So our download speed is 5 Mbps and upload is 800 Kbps. Do you think the download speed will be adequate enough? I personally have my doubts, but don't know a great deal about all this. Due to where we live, that's as fast as we can get at the moment.

No problem with the download limit, for $10 extra a month we have unlimited. I will just have to verify what our bandwidth is as far down and up, then go from there. Thanks

Is there a way to block channels you don't want your kids to watch? Also, we are rural, but have high speed Bell internet and a wireless modem, what is everyone's experience with streaming live TV, such as hockey games with this type of internet? Will it be too choppy to watch? We have a smart TV and have tried streaming sports through other providers such as Hockey Streams, I think that's what it was called, and it was unwatchable. I'm wondering if the Gbox would be a better receiver of the wireless signal compared to the TV, as it probably doesn't have the best, most robust software, RAM etc. Any thoughts on this anyone? Thanks

Was out from Beaverton a few weeks back looking for perch, no one was catching anything, operators, do it yourselfers, everyone was finding the fishing very tough. Was thinking of heading out again and was wondering if the fishing had picked up since then. Does anyone know? Thanks

Lots of ice cubes there. Where's the crown

Think like a detective, put the clues together. It was Professor Plum in the Ball Room with the candlestick.

So you think it all just happened by chance? That they pulled up to a square piece of thick ice surrounded by barely any ice and had a double header of nice rainbows on, which they already were fighting when the camera started filming?

100% staged. The caught those fish elsewhere, brought them to that location in their livewells, hooked them again and slid them back down the hole. Henry Wazchuk anyone?

Hmmmm

Have any pictures been released of this recent catch?

Thanks for the intelligent come back. Don't believe me, look it up, do a search for David Suzuki being in the Q&A show, read about it, read the links associated with the article, educate yourself, just don't rely on the word of a guy who has made a career out of being a warning label. Btw, not saying the nuclear threat isn't real, just saying that Suzuki always takes the absolute worse case scenario for his stance. Does it seem realistic to evacuate the entire west coast due to a nuclear meltdown in Japan? Given that nuclear fallout could travel northward toward Alaska and get caught up in a polar current just as easy as traveling straight west. Nuclear fallout of that magnitude would affect the entire world eventually, especially the northern hemisphere, so saying that the west coast would need to be evacuated is the extremist point of view he gets people hooked on.

David Suzuki is a sham, an alarmist, an extremist, as phony as they come. In the 70s he was one of many on the band wagon, convinced another ice age was upon us, now he is on the global warming pulpit. In a recent interview on the talk show Q & A on the Australian Broadcast Corporation, he was questioned about the science behind global warming, the stats the show the earth's warming has actually levelled off over the last 15 years, despite carbon dioxide level increasing exponentially every year. He was unable to answer the questions he was asked and knew nothing of the various world-wide temperature monitors. Many scientists now believe methane levels may be responsible for increased temperatures over the last century. But don't tell Suzuki this, as he does not know the science behind any of it, he is a fraud. I would not believe a word that comes out of his mouth, this is his latest soapbox stunt.

Ahhh nice, a fellow OV drinker, there are few of us, but we are kings indeed. Was up there many moons ago, camped in the inlet, know exactly where you're fishing there, boats always congregated there in the low light hours. Beautiful area. If you don't mind, can you speak to the accommodations you had, always looking for a new place to go. Which cabin did you stay in? What's the place like? How far from the lodge to the river? Appreciate it.

I always have a roll of toilet paper in the boat, inside an ice cream container and a lighter. The paper can serve two purposes. If I am going some place that doesn't have cottages along the shoreline, I also carry Ronson's lighter fluid and a blue tarp for an emergency shelter.

Yes, lots of them in the grass here as well and cheap entertainment for the dog.

Fish do not feel pain, so it may have healed and carried on business as usual

Training camp starts on the 11th. So no, not almost 4 weeks, almost one week.

More the agent treading the player astray than the player himself. Agents are scum.

Was by Onaping the week before last, water seemed to going thru the river and falls pretty good. Where we were, closer to Chapleau, the water was higher than normal for this time of year, so I imagine it's the same for most areas up there.

Those two on the panel don't come across like they are overly intelligent.

Dave Mercer came by and picked up Bryan Bickell and Lord Stanley's mug for a day of fishing. http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=48&id=442691&lang=en

Thanks for the reply, now it makes more sense to me, definitely an arduous task finding someone in an area that big. May God be with you.

One thing I find odd about all this is that there is no mention of what type of canoe Daniel had, unless I missed it. I read all the stories about it, did he not have a canoe with him? If he did, it seems odd that they have located so many pieces of clothing and gear, but no canoe, which is obviously considerably larger. Most canoes and boats are designed to float at water level if swamped, just seems very strange to me that if he had one with him, it has not been found.

Well like I say, we're heading up Saturday and will be targeting pickerel first, pike second as I have my two sons going and am hoping to get them on to some fast hammerhandle action, whitefish third and lakers in one of the nearby lakes. I've got my Swedish pimples packed and a bunch of other smaller baits such as small jig heads to tip with worms, small twister tails gulp baits and panfish style tubes and meal worms. Hopefully at least one of those will do the trick.

I don't think the Whitefish have tailed off, it's probably because most people will fish for pickerel and pike first. From what I have read the whitefish population still seems to be strong. When I was up there in '95, most of the people that were there were from Michigan and they targeted whitefish almost exclusively. I think most Canadians prefer whitefish fishing in the winter.
