Was there a few years back. 2014 to be exact. A few posts about Biscotasi. Brian is a good host. Fishing was good. Take a guide on the first day. It pays off big. Only point of supply is the General Store at the landing. Make sure you get gas at the corner before you pull onto the Sultan rd. And some sections of the timber road can get rough.

There are a few "original" families in the area, owning large tracts of. land and numerous businesses. They keep the neighbourhood peaceful.

I still don't know how to take care of myself

Contrary to rumours, and any bad odors around here, I'ma still alive and a kicking. Past 2 years have been a whirlwind of activity. Nary a day to catch one's breath. Was nice to see a few familiar faces on Sunday in Peterborough.

A number of production facilities have been shut down, on and off. Others, to provide social distancing, have reduced number of employees in plant at any one time.

You'll be in paradise now Cliff.

Have not paid for a cut or trim in 12 years. My Wahl set lasted 15 years, and I got a new set for Christmas. $60 for the clipper or $150 a year for the barber

Down here in Niagara I still find lots of meat deals. Brisket was $3.99lb. Striploins (AAA) now $9.95, and these were over an inch thick. Lean ground beef $2.99 pork loin logs $1.77. I have to do a certain amount of homework every week, but it pays off.

The lake went through huge changes and storm surges back in the 70's. I remember, as a teen, watching the news on TV showing cottages falling off the shore on L Erie. Big storms and high waters were the culprits back then as well.

I miss those trips as well. Lots of fun banter with good people

My anti-virus programme and my email have spam blockers.

They are nearly finished the park side, next is the reconstruction of the east side.

This was in response to this summer's outrageous numbers of rescues.

From what I understand, they were trying to close the whirlpool trails. dropping trees across the paths, etc... back about 2 weeks past. People were trying to put on a protest demonstration, but I believe that fizzled.

And my daughter and my grandaughter. Little George is already bugging about next year.

It was one heck of a week

We've got some 14-15 inch rockies up in Nippissing in the past.

Welcome to the post Covid world

Orillia could not simply close the waterfront. They would face outrage from their own residents, as previously mentioned. Secondly, closing public beaches without closing the public marina and ramps would be seen as discriminatory. Third,chasing away the tourists completely would cripple their tourist based economy.

Was 3 years since I last had a vacation. It felt soooo good. No worries, phone calls, e-mails or schedules.

We were in the heart of central Saskatchewan. Biggest town in the area was 500 souls. A lot of the towns are now half empty. Fantastic area for a fisherman's retirement.

There is some fantastic waters in the province. Guess that's why Charlie Wray keeps going back.

As long as you both have fun, the winning is secondary.

Finally, a worthy fishing report. As a gift for my birthday, The family paid to fly me out to the prairies for a 10 day fishing trip. What a fantastic time with my family. Then there was the fishing. Never hit the water for more than 4-5 hours each day, yet we were catching 50-120 fish per session. The tactics were simple. Baitholders with leeches, and our worm harnesses tipped with worm, leech or minnow. Minnow and ball jigs , with a sickle hook or casting jigs tipped with twisters or paddle tales. The fish were insane. Walleye out there were fighters, not dead weight. Pike were a lot thicker across the back as compared to pike in southern Ontario. Did not manage any trophy pike, but we landed a lot of solid ones in the 30-36" range. Managed to land a lot of 25-28" walleye

Canada is full of "dirty" history. Look up Christie Pits riot, or Africville expulsion. all nations have their skeletons in the closet.
