Are you referring to actual Channel Cats or Bullhead/ mudpout/barbot? A lot of folks refer to bullhead as catfish when that's actually not the proper name.

Yea I pick a lot of fiddleheads too, my first batch of Wild Country Cream Soup is one the highlights. Pretty sure I shared that recipe here before.

Yahoo, my favourite sign of spring is right on schedule for around here. Just took this pic beside the house in a nice warm little hollow where they get real thick. I can hardly wait to get eating them fresh from the ground, it's hard to be patient when it comes to these spring treats.

For those that haven't seen it yet, that jerk involved in the boat rage incident has been arrested and is paying for his actions with loss of business among other things. Looks good on him, he deserves everything he gets. Can't post the video here as there's too much cursing involved so I'll just post the link https://www.wideopenspaces.com/boat-captain-apologizes-after-being-arrested-for-threatening-to-beat-young-fisherman-and-jumping-on-his-boat/ Here's the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO2BRZfYcRo

Could you not just remove the old bolt and bring it into a hardware specialty store?

Couldn't agree more about Clapton, if I could only ever listen to one artist for the rest of my life it would be him hands down.

I too was a huge fan of Yes, I had at least 5 of their albums, the first one being Close to the Edge. I even had the Rick Wakeman album Six Wives of Henry the Eighth. Lol I never figured I'd be seeing comments here about partying with Sid, I was well acquainted with him too but never went overboard on it. Anyone remember windowpane?

Lol, a buddy of mine just posted this on FB.

I was going to say earlier if you knew any hunters they would have been happy to sit over the carcass, hides are in prime shape.

I think Champagne would compliment that wood grain better

Not much info here at all except for depth. https://www.lioapplications.lrc.gov.on.ca/fishonline/Index.html?viewer=FishONLine.FishONLine&locale=en-CA&extent=-8715677.735296678%2C5575923.575620651%2C-8709706.092461742%2C5579133.930808714&layers=0vBHO%2F1aoGjj0OzgHB3B6Jhu3LBcJ230AslE&waterbody=17-7162-49553

That's a bummer for sure, specially with poor fishing to boot. Don't be shy though, put the operator's name out there so others will know better.

It's blues night for sure. It's not often I won't take the original version of most hits but this version of Dylan's Tangled up in Blue takes the tune to a new level and transforms it into a wonderful blues version.

Here's a live concert from Tedeschi Trucks band with a 12 player ensemble doing a great cover of Clapton's Keep on Growing. 3 piece brass and 3 piece chorus. 1.5M views gives you an idea of their popularity and why they're considered one of the best blues bands in the world. Note the dual drummers just like the Allman Brothers always did.

Speaking of blues guitarists I just spent the last 2 hours listening to more of them. This tune here has to rate as one of the top instrumentals of all times with two of the top blues guitarists. Dickie Betts, one of the founding members of the Allman Brothers and sole lead guitarist after the death of Duane Allman in'71. Since then Warren Haynes seen here joined the group to get back to two guitarists. Later on Derek Trucks, another top guitarist joined in 1999. In 2011 he was rated at no.16 of the top 100 of all time. He is the nephew of original drummer Butch Trucks and just about any big blues rock shows you'll see him playing along side all the best. If you are into guitar based blues check out the Tedeschi Trucks band, formed in 2010 with his wife Susan, she can really belt out the blues.
