Think it will be business as usual in Canada, the Wonderbread name is owned by George Weston/ Loblaws here and the Hostess/Fritolay Brand by Saputo out of Montreal. Not structured anything like the Hostess brand in the states. BTW Hostess does not have twinkies in Canada

That is sad. I just checked and it is still the same regs as when I bow and shotgun/muzzleloader hunted deer in the controlled areas. The Archery season closes during the shotgun/muzzleloader hunt and reopens when it is over. Something else is amiss here if they were both out at the same time.

Tung Oil or Boiled Linseed oil will both darken the wood and hide the grain , do the Truoil.

Don't put it on too heavy , multiple light coats is better. Yes a coat every year or so after the intial coats would be good. It is water resistant. Even though it says truoil I believe it is a plastic with oil like properties. Your old 222 has a slower twist rifling than is common today, probably best with bullets in the 40 to 50 grain tops range, if you are handloading for it.

Fine old rifle, give the stock a few coats of Birchwood Casey "TruOil". Hope the bore is still good, I'd give it a cleaning with J-B bore cleaning compound.

My rule of thumb is just the opposite, the later and colder it gets the more roe I use, hardware is better when it is early and warmer.

Just finished watching this , incredible voice for his age, maybe actually better than the Deep Purple/Black Sabbath days. Only 1167 views is criminal <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2Xd4ss3uyVg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Seen that on the Long Point page, actually 2, but they figure it was the same fish caught twice

I often strap a pin on a 9 1/2 fly rod with a detachable fight butt for smaller brushy creeks. The flyrod has low profile ceramic guides all the way to the tip, don't think I would do it with traditional snakes. I does work well .

Lifting Steelhead Legal ? any other oldtimers remember maybe 25 years ago when the term "lifting" was a technique to impale a fish in some place other than the mouth. Flossing seems to have taken its place. Rich, think I know where you are talking about, there was a push to remove that dam by sportmen and I think the town voted to repair it There are brookies in that system but isn't there another dam further upstream so the rainbows couldn't get that far. Don't know about the legality of it, it is the same body of water.

The Chinook are pretty much done but I find fresh runs of Coho sporadically during the fall right up to freeze up, IMHO they are a better fish on the spawning run anyway.

Don't forget to grab a cheap shrimp ring the cheaper the better cause they are smaller. Also packed a can of salad shrimp in your steelie gear, keeps you fishing if you run out a bait, just for emergencies or snacks

Better than a wire or mono weedguards see if you can get your hands on some keel fly hooks. The ones I used to use were Eagle Claw and I found a higher percentage of hook ups with them as opposed to a weed guard and they are pretty weedless too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KeelFlyHook.jpg Some green and yellow dyed grizzly saddle hackle should make a good perch imitator.

Think you can send text messages to a cell number thru some of the online messaging apps like Yahoo Messenger.

In lakes I generally will use spoons, in streams I generally use spinners. Really it is more an issue of depth control, spoons will get deeper in a lake and spinners are more easily worked in skinny water of a stream.

Teenage buddy had one similar in the early sixties, pretty sure the plans came from the old Mechanics Illustrated mag. That looks like a step up from what he had, like Irish says we were fine with a 10 horse on the back but one day we clamped on a 18, and that was wild , had to beach it to stop or you would sink OHH!! the one he had was called a Sea Flea, lots of info if you google it. He and his dad built it in the garage, rounded bottom from memory not a tunnel.

Friend of my wife's husband used to charter and is the past president of a club on Lake Michigan, went to their website a couple days ago, shocked at the size of the salmon during a recent August Derby, something really has to be done and this is a start. Check out the low weights http://www.salmonunlimitedinc.com/suopen.html

I got a neighbour that's got a leaf blower that sounds like a F-18, love to do that to his. 6 leaves fall on his drive and he fires the damned thing up

Lake Ontario is my main fishing interest, not heard bout 5 being too high, but a lot of chat about when all 5 are bows being too high. Leave the aggregate limit at 5 salmon or trout but not more than 2 can be trout. Think both camps would support this.

Man, that is a big'un Young's used to get quite a run of them when I frequented that area back in the late 80's, they would really getted stacked up in the santuary area marked by the wire below the culvert down at the mouth. Is there even still a sanctuary there and a wire? There was the occasional lake run brown back then too. The male pinks are pretty aggressive on small spinners the females were a tough catch.

Good shooting The first 2 pics I'd say are both Chinook, the darker smaller fish will head upriver very soon to spawn , the silver one will spend another year in the lake and spawn next year.

I read somewhere it is actually better to use a previously frozen fish as the freezing breaks down the cell walls and you get better penetration of the brine/marinade into the meat.

Look identical to Blakemore " Road Runners" to me , up to 1 oz at Cabelas. I love the small white maribou ones for crappie and larger ones for Erie smallies. http://www.cabelas.com/panfish-jigs-blakemore-road-runner-bucktails-1.shtml

In 1999 I traded my pickup in on a GMC Safari van and got one of these for hauling crap, still got it, tow it behind a Jeep Liberty now. Yard waste to the dump, yards of topsoil, sheets of plywood , lumber. Got it for a 1000 including tax but I think they are $1200 now, would never go back to a pickup. Older now and I find the height more user friendly , especially with stuff like a yard of topsoil, plus you can drop it and unload the soil as needed. Way heavier duty than the similar stuff at CTC. 3500 pound axle http://hitchmantrailers.ca/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22_39_56&products_id=88&osCsid=eb1cf18a96c6539f5dd813a034055986

Yeah what he said , even with 2 small deer you are looking at over 150 pounds with pork addedd , maybe over 200. Fooled around with smaller quantities on our own, but 1 time we have that amount and went commercial, can't begin to imagine doing that amount on my own with small hand tools.
