25MPG US in the city? I find that extremely hard to believe. Are you actually hand calculating this or going by what the MFA tells you?

And you wonder why people keep going back to Shimano over and over again. There are a lot of fishing companies out there that should use Shimano as an example of great customer service. Same with St.Croix, one reason why you'll never find me switching from either.

You better call the local CO before getting nailed for fishing a sanctuary I would guess that once the river ends and opens up into the 'mouth' you're technically fishing the main river and not the trib anymore.

Because diesel is also known as home heating oil Diesel always goes up in the winter due to higher demand.... I think the most I paid this winter was around $1.49. It will be below regular gas prices in the next few weeks...

Boston and St.Louis haven't been looking very good as of late.. First round should be some great hockey!

You shouldn't have problems landing steelhead on your current setup, especially in the spring... As for rod length, 13-13.6 is just fine for the east tribs.

Pulled the boat down to the southern shore of Lake O this weekend... A few fish came out to play, no crazy numbers though as the water temps are pretty cold. Got a sun burn on Fri/Sat!

1ft of slush, I would have turned around and went home, lol.

Always fun to fish a river in flood stage

That creek will be a trickle once all the snow melt is done

The Detroit/Toronto rivalry was insane.. I still hate Bettman for moving them to the west. Glad they are back!

Going to be lots and lots and lots of flooding after these warms temps! Notty will bust over the banks in the next few days I'm sure in some places.

I find most of the fleas stay on the braid above the dipsy and doesn't make it down to the lure, I run 40lb braid on my dipsys and 17lb Trilene Big Game on the rigger rods.. I'd probably start out with 4 rods as well... I run convectors like fishnsled and cheap Rapala dipsy rod (Spend more $$$ on the reels, the rod doesn't make a huge difference, they are all pool cues).. As for rigger rods I have a set of old Fenwick custom fibreglass ones with are a blast paired with some Diawa Sealine 47Hs (Can't go wrong with these either)... It really doesn't have to be complicated out there.

Sweet!!!!

I ended up watching a whole bunch more related vids... Is it just me or was hockey better back then?

My best Detroit memory is............. http://youtu.be/Rw5lem-2UjM

I'm chirping you because you decided to show up just as your team was making a push before the playoffs not before that.. That's a bandwagon jumper to me.. If Detroit didn't make the playoffs we wouldn't hear a peep from you in this thread. Keep that foam finger flying bro! lol (BTW, this is all in good fun man, I gotta bust someones balls because my team didn't make it, lol!)

This is true, I will see you back in the Leafs thread :)

Agreed, I don't see any of the guys they have right now as 'leaders'.... They definitely need to acquire someone... And beefing up the D line is a must this year.

I'm glad you finally admitted it... So you can jump off the destruction of the lake/wilderness bandwagon now.

I don't agree with any of your post, lol!! But that's ok here are my reasons to keep a few of those guys.. Ranger? He's just getting back on his feet after a 4 year layoff and was getting better each game. Gleason? You want to get rid of the only muscle on the D line? Gunnarson? He's probably the best D man Toronto has.. Kuli? Sure.... I wish he'd gain 50lbs, then he'd be dangerous.. Also Kadri, first full season in the NHL and he scores 20 goals.... Let's not make another stupid trade, you keep him. As far as Bolland is concerned, only if they get him cheap,... Clarkson? Trade him for a pack of Smarties and we'd be on the winning end... 100% agreed on Komorov, they could have used him this year... Also no way Kessel gets the C, he's not a leader...

Had a flock in the back yard of my parents house yesterday morning and again in the evening for the feed.. I love seeing them fly up into the trees, it's comical!

40k highway a year and you wanna buy a Jeep? Why not just empty your pockets out into the street instead? Save yourself some $$ and get a TDI instead.

You've gotta be kidding me, lol! You think a tank base is going to destroy a lake but a river running THROUGH an active base will somehow remain untouched? Seriously man? Apples and oranges? Really? If Borden was that big of an impact to the Notty.... or the Pine.....or the Mad don't you think we would have seen it by now? You keep saying 'lack of merit' If you want examples just look at your silly replies.

I've already got Borden, you think I care? Let's be realistic here the only reason anyone cares is because they don't want it in their back yard. Not because it's going to have an impact on their beloved 'outdoors' or that the lake quality is going to somehow suffer or the tourism...... Let's call a spade a spade. People just need to stop giving these Bull excuses and say how it really is. They don't want it simple as that.
