Some people on this board live in the snow belt and have to get to work. others live in places like Chatham and don’t have to go out if they get a storm. also some vehicles are worse in winter then others. Do they put winter tires on 18wheelers.

For years I never bought winter tires didn’t want them but I bought a truck that if I didn’t put at least 300 lbs of stuff in the box , it had no traction in the winter. I bought a set of winter tires because I had to try something, and it made a huge difference, I had them mounted on cheap steel rims Putting away my nice aluminum rims for the winter kept them in perfect condition and even more important the winter tires are cheaper then my summer tires So I only wear out my expensive tires for half a year meaning they last twice as long. So buying winter tires save me money in the long run and makes driving in the winter safer. Win win in my books

pretty sweet if new in 2010 and it cost >> 60K back then.

Ya and we all know about opinions.

I looked for hours for these yesterday. I can't help but laugh at our little dinky doo tv and the VCR on top of it. We had a bigger tv in the 70s, much bigger house too LOL. My boy Harvey wanting a treat, as usual.

You're not alone Glen.

Merry Christmas. I hope I catch a fish this year.

Hey David, thank you and the same goes out to you. It doesn't appear as though you are lacking in the lunker department. Thanks for the well wishes.

Like I said, if you like them, fill your boots, but everyone has their own opinion

I doubt you'll get many people agreeing with that, Just the fact that snow tires stop much better in winter conditions is enough reason to have them. Just because you don't think you need them doesn't mean they shouldn't be used. I wouldn't even get up my driveway without snow tires on my car.

I don't need to have the government tell me what to do. I'm in my 60s and have never had winter tires and as long as my tires are in good shape with good tread I don't need winter tires. You want winter tires, that's fine with me, I've got no problem with that. I'm just tired of other people's opinions being thrust upon everyone just because they think they are right BTW, I drive over 30k a year, I used to drive 60 k a year. Never had an accident caused by snow or cold.

My tires are top of the line, my brakes are really good, how's your insurance?

Nice to see you posting on the board Darrin, I am sure you'll meet up with some really great people on here!

Sometimes peoples decisions are on the wrong side of smarts and when they want to drive around without the proper equipment then they should stay off the roads and leave it safer for the rest of us that do have smarts.

"I'm a firm believer in winter tires" I'm a firm believer that it's your decision and just because it's your decision doesn't mean it's a decision that everyone makes. I also think the government is involved in too much of our life. They can't even manage themselves.

Welcome aboard!

Hi my name is Darrin Bond and I live in Riverwood Park on the Scugog River in Lindsay, I'm 44. I love fishing, playing hockey, cards, golf and most sports. I would like to meet up with others in the area that share similar interests.

Yes sir! Hope you have a great season!

Greeting fellow anglers, this is my 1st post on the Ontario Fishing Community forum and thanks for lettings me join and Merry Christmas to all. My favorite lake is the stunning and very remote Lake Nipigon in NWO. Just curious who else targets this wonderful lake? It sits just north of highway 11, never warming up past mid fifties and is a natural wonder with the cliffs, bluffs and raw beauty looking like it was just scrapped up by the glaciers. It can be a big fish lake with record lake (60 lb.+) and brook trout (14lb.+) In the shallows are big pike and tasty walleyes. The lake has special rules to limit damage with only a single barbless hook (can be treble) allowed and special limited creel limits. Also the land surrounding the lake is all crown land with the few cabins only on little Orient bay in the southeast corner being the only exception. Not a lake to be taken lightly with it's being a giant bowl of 60-some by 40-some miles in size. It's daunting the feeling of being alone in an amazing wilderness but also a dangerous one, be prepared. I won't fish it if the winds up to or over 12 mph, or even 10 mph for a northwest wind. Have fished parts of the northeand southeast parts of the laast ke, barely scratched the surface. Only Canada could have a lake like this. What's been your experience fishing on the big lake? Thanks for letting me post.

Wishing everyone here a HAPPY "HAWG"liday & Hopes for lots of lunkers in the NEW YEAR!

Merry Christmas, to you and family.

And a Merry Christmas to you & yours too Barry !!

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all my friends here on the Ontario Fishing Community and their families.
