It's Tamia's latest for In the Same Boat. http://www.paddling.net/sameboat/ Trips Directory Spotlight Isle Royale Kayak Tour (MI) by Uncommon Adventures We are going to strap our kayaks to the roof of a ferry, motor over fifty miles out to the largest island in the largest lake in the world and have a bit of a paddle. This is not a small thing. This unique island park with its Moose and Wolves is a popular destination for backpackers, but since it is an island we thought that it would make more sense to explore it from the water. Since we are budgeting eight days for this trip there will be plenty of time for day hikes, brisk swims, good lake trout fishing and listening to the loons. This is a magical place wrapped up in ancient rock, thimbleberries and the unforgiving waters of Superior. To insure your safety and maintain the flexibility of small camps, we limit this trip to only five participants. This can be a challenging destination with weather conditions that can get a bit "interesting". Though not appropriate for first time paddlers, for those with a little water time, Isle Royale is truly a Superior Jewel. http://www.paddling.net/trips/showCompany.html?show=104 Product Review Spotlight Cronje canoe by Nova Craft Canoe The canoe performs as advertised. Great tripping canoe - it is surprisingly fast for a canoe that will turn when asked to. We tracked speed with a GPS and easily maintained a 4 to 5 mph cruising speed with an easy, all day paddle stroke. I would say that it's overall handling characteristics are superb in all sorts of water conditions... Rating: 9 of 10 by TWatkins Read more reviews or get more info on the Cronje canoe.

"Catch More Fish" E-zine    February 15th 2012       Rainbow Trout Fishing - Drift Fishing Meal Worms   In This Issue Drift Fishing w/ Meal Worms The Best Fishing Times Greetings! If you head out fishing for trout during the winter months, you need to be aware of the fact that fishing for and catching trout in cold weather can be very different that catching trout when the weather is warmer.  During the cold weather months of February and even March trout feed much less often than they do when the water temperatures are warmer and the types of baits that they tend to eat are also quite different. The biggest key to fishing for trout during these cold months months is to downsize your baits as much as possible.  Nowhere is this more true than when you are dealing with live trout baits.  For example, rather than using live baits such as live worms or minnows, during these months downsize to live baits such as meal worms or maggots.  The article below discusses the technique of drift fishing with meal worms, which can be an effective technique to employ when fishing for rainbow trout during the cold weather months of February and March.  Live maggots can be substituted for meal worms at your discretion without changing the technique at all.  For those of you who live in area's where there is safe ice for ice fishing, you can always check out our blog for ice fishing tips that will help you catch more trout through the ice.  Don't forget to comment and leave your own tips that you think might be of help to someone else as well, and if you have a blog, let us know and we will follow/comment on your blog and we will do so.  Until next time, stay warm, and start to prepare yourself for the upcoming spring fishing season, it should be a good one.    JRWfishing     Rainbow Trout Fishing - Drift Fishing Meal Worms      One type of bait that often gets overlooked when you talk about rainbow trout fishing (except of course when it come to ice fishing) are meal worms. These weird looking "worms", that look like a cross between a grub and a small alien, are often used for as bait for rainbow trout under the ice, but once the ice melts are quickly forgotten as anglers opt for more "traditional" types of trout bait.   This is a big mistake as meal worms can be an excellent bait when they are "drift fished" in rivers that contain hungry rainbow trout. One of the best times to use this particular trout bait is during the spring, when river flows are generally high and muddy. This seems to be because when rivers flows are high a lot of interesting food sources get "washed" into the water that wouldn't otherwise be present. Whatever the reason, the bottom line is that drift fishing meal worms is an extremely effective trout fishing technique.   So how does one go about drift fishing with these little creatures to catch rainbow trout? The first thing that is needed is a seven to seven and a half foot ultralight rod with matching reel that is spooled with either two or four pound test fishing line. The long rod will give you plenty of "feel" as your meal worm (s) drift through the current and the light line will be invisible to the trout that you are attempting to catch, which means that you will receive more bites.   You want to rig a single #8 or #10 single fishing hook or a set of double fishing hooks such as gang hooks that are of equal size onto a 12-18 inch leader that is attached to the end of your fishing line using a small swivel. A meal worm is now "threaded" on to the hook (or one 'mealie' on each hook in the case of gang hooks) by starting just below the meal worms head and coming out 1/4 of the way before the end of the meal worms body. Much like you do when you thread a plastic grub onto a jig head, but in this case the live meal worm is the "body". Weight is now added to your line above the barrel swivel to keep your meal worm (s) as close to the bottom as possible as the drift is taking place. When rainbow trout fishing with meal worms you want the bait to be as close to the bottom as possible because this is often where the trout are feeding.   In order to drift fish for rainbow trout successfully, you want to be standing in the river that you are fishing and cast parallel to a little upstream of where you are standing, close the bail of your reel, and hold your rod tip in the air. You want to follow your bait with your rod tip as it drifts until the bait is directly downstream of where you are standing. At this point, reel in and repeat the process.   You should feel your weights "ticking" along the bottom of the river as your meal worm drifts. When a hungry rainbow trout takes the bait, you will know it because a bite feels distinctly different than the bottom. In fact many time hungry rainbow trout will simply engulf your meal worm with a steady tug. In any case, any time that anything "out of the ordinary" happens with your drift, set the hook and it should be "fish on"!   When it comes to rainbow trout fishing, drift fishing with this live bait is a technique that should be a part of every serious spin fisherman's arsenal, there's no doubt about it. >           5The best days to be fishing for the next four weeks.   2/21(New Moon) 3/8 (Full Moon)  The Best fishing is found in the 3-4 days surrounding a New or Full Moon Pay attention to the weather as well and try to have both the weather & moon in your favor
