Good Online Fishing boards?

[DonP]

Does anyone have any good online fishing boards to recommend?

I've had spotty luck finding any reliable boards. A lot of them seem to have just a few posts that may be two or three years old.

It seems funny that I can find an answer to what kind of powder to use for reloading for target shooting in 30 seconds, but can't find out what or where the walleye are biting or any information on specific lake patterns.

I'm interested in primarily Midwest sites and Western Ontario, but I'm sure there are folks here that fish saltwater too.

1. Bass Fishing Home Page

The forum software they use is horrible, but the folks there are knowledgeable. The board, as the name suggests is focused on bass fishing, but if that's your thing I've yet to find a better spot on teh interwebs.

The state specific fishing reports can be pretty handy too.

2. Try a state's fish & game dept....

I use Texas Parks and Wildlife's fishing report which weekly updates major water bodies, rivers, creeks, the Gulf.

Other states may have something similar. Good luck.
