Hit a portage in pond with a forum member from the Lake Simcoe Board this morning for 4 hours. We landed about 20 largemouth in the 1 to 2 pound range and one hog.

First time meet for the two of us. Hit it off pretty good. Weather was perfect and colors were pretty much at their peak:

They are. Although i don't typically eat bass - usually just catch and release fun. Better options for eating like coldwater walleye and jumbo perch.

Nothing wrong with culling out a few tasty 1-3 lb bass for the dinner table, that will leave a lot more bait fish to fatten up your Walleye up

Look at that beautiful scenery.

What kind of critters do you have walking around those woods?


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Many Many - too many to list but off the top of my head:

Moose
Bear
Rare but there Elk
Whitetail
Rare but there cougar
Lynx
Timberwolf
Wolf coyote hybrids
Coyote
Eastern Turkey
Snowshoe Hare
Cottontail
Ruff Grouse
Spruce Grouse
Woodcock
Mourning Dove
Assortment of Ducks and geese
Herons
Occasional Sandhill Crane
Bazillion different migratory and year round songbirds
Bald Eagles
Osprey
Assortment of Hawks and Owls
Standard vermin like skunks, coons, porcupines, squirrels and chipmunks
American bullfrogs - very cool to listen to.
Fishers
Pine Martens
Beavers
Otters

Probably missing some but that mostly covers what i have personally observed in the last 8 years on my 120 acres which connects to 10s of thousands of acres of roadless public wilderness on two sides of my property. Other side is 3000 feet of lake front and other side is private.

How big do the Timberwolves get in your neck of the woods?

Typically they are about 80 lbs. Largest I personally have ever seen was 119 lbs shot by a friend about 10 years ago. There are reports of larger but I am skeptical unless you show a pic of the animal on a certified scale. Wolf and bear size tend to be overestimated partly due to the nature of their long thick fur and partly because it makes a better story.
