congrats ! and keep up with the fishing reports ...

I have a nephew who is a US marine and am very proud of his accomplishments. Congratulations to you,your wife and your son on such a great achievement.

another classic for the archives , same thing happened to me with the wolf stalk years ago in Algonquin, except the wolf came out into the portage and stared me and my buddy down until we made lots of noise, glad it all worked out, your wolf must have been a lot larger ... how big were the brookies on average in the lake ?

Great TR Dana, missed that humour ....

Ok seriously .... you do it all , fishing with the family, major fishing trips , cottage trips, .... whats the secret ? dang it my Loto Max tickets aren't coming up yet ...

Last night fireworks were going off all around the neighbourhood and our 5 month old Wheaton didn't seem too bothered, she barked a few times, looked at us as if to say "should i be alarmed" and then continued chewing her toys .. LOL

fantastic pictures Brandon, your passion and talent really shines !!!

fishing for favorite species - check doing what i love - check fishing with a legend - check getting off work - no chance do you take rainchecks ?

A friend emailed me this today and as a new dog owner I really believe they make your life better ..... __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Ivan. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Ivan, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Ivan and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Ivan, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Ivan's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Ivan slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Ivan's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Ivan's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ''I know why.'' Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live. He said, ''People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?'' The Six-year-old continued, ''Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.'' Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like: - When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. - Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride. - Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy. - Take naps. - Stretch before rising. - Run, romp, and play daily. - Thrive on attention and let people touch you. - Avoid biting when a simple growl will do. - On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. - On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree. - When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. - Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. - Be loyal. - Never pretend to be something you're not. - If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it. - When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently. There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING...

I know that what you see bothers you and rightly so … however due to them being a visible minority you can easily stereotype them and begin your own racial profiling. If they were eastern European and never said a word it would be hard to profile their ethnicity. I have a friend that has property up in northern Ontario and is of French Canadian decent, when I go up to visit him for some fishing he shows me his freezer that is stacked with fish that he has caught in the local lakes surrounding his camp. He follows the regs and keeps his limit on all fish but is clearly not obeying the “in possession” limit. When I ask him about it he says everybody does it. His father was like that with fishing and hunting practices as well and so on it goes … I guess my point is that, all types of people cab be in violation of the regulations but closer to the populated areas certain visible minorities are easily identified and stereotyped, but in the remote regions it happens as well. We clearly need better enforcement ….. and that goes for the non-populated regions.

beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing !!!

awesome , looks like everyone is having fun !

Thats exactly what I thought when I saw this .... yikes

Algonquin holds many untold stories, but thanks for sharing that one. I wish i had kept better accounts of the trips I took, mostly just memories now. I really need to get back there. This winter we had lake trout Ceviche on the ice in Temagami, that Brookie would have been real nice to try that recipe on.

It was only a matter of time ..... BioLite Camp Stove http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/iphone-accessories/charge-your-iphone-while-camping-with-fire/

I have always wanted to try my luck at this event , but don't know the area at all ... is there a place to launch and park ? is a 14 ft with a 9.9 too small to be out there with ?
