Freshwater Fishes of Canada also mentions that the wound left by the Silver Lamprey is smaller, relative to the sea lamprey, and a single wound is not likely to cause "death in any large heavily scaled fish that it might attack" but on "burbot and catfish they often penetrate the body wall and kill the individual".

Had to dig up a text book. Freshwater Fishes of Canada lists 9 species of lamprey in Canada, two types in Nipissing. Northern Brook Lamprey: non-parasitic Silver Lamprey: parasitic Dr. Salvelinus would be the best one on this board, that I am aware of, if you have more questions.

Some are parasitic but not all. The sea lamprey gets most of the attention because it is not native to the great lakes and hit the big game fish hard once it arrived.

Many different types of native lamprey.

Definitely playoff experience, even a bad one, can be beneficial. I'm just not interested in giving up futures for squeaking in at this stage.

Ashton is a forward.

That's funny because I hate when fans use "we" when refering to teams.

I'm interested in winning cups, not barely making the playoffs. Best leave that to those who are satisfied with mediocrity.

I have a 300 dsv and love it. But I'm not sure if I'll get another curado because I don't like the changes they've made. I always compare a reel to the equivalent shimano but for me the curado doesn't do it at its price point.

It's true. Sugar melts in the rain.

http://m.thebarrieexaminer.com/articleDisplay.aspx?e=3483553 INNISIFIL - Elisa French thought about cancelling the annual Fishing for Tyler Ice-Fishing derby. It's named for her 15-year old son Tyler, who has Autism Spectrum Disorder, and raises funds to help offset the cost of therapy for the Innisfil family. With thin ice offshore at Innisfil Beach Park for the Winterfest weekend, cancellation seemed likely. "The weather isn't co-operating. The ice isn't co-operating," Elisa said - but the support from the Ontario Fishing Community was still there, and the family was urged to hold the annual event. "I thought we'd have to cancel it, but the people wanted it. They were willing just to come out and pull up lawn chairs, and talk about fishing! It's all for Tyler." Fishing for Tyler went ahead as planned on Saturday, but instead of fishing off Innisfil Beach Park, anglers signed in, then headed south to safe ice, in the Lefroy-Gilford area - coming back for the weigh-in and prizes. Numbers were down, however. "Last year was the most we've had - 180," said Elisa. This year, about 70 anglers signed up, but "whatever we make is fine. We don't have a goal. We appreciate the help."?And with that help, she said, "Tyler improves every year. "He's doing amazing. He's talking in sentences." Now in High School, Tyler is showing great progress, especially in computers and math, Elisa said. Tyler was on hand to congratulate the winner of the fishing derby - Erin Szabo, who brought in an 11 3/4" perch, the largest fish of the day. "It is what it is," said a beaming Elisa French, joined by her family. "We're happy, whether it's 25 or 100 people" - it was all for Tyler.

Way cheaper then bait.

I don't have a clue, but the staff would be the last to know.

I wonder if we are getting all the information. Most people hold a knife with their blocker hand.

I really think you should keep your goat.

bps will have the supreme on sale for $30 off plus you can save another $25 if you bring in a reel during their trade-in sale. Check their web site for details and flyer. BTW I really like my supreme that I picked up last year but, I also have a stradic that is 20 years old that works just as well as the day I bought it.

We are laughing... But we're not laughing with you.

You haven't been paying attention it's laffs. Come on.

No, but its gonna be your second lowest

Yep

8th day, 4 th game

This year bps has a rod trade-in deal similar to the reel trade-in. Don't remember them doing that in the past in Canada.

Stats, stats and darn lies. The numbers are interesting but need a grain of salt. Are the levels up because instead of snow there was rain? How far down were the levels drawn down in the fall?

My headache seems to be going away.

