Yes, 1.4 gallons/minute

Ya everything flows fine, but youre right, the hose that connects the house tap to the hose reel does dribble a bit, so i will try some washers. Thanks

I live on a well and just used my new pressure washer for the first time. It worked well for the first 15 minutes or so, then the rest of the time pulsed, it was really ineffective. Is it because the pressure system in the house got drained and couldnt keep up? Do gas models build their own pressure? Would i be better off with one those? Thanks

As I said before, I am deemed an "essential" worker. I work in a car parts plant making parts for cars. I'm currently off as the plants we supply to in the states are closed, or just re-opened, so there are no orders yet. When I am there, I am working beside someone, on some of the lines as close as 2 feet apart, passing parts to the next person and them to the next person and so on, assembly line work. How an industry like this is essential in times like this is beyond me, but the government says it is so I will have to return to work when they need me. If I can go to work and work in those conditions, protective equipment or not, then I can trailer my boat 3 hours to an area where I will see, maybe a handful of people all day, not stopping for anything there and back. I will be using much more common sense in doing so, than the government and my company are using in requiring me to work to make parts for vehicles that aren't selling right now.

Check out the Akaso V50 pro, or elite models. Very good reviews, lots on youtube. Camera and all the accessories can be had right now from $138 to $190 depending on model. Save some bucks on the camera and use your savings to buy mounts for it or lures. My next purchase for sure.

Indeed, the article is a little over the top in places as well.

Personally, i am going to say yes to fishing. I wont be breaking any laws by going, i will be going places where the launches are still open and the chances of seeing more than a handful of people are slim. If they close the seasons, or mandate i must stay home, thats a different story. But if have to go to work, as i am still deemed "essential", then i am going fishing.

Why? Actually, on 2nd thought, i dont care, so need to respond. To each his own i guess, but to me they dont seem to make much sense. If you want to slow down or keep it simple, a 12' tinner and electric motor would be a better choice. Oh well, whatever floats your boat.

Partly, but also partly that the virus is not as dangerous as what we are being led to believe. How much of this is being done to take away our individual rights and freedoms? To drive an agenda.

OFAH info re: Covid 19 impact on fishing and hunting
big guy replied to Old Ironmaker's topic in General Discussion
With kids out of school and people not working, if you have the means to bug out and self sustain, finding your own corner of crown land is the best form of isolating yourself. -
There's a list on the OFAH site that shows everything that is closed in the province. It's loooooong. https://www.ofah.org/covid19closures/

this is gutting me, i had so much confidence going into this spring

Regarding the number of views this topic has and number who have signed the petition. Apples and oranges. People could be shore fishermen, or not a fisherman at all, just showing an interest in the topic. Its impossible to know why people view certain topics. As for the comments on this page, its no wonder threads get locked, why cant people discuss things rationally? Like the old saying, if you dont have anything good to say...

John Prine has died... covid 19. Saw him many years ago at the ontario place forum. Such a talented writer. RIP

Hope she is feeling better soon

Actually, unless things have changed in the last few days, a lot of hospitals, in this part of the world anyway, Lindsay area, are not maxed out. I have a sister that works there and she says its really nice working there right now, people are staying at home and not running to emerg for sniffles and cut fingers, the sort on non emergency stuff people always swamp the place with. Not disagreeing that first responders need to be able deal with whats important right now, but its a misconception that hospitals are swamped with covid patients. Most people are staying home to recover, only 3% of patients in the country are need of critical care to date. Unfortunately, when this is all said and done, i imagine the emerg units will return to their normal state of chaos, mostly for no reason.

Was talking about this very thing with a buddy yesterday. What will the fishing be like next year, or whenever we get to fish again, if we aren't going to be allowed to be on the the water for a while. It will be interesting for sure.

Good reply Dutch01, you make a strong case, but I wonder where we would be with all this if the Feds had gotten off their asses earlier than they did. They left the barn door open far too long in my opinion and that is why we're talking about these things, things we shouldn't need to discuss at all. But I guess I am digressing a little. Anyway, we'll see what happens in the very near future.

I understand that you worried about all this, we all are or should be, but I have been living with it since the middle of March when my wife started showing symptoms. She works at the Pinecrest home in Bobcaygeon and was diagnosed with it, her positive test result came back on March 27th. She has since recovered and has had 2 negative tests and is returning to work tomorrow. I'm not saying I am an expert about any of this, but when 1 person of your family has it and brings it home and the other 3 people in the home have yet to develop symptoms (knock on wood), since March 17th or so, it proves that isolation and taking precautions can work. Living in the same home with it, is far different than going fishing for a day where, as I said before, you are literally 100s of feet from another person. In my personal situation, I gravitate toward the smaller lakes of Haliburton and Eastern Ontario, where you see very few fisherman over the course of the day, sometimes none. Even launching in Fenelon, to fish Cameron Lake, you are never that close to another person to be worried about it being transmitted to you. If someone gets within 10 feet, you tell them to back off, it's that simple. Making comments about people being selfish does not help facilitate an intellectual discussion about it either. At the end of the day, the government will make the rules and the police will enforce them. So far there has been no mandatory order to stay home, just a strong suggestion and those suggestions are aimed at the people who weren't being smart in the cities that were taking their kids to parks etc. I don't see how a person fishing on their own in the middle of a lake is anywhere near the same situation. When and I believe it will happen, the government orders us to stay home and the police stop me from towing my boat to my favourite lake, then I will, until then we should be able to fish... with caution and using common sense. It really is a to each his own debate.

There have been 258 deaths in Canada so far, 22 of them have come from 1 nursing home in Bobcaygeon. Its caused by close contact, not by being 100s of feet apart on a lake.

Pretty sure no one on this board needs more tackle and you dont need bait to catch fish. Gas stations will always be open. Personally, i want to go fishing and should be able to given the places i usually go, which are off the beaten path.
