I for one would like to say thank you MtDeW for your generosity! It is amazing what comes out of the woodwork when something is being given away for free, again thank you !

Did it escape your attention that MtDew is not a member before you start slagging us off mate?
 
Spawnicus has been playing on your servers for Donkeys years, ask any WAW player, certainly far far longer than some of the others. Get on the other servers and meet these people, just cos they don't post don't mean nothing.

I thought Dew was running this give away!

that and a bat house are on my list for this spring,the hive will start out with 150 bees the bat house....none,lol they will move in.I have woods and creek in my back yard,so it will all be good....I hope. Bees for the gardens and flowers and general pollination.The bats,mosquitos...

You're right I was amazed too, like most I normally use wire traces for pike, even perch I use the flexible thin wire (a sod to stop kinking). But the previous session I'd had some great Perch on mono (up to 4lbs) so stuck with it. Like most I have dozens of rods and reels, this time I took a 10' 3 piece float rod and a 9' quiver tip with 1 oz tip for ledgering, caught the Pike on the quiver, both with Shimano 2500 reels, 8lb main line, 5lb traces. I would normally fish size 10 or 12 hook for Perch, but tried the smaller hook as experiment. I only had my small landing net too, everything went against what should be normal.
I took my wife fishing on our honeymoon as a 'surprise' holiday to Inverawe fisheries in Scotland, she's never forgiven me.
 

No, because I WASN'T wearing it lol, just my normal fishing outfit, black fishnet stocking (appropriate), black garters and a pink basque, don't want to look out of place in the park.

Was the crowd chasing you cause you were wearing your trench coat?

That’s a great catch on that small gear. Amazing those teeth didn’t cut the leader. #16 is a small hook but when they take a hold they work. The leader would have been the weak link in my mind.
Rob what rod and reel setup are you using?

Here is the link to some incredible information on fish stocking in Canada from the 1930’s

@SGTSmeg The trout I catch are originally from a Scottish lake. Loch Levin. These fish were stocked as pure stock and also hybrid with Atlantic Salmon. I’ll post a link to some incredible information from the 1930’s on the stocking program here in Canada at that time. The areas to look for are Saint John, New Brunswick, Loch Lohmand lake.
SADLY some A-Holes introduced small mouth bass into this fishery. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy fishing small mouth bass but these lakes have map now been effected by the illegal introduction of the small mouth.
Sorry for getting off track. The best way for me to prepare the fish.
Never let your fish sit. I fillet my fish, get rid of the skin (fishy smell). Pull any remaining small bones you may have missed when you filleted them. I heat about 1/4 inch of cooking oil in a cast iron fry pan. Most times I cook it in the BBQ. I use salt, pepper garlic powder on the fillet then coat with a light dust of flour and fry. I also use Montreal steak spice and flour to change it up. Both are absolutely delicious with NO FISHEY flavour. 
I use both these recipes on all my fish, grouse, pheasants, ducks, geese and woodcock.
Everyone I have fed this to always wants more. Most of the time I would serve all this wild game with home made deep fried fries. Mmm!
@RobMc ‘s recipe sounds great too. When you scale a fish it actually removes the scales AND fish slime removing a lot of that fishy smell. 

This is @Timmah!'s favorite coffee
 

Try this:- gut and scale them (of course) then deeply score both sides of the fish on the thick part of the backbone. Rub ENGLISH mustard into the scores (yes I know everyone says, but trust me ENGLISH mustard - you won't taste it), cover all over with lemon or lime juice, marinade for 20 minutes. Then panfry in butter on a medium heat for around 2-3 minutes per side. I like mine with a bit of black pepper.

Great catch Wayne, I've just got back, at around the time you posted this I was Perch fishing and landed a 15lb Pike caught on a single worm, size 16 hook and 5lb mono, took me 20 minutes to net it and I had a crowd around me.

Knowing your penchant for worms I'm surprised you don't drink Kopi Luwak ?

I hope Spawny wins it too, he has played with us for years, lovely guy

I hope ya win it Spawnicus. This guy has been having trouble with his hard drive locking up, and his wife hates it. lol
He keeps alot of people on the death match servers cause he makes our K/D ratio look real good. lol
Good Luck

Wayne I have always found Rainbow Trout to be very 'fishy' to the taste.  Is it the way it has been prepared?  Or perhaps not so fresh?  
I do love Salmon!

Although I appreciate the fact that the MAJORITY of the world LOVES coffee I can say I’ve only tried coffee twice in my life!
THE FIRST TIME AND THE LAST TIME WAS THE SAME TIME! Same goes for tea.
Now alcohol was a different story. I did give it an honest effort but “NOT MY THING”!
 

I buy my favorite green coffees from around the world as they come into season & roast them myself. Too many places roast the flavor right out of the bean (Charbucks). No use paying for a particular bean if it's then roasted to hell & tastes the same as any other cheaper coffee.
Kona, Yirgacheffe,  Blue Mountain, Kenya, Sulawisi, Guatemalan, Sidamo etc.  
Actually enjoy a dry process brought to Cinnamon roast in the mornings.  Really brings out the flavor profile. 
 

@RobMc WARNING SEVERAL FISH WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS POST!
The lake I’m interested in opens May1 st every year! That’s damn cold but can produce some nice Brown trout and Landlocked Atlantic Salmon. 
last years May1 & 2 catch!
