  1. what ever breed you choose, make sure you do your research on possible health risks associated with that breed, for instance, labs are prone to certain health risks like cancer, just because of over breeding. i myself have a cross breed, border collie mixed with golden. was an accidental breeding, dad got loose and found momma. hes a wonderful dog, full of energy, has the herding instinct, and has to know where everyone is in the house at all times. goldens also tend to act like puppies for the first 3 years, and then start to calm down. cross breeds tend to live longer than purebreds. a good friend of mine had a poodle,he used it for hunting and retrieving. they aren't the french prissy dogs they are made out to be on TV. he would have gotten another if he didn't discover the chessy, chesapeak bay retriever.
  2. looks like that one will still be open list of stores to be closing Alabama (4) – Gadsden, Mobile, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa Georgia (3) – Augusta, McDonough, Snellville Illinois (3) – Champaign, Algonquin, Springfield Indiana (2) – Merrillville, Greenfield Minnesota (3) – Rogers, Mankato, Woodbury New York (1) – New Hartford North Carolina (2) – Raleigh, South Charlotte Tennessee (1) – Chattanooga Texas (10) – Houston, Killeen, Laredo, Lubbock, Round Rock, San Antonio, Sugar Land, Texarkana, Waco, West Houston West Virginia (1) – Charleston Wisconsin (2) – Eau Claire, Germantown
  3. please me if im wrong, but it seems a lot of reservations suffer from a lot substance abuse, especially further north, and a lack or high school/college education. i know from my personal experience, a lot of natives that i went to elementary school with, didn't make it past grd 10 or 11. that was also around the same time that the Dudley George fiasco happened. whether the drop outs were related to that or not, i don't know. also, nice truck. too bad it has a bow tie on it
  4. good! for now. and yes, i agree, their partners need to actually go down to the river and see whats happening despite all the extra enforcement. don't write threatening letters, get out there and actually do something to help prevent it
  5. you're fine here in Ontario, i think Alberta its illegal though
  6. because those rods are so hard to come by, any joe can go into a tackle shop and buy a 10-15ft rod for $100
  7. looks like a redfish to me
  8. i've seen none english speaking folks do it as well, they eat the eggs, and leave the rest to rot at the very least, take the fish home, feed it to your dog, fertilize your garden,do something with it besides leave it rotting on the bank
  9. Except that above Jocelin st bridge is the sanctuary til the 401 and closed all year, maybe my wording could have been better?
  10. supposed to be getting a cold snap this week....-11 tonight
  11. yes they did. fishing is banned from the dam down to the mouth from 8pm til 6am from mid august to sept 30. mnr probably left it to council to pass as a bylaw because it was too late to change the mnr regs, since the printed versions were already out
  12. problem there is cost, and being able to cover all the possible angles. unless you're up close enough to see, its almost impossible to tell whether or not is was a legal take, or snagged on the gills
  13. well....we don't want them either lol
  14. hopefully with local police finally being trained to enforce mnr regulations, the number of fines will go up
  15. people that come from out of town might spend money in town.im assuming what happens there is this. client books charter, lives 2+ hours away, doesn't want to get up at 2am, drive 2 hours to get there for 5am. most likely the client will drive down the night before, stay the night, maybe go out for dinner, pick up a few drinks and snacks for the next day, go out for his 6 hour charter, then go home. i was talking strictly river fisherman, how much money to they bring directly to port hope. i know for trout, that hotel in welcome is jammed
  16. river fisherman will not spend that much money, not even close. a hotel room for the weekend, stop at tims, maybe lunch/dinner, but thats it. the ones spending money are the charter guides. once the salmon and steelhead leave the river, guess how much money river fisherman spend in port hope. will be next to nothing
  17. the fees? or the people?
  18. no, introducing a fee will not deter anything, it will either push people further north up the river, or somewhere else completely. the reason they go to the ganny, is because those bottom pools in town are extremely accessible, with no obstructions anywhere, leaving those big fish in a very vulnerable situation. personally i think the better solution is a make that section in town, a no kill zone, meaning no keeping anything, including the roe, but that would require mnr to be on board and change it, vs making a town bylaw to restrict access. signs were posted last season warning of illegal fishing actions, they were posted in 3 different languages, none of which were french!
  19. grrrrr.......well my fantasy team goalies just got messed up, have peter budaj and ben bishop, they just got traded for each other to be back ups. budaj has 27 wins!
  20. that is awesome, for years its been a ton of pressure on the 2 CO's to enforce a region. trout opener coincides with turkey opener on the monday. almost impossible to enforce. it only makes sense to join mnr with the local police. would also create jobs for new graduates out of college
  21. there are sections on the ganny that are private lands, and the only to fish them is to either trespass, or pay a membership fee. with the way things are going, the farmers from dale rd to sylvan glen, are just going to post all the land anyway and deny access. they are tired of the mess. if you've never seen the gong show, head down there on a weekend during the peak of the salmon run when they are fresh in.its stupid, and embarrassing to legal fisherman everywhere
  22. what they are trying to do is weed out the illegal fishing during the salmon run. if you've never seen it, its a complete sh!t show. there was one there last year, or the year before, he would throw a rope across a pool, the rope had 5 gaff hooks on it. even though there is the availability of a fish cleaning station on the river, people are gutting and chucking fish and leaving them to rot. i have found 50lb+ mono on the banks,hooks larger than my truck keys, people using downrigger rods with massive reels because they say 'salmon' on them personally, i love fishing the ganny, i really enjoy having an opprotunity to hook into big fish on my fly rod (i don't have a boat to fish lake o with) but i avoid that river at all costs because of all the crap. one CO went down there because he didn't believe the stories. was there for an hour, and could not believe what he was watching. That was the now retired Mitch Phinny, his normal territory didn't extend that far. This photo is one of hundreds of examples: http://blogs.canoe.com/outdoorsguy/fishing/ganny-river-salmon-getting-no-respect/
  23. heres the letter from OFAH to Port Hope https://www.ofah.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/PortHopefishingfeeOFAHletter.pdf
  24. that would be good to see. have them go back to March where they started out.
  25. this is going to get nasty. OFAH has threatened to pull funding/cancel the atlantic salmon stocking in the Ganny as well as possibly cancelling the installation of the new fish counter, if the town puts in the $40 municipal fishing pass
