That's the type of question that you can not get answered (at least not properly) here. You will have try harder with the MNR, and even then they may not want to give you an answer, because of the "greyness" of it. Be prepared to get "bounced around" a bit on the phone. Good luck.

The silence from some of the early post bashers is deafening, isn't it? Nice fish.

Sorry guys. If you don't think the biologists or the work of the MNR and or COs are not slammed here on a semi-regular basis, you haven't been reading many of the posts. There is a dig a few posts above this one. BTW, lack of funding leads to staff not being out "in the field".

As someone who has worked for Conservation Authorities in the past, this might interest me more than others, but what the heck. Some web sites about Hurricane Hazel in 1954. http://archives.cbc.ca/environment/extreme...ther/topics/77/ http://www.hurricanehazel.ca/ http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/ind...s=A1ARTA0003923 http://images.google.ca/images?hl=en&r...ved=0CCgQsAQwAw

It all depends on how long a lead you use. You might have to experiment a little. Three to 6 feet of line back from the three-way or bottom bouncer might be a good place to start.

When me and my brother were kids we used to use small trout flies or just a small hook and a worm to catch all manner of frog back in the day. Don't know much about those rods but they were probably fiberglass matched with spinning reels and 8lb mono.

That's the type of crap that feels like a million needles. Not much fun.

And she did it without any coloured nail polish.

By blending multiple snapshots of a landscape taken over a period of time, photographer Scott McFarland challenges traditional ideas of representation Marsha Lederman Vancouver — From Thursday's Globe and Mail Published on Wednesday, Oct. 07, 2009 5:25PM EDT Last updated on Friday, Oct. 09, 2009 2:13AM EDT Looking at one of Scott McFarland's panoramic photographs, you get the sense that something is awry. The shadows fall in different directions. One tree might be budding, another bare, another in its full autumnal glory. The same person appears in two different locations. If these clues suggest the image can't be real, think again. For McFarland, this panoramic scene is closer to reality than any single snapshot could convey. His photograph does not represent a moment in time. It's a collection of moments. “ A lot of my images represent the kind of entropy of the built environment. And so from a photographic point of view, I'm drawn to objects and structures that are in the later phase of that entropy rather than the early phase. ” More than 60 of his works have been installed at the Vancouver Art Gallery at the just-opened exhibition Scott McFarland. The artist creates his landscapes by returning to the same location and photographing it repeatedly over a period of time, then blending the results into one composite. To further complicate matters, he creates several versions of the photograph and calls them editions. In the case of Orchard View with the Effects of the Seasons , the artist returned to the same plot of land and took photos over a three-year period. “When you're in the same spot with your camera and you position it the same as it was a couple of days before, you are able to see more of the place. And you begin to think: Why is that representation of the space from the day before the [correct] one and not this moment that's happening too?” McFarland said as the show was being installed. “And so what I have come to do, because I photograph in a place over a period of time, is see it in different ways. I think about how certain parts of it are interesting at certain times, and then other parts [are interesting], and then I try to bring them together.” Originally from Vancouver but now living in Toronto, McFarland, 33, was taught at the University of British Columbia by some of the masters of contemporary photography: Jeff Wall, Roy Arden and Mark Lewis. “They gave me the tools to go off and develop my own ideas.” McFarland has a particular interest in capturing not necessarily the ephemeral, but certainly the endangered. Orchard View , for example, features a couple of old sheds on a large overgrown plot of land in the tony Vancouver suburb of Point Grey. With its million-dollar location, he knew as he was creating the work that the piece of land was far too valuable to remain vacant for long. Indeed, the land has since been cleared and a giant new estate built. The wild emptiness caught by McFarland's camera has disappeared. “A lot of my images represent the kind of entropy of the built environment. And so from a photographic point of view, I'm drawn to objects and structures that are in the later phase of that entropy rather than the early phase,” McFarland says. “I just think that [older structures and objects] photograph better. The detail on them and the patina and the aging effect also makes for interesting photographic qualities.” And so his photos feature aging boathouses, sugar shacks and photo labs – which became a subject of intense interest for McFarland around 2000 when it became clear to him that digital photography was going to triumph over traditional photography. This exhibition features two lab exteriors – one in Vancouver, and one in Los Angeles. Both businesses have since shut down. He is perhaps best known for his pastoral photographs, represented in part in this exhibition by his Hampstead Heath series, for which the British Romantic painter John Constable served as an influence. The London park was a favourite subject of Constable's, in particular the sky over the park. McFarland too pays great attention to the sky over the heath. And sometimes he revisits Constable's subjects (as in The Admiral's House, as Seen from the Upper Garden at Fenton House ). But the similarities extend beyond subject matter. While exploring what would become his Hampton Heath series, McFarland happened to come across three different versions of the Constable painting Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop's Grounds – all in one week. McFarland noticed slight variations in the works. The sky, for example, was different. He did some research and learned that there were four commissions of the 1823 work – and four different ideas about it. Constable paid heed and created four variations of the same painting. McFarland has employed the same idea – not to satisfy patrons, but himself. So at the VAG, two versions of Orchard View with the Effects of the Seasons are installed, one beneath the other. It is clearly the same plot of the land, the same photograph. But it doesn't take long to notice the differences: the colours of the leaves, the cloud formations in the skies. Where other photographers issue numbered editions of their work, McFarland creates numbered variations. Each edition is a unique work of art. Scott McFarland is at the Vancouver Art Gallery until Jan. 3 (www.vanartgallery.bc.ca ).

