REEL EGG ALTERNATIVES FOR RIVER STEELHEADING
There is no longer a need to kill a steelhead, trout or salmon for its eggs. In this seminar Larry will discuss the many egg (roe) alternatives available today to hook one of these magnificent chrome rockets.
Larry has spent many years improving access and habitat for Ontario’s steelhead. Larry was a director of the Ontario Steelheaders for twenty-eight years. He served as President for the last eighteen years of that tenure.
His contributions have involved assisting in the writing of fisheries regulations; preparing proposals for funding of projects; educating the public, especially school children, about stream restoration and healthy watersheds; improving water quality and quantity; fostering environmental stewardship in communities and individuals; and developing restoration plans for various watersheds throughout Ontario. Larry’s greatest satisfaction comes from working in the stream conducting hands-on aquatic renewal initiatives.
Larry’s passion for fishing comes very naturally and is truly in his blood. Since the age of four, he could be found at his father’s side, on the banks of Big Creek, not only absorbing his dad’s advice and passion of fishing for migrating rainbow trout, but of all outdoors. In the 1950’s and 60’s, Ontario’s outdoor writers referred to his father as “Southern Ontario’s Rainbow Trout King”.
All of these combined efforts provide Larry with the experience and knowledge to understand the needs, characteristics and movement of steelhead and their watersheds.
 
 
PENETRATING STANDING VEGETATION FOR LARGEMOUTH BASS
Largemouth bass love their cover. Standing grass or reeds are home to the largest of largemouth bass. To be successful here, specialized tackle, heavy lines and lures that will penetrate this vegetation are a must. This seminar will help you pull the hawg from these locations.
Larry can be found most summer weekends fishing from his Crestliner Boat looking for smallmouth and largemouth bass mostly in Long Point Bay within Lake Erie. Larry has fished competitively for bass in some of Ontario’s competitive bass circuits since the late 1980’s. He has numerous top finishes including first place in the 2008 Long Point Bay Invitational Bass Tournament.
