.[/ Nope your right, I had a GSP also. Good memory . Ry

They NEVER really mean it !!!!!!!

I didn't sting any fish in the section you frequent ;-)

As I rolled into the house this morning after work I was greeted by my wife who reminded me she was off for the day. Usually theres a quick hello/briefing on what the kids had planned for the day, groceries needed, house work requiring my immediate attention etc.... you get the picture. But not today! Roe bags were hastily tied, shotgun cased, ammo picked, dog prepped for hunting and we were off. I Got to fish with 'Rookie" my yellow lab who up until today only understood hunting, fishing was a relaxing transition for him though and not one float was retrieved ;-) After a few hours and a few fish we decided we'd pack up and head to a local marsh that had produced ducks earier in the week. Unfortunately my shooting was not as sharp as my hook sets today as I missed a couple of nice wood ducks that should of been marinating in my fridge as I typed this and whats worse is the look of disgust on the dogs face after a clean miss, Its almost unbearable LOL. Can't wait to do it again next week !!!

I was never Squamish ...... Until that !!!! Ughhhhhhh

Nice, you caught more lakers in a day then I've caught all year !!! R

Nice , that actually does look like fun. Ry

Sparkling clean !!!! Get that thing dirty will ya! Looks nice. Enjoy it .

TSC if where I snagged some for the boy.

Dog parks equal trouble ! Be it aggression issues or health issues. Sorry to hear about your pup, I would 100% report it to animal control.

Great read !!! Thanks

Good topic. Funny I never used to worry much about my own PFD until I had kids. Just feel like to much is on the line and know that people are depending on me to come home . As for the rescue stuff , I do it professionally. Water Rescue situations are a dangerous game with far to many variables at play, your better off just wearing some sort of PFD . Any technical water rescue questions , feel free to PM me and if I don't have the answer I'll try and find it for you. Cheers, R

AWESOME !!! Looked like a great trip .

Holy Crap!!!! What a loser !

Brian, I am in agreement with you 100% , and I'm an Essa resident yet I still have to pay FML. In regards to hunting , there is a STRONG movement to have all hunting completely banned from Certain Simcoe forest tracts. Residents are tired of forests turning into weekend shooting ranges and the garbage and Bull that goes along with it. I walk/train my retriever in these forest tracts daily and you would not believe some of the crap you see . I've made it a priority to sit in at some council meetings this fall as hunting/fishing is an extremely important Tradition I hope my children inherit . Also with this being an election year, I will be sure to bring it up with the next candidate that visits our house in Thornton . Ryan

Source of good info for me was talking with some of the fleet mechanics with the city of Toronto. These guys are fixing the city's fleet all day long . Multiple brands , both diesel and gas, import and domestic brands etc ... Lotta imports in the staff lot LOL.

Exactly. Well put.

Check out a the Nissan Titan Pro 4x, only 1500 kms on mine but I'm loving the ride and performance so far.

Brian, I'd love to share the RAM nightmare I had with Barrie Chrysler LOL. I loved my Ram Mega Cab until this year , when detailing it in the spring I discovered fist sized rotten spots on both Rockers, rust starting to show on the rear wheel wells , and front end suspension repairs that were endless. Truck had 130000 km and was NEVER worked yet basically fell apart at 125000km. Truck was bought and Dealer maintained at Barrie Chrysler and I'm still waiting to hear back from a. Chrysler manager in regards to providing me with information on how a 60000$ truck that's six years old can rot so quickly, I was supposed to hear back 2 months ago LOL, gotta say I really love my 2014 Nissan Titan Pro 4x !!!!!! I could rant for hours about this LOL .

Roll those legs out with a rolling pin , seriously or a foam roller. Excess lactic acid in any muscle tissue reeks havoc , cramps , spasms , general tightness . Hydration and nutrition are paramount also.

Great report , And a nice pike. R

Amazing !!!! Pic of the waders hanging beside the fly rod was a perfect fit ! Enjoyed the read. R

Thanks for all the replies and pms . Hope I got back to everyone, if not let me know. Ryan

Hahaha, I gotta get some scratches on the new truck somewhere
