I got a .22 single shot , Winchester 67 , at 13 but all dad would let me shoot around the property at crows and groundhogs etc were BB caps. CIL bb caps came in a box of 100 for a buck and a quarter at the hardware store, they were actually more expensive than the CIL Whiz-Bang hp Long rifles at 50 cents a box of 50
I worked with and fished with Bill Spicer a few times back then, he bought the Grice and Young when I got one of Lorne's Stantons, this was well before Bill's fly fishing gig. The Stanton was followed by a gold Smith and Smith Streamaster which went on the IM6. I wasn't a fan of the line getting behind the spool of the Avon, I still have visions of pink Ande wrapped up there
I had a grey Premier 1562 before the IM6, looks like a black Grice and Young Avon there. Buddy that got me into float fishing had a 3 piece Lamiglass graphite 13 footer, it was a heavy blank in weight, Loomis was still working for Lamiglass I think when it came out
Years ago Dad had a cottage on Loon, we'd get them and good size too, but it was a night bite always because of the clear water, probably could count the ones we incidentily caught daytime on one hand in 20 years
Yeah, never used the snowblower once last year in Grimsby, had the present vehicle 3 years now , only 11,000 km , only venture out in good weather in winter , 16 years retired and with the cost of living going up , money is getting tight , not getting snows
Retired 16 years , had present vehicle 3 years and put 11,000 km on it, probably only 2000 of that in winter and last year the snowblower didn't get used so not in a snow belt, be damned if I am shelling out big bucks for snow tires here on the south shore of Lake Ontario . Never put snows on my first front wheel drive car either , a '76 Rabbit and I put that through all sorts of backroads and snow when I was younger hunting rabbits and coyotes. last snows I bought were bias ply and only on the back of a '79 GMC van
Dip netting is not a legal means of angling for most sport species , usually just legal bait species, smelt and coarse fish, there was an actual season that it was permitted as well. You really need clarification from a C.O.
