Seems my son has a few buddy's that want some . Since there is no ice on my grounds,stay home and tie . These guys want ugly,not store bought purty. I said,you asked the right guy.LOL All are weighted with 15 wraps of .025 lead free wire. Biots are natural color from a goose shot by a buddy. #6 3x long shank Mustad. Wire is from the dollar store. Dubbing is variety of Phoenix peacock , Wabbit hares ear and berry fish dope in black 2 are peacock hearl . Casing is from the same wing as the goose biot. I have another 30 to make. Ran out of hooks. Waiting for my order from Cabelas.

Been a while........

Going to have to respectfully disagree.These two measures are part of the safety trifecta we need to adhere to. Masking is what has proven (along with strong test and trace) to be one measure that is proven to work (based on numbers etc). All you need to do is look at South Korea and Taiwan. Aerosols are the big factor and masks are the first line of defense against aerosols. Stay safe everyone

Thanks

Cooks bay you can in spots. Virginia Beach people are getting out. I have not heard any reports from Beaverton yet and I have not heard if hut rentals have any out yet.

Lovely ones. You should start posting on Instagram. I can help you with that.

Those will catch!

The thing is you can do this.

Bill Norman and a salt version .

Older Storm lures didn't have the stepped bill like that, it looks more like a Norman Deep Little N ?

Tough fish for those stocked bows LOL !!so needed a confidence boost closer to home. Headed out for some eyes and connected with some beauty’s Rippin rattle spoons and minnow heads . Aggressive jigging .... Mark a fish ..... slow it right down . Kept a smaller one for the pan .The Big girls went back down the hole . Let’s hope the ice starts tightening up with some cold temps , spud bars really getting a workout !

sounds amazing congrats on the move!

Congratulations Yes post pictures of your adventures

Amazing ties

Looks deadly 👍 Are the wire wraps from dollarama? If so do you have a pic of the package?

Well im a self employed contractor and the wife works in a pharmacy. So were thinking a 30 min radius of the Truro area...We REALLY like the five islands area for a possible cottage location..

You are an artista.

I dumped their asses years ago and wouldn't go back if it was free. Xplornet is another bad one.

I know what you mean; I've had a few different huts out there. Usually stayed between Thorah and Georgina islands, in or hopefully on the perch grounds. Didn't even think of taking my sleeper hut out last year. For 3 years prior to that I spent extended weekends out on the ice. On a Saturday and Sunday, I'd fish with family; when they left I'd be on my own and enjoyed every minute of it. Stayed for a week once during February. Knew I had enough provisions, propane for the RV furnace and the generator was full of gas to keep my batteries charged. A whole week to myself and time to ponder where the cancer I was diagnosed with was to take me. Great therapy got my head around it and came through it clear of the disease. Not saying the solitude cured it by any means; but got my head in the right place to fight it. During the times out there I also had the chance to meet a few other people; mostly walkers. This one couple I saw walking towards the hut, looked half froze. He had his arm around his wife's shoulder as to shield her. When they were close enough I called them over and asked if they'd like to come in and warm up; which they did. It took them some time to stop shivering; but after a couple cups of hot soup and the furnace cranked up they were fine. Got them bundled back up in their gear and the three of us road back to shore on my quad. I have not seen them since but do get a text form them during Xmas time. Another time a guy had his snowmobile breakdown a few hundred yards away form the hut. He said it had done this before and after letting it to cool down it would likely fire up for him. So he put up his pop up and went fishing. (Bugger caught more fish then me. LOL) A few hours later I heard him trying to start the sled; but not even a misfire was happening. It was also late afternoon and the light was dimming. Told him he was welcome to stay in the hut for the night and have something to eat and a bed. That we'd try the sled again in the morning. He agreed and we had a good meal and then got into my 60 of rye. Lets just say we both slept well that night. LOL The next morning, hungover like bears we towed his sled back to Beaverton. Sorry for the long post; but as I started typing; I started reminiscing. Dan.

Yeah, it's nice to have these old pictures to look back on years later.

Back in the day my Dad used to tow my brother and I across Simcoe on a toboggan behind his truck on the way to the fishing grounds. Don't know for sure when this picture of my bro & me was taken but sometime in the 50's.

I have no prob with those who bend the rules a little bit while taking reasonable measures----not everybody drives 100 km or below on the 401. Where I have a prob is with those who blatantly defy the rules, refuse to wear masks, have big parties etc. What really burns is when they get off with a slap on the wrists or nothing at all as happened at Trinity Bellwoods etc.
