Hey KawarthaAngler, Im also on Upper Buckhorn ( in the Kawartha Hideaway back bay area) and I have found it really tough to tell where the levels are. I'vebeen watching the Trent Waterway site which says that as of today we are 13 inches above average levels (included below), but it really didn't feel that much higher. Then my neighbour showed me some older photos of his dock...were definitely a foot above normal. Buckhorn Lake (Level Gauge) - Water Level (m) Date Current Average Min Max Jan 28 245.981 245.65 245.3 246.34

Water levels are definitely higher then normal...not sure if as high as folks are saying ...Just grabbed todays waterlevel results for Buckhorn... .293 meters above average...it has been dropping over the last couple of days, but more rain coming tonight. Buckhorn Lake (Level Gauge) - Water Level (m) Date Current Average Min Max Jan 24 245.993 245.7 245.27 246.32

Don't forget about Cabelas they usu ally have good stock Just up the 400 about 25 minutes then you can head back on the north side of Simcoe I live in Mississauga and have a place on Buckhorn and i take that route occasionally ....nice drive

Winter tires real dont cost anything...here is my thinking. if your going to keep you car for 120k or more...your going to have to buy a set of new tires. Buying a set of winter tires at the beginning means you split the mileage over both sets of tire. So over 120k...go through 2 sets of all season tires or ...go through 1 set of all season, 1 set of winter tires. I recognize its more money up front...but for a small cost difference at the end, you'll have the benefit of winter tires...not to mention some insurance companies give you a small discount if you have winters.

Aaron is always entertaining. I think its time for another 39 hours !!

Chris and the guys at Shimano are fantastic. They know their stuff and stand behind the product. I've had a great experience with them clean and tuning reels. A couple of years ago, I tripped in the boat, had one of my Curados in my hand and I snapped the handle off at the shaft. Reel was only 6 months old but I broke it so had every expectation that there would be a cost to repair. Went into Shimano, told them exactly what happened...response was " it should not have broke" ...told them, Im a big guy and fell on a small reel....still " the shaft shouldn't have broke" ...no charge. Kinda felt guilty...but solidified me as a Shimano customer for life...I don't buy anything else.

Don't forget about the trailer wheel wells. I have an 1875 Lund Impact which is a bit narrower then the Pro V and with the trailer I have exactly 3/4" of clearance on my 8ft garage doors.

Thanks...appreciate it.

"Upon further inspection of the trailer, the officers discovered a chest freezer with a built-in compartment under a false bottom " "87 over the combined possession limit for Krueger and his spouse" Geez if this doesn't warrant a lifetime ban I cant image what would.

found the article... http://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/hundreds-of-employees-evacuated-as-fire-rips-through-shimano-factory-and-headquarters-in-japan-374394

Hey Guys I have seen pictures of the "when did the ice go out on Chemong" sign in Bridgenorth...have tried to find it a couple times...but no luck. Anyone know exactly where it is? Thanks

Polarized glasses are a huge benefit. Allows you to see into the water column rather then just surface reflection. Any good quality pair of polarized glasses will do...the wrap around type that block all light from coming in from the sides are best.

thanks guys...appreciate the insight....looking forward to it.

Hey guys I had a perch weekend on Simcoe booked with the boys this Saturday...first time for all of us. After the recent thaw and a warmer Saturday how safe will it be out there? Im booked with Mitchells in Beaverton. Thanks

the app will notify you on an annual basis. It can be a bit misleading...ask you for the update...you may not notice that its charging your account the 17 bucks. I copied this from their app page.... Navionics+ is a one-year subscription. Download detailed maps by zooming in or from Menu>Download Map: Once mine expired I could see the maps but none of the contour details

It is a great app and worth the money...dont forget its an annual subscription.

The DES switch will not kill the motor if its not seated properly...you will hear a constant beep until its positioned properly. if the carbs were cleaned it could be a low idle setting. there is a knob on the center of the carb assembly that you can turn with your hand...start the machine and give it a turn and you will hear the revs increawe or decrease...try raising the idle revs a bit.

I get you point but its also a safety issue. I know most people that fish from the causeway are not the issue but some folks forget they are on a major roadway, every year I have to dodge at least 2 or 3 people that just 'walk out on to the road' I do understand the littering problem as well, I fish in Gagnon narrow a fair bit and every time I leave a I have pretty good pile of garbage in the boat I have picked up from the shore lines.

You'll regret not going with the Terrova, as mentioned smother stow and deploy, iPilot with foot pedal and built better. The big issue with the Powerdrive is the joke of an analog foot pedal, my buddy is on his third and you never know when its going to let you down so you have to have a spare on hand. Put the extra $s into a Terrova

Im looking to do a day of Perch and another day of trout\whitefish....is there a better time of year for perch? thanks

Hey Guys I have a place on Upper Buckhorn, but looking to do a day trip with the boys. Looking for Walleye and Smallmouths an hour or so north of the Buckhorn\Peterborough area. Any suggestions for a good lake in the area? Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

if you know where you picked it up you can call the city, they keep records of the crews and locations and are accountable. Had a friend pick up a new car in Woodbridge...drove home on the 407 and when he got home noticed the side had been sprayed with white paint...now dry. Contacted 407 and their insurance covered it.

Looking to do a day trip into Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park...bass, walleye. Anyone fish there before? Is there area in the park that is best suited, boat ramp, parking etc. Any info would be appreciated. thanks

Ok..so I'll start by saying that I firmly believe in recycling and consider myself a pretty 'green' guy. We've had a place in Trent Lakes for about 10 years and during that time I've witnessed a transformation of the waste dump. 10 years ago it was pretty informal, well managed and pretty easy going. You got a once a year free day tipping pass for spring cleanup and the only thing you really got charged for was refrigeration appliances...completely understandable. In the last five years its transformed into something very different, limited number of bags ...not only per year, but for each quarter..use em or lose em. Clear bags only and massive chargers for other waste. I dropped of a small pile of construction waste, filled a quarter of my small trailer...35 bucks. The same would have cost me under 5 bucks at the Mississauga dump. Also a transfer station. The real frustrating thing is that today when we did a dump run it took 25 minutes in line. They are going through cars like your at the boarder...its easier to get on an international flight then to get into the Buckhorn dump...but that's not the frustrating thing. I counted 14 people working there...for a dump?!?! Anyway I'm all for advancing the manner in which we manage our waste...but the manner in which they are doing it seems counter intuitive. ...and I didn't even mention the massive cardboard compactor (about the size of a truck trailer) that they purchased and I have heard doesnt work. I hate feeling that I'm funding their inefficiencies and bad business decisions. Curious is others are seeing similar transformations.

I was up on Upper Buckhorn on Saturday. Water level is way up. I have a ramp on my dock that usually slopes down 3 or 4 inches...currently slopping up at least 10. Water level is way up an close to a record high for this time of year. I also saw a couple of dock sections floating out in the middle of the lake...really hard to see so be careful out there.
