the spirit of fishing

Those look fantastic.👏

Thanks for reminding me about this album. Just downloaded to my spotify playlist.😃

That sure looked like a fun time had by all. Thanks for sharing.

Looks really good! Sounds like a great trip.

Bison is the brand I have on my truck.

I have a trifold hard cover on my truck. On my previous truck I had this cover for 4 1/2 years with zero issues : https://www.costco.ca/tonnopro-lo-roll-premium-vinyl-roll-up-tonneau-cover.product.100016100.html . However I decided I liked the look and added security of the hard tonneau for my new truck. After having the hard cover for 3 years it's a decision I regret because: 1) loading and unloading from the truck bed is more difficult , 2) the panels are a bit heavy so my short wife can't handle them from the ground, 3) the front panel is always down on the box rails unless the cover is completely removed , more extra work After having the hard cover I was thinking of the added security and I realised that most people around my home have soft covers. I have NEVER heard of anyone having a tonneau cover cut open or broken into, around here on anywhere. Although I'm sure it has happened somewhere how likely is it to happen? I'm actually considering changing mine back to the roll up type. Just my feelings, hope it helps.

Good work and thanks for the report. Hope to see many more reports in the future.👏

I remember the last cup win too. Before I retired my co-workers would give me grief about the Leafs last cup win. They would usually go quiet when I said "I went to 4 Stanley Cup parades for Leafs championships. How many have you been too for your team?" Hopefully I'm around for the next one. I'm not confident it will be this year but as long as they're playing there's a chance.

As usual an awesome read. Congrats on another great year!👏

Happy to hear the good guys won this round. Really fortunate the warden responded so quickly.

Since you didn't get one I can forward you the one I got.😏

Sorry to hear of your loss. Sounds like he had a happy life and you were his best friend. It will be tough for awhile but you will have your memories to cherish forever.

I stayed in Nipigon with my family in 2022. Unfortunately I wasn't able to escape them while there to do any serious fishing. I did speak with the guy who owns this place and he was very forthcoming with information so I recommend you contact him. https://nipigonriver.com/ He also has a fishing guide from 2021 you can download for free that covers the area or buy the updated one for $19.99 (he told me there was very minimal changes from 2021 and the 2021 edition would be just as useful). Check the regulations as I think brook trout is already closed in the Nipigon River.

I went to Shining Tree for twenty years until 2021. One time we were coming back from a splake lake and stopped in there to check it out although we never stayed there. The camp looked quite nice. Our group preferred a more rustic camp so we never went beyond just visiting. Most of our trips were in the spring but we did take some fall trips when grouse hunters were around. We didn't hunt but the hunters seemed pleased with their success. If you decide to go and want some info on fishing in the area let me know. We targeted walleye, specks, lakers, rainbow, aurora and splake. Lots of smallmouth and pike in the area too. The picture in my avatar is the aurora I caught in that area.

Ran across this today and thought some might be interested. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fishing-tournament-cheating-guilty-jacob-runyan-chase-cominsky/
