  1. Damn you are good! Terry get your mind orb the g
  2. Glen Haffy is very good for a family outing , my daughter caught her first trout on a family picnic. Even better is the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park in Belfountain. Great for kids! In the fall it's probably at its best in southern Ontario close to the GTA for fall colours. I know, I 'm in Tourism and do the Ontario magazine. Check out the MNR on Urban fishing there are tons of spots. I have a link, but not at home, if you want it. Many years ago there was an amazing place up from you are at Hwy 47 (it may have been renamed) west of 48. I remember it might have been in a York County forest area, amazing speckle trout fishing and actually saw people horseback riding in the forest. I hope it's still there and not a basement. Lots of great places to keep our kids out of trouble. If you need more let me know. I'm hoping to get my grandson out for his first fishing experience next summer.
  3. take your kids to Glenn Haffy Conservation Area for some great trout fishing. Stocked ponds. They will love it.
  4. Bill, Good tough Ontario lad. Probably had more pain following Solo with a canoe on his back for 10 km or fishing the Geen for steelhead and froze his hands off. I've been there.
  5. Bill, that is nasty, if he wasn't out of season you would have made him pay big time - the frying pan! Wrong, you can't eat them . . . Fry him anyway just to get even!
  6. Went to a favorite spot on the pine just as the sun broke, walked in to a beautiful looking hole. Lots of overhang. Took a couple of casts and got follows from under the dead trees (looked promising). Looked to my right and here comes a beaver, I just froze! As he swam by me he slapped his tail so hard it was like a gun going off! Home time!
  7. Many years ago we went to cut wood near Algonquin and I insisted we carry a First Aid kit "what for . . ." It's ok I'll carry it! Sure enough a slip and the chain saw running and slit thigh! I jumped in stopped the bleeding bandaged him of and off to Bancroft I think. Three hours later an OPP officer stopped and asked who took car of him . . . he will be fine. I have no formal training but if need be I do what I can.
  8. Does she tell tou when she buys shoes, make up. . . . No worries mate, she'll get over it after another pair of shoes!
  9. Hope they report that the got their PB!
  10. I'm in the advertising business. Years ago nothing was printed outside Canada or printed from outside. Designed here and printed here! Now most, if not all large advertising agencies are owned by off shore conglomerates or US including mine. Creative is designed and then shipped to Canada, change a few words and goes to print. This was NOT allowed all work had to be Canadian! Our government just giving it away. I don't agree with the new cross border shopping law! I like our American cousins but why make our own retailers suffer. Who came up with that gem?
  11. A fish ripped the prosthesis off his arm, but another fisherman later snagged that same fish A man's experience while fishing in Florida brings new meaning to the one that got away. Wounded Warrior Jack Wiseman was fishing alongside fellow wounded soldiers as part of the Boca Grande tournament on Memorial Day weekend when he hooked a big one. But the fish was too strong and not only swam away with his rod, but also pulled off his prosthetic arm. "All of a sudden the hand snapped off the prosthetic device, still hooked to the rod, and the rod and the reel and the hand went down into the water," said Wiseman to Bay News 9. Fellow Wounded Warrior fisherman Rudy Salas told CBS 12 they thought the whole thing was funny. "You're gonna be a legend, you're the only guy that lost an arm out here yesterday." But Wiseman didn't end up losing the hand forever. Later in the day, another fisherman snagged the same fish and sure enough, Wiseman's rod and hand were still attached. "They brought it back to us," he said to CBS 12. "So that's my fishing story." The eight Wounded Warriors who participated in the event have already been invited back to compete next year.
  12. Let the poor man rest, the portage done him in. Solo needs some soul time.
  13. Did you try the toys I sent you last week?
  14. The Live bait method, Muskie and pike love them!
  15. My best friend is known as the 'spinner man' has been since I've known him 30+ years. . . In a trout river a #3 Mepps is a killer bait . . . have fun with your new toys. A
  16. Yours was probably for the camping doods who portaged into Algonquin looking for specks!
  17. Don't chuck hem out! I have one of these and may take a few, just to see how they sound
  18. With 46 replies (a lot more than some fishing reports), if we all went down we could scare the whole colony, get some fishing in with the carcasses have a fish BBQ. I had one in my shed last year, with what I put down from CT in there, he was almost dust after a few days. That stuff drys them up. I wouldn't use it indoors, too many places to hide after a meal. get all the apples out and supply them with a different menu.
  19. No pike in that lake according to my book. Just bass.
  20. You got to get one of these!
  21. my mom would call us (two brothers) at 6 pm very night! (telemarketer) Mom, don't you have dinner? I ate at 5 pm. called to see of you got home ok .... Thanks all is well ? We MISS THAT CALL after a year. Paid her a visit and then we gathered together and REMEMBERED her with a fine brunch with all of of the grandkids (Irish knows my Sundays) Today, Irish, it was special! Gone for the first year . . .
  22. Just kidding Cliff, Have great day, too bad the new toys haven't arrived yet! Should be there next week. A
