One smallmouth passed the old dam site 700+ times in a two week period during the pre construction study! If this study shows that the new dam impedes fish passage, then London may finally get a fishway around it.

Crown Battery makes decent ones. I have a 6 year old one and it still holds it's charge like the day I got it. Crown Battery is in Woodbridge ( the one I go to ). It faces Hwy 7 west of the 400 but the entrance is off of Trowers Rd.

looks like a little stream I fished once in a while in Markham I think it was when I had to sit around in the truck waiting for a pick up at a customer

Durham CA has some brook brown and rainbow trout in the river there. There are a number of small lakes in the area but only 2 I know of with a launch/public access, Bells Lake northwest of Markdale and Wilcox lake southwest of Flesherton Both are on paved 'back' roads and a Grey/Brucemap should give the exact location. As for fish I haven't fished in either
Hope this helps

10-4 I try and click at least one each visit especially if they are fishing related. I actually have one bookmarked that was a google ad. Thanks for the hard work on the site, everyone appreciates it.

Little late for you but Sunday the lower was high and fast but receeding and a bit murky. The upper was moving nicely but still a lot of water moving through there.

There's gotta be a dutch store or 10 around Toronto area, we have 2 in London there's one In Chatham, one in Burlington, one in St. Catharines that I know about, but it's just not the same as the "fresh" stuff from over there!

RIck is there a certain length of time you need to stay at a google ad for it to be counted, or do you just need to click, let it load and then hit back?

The 7th pic from the top Just of to the right is the Hoek v. Holland ferry terminal Saw one boat take off and one come back. Their size puts the Tobermory-Manitoulin ferry to shame.

how about that last world cup soccer game!
We stayed in Westland, Naaldwijk to be more specific. (between Delft and Den Hague)
Not for fishing in the sea but you do for freshwater.

Part 2, Das Boot
Das Boot!
Our ride for wreck fishing
Heading out of the harbour only 40 more miles to go!
This guy disturbed our fishing for a few minutes. It was about 350 meters long and kicked up about 3 meter waves
Vertical jigging is the way to get these guys with live bait rigs (super sized ones again) or with jig and plastic minnows . (don't get snagged on the shipwrecks)
really fun when you have 2 on at once.
I ended up with 10 altogether best about 5lbs but there were some big ones caught and between the 12 guys on the boat we kept about 40kgs once they were all fileted.
Made for one giant fish fry on Tuesday!
Getting ready for the trip home
What's a trip to Holland without a picture of a windmill! Here's where they keep them now.
Anyone headed to Goderich to the Maitland R. heres what it looks like from 12kms up.

Here it is complete with a lot of pics.........
Nice airline for a flyin trip
Over the Atlantic somewhere east of England
Setting up on the beach for some low tide night fishing
This reel was an Okuma but most were Shimano 10000 just huge reels
All set up waiting for fish. The rods are on stands about 5' high. We were using about 4oz weights and a home made kind of super sized double pickeral rig (weight on the bottom 2 dropper lines)
One of 5 small cod we caught. I got this guy and another about the same size. Too early in the year for sea bass.
Saturday afternoon we went to one of the shipping channels near Europoort (Europe's largest container port)
Little John working hard with a big casting rod
Watching the ships come and go
Theo and John with the only cod we got, one of three we saw caught that day
