A fish will change colours depending on the habitat they are in. You can catch one in the river that looks pale but put it into a dark live well for a bit and it will look totally different..

Buy a solar panel and charge controller...

I used to have a cottage on the irondale river above 3 brothers falls.. It was awesome to snorkel below the falls.. Lots of small muskie around along with smallies and the biggest logs you could imagine..

Personally I haven't had problems with him but I know a few locals who aren't too happy with the threats of being towed... I think if you follow the rules you are ok, plus parking up the hill ensures that your vehicle won't be messed with...

I can see why Rob doesn't want anyone parking down the hill because it can get crowded.. The problem I have is he treats it like he is the owner.. He is not and he can't restrict access or fishing or have you towed for parking there... My buddy was fishing the same area but a week or two earlier.. Same results with the trout. They figured it was too early..

yes it should be the goal of every landfill and when you move onto the reservation hopefully they will be far ahead of what happens off reserve... When you bury crap you no longer see it but it will come back to haunt you eventually.. As outdoors people we should all be concerned about preserving mother Earth...

no disrespect, but shouldn't a dump on or around the reserve try to divert as much as humanly possible??. They should be the leaders in waste diversion...

I could use a few more Plano boxes but it isn't life or death.. My old ones have latches that are breaking off... I will give the frogs a test soon..

We wanted to move this year but it isn't looking good for that.. A place we could afford 2 years ago when it was for sale is back on the market for 400 grand more. I will always regret not buying that one.. 50 acres and a beautiful house.. Oh well, you should do well on the sale.. Simcoe has some nice places for a decent price...along with Waterford, Caledonia etc...

Ha!!.. That's funny..

Some awesome fish.. Wow

I never pay more than $10..if I was a Musky fisherman I would have to make my own I guess.. Most of my limited time on the water involves jigs .

I love my sportspal.. I just patched up a few leaks and it's ready to go. Mine has 2 pointed ends which is fine with a good motor mount. The 2hp Yamaha is nice and light so it doesn't cause the canoe to tilt too much.. If it was up to me I would have a wide transom as well and use whatever one works best for where I am going to fish.. I definitely wouldn't want to carry a wide transom very far through the woods.. The only mod I am plan on doing this year is to add a removable carrying yoke..

In Hamilton the lifespan of the dump has been extended by at least 20 years by limiting what goes in. We are only allowed one bag a week but unlimited recycling and compost/leaf bags. You get 18 extra tags for additional bags over and above your one a week limit. Our transfer station will take oil, batteries, propane tanks, tires, appliances, light bulbs, electronics, tires etc etc for nothing. A dump is a toxic mess that leaches crap into the ground water and methane into the air. Ours generates electricity from the off gassing to reduce emissions. Farms around the dump have poor water wells due to the constant pumping of contaminated water that is sent to be treated. Anyone with cows have had to get out of the business due to water issues. All of our old dumps have to be monitored for leachate and methane decades after closing. There's good reason to limit and monitor what goes in.. You wouldn't want one in your neighbourhood..

Sportspal has a motor mount that they sell with a canoe but I find them a little weak for my 2hp . I use an aftermarket mount that's a little heavier to carry but it's sturdy.. I can't post pictures right now though. If I was going to put an electric motor on I wouldn't use a box for the battery.

Water settles to the bottom.. Just pour off the gas until you see water.. Don't use it in a boat though..

That's amazing.. We don't have spots like that in my area anymore.. sadly.. I love fishing shallow wood for crappie.. They just stack up and hang out..

I pass a half dozen Dollarama stores just running my errands... I guess I will leave extra time when I can..

I remember the last Dollarama item.. The $3 Plano box.. Long gone now!! If you are interested in these get them while you can.. Lol

We are getting a storm warning in Hamilton but I don't see anything on the radar... Yet.. Lol

Worked 3 twelve hour shifts...

The harbour is stilted in so there's not much water.. The Niagara Conservation Authority now owns it. I am not sure if it's happened yet but the plan is to provide a canoe launch..

My wife loves the smoked salmon I make.. There's a lot of work involved when you have a smoker with a side box like mine.. It's very hard to control the temperatures if it's windy or cold outside and if you go over 180 degrees for any length of time you get too much albumin which is coagulated protein. Not harmful but it just means that you went too hot, too soon.. A Bradley with temp control would be ideal but I like cutting my own wood for the smoker ... There are utube videos explaining how to make your own pucks for a Bradley... Hmm

Where there's one crappie, there's bound to be more!!

Be aware of some sections of the highway that have no cell service. You won't have any between Hearst and Longlac and it will be spotty after that until Geraldton. We found service along the highway near the river past the tractor tire road and near the intersection of hwy 11 and the 801 before you head north into the bush.. Be very careful of the log haulers on the 801, they pretty much have priority on the roads. You will have to slow to almost a stop when one passes due to the dust.. Quite often there will be another following... My buddy is heading up at the end of the month to fish and scout for moose..his brother has a trap line south of the ORR..
