But but but...you forgot to blur the background, the hordes will be descending soon!!!!!

You can hear how loud it is.

Flossing chinny's in knee high tribs? Atleast it looks like he's going to eat them.

It's nice to see the Globe covering the MNR & it's Atlantic salmon project... "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death & taxes" "There was never a good war nor a bad peace" "I believe I have omitted mentioning that, in my first voyage from Boston, being becalm'd off Block Island, our people set about catching cod, and hauled up a great many. Hitherto I had stuck to my resolution of not eating animal food, and on this occasion consider'd, with my master Tryon, the taking every fish as a kind of unprovoked murder, since none of them had, or ever could do us any injury that might justify the slaughter. All this seemed very reasonable. But I had formerly been a great lover of fish, and, when this came hot out of the frying-pan, it smelt admirably well. I balanced some time between principle and inclination, till I recollected that, when the fish were opened, I saw smaller fish taken out of their stomachs; then thought I, "If you eat one another, I don't see why we mayn't eat you." Ben Franklin was the dood.

I suppose it would do well on a canned cheeseburger? Seriously though, never seen any of this canned bacon. Then again it would probably frighten me as much as a canned cheeseburger. Or those ABC Vietnam era rations the Forces had to deal with.

AAAAAAALLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously though, this is nothing new. Go swimming under your boat with your sonar on.

It's just shocking how many ignorant, uninformed, downright backward & inbred anglers there are out there who just don't appreciate a good sunfish....errr bass.

I've seen bows hit bottle caps in the rivers, I don't see why tubes wouldn't work if you catch them in the right mood. They're not exactly the toughest fish to get a hit from.

Stop catching so many 30's and the numpties will stop coming out of the woodwork Look at it this way, you haven't made it tournament fishing until somebody starts calling you a cheat!

You have to go to the specialty stores and pickup the fancy imported Dijon ketchups...

That's my fault, anytime I find a beer I like it soon disappears from the shelves from our overpriced, unionized gov't monopoly stores. Aaargh. Now that the provincial gov't has pretty much devastated the corner store with their war on tobacco, they could atleast open up the option for some depanneurs, like other more civilized provinces.

Lol :lol: :lol: It's definitely been a hard scratch season in the west end, atleast that fish still looks fairly fresh. Every one I've seen this week have been sliding towards the "boot" category.

They're even more ornery in the spring sitting on their nests. Watched a mamma swan take apart a raccoon that tried to sneak an egg, wasn't a wise move on his part.

LOL, it's a Sunfire he just jacked off a boulder with pieces from an old dock he found laying around, I don't think it's lived a babied life. Hell the only advantage to having a Sunfire is that your buddy can do his best to drown the thing and it really doesn't bother you that much Heck he may have trying to do you a favour in giving you an excuse to upgrade!

Wychwood Black Wych stout. What's the matter lager boys, afraid you might taste something?

Consider another river. Worst season at Bronte in 20 years. I thought last year was bad, I didn't know bad until this season.

Whisky, cigars & salmon...don't mess with me

I've seen Scotty's crack & fall apart when they get abused, but they're fine for small fish. Been using these this season and lub dem, they still flex a touch trolling Dipsy's for Kings but lightyears ahead of Scotty's. Best plastic rod holder out there, but still not quite as strong as Downeasters. http://www.folbe.com/

I wouldn't say few exceptions. Lake Ontario tribs have mostly been ruled as "navigable" due to business interests using them from the 1800's on, but even then there's parcels of land that have private stretches, even on larger rivers like the Bronte & Credit. Once you're up to GBay then almost always the riverbed is private also. It would depend on what stretch of the Notty the OP was on, if it was a smaller trib odds are there are private stretches. Only way to tell for sure is to look up the deed, a local real estate agent can help determine ownership fairly easily.

Coldwater is almost all in private hands, except for some slower deeper runs in the lower river.

Cohiba's aren't the original, but at one time they were the most prized. Originally they were the personal blend of Castro and were given away as favoured gifts, not available for general sale. The absolute bestest stogie on the face of the planet (according to an unofficial panel of one) is a Hoyo de Monterrey double corona. But retail they'll run you $50 a stick. Really it depends on the tastes of whomever you're buying it for, Macanudo's & Hoyo's will be milder, Romeo's will be spicy, Cohiba's are somewhere in between. As a flyer there's a guy in Toronto that imports Cuban leaf and rolls pretty consistent and tasty stogies. You can even get the bands personalized. http://www.correnticigars.com/

It's my Seakitten!

Gerber multi-tool has turned into a must have, tough little tool.

None, Pacific Salmon don't respond well to genetic tinkering. That's why almost all commercial aquaculture is centered around rainbows & atlantics. Using classical Mendellian genetics to grow bigger pea pods is one thing, once you start monkeying around with chromosomes it's quite another.

Nobody else remember Doug Hannon's Swimming Worm from the 80's? It does work, the only trick is making sure the head of the worm stays centered in the axis of rotation.
