This is the end result of a huge area...Toronto Absorbing a nearby area which was traditionally a smaller town feel--gateway to cottage country etc----Barrie is now a bdrm community for the big smoke....Yes? You now have Big city thinking and all it's micro-managing job justification goin down...3 legged dogs must only be walked on tuesdays on the left side of the path I'm sure any dollar amt will keep the destroyers out---but You do make a point---why single out anglers? Maybe history has not shown our group to be the neatest I recall Trout opener in the Meaford/Thornbury corridor in the 70's---creeks and rivers were a mess----I remember at Bronte one year----somebody lighting a 50ft pine tree on fire---the whole tree---quite a sight----broken fences.....fistfights----picinic tables thrown into the water...etc etc At the end of the day---we know we are responsible for our river footprint-------many still don't care---and you are paying for them.

I went 2 x6---that was factory size from EZ Loader I also went PT covered in Carpet---had no issues Yes Cedar and Knots at times will make a nice place to crack---You may have to go thru the pile to find a couple without knots---is possible tho

I know guys that lay checkerplate aluminum---clean easy and they love it---lighter

Did you happen to tell him ya voted liberal in the last election??

I've dealt with this for some years now Seen the coons the other night---I know skunks do this as well

This time of year we are having the same issue It is skunks and coons digging for grubs

This is exactly why I bought my Escape---4wd---3500 tow cap---and a literal fraction of my old fuel consumption (Note all models are all Not made this way) the money you save on the ticket price---get a utility trailer for load hauling It's also a more comfortable ride than my pu A convo I had at a Ford dealer (after I purchased my escape and not where I bought it)----indicated the escape sales are rivaling the f150 (which is substantial) Higher fuel costs I suspect driving that Honestly tho----you will lose a bit of clearance underneath---been down some rocky bushroads already with no issue however just another Idea??

I truly cannot believe the written diarrhea that is displayed here. All the years I've been here I've never asked a thread to be destroyed---this qualifies Today I'm truly embarrassed to be an OFC member I've got to go before I tell some long time members what an ass they really are

Yep---survey says----2x the amount of casting for 1/2 the fish Always remember one constant tho----these fish STILL have to eat----they're likely just doin it elsewhere They cannot go forever on no grub

I was going to stay away from this as everyone has a diff opinion when it comes to vehicles Anyway....this is what I ended up doing My 4 door f150 is gone---it was a great truck but as everyone knows----at $1.30---your looking at $170 to fill from empty I had 3 criteria on my search....4wd...tow a boat....good gas mileage Now I had a truck but I ran around with the box empty 363 days of the year Many small suv's don't have the tow capacity but can get the other 2 criteria So This is what I got-----ford escape---2 litre eco-boost---3500 lb towing capacity---4wd------great on gas I have a utility trailer if I need a dump/lumber yard run (smartest thing I ever bought) An Ottawa run would cost me 100 dollars round trip------now just did one for 40

And many people drink that water-----treated of course Remember Love Canal??....Not much Love from Hooker Chemicals

right on

Good ya made it safe How'd ya like drivin thru those mtns? Bought a "Nucks" jersey yet? And remember ---try not to become one of those BC'rs that continually tell us folks in February in Ontario that your blossoms are out in BC

Dave---You can buy a needle to thread a snell thru the minnow---needle has a hook---loop on snell---pull thru and usually leaves a double hook out backside of minnow for trollin Ya don't want to just lip hook a minnow and hope it stays on

my slant is minnow

Williams Spoons are usually a good bet Flutter spoons work well Monkey Puke is my fav colour when spoonin

Really cool....I'm thinkin that fish is really mad at the black thing

looks great...ya the "Before" images may have been a bit rustic Did looked lived in tho

Hey Chris...in the Parlance of the times.......Peace out

Oh oh...careful or ya may get hooked on that stuff

Cdn Tire got their power augers on sale yet?

That was great Pidge