18lb nine month old next to his first turkey (21lb)... I just hope he leaves me some

I don't buy that for a second....Do these jeans make my look fat?

Here are a few of mine, all from Algonquin:

Didn't the stuff from your parents liqueur cabinet taste better? My friend's booze also tastes better.

Different options for different jigs situations. If you are using bait you can tie the trailer to the hook bend. I even do this if I'm using "plastic" worms for walleye. If you are using some form a plastic body you either need to tie to the jig eye or another "eye" if the jig comes with one. As stated tying your own allows you to very the length to suit you and the conditions. Some people like to go with heavier line so that it is stiff. The treble or single hook would depend on how snaggy things are and whether you think the fish are hook shy. Sharpen your main and trailer hooks.

Sounds like you want/need rubber felt lined boots or maybe hip waders. Get them a bit big (you're not walking much) for your warm socks, but don't stuff the boot too much because the space/air inside is what will help keep your feet warm.

Give him a float reel and I bet he becomes as big a dink as the rest of us in less than 4 drifts.

Coming soon to a Lake O trib??? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/in-photos/b...article1315663/

I won't recommend a pair but I'll put some questions out there for you that might steer you in the right direction. Will you be walking a lot in them? 2plus kms at at time, and how often? Deep snow? Wet conditions? How cold? How ruff is the terrain? Using snowshoes? Using snow machine? Maybe at better question would be what are you mostly going to be doing in them?

http://www.thebarrieexaminer.com/ArticleDi....aspx?e=2089731 Posted 7:00am Oct 8/09 THIEVES ENTER 52 BOATS Three teenagers and a 20-yearold man have been charged after 52 boats at the Barrie Marina were broken into Tuesday night. A local resident saw some suspicious males at the city marina around 8 p. m. One male was spotted climbing over the gate and then crawling along the walkway. Officers attended and located a male hiding near a boat and another male inside a vessel. The investigation revealed that the thieves were searching for alcohol and had entered 52 boats in their quest for booze. Four males were arrested, including two 16-year-olds, an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old. They each face 52 counts of break-and-enter, two counts of possession of break-in tools and one count of possession of stolen property. All four suspects were held for bail hearings.

I think I've seen one of those...

Isn't the internet great!!! Date line Peterbourgh... Mule deer push out white tails in Ontario, Cougar numbers up! Another consideration is that it most likely was pitch black (at least for human eyes) when the picture was taken. Most of the predator/prey videos we have seen are filmed in more light, so the stalk/ chase would be different I would think. Also flash photography "freezes" the action so the cougar could have been moving faster than it appears. Neat shot anyway. I would think we'll see more of these as more and more people have, and use, trail cams. Sasquatch next?

I'm the same Terry, I don't like to miss anything. I use the View New Posts function at the top of the page. At least the way I role.

I have no recollection of that (fill-in the blank). Politicians use it all the time. Sometimes is even works.

A few other members have bought products from them and have had good things to say. If you use the search function you should find some of the posts.

Lighten-up? I'm not the one who has attached my masculinity to the success, or lack thereof, to a particular sports team. I love sports, but I do not think for one second that I am superior to someone else solely due to the results of a game. You are also completely wrong about the origins, or meaning, of my "handle", but that is nothing that you are not already used to. Enjoy the season.
