Title: Hello, new member from SW Ontario,Canada
Post by: Dave.C on February 21, 2018, 09:38:07 PM
Hey guys,
Been lurking on the sight for a while, rebuilt a few reels and now I'm in full bore. I fish for salmon,trout and walleye on Lake Huron.
I went to a tackle shop that was closing and bought 3 boxes of penn reels, new parts and parts reels.  I have rebuilt two of them, a 209 and 309.
Thanks Allan for the great site,I still have lots of reading to do. Lots of good info and people here.
Cheers from north of the 49th!!
Dave

Welcome aboard, Dave!

Southwestern Ontario is some of the best freshwater fishing I have ever experienced.

We would fly out of Kenora, then spend a week or so fishing for Lakers and Pike on a couple of the lakes we landed on with floats. 

Good work on the Penns.

Best,

Fred

Thanks for the welcome guys.
Fred, that would be NW Ontario. Beautiful up there for sure.  That's about 26 hrs from me. With a tail wind😬 I'm about 3.5 hrs north of Detroit.

Sal, I have some before and after pics. I'll get them posted. I showed a few guys at work and they were quite impressed.

Dave.

Thanks GS.
I posted some pics in the beginners section, 
Most of my fishing is salmon and trout, not nearly as big as yours due to the alewife collapse in Lake Huron. The zebra and quagga mussels all but eliminated the bottom end of the food chain.
It is slowly starting to come back. Chinooks in the 20 lb range are the tops with quite a few in the mid teens.
Here's some pics.
Some of my son and last one with a November steelhead on Lake Huron.  It was snowing when we came in.

Welcome!

I used to troll Lake Superior, and Lake Michigan for salmon in the late 70s, early 80s, and I worked on the large lakes team, and fished steelhead, and Lake Trout from shore in Duluth during college (mid 1990s).
