Reactions to bug bites can turn right nasty. Not too unusual these days. It would seem that our resistance to commonplace nuisances is diminishing. I've seen the fire ant reaction before. I've also seen big rashes and welts develop from mosquito, blackfly and deerfly bites. Get used to the idea of carrying an epipen.

What a loaded question. It's as much about your personal preferences as it is about the way you prep, marinade or season the meat. My preference would be for a fruit wood or maple.

So what u guys think about this catch? What a beauty! Look at the colour...... dont worry it was a catch and release...

Frog's legs? Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I know what happens to co-workers in these childish little tattle fests that come from abusing the rules. The parking lots get bloody messy.

No different than kids dealing with the tattletale after school.

Beyond that, we have sex, porn and smut all over our daily lives in print, images and telemedia, yet we will try to bowdlerize people in the workplace. Talk about asinine.

Both of mine are grown up now. The son is a fishing junkie. The daughter leaves her gear with me, but will call me up with "Wanna go fishing Daddy?". Their friends have always been welcome to tag along fishing and camping. Always been happy to take neices and nephews fishing. Used to have a couple of fishing days planned for my cub pack every year, but the insurance rules put paid to that. TOOOOOO RISKY.

My great neice already has her first fishing rod. I still have to wait a year to see her use it. ( she's only one. The rod was a gag gift on the wedding day to remind them that uncle Bruce gets first dibs on corrupting the little ones

Was doing crop assessment and pest and disease mgmt in the flower industry. Now a semi retired farmhand.

What does a flat of worms run a person? Anywhere in the niagara region?

Peter's sells worms by the 100, 200, and flat. A flat runs $50+ depending on availability.

We all obviously have a great love for our friends. Even the other half's rats We need them as much as they need us.

Have you ever noticed how, on even your very worst days, the dog will still be there to be your friend. I think I'd lose my sanity without the girls.

The rapids below the Mary Lake dam can be quite dangerous with a sudden outflow following a t-boomer and downpour. Younger kids in life jackets have found themselves trapped in some of the pool's back eddies until we've tossed lines to them.

Been sucked under once while wading for smallies further downstream. oth the first time I've "bathed" my camera

Spam?

I have images of Betty White holding a pair of hedgeclippers

Even after 1 week you cannot adequately cover the lake. just take your time.

Once the kids hit them terrible twos, wifey will be only too happy to pawn baby off on whomever she can. You, granparents, inlaws, total strangers.... Which is why the kids get fishing rods at that age.

Nice to have some adult play time though.

Great report as always.

it's a beautiful morning. The sun is shining, the dogs are happy and the home is filled with the aroma of fresh brewed and bacon.

 

 

He has been gone over five years now but he is still in our hearts...

 

I still get a yo-yo in my throat when I run across a picture of him...

They do become a very important part of our lives. I'm thankful to be woken up every morning by mine.

Everybody has seen my wee fish theiving rats a hundred times or more.

We love Xmas.

Lucky was a rescue dog I picked up at the humane society. Despite being abused she is the most loyal and lovable dog I have known. 15 years old and just starting to slow down. She has been surrogate mommy to every puppy and kitten to enter our doors. Even when she really did not want to. Harlem kept trying to suckle the old girl for about 6 weeks and she just put up with it.

They know when to line up for brekkie

I have to thank Hammercarp for the nickname. Quite an appropriate title for little Peanut as a "Scandinavian Fish Retreiver"

Last, but not least, we have Ruffins. A loveable rascal in our home for 3 short years, but I was forced to put him down. Found out later he was the product of a puppy mill. My kids still have not forgiven me.

Yes I am as attached to my animals as my own offspring. The dogs at least listen when spoken to

Congrats on the surprise catch. Good to hear you and Steve had a great day.

Best to call ahead. Each conservation authority has it's own definition of the no motor rule.

It may be funny and your laughing now , but remember this lesson I give to my son.

Your dad is the mirror image of you in days to come. It will come back to haunt you.

None wrong with that at all. Nice walter.

My mother still likes to put me in my place when we go fishing It's the way things were meant to be. Look at poor TJ as a classic example. Without his Mrs catching the fish, he might starve.

Should be no problem fishing downstream of the Queenston ramp. As already mentioned, just be mindful of the current. Also keep well to the Canadian side unless you have a N.Y. license and equipment that conforms to USCG standards. They have different requirements.

Got to drag them out with you. That way there is no squawking from the chicken coop.

Nice little corner of paradise you have there. Great place to share time with the young ones.

As mentioned by BTBM many conservation areas have policies promoting C&R but they are not entrenched in the provincial regs. At best they might ask an offending party to pack up and leave for failing to obey the rules of the park.
