I can't do the "quote" reply thing here, but anyways back to Fisherpete, many thanks. I had hoped to make it to the Fishing for Tyler Event tomorrow but that is not going to happen so I will send payment via EMT. I think you said that was OK. I will send you a pm on here, if this board allows me to do that - it does not like my computer set-up............. Doug

Toronto Ice Fishing - Once in a life time event
akaShag replied to AKRISONER's topic in General Discussion
You need a bunch of guys from Owen Sound to test the ice for you. When I used to fish Owen Sound, those <<<ahem>>>> LUNATICS would be out on an inch of ice. One time a buddy suggested we fish at the mouth of the Pottowotami, so off we went. I asked him where his spud was. He said we wouldn't need it - silly me, I figured there must be lots of holes from other folks fishing. So we got onto the Pot, with RUNNING WATER beneath us, and he kicked a hole in the ice with his heel and started jigging. I practically crapped myself and got the hell out of Dodge, RIGHT NOW. Ice fishing on less than an inch of ice over running water, just not my idea of a good time...... If any of you members are here from Owen Sound, yes it is me, THAT Doug................ and let the record show I no longer own an Argo............. Doug -
back to Maureen.........the Kingston Store Manager advises that they do not do inter-store transfers............. So my young lad can go look for snowshoes himself! Doug

Try to be over water before actually starting to fish. Try to stay over water while trying to catch fish. Stop trying to catch fish once not over water. You CAN catch stuff in launch ramps and parking lots, but generally these things are not fish. HTH

and none at the store in Kingston............oh well.............

The ones at the link in my post above are the 200 pound models, the one in Entropy's post above are the 155 pound models. I don't think the 155s are up to the task of floating my butt on top of the snow, but they WOULD work for my young lad. Thanks! Doug

back to Sylvan Owner............THANKS! Now to see if my local store has them.............. ..........for my young lad........... Doug

are these the ones from TSC? http://www.tscstores.com/31-200LB-SNOWSHOES-P16202.aspx Doug

My days of strapping on a set of snowshoes and walking a few miles are in my rear-view mirror. But there is absolutely no question that snowshoes make walking in snow deeper than about a foot or so MUCH easier. Once you get snow past the middle of your calf, walking without snowshoes is a killer. So yes, snowshoes are the way to go, or maybe a tracked Argo, which I did own once upon a time! But when you are stuck in an eight-by-eight Argo with super tracks on it, you are some surely STUCK. The Canadian military snowshoes are made out of some very lightweight metal, are extremely durable, and have a canvas binding that can fit on just about any boot. I have seen them in army surplus stores for not all that much money, and they are an excellent shoe for the value. I have only worn the new high-performance snowshoes twice and was very impressed, but yes those are pricey. ANY snowshoes are better than NO snowshoes................JMOYMV Doug

Geez, I guess you win then! All I have at the bottom of the page is an advert for Money Mart, and I can borrow $200 FOR FREE!!!!! Whoops, small letters below that, something about restrictions apply..........

"Golfers in the rough, nope I don't think I know that one. This one is the young lad walking past the old guy with some chicken wire. Old guy asks him what he's doing, young lad says I got some chicken wire to catch some chickens. Old guys says you dumb kid, you don't catch chickens with chicken wire. Young lad walks back past the old guy a few hours later with a bunch of chickens. the next day it's duck tape to catch ducks, same same. Third day the young lad has pussy willows, old guy says hang on kid I'm coming with you................... Readers Digest Condensed Version.........

The MNR also use big game surveys and interviews with hunters during the season (and the mandatory reports afterwards). If moose HUNTERS are not seeing moose where they have been hunting for many years, it is likely that moose populations are indeed diminishing in those areas. We also know that when whitetail deer reach a certain population per square mile that they impact on the moose. The deer carry a fatal parasite which does not kill deer, but does kill moose. During the mild spell of winters a few years back, there were big populations of BIG deer in Northern Ontario in locations where deer were not normally present, or not in any great numbers, and they did displace moose in those areas.

Pussy willow stems, eh? That reminds me of a joke.............. Doug

Sorry to hear that, bud. If I were closer I could bring you some Doctor Doug's Healing Chicken Soup. Guess you'll have to trust your Grandmother Campbell for her soup! Doug
