Gotta love beans.. I prefer my maple syrup beans any day, cold, right out of the can. Like douG, I really like a solid bean casserole, Hawaiian style with a few types of beans, onion, garlic, bacon or ham, pineapple, diced peppers. WARNING!! No more than 4 partakers of said repast shpuld be allowed to occupy the same building, let alone a tent or ice hut

Most large municipalities also have a collection of bylaws pertaining to fences and no two towns are the same. There are rules about height, setbacks, permitted materials, etc... you must do the homework. I put up a series of fences for 3 homeowners in a new subdivision who insisted on a 6' fence. A week after completion I was called back to chop a foot off. Building inspector saw the fences and threw a fit.

I take about an hour and 2-3 brown pops to do 50 large sunfish.

Like douG said, your written English is fine. However, you may just be giving us exiles an excuse to brush up and relearn some long forgotten Finnish.

We've had very little snow over the winter to provide a spring runoff.

Am I seeing things, or are you rebuilding a ground trainer/simulator.

And to think that when he posted it was after 11pm in Helsinki.

Glad to hear the girl was not more seriously hurt.

You could make a few large pots of kalamojakka with those Ling. tervetuloa ystava

Got out yesterday for another kick at the can. Bite was slow, but we caught a wide variety of specimens. The funniest was a wee 10" pike pretending he was a muskie. Went to check it out this morning and most of the shoreline had broken up. My buddy Bill got out with his spud to test a few spots. The hard 10-12 inches is now an opaque soft green and the spud goes through with 4-5 whacks. With the rains coming there won't be any safe ice in Niagara

Just gotta love them bottomfeeders.

Absolutely amazing. How things have changed. In the 1930's there was no government support and handouts for immigrants. In fact, you could only gety off the boat if you had money to sustain yourself for a year. That sum was $500. Now an interest group want Canada to hand out pensions before they've even received citizenship.

Stompin Tom would be proud of that one

Palomar straight to a spinnerbait. Palomar to a quality snap swivwl for plugs, cranks and spoons.

The same way it always happens. Everybody waiting for someone else to carry the torch or get the ball rolling.

I like hearing about good things happening to good people. Congrats Cliff.

Wonderful report. We are blessed with living in the most beautiful country on this planet. Bet there was a certain quiet pride in being able to say "I did it". Take the time and explore a piece of Canada folks. you will never regret it.

Shimano also produces high end bicycles and parts for the green yuppies. So they kinda have to sit on the fence.

After 2-3 days of rain runoff and warm the shoreline ice will break up quickly

In late season, ice thickness is no guarantee of safety. As spring progresses, the ice begins to honeycomb, turns white, pockets and voids develop below the surface. Float coats, walking sticks and ice picks should be standard gear.

My grandparents used to have use of an old logging camp in maynooth ages back. Their method of bear proofing was to bolt old coiled bed spring frames over the doors and windows. Bears never got in.

The G&F always leave in one dock for emergency services. Ramp was in use over the weekend.

Found my ice gear. Can you say perch for brekkie

You got that right!

There is a lot of bitterness in this thread that leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I doubt that I will feel too welcome at Rice after the dust has settled. Time to book elsewheres. It will leave more room for the more desireable out-of -province guest that some RLTA members prefer.
