Jeff Wall WFN Ambassador

That's right folks, I got accepted to the WFN Ambassador program, and all I had to do was apply!!
Here's my link - Jeff Wall on WFN, please show your support and read my contributions, thanks.

I'll try to be more creative than my first post was, but I wanted to get something up quickly to get the process started.  Better yet, come out fishing with me and become part of the stories!

Fishing Report - March 24th 2010, lower Niagara River

Weather in Southern Ontario has been stellar for the past few weeks with lots of sun and plenty of days in the mid teens.  Doesn't bode well for fishing in most river systems though.
Made it out for a few hours today on the lower river.
Vis was about 8' below the dams and 15' above. My client Peter got nice fresh chrome hen in the first 15mins, and I managed a fat Brown Trout to cap of a half day of fishing.
Baitfish are moving in now but the fish aren't too active yet.
There were a lot of folks fishing all the different areas that we checked out, "get to work dammit!" :D
Beauty weather and they'd had a big rain down that way last night.








Can't wait to get out again for a loger day of less people.

Jeff Wall of Nomad Adventures hosts beginner kayak fishing seminar

We recently had small 2hr seminar and information session at Fogh Marine in Toronto.
This was directed at new or prospective kayak anglers in the Southern Ontario Great Lakes region.  Fogh Marine offered great deals on Ocean Kayak, Old Town and Hobie kayaks.  There were several attendees from the http://www.yakfisher.net/ forum and others from the local area.  Even one guest from the Nippissing area of Northern Ontario.

This was the first of several seminars and clinics to be conducted by Nomad Adventures in Ontario throughout 2010.  The next session will be an on-water clinic at Guelph Lake on May 8th for the opening of Pike season.  Fully outfitted fishing kayaks will be available for those new folks wishing to participate.
The full 2010 schedule is available at Nomad Adventures.

Niagara River Steelheading with Nomad Adventures

I got back at it with my friend Ben this past Sunday, and unlike the previous week, things started out very slowly.  Never saw the float go down until about 4hrs into the trip.  Hooked a decent laker just around the corner from the Glen near the Whirlpool and promptly lost it at shore while trying to remove the hook.  Three drifts later, I hooked into what would have been my PB Brown Trout but got broke off.  Both fish came on pink steelhead jigs.
I moved futher down the Glen to find my partner and switched over to using roe.  Lost two steelies shortly after the hookset and then decided to take a closer look at my hook....  Now 0-5 on my past two Niagara trips and getting very frustrated!  Turns out that the last two fish were lost due a bent tip on my hook!
This isn't the first time losing fish due to weak tips on Raven hooks.  Raven Specialist # 10 was the culprit on this day.
