  2. Ha…..I still have my mine kicking around. Whittled from a piece of pallet with a box cutter in the 70’s when I worked on a loading dock.
  3. Probably not needed where your going, but the best new addition to our backcountry outings is the Platypus Water Filter. No more boiling. Drinkable water in minutes.
  4. I unfortunately missed it, I put it in my cal for April 10!? Duh….next time. Was there any FLY stuff? Ray.
  5. That was Great! He had a wonderful life. Not long now till I’ll be in the park and I’m sure I’ll think of Frank even though I never met him or knew of him.
  6. Bunk, I don’t know how I missed your posts in the past…..usually looking for the “fly” posts I guess, or a Post Title that grabs my interest. I checked out your link and was totally blown away with your writing. Top notch, really drew me in and made me “Think”. The fish are one thing, made of dreams, but your “brain farts” as you referred to, should be mandatory reading!
  7. As far as I know, it’s illegal to harass anyone who is legally engaged in the sport of hunting or fishing. Like the others said, report them. Section 13 of the provincial Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act clearly states that it is illegal to obstruct or interfere with lawful fishing, hunting and trapping Obstruction of hunting, trapping or fishing 13 (1) A person shall not interfere with lawful hunting, trapping or fishing by, (a) tampering with traps, nets, bait, firearms or any other thing used for hunting, trapping or fishing; (b) placing himself or herself in a position, for the purpose of interfering, that hinders or prevents hunting, trapping or fishing; or (c) engaging in an activity, for the purpose of interfering, that disturbs or is likely to disturb wildlife or fish. Ray.
  8. Great Trip Report Andrew! There’s nothing like venturing into Algonquin’s backcountry with good friends. Portages can certainly be tough if you have a bunch “just in case” gear. I’ve been going every spring since 2010 for the trout, except the past 2 due to COVID closures. I’m turning 64 this week, and will keep returning, until I can’t.
  9. Gil, for tips on access, daily conditions and flies that are working, drop in at the Grand River Outfitting and Fly shop in Fergus. Also, you can search “Grand River Access” and you should find what your looking for.
  10. John, I believe that would be the West Branch of the Credit. Either way, it’s not good news, and thanks for mentioning it as we all need to aware of plans that could negatively effect our fisheries.
  11. Nice Ties! I need to stock up on materials and get tying some “go to” flies. I buy more than I tie, usually from Reelflies. Yes, they are still in business. Ray
  12. Your welcome! As you can see by the size of those hoops, they caught fair sized “bait”, compared to what I normally call a minnow but then again, it was saltwater. Ray
  13. It’s a bait catcher, also called “pilchard rings”. I first used one in the 70’s while fishing off a Pier in Florida, everyone was using them to catch small bait fish which they would then use to catch “real fish”. They sold them in the little fishing shop that was on the Pier. It was simply lowered into the water, and the bait fish would be all over it, attracted to the colourful material, and many would get their gills stuck in the wire loops. It was very effective. Ray.
  14. John John, did you happen to live in Devon or Cornwall? Just guessing based on your post.
