| Not all animals with the word fish in their names count as fish. |
| Though their names may suggest otherwise, cuttlefish, starfish, and jellyfish aren’t actually fish. Generally-speaking, fishes must have skulls, gills, and fins. Surprisingly, though, not all fishes have proper spines. |

| Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

My son & I spent 4 days (7/1-7/5/02) at Green Island Lodge (www.greenislandlodge.com) on Ontario's Upper Manitou Lake, and are happy to report good populations of fish and steady action. Most active were Smallmpouth bass in the 2-4 pound class, taking mid-running plugs over rock beds and reefs. Northern Pike were spotty at times, but were eventually tagged deep in the (still young) weedbeds of the lake's many sheletered bays (Mepps #5s and Daredevle 'Five Of Diamond' patterns worked best, although we did raise a few to take surface baits late in the day). Lake trout in the 5-10 poundclass have moved deep into the holes post-spawn, but could be found in 65-85 feet of water with red/white Heddon Sonars and Seahawks. These fish also took yellow bucktail jigs, but not as readily or aggressively, leading us to believe the lures' action needed to be pretty violent to incite strikes. My son, Ben, also hooked and landed a 36-inch muskie using a silver Zara Spook on the surface over a shallow reef. Overall, a very rewarding trip, and we'd recommend Green Island Lodge to any angler looking for solid fishing, friendly accomodations and delicious shore lunches -- espciuelly father/son teams.Ask for Vince as your guide and you can't go wrong. My 25th year at the lodge, my son's 3rd. Good fishing to all...
