1) Depends on the body of water. In moving water I will use shiners because the die so quickly and the running water adds some movement to them. In the still water/hard water I will use suckers or muddlers, they will live forever.
2) 2-3inch
3) I am glad to see that the Leafs finally recognized that it was time to rebuild. This is the first time in a long time we did not receive a rental player nor did we give up any draft picks. We actually got some!!! So, in my humble estimation, I think the Leafs had a good trade deadline day.
Adios,
