Nokt cranky, told you I have mono, I think its time to bail out of this thread.
Your answer is still right, it probably wasn't a muskrat. However, muskrats are not strictly vegetarian. They are omnivores. Muskrats prefer plants and given a good food supply will maintain a vegetarian diet but they will and do eat meat if their preferred diet is in short supply.
Sorry for the interruption. Please return to casting aspersions with rub.
Own a bunch of different rods and reels to switch up many varried lures on any given day. I love the choice and different options they provide. That said, if I had to pick only one lure to go out with it would be whatever colour and weight blue fox vibrax spinning lure I thought would work best that day. I have caught everything under the water with that lure using different cast and retrieve techniques.
Wow, you sure have a nice collection of spinners
Today we went fishing the Saugeen, I'm usually a lake guy but was fun fishing the river. What we caught which I never seen before are these large chubs that had like horns on their foreheads. Very weird and very colorful. Caught some speckled nice size on spinners, but one of the locals said that they actually eat these chubs that were at least 10 inches long. Anyone tried these?
Didn't keep any although we were catching a lot.

If you want to eat fish, from a conservation point of view, eat the chubs!
Never tried myself, but a lot of preference when eating fish is based onmsilly prejudice anyway. - go for it
Like this?
Hornyhead chub, Nocomis biguttatus. Endemic to eastern North America, and occurs in the Great Lakes system.
Rub is a Crappie!So if you were a chub rube which would you be....a minnow or an adult?
The information in this thread is a great help. I'm going be getting my late fathers tackle box and IIRS, many of those mentioned are in it as a starter kit. He fished all his life and some of the tackle goes back to the early 50's. Unfortunately the split cane fly rod has mysteriously gone missing. I guess the last person to use it doesn't wan to give it up. C'est la vie. I remember trying it out when I was about 12 and really loved it, but thought the big boots looked silly, soooo.
I noticed not many of the plastic or artificial and chemical stuff was mentioned and that says a lot.

Right now it's worth more to me as it belong to my dad, but I hear ya. I suspect though, since it was well used/loved like many of our toys, they won't be in pristine condition, not even close.
With all the stuff coming from China, why are lures so expensive? You can get a 6000 BTU air conditioner on special for $89. or a computer for $350. The price of almost everything has come down in the last 10 years except for fishing lures. Fishing rods and reels are less expensive today as compared to 10 years ago. Why does Canadian Tire still charge $7 - $8 a friggin lure?
