Nope, and this afternoon we had rain pissing down for a few hours...😮

Yes we are getting a crapload of snow today, and it has been good and cold. But temperatures above zero next week..........

Colour me green with envy........ .........but I did hear that folks were ice fishing yesterday not that far from Kingston! Doug

I buy the three year small game licence with the OC. Sure enough, expiry 31 Dec 25. Thanks for the heads-up, buddy! Doug

Four inches of good ice is LOTS to walk on! Ask the lunatics around Owen Sound who go out on an inch and a half...........or used to when I lived down that way..... Every year when you post your first ice post, I envy you! No doubt we will soon be seeing some shots of walleye and crappies coming up through the ice... Doug

Looks delicious! I think the marinade you used is a good idea; I have done them in thin strips and into a teriyaki marinade overnight, then BBQed. But yours look better! My favourite new recipe for wild turkey breasts is to do them as schnitzels. Cut them lengthwise into about 4 pieces, pound them flat, dredge in seasoned flour, then egg wash, then panko crumbs and pan-fry. This was SUPPOSED to be one of our deer camp meals last week, but we basically got behind in our menu and never cooked that meal. More for me when I do cook it! Doug

Looks like a coon to me...

yer welcum! 🙂

Back to CrowMan: my fillet from that same spring is the last one I have left. I took out the two fillets from my biggest Duncanby spring, with the intention of canning one and smoking then canning the other. Well...........one fillet did not fill my canner, so I ended up canning the most of both fillets and cooked the tail portions for supper a few nights back. I had enough leftover cooked spring salmon to make salmon alfredo, and still have a small piece frozen for a future snack. But none of it got smoked...........😢 Port Hardy August 2026 will hopefully bomb up the salmon, halibut and lingcod stocks in the freezers! Doug

Awesome! Wish I was there!!! Doug

I used to run into Lorne Greene here and there on various steelhead rivers and watering holes. He was quite the character! Nice work, Chris! Doug

Good thing you have a big deck and lots of space!!! I have to fight with a small table and two chairs just to get to my BBQ! 😮 Doug

Good times! I had a black rockfish fillet and two small copper rockfish fillets a couple nights ago, tasty enough but I prefer perch! Doug

Super realistic!

I wish!
