Fishing up north

i'm a 2nd year fish and wildlife technologist from northern ontario if
anybody from southern ontario or the states is looking for any
information or questions about fishing in the north please reply to
this.

hi i am from the alliston region and was looking to go ice fishing up
north this winter and was wondering if you new any guides that would be
able to accomidate my and another person on our first time ice fishing
experience. I would also like to know what should one know when going
ice fishing in the north(Gear,weather conditions, lakes and tackle)
thanks

hi adam there are some fishing guides and ice hut rentals close to my
hometown I would be glad to give tou a few phone numbers to try out if
you are interested. Also you should know that when you go ice fishing
in the north it is very convenient to have a 4 wheel drive truck and a
snowmobile, because the best lakes are the hard to get to ones. A few
good lakes around the Kirkland Lake area are Abitibi and Labrinth for
walleye and northern pike. Larder Lake and Joyce Lake for laketrout,
brook trout, and rainbow trout. If you would like more information you
can e-mail me at my e-mail address.

We're much interested in finding good places to fish.
Every place in Ontario that we can reach by road seems to be short of
any fish. We can't afford the huge prices the Lodges that have
exclusivity on the Good Areas for the Wealthy Sportsman.
Indeed we are fidning it a chalenge to finance Georg Bush's Orwellian
Passports so we can come home if we visit Canada again to fish.
We want areas that we can reach with our Truck and Fifth Wheel and rent
small craft for some good fishing. I don't mean a lunker on every cast.
I just want a good fishing trip and maye a few for the skillet.

I'm confused. I got my passport a couple years ago, and I don't recall it
being that expensive. I had a job in Mexico and I need my US passport so I
got get my Mexican work visa so I paid extra for overnight both ways and
expedited processing, but the basic costs weren't all that high.

I may be wrong. It will be the first time, no second, no first. I heard
a discussion of the costs. I'm under the impression it is a little over
200.00 per person total.
That's not much, granted, to many. But a Disabled Vet even with Wife's
substantial income doesn't go very far these days.
It cost me 129.60 to fill up my diesel pickup today. When I bought it
19.60 got me 38 gallons.

97 dollars for a first time passport. 60 more to expedite.

You can afford a canadian fishing license, a truck, a fifth wheel, and a
boat but can't afford 97 dollars for a passport good for 10 years?
Gimme a break.
