Dont tell anyone,but I hear Thornburry is not bad. Like I said,dont tell anyone.

The conditions might not be too bad, but I hear the fishing is nowhere near what it used to be there.

You picked the wrong weekend. (Last weekend was good)

Maybe you could try chucking spoons at the creek mouths, working the mudline.

That is THE best report I've ever had the pleasure of reading!

Thanks for sharing that!

Too bad you got a rookie guide, but it sounds like it didn't matter much! You guys took him to school!

Try Graham Creek. There's one good pool that usually holds lot's of fish.

Great response Roy. Makes it very clear.

 

We should put together some sort of system, if it generates money from the site, that each day you have to click the banner. not overdoing it, but just showing support.

 

Its probably a lot more complicated to get everyone to buy into it, let alone set up some type of system, but its a thought.

 

Just tryin to help out.

That's a good way to get OFC banned from Google Adsense.

You can use floats with glow sticks, or use LED floats.

TTBOMK they pay strictly for how many times their "link" appears on a page. Don't think there's any extra because you choose to check them out by clicking on it.

Yes, HOWEVER:

I would assume that the sponser of the banner would have tracking on it, to tell where the user clicked from.

And if they see that a lot of traffic is coming from the OFC site, they are more likely to keep paying OFC to advertise here.

OK, I just got off the phone with a CO. He said that you are allowed to do it, but the onus is on you to prove that you are fishing for suckers and not steelhead. He said that you should be fine if you are not using a noodle rod or roe. Basically, if you use a 7 ft rod and worms, you should be able to prove to the satisfaction of a CO that you are in fact fishing for suckers. Ironically, he said to keep your suckers on a stringer for proof!

Also, check the regs for your zone to make sure that the area is not closed for fishing and that the area is not a sanctuary.

He said that there are people who fish for steelhead under the guise of fishing for suckers, but that there are also people who legitimately fish for suckers, which is perfectly fine.

Finally, he mentioned that should you happen to catch a steelhead, release it immediately.

So there you go. You can have the entire upper stretches of the creeks and rivers to yourself to enjoy some sucker fishing while you wait for opener!

DO NOT USE A NOODLE ROD OR ROE! USE WORMS!

In fact, I might try it this week.

Oh, and I should add, keep a few suckers on a stringer in case a CO comes along so you can prove that you are fishing for suckers.

I know that it sounds funny, but yes, if you really wanted to, you could legally do it as long as you released any accidentally caught steelhead immediately.

Love fishing for suckers on Ultralight gear. Hard to fish for them out east here though because most places are closed.

No, you can fish for suckers anywhere. There are no closed areas except for posted fish sanctuaries.

Go nuts!

Interesting theories.

I don't agree that "they jump because they can and it makes them feel good". Applying Occams razor, we could as easily conclude that they jump because they are spooked. Who knows?

The correct answer is that we don't know why they jump.

Oh, and what MuddyWater said about the stoneflies. Guys were nailing them a few days ago at Wilmot on big black flies. Roe wasn't working.

LOL, OK just making sure. From the way you described all the fish splashing around everywhere it sounded like you were in a closed section of the creek since everywhere I saw was dead yesterday.

Hi Pachone, Stoty gave some good advice there.

Just out of curiousity though, you're aware of the regulations right? Don't fish above the CNR tracks until after the last weekend in April or you can get into BIG trouble.

One more question. Do you think there will be any Steel left in the open sections after this rain or will they all be up. I assume the open sections will be empty of any chrome.

Drop-backs from here on in?

Well done as usual!

How long do you reckon before the rivers will be fish-able again after this weekend's rain?

Awesome! I get to use the icon!

Over/Under Posts until thread locking: ?

It's my understanding that the military has requested that the flag only be lowered on November 11th to honour all soldiers killed in combat and not be lowered for the death of individual soldiers. I think that we should honour their wishes on this matter.

 

I also don not believe that senators and MP's warrant lowering the flag. I would lower it for the Prime Minister or Governor General though.

Of course the military doesn't want the flag lowered each and every time a Canadian soldier dies! That wouldn't be very good recruiting PR. "Look, the flag is down for the 10th time this month." "Come join us and get killed?"

The sad political reality is that: the "Left" wants the flag lowered each and every time an individual soldier dies to emphasize the "death" of Canadians in an unpopular war. It's a way to garner votes away from the Conservatives by showcasing each and every death...

"Look! The flag is down again! Another Canadian soldier died! we need to stop this! Damn Conservatives!"

It's a purely political maneuver, the politicians on the "Left" frankly don't give a damn about the individual soldier.

The same holds true for the "Right", just vice versa... They want Canadian Soldier deaths swept under the rug. Out of sight, out of mind. Please re-elect. They also don't give a damn about the individual soldier. I'm just saying.

Quoted from the article:

 

"Mr. Bickford said the species is the first frog known to science without lungs and joins a short list of amphibians with this unusual trait, including a few species of salamanders and a wormlike creature known as a caecilian."

 

Unless by "a few species" of salamanders, he means about half (more than 250sp.) he is wrong.

 

Sorry, just getting ready to write a herpetology final...

Semantics. (few, many, some, all, most, none, majority, minority of salamanders) Point being that this is the first frog ever discovered with this trait and is rare for amphibians, citing salamanders and caecilian as the rare exceptions.

Two and a half tears ago I built a structure for a client who gives me a least one major project per year. Over the winter in a fierce windstorm the footings gave way and the structure was flattened much to my embarassment. In my defence the structure has already withstood many other strong windstorms, IMHO the construction of the original structure was adequate for the purposes intended. But.....it did blow over.

I have just finished rebuilding the structure in a much over-engineered manner. The client supplied all materials I just have to bill for the labour. It has cost me a week.

The question is, "Do I bill full pop or do I give him a 50% reduced rate due to the fact that I could have done a better job when I first built it?"

The debate begins.......

I haven't read any of the responses, so not knowing any of the particulars and based on no other info than the above quote, I would be grateful that your client came back to you at all. I would definitely give the client a greatly reduced rate (if not free) for rebuilding the structure and hope to re-coup my losses via future business transactions with said client. "you can sheer a sheep many times but skin him only once"

My 2cents.

BTW, you're lucky that he or anyone else was not injured in the collapse of the structure, or else you might not be on here debating how much $ you want to charge the poor guy... you could be getting the pants sued off of you. I assume that you have liability insurance if your structures are prone to blowing over. Just a thought.

Some nice fish guys, Don't take any S!@t for the pics Steve!!!

I agree! If anything, show more!
