Federal Parliament Vote Friday Is Critical For Anglers
Join Us for a National Anglers "Phone Your MP" Day

A vote scheduled for Friday in the House of Commons on federal animal cruelty legislation (Bill S 203) will be critical for people who fish and hunt. S-203 protects anglers and hunters and other traditional animal uses while significantly increasing fines and penalties for wanton animal abuses.

The US based animal rights groups like the International Fund for Animal Welfare and others are mounting a full scale effort against this legislation. For ten years they have aggressively supported alternative legislation (C-373) which would make it a crime to kill a fish or a deer, even if the animal dies immediately. Extensive legal opinion obtained by the CSIA from the firm of Lang Michener confirms these threats to our traditional outdoor heritage activities. A fishing license affords no legal protection for killing a fish.

In recent days the animal rights groups have mounted a last minute 'blitz' in the press and in Ottawa against S-203, and against legal protection for fishing and hunting. These are the same groups who led the campaign to ban spring bear hunting in Ontario and they are out to make it a crime to take your kids fishing.

Federal Members of Parliament need to hear TODAY from all of us who value our right to fish.

Call your MP's office right now and tell them you vote, and you want them to vote IN FAVOR of Bill S-203. Please click here to find the listing for your MP's phone number, or check your local telephone directory.

Stand up for our freedom to fish along with the other eight million Canadians who enjoy a day on the water - before the animal rights people make it a crime

The Tournament season is starting to begin lots and lots of tournaments and derbys around , we have 23 more days and then fishing opens up as of the 17 th of may , ive already have a trip booked for that day. Ganna do some Walleye fishing , As I was notified the other day I was approved for my Walleye draw and have to go pick my tags up this week. Anyway I hope all Catch-N members and Catch-N staff alike have a great and perductive tournament and fishing years.

Heading out this weekend to do some Fly fishing im brand new at it but im ganna go try for some Rainbows, when in doubt ill have my trusty bait caster and use a Rapila shad rap rainbow pattern and hammer me a few nice fish. A follow up to follow, as well as pictures.

[BIGBADJOHN]

well folks after a long 6 weeks were down to 4 days before our local waters re open, talk about excited. going Saturday to do some Walleye and pike fishing , If the walleye havent moved to my spot we will have to do some burbot or pike fishing which isnt a bad thing . Pictures to follow.

So as I sit here I am getting ready for opening weekend, sharpening hooks, pre tying rigs spooling fresh line on my reels oiling my reels so that it eliminates the chance of losing fish. Nothing worse then getting hooked up and losing that lunker because of some silly reason .If you use braided line you don’t have to replace it as often Instead of 4 or 5 times a year ill replace it once a season, it’s expensive when well worth it when you fish as much as I do. And the tournaments you would hate to lose that tournament winning fish because of junky line. Also keeping your hooks sharp is good for strikes as you set that hook its going to get in and stay in not get in half way and fall out. Ive seen many people that lose fish due to lack of a good set up. I don’t care if your using a 10 dollar rod and reel set up or if your using a 500 dollar rod and reel set up if your Equipment isn’t proper for the application you increase break offs , equipment failure, and so on . So next time the day before you go out on the water take an hour or two before go thru your equipment sharpen your hooks if they need to look at your like for frays or cracks and replace if need be. So use some of these tips for your next trip. Good luck and good fishing, Tight lines yall.
