Can't go wrong fishing the West Arm in early june for pike and walleye. Lakair and Shuswap are both good.

Anyone have one of those plywood side huts that you open up with a tarp top? Curious would they last if you left them out for the winter or just tear apart?

The black commercial tarps would hold up if properly secured.

With most of the older units, and some new. Insulation during installation was non-existent. They may have also failed to seal the unit when installed. The actual unit may be fine. You need to remove the trim, if any, to check if it has been adequately insulated and sealed. I've had a few sub-contractors, when building houses, that I had to harass to ensure the job was done right.

Best to have an MD remove staples and inspect.

There are usually 3 options. I would not think staples to be a good idea on the hand. Stitches would be preferred. On a less mobile part of the hand or fingers (not too deep) I would suggest steri strips which are very effective in keeping wounds drawn tight.

My fave bass pic is of my Mom not me.

I regularly fish Dalrymple, and was so glad Mom wanted to come out for a day on the water. We were casting into the shallows for largies and pike when the water under Mom's spinnerbait first swirled then exploded. After a few minutes, Mom had a healthy 3 1/2lb smallie in the boat. She had never caught a smallie that large. It is a moment happily etched in my mind. I was only too happy to be net boy.

Fave perch coating is 80% corn flour, 20% corn meal, powdered salt, onion powder and paprika, sometimes a little parsley. Roll moist fillets in mixture and fry in hot oil (with a tsp of margerine for browning) .

As for lake trout/whitefish

One fish carefully gutted and washed. In the cavity you will put the following stuffing.

2 cups dried bread cubes (stuffing)

1/4 cup diced fried onion

1/4 tsp salt, sage, parsley

1 tbsp melted butter with 1/4 tsp ground garlic

1 can crab meat or canned shrimp

Mix together well and fill gut cavity. Then truss or sew cavity closed.

Rub body with butter and roll in tinfoil.

Toss in a 350 oven for 30 to 40 minutes.

Thanks for making me drool. You all had a great weekend to be on the BOQ. I was thinking about how it was going

Maybe I'll be up and about for one of these G2G's by June. Never know.

Love it. Bring it on. If need be I'll fit a wheelchair with chain and skis

Looks good.

Jen's right. This is the prime time for perch, pannies and crappie.

What a heavenly weekend of fall fishing. All the essentials lined up perfectly for you. Good weather, good water and good company. What more could you need.

Good job. Good to see you and your Dad out for a sucessful afternoon on the water.

Nice looking member of the hot oil brigade.

Well done fellas. Hope everyone is slaying em this weekend.

Let's just hope we don't start calling Rick Cliff

That is a right fine walter Jewel. Well done

You could have heard a pin drop in the halls of the hospital. The announcer on the PA system had a hard time reading through the poem

I'm Baaack

Thank you for your best wishes. It was nice to read when I got home. Been home 2 hours and now catching up on the important things.. Fishing

Had 2 really rough days, but things started turning around fast yesterday. The Dr. managed to remove a lot of the tissue build up around the spinal cord, but the recovery process is going to be lengthy. Don't have much feeling in the legs and I rather unsteady,but heck, I just got home.

As for the purdy nurses, I got the ones with the purdy finger bobbles. The nurses were top flight and professional and a pleasure to deal with.

Seems I have a long overdue date with the scalpel. With any luck I'll be back in a week giving everyone grief.

For old friends

Well done.

I'll have to keep you informed when the bite turns on for the smelt.

Got to admit there is a special feeling that comes with going to market. The people, noise, smells, the "FOOD".... It's hard to keep losing weight when you are down wind of the chip truck, fish fryer and sausage wagon By accident, a couple of days of helping my buddy out turned into a hectic, yet fun, summer However, yesterday was my last for the season under beautiful blue skies. St Jacobs is really a unique marketplace, and, a lot of fun.

The silly grin comes from having sold just about everything we had in the truck. Not a bad way to end the season.

Bump.

Blimey! You really are a Limey!

With an accent like that, I should think so. Simon certainly doesn't sound like a 'wog'

You sure do have nice water in your backyard. Almost makes me envious.

nice one big guy!

 

sorry to hear you took a tumble, i nearly ended up in the lake today too, Sorel boots not too good on bare rock i guess.

I'm kinda used to falling. It's the landing part that I just can't get used to

The moment that buck is in your crosshairs, you'll not even notice the weather cept to adjust for the wind.
