  5. OFAH Lottery

    in Announcements, Contests

    Posted · Edited by desship

     I have been supporting this lottery for years.The boat and truck  are the main reason I buy them.I had received a letter saying I  had won a $180.00  jig set. Hopefully

    somebody made a mistake when the value was put on their website.There are 104 pieces , 30 are bell sinkers. The estimated value maybe $30.00. Place that

    on website and I would not be posting this here. The OFAH does a lot of good for the sport of hunting and fishing. I will still buy the tickets every year a look forward for the May draw.

    I was looking at 2017 fishing regulations.On it it says anybody under 18 does not require fishing licence.In the past regulations it always said anybody under 18 and over 65 does not require a licence.

    I know they were talking about charging seniors . Just wondering if anybody knows whats going on.

  12. BC wild salmon

    in General Discussion

    Hello
    60 Minutes is running their investigation into salmon farming in British Columbia this Sunday night, May 11, 2014. Please check local listings to find out exactly what time it will air in your region.
    It was a great honour to meet Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a remarkable man.

    I hope this international spotlight allows Americans to better understand the consequences of the farmed salmon sushi on their plates. The reason companies from Norway are using the BC coast to raise Norwegian salmon is inexpensive access to the American consumer.

    Please watch with me on Sunday. You can view the trailer and comment on the CBS website I have provided links on my blog

  21. Do you remember the Red Fisher Show?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Bernard Herbert "Red" Fisher (18 February 1914 – 5 May 2006)[1] was an American sporting goods retailer, U.S. naval and United States Coast Guard officer, newspaper columnist, and poet. He later became a popular radio and television personality in Canada. He is not to be confused with Montreal Gazette sports columnist, Red Fisher.

     

    Fisher was inducted into the U.S. based "Fishing Hall Of Fame" in 1948. When he moved to Canada, he launched a popular radio talk show program The Red Fisher Show in 1963, which moved to television in 1968. The TV version was set at fictitious "Scuttlebutt Lodge" and featured silent home movies of outdoors activities, often fishing, which involved high profile guests, mainly from the major league sports of the era. These included ice hockey stars Gordie Howe, Eddie Shack, and Johnny Bower, and baseball legends Ted Williams, Roger Maris and Ferguson Jenkins. The Red Fisher Show differed from other outdoor living shows of its time by promoting nature conservation, game preservation and the "catch and release" mentality. The series continued until 1989, making it among the longest-running on CTV.

     

    At the same time, his weekly column, Outdoor Topics, was read in over 180 newspapers. In 1971, Fisher's first book of poems, Poems Of Our Great Outdoors, was published and distributed. Red would famously give each guest on his show a copy of these poems. Three volumes of Poems Of Our Great Outdoors were released, each one simply adding more poems to the previous collection. Red released a record on Saga Records also called Poems of Our Great Outdoors in which he read his poems to a symphonic background.

     

    In 2000, Red Fisher released a collection of stories and anecdotes from his life called Tight Lines and Tall Tales. A portion of the profits were donated to outdoor conservation efforts.

     

    Fisher died in Chatham, Ontario at the age of 92. Red fisher is credited for introducing the open-faced spinning reel to North America and, as a result, was inducted into the Fishing Hall of Fame
