I actually had a client of mine using a telescopic Chaos rod this summer and the topic of telescopic rods came up and he commented that he'd like to try one sometime. There is zero downside to telescopic rods - anyone who says there is hasn't used one. The entire line-up of these 20/20 rods telescopic, another feature I love. They are SO light! I went with 9'6" rods - I love longer rods both for casting ease and improved figure 8's. to put it simply, they're the best muskie rod I've ever seen or used. Quick product review - the all new Chaos Assault Stick "20/20" muskie rods. This Minnitaki Lake lake trout is one I'll remember. With the ice season pretty much in the rear view mirror, I'll share a picture of my favourite catch of the season. But rest assured my US friends/clients, as soon as the border opens I'll be ready! I'm prepared to endure another season of no US clients by catering/marketing to Canadian fishermen. This makes it difficult to plan for the upcoming season. There has been no plan or framework provided for when and what the border reopening will look like. The most frustrating part remains that there's no indication/information on WHEN it will reopen. THE BORDER - Nobody in the outfitting/guiding/tourism business is expecting the border to open in time for fishing opener on May 15th. My prediction is that I'll be launching my Lund at deception on May 1st this year. I never stop learning new water to fish, and this is the best time to learn new routes and hazards. With the predicted early ice out and low water levels it should be the perfect year to scout new areas on Lac Seul. Quading around on Minnitaki the last couple weeks, I've seen rocks poking up through the ice that I've never seen before. It's normal for water levels to fluctuate over the course of the year, but things are definitely starting out on the low side. Water levels on all surrounding lakes are low. All signs point to an early ice out on Lac Seul. We didn't get much snow this winter and for the most part it melted by mid-march. Spring arrived early in Sioux Lookout this year.
