And you are still, like me, part of a very small minority. Residents squawk and politicians listen, and the outsiders become the scapegoat. Whether the trouble is local or outsider does not matter. It will also help to line someone's pocket.

For the most part, we are the hard core of the fishing world. We live eat breath fishing. The average angler is a 2 week a year weekend warrior. Don't know the issues and don't care. Like most weekend warriors and their hobbies. See it camping, fishing, skidooing, cycling, golfing, etc... Too busy having fun to worry about the impact they are having. Used to having people clean up after them rather than cleaning up after themselves. With this prevalent attitude, get used to seeing trash. Get used to seeing angry residents. Get used to seeing restricted access. Other municipalities take another tack. Automated parking lots and user fees. I've seen the ticket meters in a few fishing locations as well. The sites were downloaded on municipalities that don't want to foot the bill. So visitors now pay.

Squid jiggin. Now that'll draw a memory or 2 ta mind. Sitting on the govt wharf in a deep water harbour catching squid in N.S.

Fixed

I'm sure they're back on the ice engaged in their favourite hobby this season

Another commercial knockoff

Of course there is also Genmar. Owner of some 20 odd brand names of boat. It's the way of the corporate world. Whether your talking toys, appliances, clothes, food.... Buy into it or don't. Your choice...

Was just wondering if any Innisfil site is going to be available. I can see other municipal lots as being fair game.

Added my voice. Does this mean the Tyler event is going to a different locale?

You gotta be an area resident. NOTL does the same thing with fishing from public lands.

A couple of the companies were at the horticulture and farm trade shows a couple of years back. I know a couple of landscape firms that bought units for urban contracts.

Still love it.

A lot more European vans are showing up here in Canada. Much better suited to the urban landscape than a lot of North American product. Mitsubishi, Daihatsu, Saab, BMC, Suzuki, etc...

LAte May early June they are super aggressive. Can't keep them off the line.

That's a slippery slope your a climbing.

Which? The messing with sasquatch or the blue angel?

Sounds like a suitable punishment.

Nice laker. The perch ain't shabby either.

If you have Manitoba Maples near the house, these little fellas will be around in the thousands. Kids would have a blast smushing up large patches of them when huddled together. Just another one of Ma Nature's harmless nuisances.

Any place with a decent beach and water will do at that age with a sidetrip an hour down the road for something different one day.

When we took the scouts out, we needed a shelter for 12 to 15 people. Stick frame for a roof with a black tarp on top. Black tarp for floor, overlapped at the ground. Snow piled against the side wall as high as possible to seal the shelter against wind. Straw on the floor to insulate. Got quite comfy in there for 2 nights. A snow drift quinzy is the way to go if there are only 2-3 people.

And every Sunday becomes Mother's Day, if you know what I mean

But you still help out some 20 years later. As we get older it is harder to do what we once did, like dragging shopping carts, etc... out of creeks. We still can play a part. For me it usually means hauling out garbage from time to time, and participating at the club level.

Find weedlines and weedy humps. Baited teardrops with maggots are great.
