Fisherman

Yup, there was an old army cook from the rock, name was Mike Massey that used to kill the whities, back then the limit was 25. He had a hut out by Lefroy for perch we used to fish back in the '90's

Remember waaay back a bunch of us used to go out on the ice around Thompsons hole and catch the splake there.

Used to chum the holes for ice fishing in winter, loose roe for rainbow and whities.

Regulations are current to 2021-01-28 and last amended on 2020-12-16 https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2007-237/page-3.html

From OOD, page 22. From OOD page 22. Chumming for fish Chumming is a common practice among anglers and refers to baiting an area to attract fish. However, there’s been longstanding confusion between chumming and regulations associated with bait-bucket dumping. For this reason, included in the 2019 proposal for multiple lines, the MNRF also sought input on clarifying these rules.At the time, the OFAH expressed concerns that the wording provided in the fishing regulations on bait bucket dumping was confusing and needed to be updated, and that the definition of bait for the purposes of chumming should be clearly defined and exclude risky baits (e.g. live or dead fish, bait-fish, leeches, frogs, crayfish, and roe. THE OPENER OFAH INSIDER It is now illegal to release or attempt to release live or dead bait or baitfish, including fish eggs, gametes or fish parts, the water, soil, or other materials used to hold any of these items into or within 30 metres of any water. These rules apply to all FMZs across Ontario. Chumming is still allowed, but only with plant-based baits or artificial corn.

Depends on how many donuts you bring, inversely proportional equation.

Thanks Dan: This proves the left hand has absolutely no clue what the right hands doing, yours from the Aylmer office says it's ok.

Back to the original subject, I sent an email to the MNRF to clarify if we could fish at night and got an answer back today. Not surprised that they didn't actually address my question but sent back the "pick one" of the gov't gibberish. Thank you for your email. There is a combination of measures that come into effect between Tuesday January 12, 2021 and Thursday, January 14, 2021, including a provincial declaration of emergency under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, orders under that Act, and amendments to regulations under the Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19covid 19) Act, 2020 The enhanced public health and workplace safety measures are in effect for all of Ontario and are anticipated to be in place until at least Thursday, February 11, 2021.

When the back says no to outdoor activity and there's apples in the garage. An apple cranberry crunch into the oven. Should be done in 35 minutes. Too bad there's no smell-o-meter, can't walk past it without sampling.

My brother does the same, bad haircut, wear a hat for 3 days and nobody will ever know

If this dam snow ever stops, should be good by then.

Well, this is really getting annoying to the point I have no more room for this insanity. I sent off a Q to MNRF but that will probably take up to 2 weeks for an answer. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/thunder-bay-opp-ice-fishing-lockdown-rules-1.5887138

No, I'm not venturing out yet either.

Well you can always park a couple of ARGO tires on the windward side, if it still moves you're probably pushing hurricane winds.

For a second I thought you guys were trying to cook toe jam.

Have you checked at this place on Commerce Park Rd for the spice packs. http://www.russianflyers.com/business/4268

No, it's not too bad, I do it on relatively calm days or put a couple baffles of sheet aluminum on the windy side, sit out back with a huge cup of java.

Pressure canning is done outside on the propane burner.

Ya, you really have to be careful with those cast behemoths on the glass top.

When you have your own hut but you can't stay overnight is beyond comprehension, well for normal people anyway.

That look's like Big Chevy 4x4.

You must have laid the boots to them, says the survey is no longer available, lol.

That sounds like insider trading, lol. Whatever works.

Only thing, there's no Valuemart around here, but I do believe they are the same as PC/No Frills
