Congratulations to #PhotoFriday winner Matthew Veroude of Cambridge, who recently enjoyed sharing the Niagara River with some beautiful fall steelhead.
“The best time of year is finally here!”
Some yielded, No, not we! Not we, we swear
By these our wounds; this trench upon the hill
Where all the shell-strewn earth is seamed and bare,
Was ours to keep; and lo! we have it still.
“The Unconquered Dead” by John McCrae.
We remember.

“There’s much to consider when hitting the hard water...Phase of winter, target species behaviour, lake type, habitat areas, and lure choice are some...This said, there’s a case to be made for not overcomplicating things,” Tim Allard writes in “Keep it simple ice fishing.”
