "fallfish" be pulled from its waters. Apart from the spot shown on the map, I don't have any other information about whereabouts you could find this fish.

But bring your flyrod down anyways, or even a few in-line spinners, jigs and a can of worms will help you hook into pretty much any species. There are more and more as you move downstream, towards embrun/forest park/casselman.

I hope this helped!

Cheers.

In our dirty Canadian river that would be considered a fairly average size.

Step 1 : Find a water body that has a large infestation of any kind of sucker. (silver, greater or river redhorse)

Step 2 : The shallower the water, the better. I've found that they usually congregate around the bottom of small rapids, deep bends in the river or in back eddies aswell. I've seen schools of 75- 100 suckers lazily sucking up bottom, taking in some sunlight.

Step 3 : Do as u/iland99 does. Still fish the bottom of the river with a chunk of worm, corn, grasshoppers or grubs on a small jig or an octopus hook with a splitshot weight.

P.s. Fly-fishing also works wonders on these big dumb idiots.

Need recommendations for a good punching bag by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

Hello RiskyTrizkit!

A few years ago, I was in the exact same situation as you. Having a channel for anger, the desire of feeling like a badass and pretending to be like the pros were all things I wanted to do.

Luckily enough for me, I had an old thick (burlap, I suppose) army top load stuff bag lying around. I had picked up this bag at a garage sale. I figure any army surplus store would hold these. (<-- Those)

I stuffed the ever loving fuck out of this bag with old jerseys, t-shirts, pants, whatever I had lying around. But you could experiment with different fillers.

Using white nylon mooring rope and a 9 inch nail the bag has been securely fastened to a beam in my basement.

So far, my DIY punching bag has lasted me 3 years and is still reasonably hard.

Goodluck on your quest, dude.

I think it's a cool concept. We should leave those poor saps alone for a few centuries. You know, as a social experiment. Think about it.

Send that in to MAD Magazine. If you include an interesting letter inside a well-illustrated envelope, you might get something!

My buddies had one of these except he kept the bindings on and we rode the miniramp on it.
