Thats great news.
I still have a good supply. I met Mark, during the CFT days.Mark allowed me to visit his house to pick up what ever I wanted .
You will not meet a nicer/classier guy, then him. IMO
Was only asking a ?
Back in the day,they were abundant there as you say,warm water discharge. Once the plant was torn down,I never returned. I have made the odd visits there since then,but only see lots of carp. I mean lots.
The skimmer back in the day produced some of the biggests browns I have ever seen. I have said this before,but most have said they were stocked state side.
It,s threads like this that make me thankful I bush wack and find no other soul on the river. I have had my days of the crowds dont get me wrong. I like what I have now. Took me a few dozen years,but well worth it brudder.
Thanks
Like I said, it was just whipped together to give me a start at what I leaning towards. It,s got to be made so it breaks down for those that have small cars.
Since I sold my caddy smitty to a board member here,I was without a pulling/towing, transportation for late ice perch outings. So I thought what the heck,lets whip one up and see how my first,smitty to go, would handle.( step one of many) It,s nothing like my first creation. I made it simple. Simple is best some times.
Conditions were ice and slush with pressure cracks to go over. I again, made this smitty for the walker,but also added some support for pulling behind a machine if need be. No tow bar,just some rope spaced out over 28". I knew there would be no snow to worry about,so made the skis slim. I used hockey board, which I ripped down to 1.5 " wide. It slid on the ice and pavement with ease, loaded with all my gear.
We towed it probly 5-7 km, and it survived just fine. Bit of paint rash,but it was just brushed on the day before for looks.
Slides right in the back box with ease.
Nice perchie buddy
Looks like a couple more weeks of perch,n, if work don,t get in the way.
