Ron we have the same crap here on the river in Essa township. ANGLERS need to pay to play, but walkers and those WITHOUT rods, can use with no paying. Utter Bull.

Today was toon day, FINALLY.. First open water launch for the float a boat. What a glorious start to the morning. Calm waters, sunrise and yup, I was just happy to be out rowing away and fishing. Our plan was to hit our late ice out perch spot. I guess the perch figured to move out as well, as not a single mark. LOL No matter, out floating and trying. Me bye seemed to be having bladder issues, ( I felt his pain, as I have been there, not fun ) Not fun dealing with a leaky bladder, especially at his age, so we decided to head in and get it checked out. Gave him my spare valve. Thats what buds do. He decided to see if it was going to hold, so with still lots of time to fish, I went on my way to find another spot to fish. Went from open water, to a skim of ice at my next location. No worries. The ice breaking toon was ready. 1/4" skim across the bay and into the marina. Got my way out and well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I could only think of this being me with one of my grandchildren. Never happen. As much as my one granddaughter ( the fisher girl ) kept bugging the crap out of me to go ice fishing this pass season, I said no. Not that I would be drinking, as the ice conditions were not safe IMO to take a young one out on.

You have it right Rob. Thunder stick. I remember when they came out. They looked cheap IMO. I stuck with buy husky jerks.

Getting the toon prepped for the open water season, I heard this on the radio. I was so sadden to hear of a young child lost. Then heard the charge of impaired. WHY??????????? Im am still so pissed at this guy. This was a senseless death, of a young child. http://barrie.ctvnews.ca/eight-year-old-boy-dies-after-canoe-capsizes-near-bracebridge-1.3360527 Eight-year-old boy dies after canoe capsizes near Bracebridge The Canadian Press Published Saturday, April 8, 2017 12:44PM EDT Police say an eight-year-old Huntsville boy has died and a man is facing charges after a canoe capsized in the Muskoka River on Friday. Ontario Provincial Police say the canoe overturned near High Falls in Bracebridge, Ont., and both people in the canoe -- the man and the boy -- were thrown into the river. When officers got to the scene, the man, who is a family friend, said he didn't know where the boy was. OPP say that although the boy was wearing a life-jacket, he had gone over the waterfall. Emergency crews tried CPR, and took the boy to the hospital, but he later died of his injuries. Investigators say 37-year-old Toronto man has been charged with impaired operation of a vessel causing death, and care and control over 80 milligrams. He's scheduled to appear in a Bracebridge court on May 9.

I can understand that. LOL

Thanks for posting the pics Dave. I will rig a couple of those, to try here on Simcoe.

Some butchers will have old knives they have ground down, to the point they don't use them. Worth a stop into one and ask.

Squirrel is some good eats. One of my fav.

Snowing in Barrie,,,,,,,,,,,,, Yup, it,s the norm. I knew I didnt have to check Bill, but it had to be done.

Just checked a couple of my rivers. ZINGING OFF THE GRID. LOL

I thought home was your office Bill. LOL

We use to call that a " shank " Thats all I will share. Would this work

Oh there are further little tribs they will get to and go far.

Sharing the hows is all good. Nice to see you do realize the respect part. Like said, once they are on the move, they are on their way up the river. Been a real funky winter, and have found there are fresh runs still heading up. The past few years, the trout have been way up and settled in way before norm. Thats up here though. I have lost track of how the southern tribs have been, as I dont fish them any more. One real important note here. Make sure you know how far you can go up the system. Again, I dont follow the new and old rules down that way. You dont want to be fishing in a out of season section. As for how far????????? Credit river mouth, up to Norval. Google it and see the many miles they will travel.

Great looking male brownie.

I as well have not been to this one, but the Hamilton one has always been great. Think the last time Terry and I went, we spent like $100 for all we got, and that probly worked out to retail at about $350.
