That's a pretty decent list for only 2 months worth of down time fishing. You should take part in this year's multi-species challenge. Some of your catches may still be eligible, although as a new rule this year, there is a 2 week window between catch and entry in the contest, or it doesn't count. Why is it that everyone else can catch a river chub but me???

Seen a white perch for the first time this year in zone 16, good to know they're good eating.

We've caught a few bowfin on Georgian Bay north of Parry Sound and have had a few Gar follow bass lures to the boat and bolt. No shortage of pike, LMB, SMB and muskies up there. Good luck on your challenge!

Join the contest, it will motivate us all
