Depends on what species I'm fishing for and how. If I'm trolling I sometimes don't bother with a leader and just direct tie with the braid. But casting direct tied jerk baits leads to lots of tangles so I'll use fluoro almost as much for its stiffness as for its stealth. The flouro does stand up to pike teeth much better than braid.

Another good one: And how is a page blank if you put something on it?

McDonald's screwed themselves on that one. The family was looking for coverage for medical bills. McD's kept their coffee at near boiling temps so it had a longer "shelf-life". The judge found for the family to cover the medical bill but punished McD's arrogance by also awarding the family some small percent of 1 day's worth of coffee sales which amounted to the millions of dollars.

It's better than any photo that's been offered as "proof" of a wild population in Ontario... and should also give pause for others that would suggest that a photo alone is sufficient proof that there is a wild population.

Link has the photos: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/photographer-dave-sandford-overwhelmed-by-response-to-lake-erie-pictures-1.3358675?utm_content=bufferacac6&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer London, Ont., photographer Dave Sandford is riding a wave — several of them actually — of photographic success. Sandford spent two or three days a week, sometimes putting in six-hour days, photographing the awesome natural power of Lake Erie during a four-week span in November. The end result is a breathtaking gallery of the lake's power and might — and an online response Sandford can't believe. "I have been overwhelmed by the amount of press and orders [for photos]," he said in an email to CBC News. "It's amazing! I have been trying to keep up and just can't." His post entitled Liquid Mountains: I Captured Lake Erie On The Day It Came Alive And Showed Its True Power, uploaded to on the website BoredPanda.com, has been viewed more than 245,000 times. Bored Panda is an online art, design and photography community. He's got even more shots on his Instagram account, @sandfordpix and Facebook page. "Both those are more current than my website, which I am frantically trying to update now that this is all blown up for me," Sandford said.

Useful as long as the same phone is still in my possession next year.

That's exactly what I did as well. The 3 year option is convenient but does cause me some concern in early January sometimes.

Ya, I'm good for another year but a reminder next November/December would be helpful.

You won't get a reminder and many licences will expire on new year's. https://www.ontario.ca/page/renew-replace-or-update-outdoors-card

The link should have the images. In Joy Charbonneau’s artwork Hydrological Map of Canada, first created after three months in development as a limited-edition print in 2011, we see a vast land stripped of imposed borders, latitudinal hierarchies and self-important markings of human settlement, where the interconnected tracery of creeks, brooks, streams, rivers, basins and lakes is allowed to reclaim its quiet, rippling dominance. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/a-view-of-canadas-waterways/article27565222/?click=sf_globe

Icy stare "No honey it's..." Dodges coffee mug "But it's..." Covers groin "If you would just..." Flees room with credit card and computer to buy biggest jewelry present ever.

Beauty Roger. Good to see you're staying safe with the orange toque.

Never let doing the right thing get in the way of making sure that left/right is the sole focus of an argument.

Wonder what it would cost to do nothing?

Man! I just mailed my list last night at the parade.

P.A. day for my son and we were up and driving north at 5am. He got to shoot his bow a bit while we were gearing up at the start of the walk... the grouse have nothin' to fear from him for now, but we did come home with the same number of arrows. He found a rib bone that some critter must have dragged away from a kill as we didn't see a single sign of anything else in the area. Shortly after my brother got a grouse and our bird dog retrieved it... ...and wouldn't let anybody else carry it the whole day. At the end of the day we tried a group shot in the same spot where the bow and arrow photo was from.

Victoria's secret perfume as good as DEET? From the Smithsonian: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/victorias-secret-perfume-works-great-mosquito-repellent-180957270/?no-ist Anybody who comes home from a fishin' trip smelling like Victoria's Secret perfume deserves whatever he gets.

Blaming you for the snow.

Long road trip for a day of birds with my brother. Didn't see anyone else the whole day. My brother got 3 and I never pulled the trigger. That's grouse hunting. Spruce grouse hen in his right hand. Me just walkin' through the woods. Last bird of the day while I was trying my luck off-trail. That's the smirk of a little brother who has 3 birds to zero and got the last one whilst I was slugging through the think stuff.

Come on. Tell us. Who touched the big red button?

Forget the chainsaws and whatnot a sleepless baby and parents would be a bigger concern.

http://www.oodmag.com/news/tularemia-case-likely-from-wild-game-contact-health-officials/ Sudbury health officials say a confirmed case of tularemia, contracted by an “adult resident” of the area, is believed to have come through contact with wild game. It’s the first case of tularemia in the Sudbury & District Health Unit’s service area since 2003. According to the health unit, tularemia is a bacteria-borne disease that occurs naturally in Ontario wildlife populations, especially in rabbits, hares, voles, muskrats, beavers, and squirrels, and in ticks and small domestic animals. Humans can become infected through several routes, including bites to the skin or licks of an infected animal, handling or cleaning the carcass of an infected animal (especially the skin or meat), eating inadequately cooked wild game, and bites from an infected tick or deer fly. Hunters are at higher risk of exposure because of the handling of wild game carcasses. Tularemia is considered rare in Canada, with just 289 reported cases and 12 deaths between 1940 and 1981. There are approximately 200 cases reported annually in the U.S. The transmission of tularemia from person to person has not been reported. Symptoms of tularemia depend on how a person was infected and range from mild to life-threatening. They can include sudden onset of fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, joint pain, vomiting, dry cough and difficulty breathing. Other symptoms include skin ulcers, swollen lymph glands, inflamed eyes, sore throat, and diarrhea. Health officials say the elderly, people with respiratory illness, or immune-compromised individuals are most at risk of developing severe illness with tularemia. Anyone who is experiencing these symptoms after an exposure to wild game or ticks should contact their health care provider as soon as possible. Confirmed cases are treated with antibiotics. - See more at: http://www.oodmag.com/news/tularemia-case-likely-from-wild-game-contact-health-officials/#sthash.erBhDE4n.dpuf

Bigger than that? The censors would not let me exclaim my surprise.

Just imagine the length of the honey-do list... In November 2012, Salvador Alvarenga went fishing off the coast of Mexico. Two days later, a storm hit and he made a desperate SOS. It was the last anyone heard from him – for 438 days. This is his story http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/07/fisherman-lost-at-sea-436-days-book-extract