Time to check the basement. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/mans-childhood-comic-collection-fetches-35-million/article2346845/ Man’s childhood comic collection fetches $3.5-million DALLAS— The Associated Press Published Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012 7:13PM EST Last updated Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012 7:22PM EST The bulk of a man's childhood comic book collection that included many of the most prized issues ever published sold at auction Wednesday for about $3.5-million. A copy of Detective Comics No. 27, which sold for 10 cents in 1939 and features the debut of Batman, got the top bid at the New York City auction Wednesday. It sold for about $523,000, including a buyer's premium, said Lon Allen, managing director of comics for Heritage Auctions, the Dallas-based auction house overseeing the sale. “This really has its place in the history of great comic book collections,” said Allen, who added that the auction was high energy, with “a bunch of applause at a couple of the top lots.” Action Comics No. 1, a 1938 issue featuring the first appearance of Superman, sold for about $299,000; Batman No. 1, from 1940, sold for about $275,000; and Captain America No. 2, a 1941 issue with a frightened Adolf Hitler on the cover, brought in about $114,000, Mr. Allen said. Among the 345 well-preserved comics bought decades ago by the Virginia boy with a remarkable knack for picking winners were 44 of The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide's top 100 issues from comics' golden age. “It was amazing seeing what they went for,” said Michael Rorrer, who discovered his late great-uncle Billy Wright's collection last year while cleaning out his late great aunt's house in Martinsville, Va., following her death. Opening up a basement closet, Mr. Rorrer found the neatly stacked comics that had belonged to Wright, who died in 1994 at age 66. “This is just one of those collections that all the guys in the business think don't exist any more,” Mr. Allen said. Experts say the collection is remarkable not only for the number of rare books, but also because the comics were kept in such good condition for half a century by the man who bought them in his childhood. “The scope of this collection is, from a historian's perspective, dizzying,” said J.C. Vaughn, associate publisher of Overstreet. Most comics from the golden age – the late 1930s into the 1950s – fell victim to wartime paper drives, normal wear and tear and mothers throwing them out, said Mr. Vaughn. Of the 200,000 copies of Action Comics No. 1 produced, about 130,000 were sold and the about 70,000 that didn't sell were pulped. Today, experts believe only about 100 copies are left in the world, he said. Mr. Allen said that 80 of the lesser-valued comics from the collection will be sold in an online auction Friday that's expected to bring in about $100,000. Mr. Rorrer, of Oxnard, Calif., got half his great-uncle's collection and his mother took the other half to give to his brother Jonathan in Houston. Mr. Rorrer, 31, said he didn't realize their value until months later, when he mentioned the collection to a co-worker who mused that it would be quite something if he had Action Comics No. 1. “I went home and was looking through some of them, and there it was,” said Mr. Rorrer, who then began researching the collection's value in earnest. Once Mr. Rorrer realized how important the comics were, he called his mother, Lisa Hernandez, of League City, Tex., who still had the box for his brother at her house. The two then went through their boxes, checking comic after comic off the list. Ms. Hernandez said it really hit her how valuable the comics were when she saw the look on Mr. Allen's face when the auction house expert came to her house to look through the comics. “It was kind of hard to wrap my head around it,” Mr. Allen said. The find was a complete surprise for the family, and it is unclear if Ruby Wright was aware of the collection's significance. Mr. Rorrer said he remembers her making only one fleeting reference to comics: Upon learning he and his brother liked comic books, she said she had some she would one day give them. He said his great-uncle never mentioned his collection. Mr. Allen, who called the collection “jaw-dropping,” noted that Mr. Wright “seemed to have a knack” for picking up the ones that would be the most valuable. The core of his collection is from 1938 to 1941. Ms. Hernandez said it makes sense that her uncle – even as a boy – had a discerning eye. The man who went to the College of William and Mary before having a long career as a chemical engineer for DuPont was smart, she said. And, she added, Mr. Wright was an only child whose mother kept most everything he had. She said that they found games from the 1930s that were still in their original boxes. “There were some really hard to find books that were in really, really great condition,” said Paul Litch, the primary grader at Certified Guaranty Company, an independent certification service for comic books. “You can see it was a real collection,” Mr. Litch said. “Someone really cared about these and kept them in good shape.”
