We used to run into a hatch of those on the Rocky Saugeen many years ago fishing Specs, we would use #16 light Cahills to fish the rise, but it wasn't really necessary as the Brookies are dumber than a bag of hammers , never do get really selective when it comes to food like resident Bows and especially Browns.

Early '80's a treble still counted as 3 when live bait fishing, hence sucker rigs for Musky used a single and 1 treble. Later the rule was changed so a treble was considered 1 hook . A treble was always considered 1 hook for artificial lures but only 3 were allowed on a plug, not sure when that was upped, definitely the rule in the '60/70's.

The old days when the flatfish with 2 pairs of trebles on those hangers/spreaders were illegal too, could not even use 2 trebles on a musky quick strike harness.

I'd say it is a Heddon Dowagiac Minnow , but missing the front hooks. Worth some bucks in good condition with the box. Scroll down a bit https://www.wideopenspaces.com/9-old-fishing-lures-tackle-box-just-hit-payday/

They missed one, disguised as your grandpa's thuddy-thuddy 🤣 http://ericnestor.com/what-the-brickwurx-mfg-lever-action-red-ryd-ar/?fbclid=IwAR3VVjn6_GCwgCuJNtIk2E5HrtYzVNs9fdomCwrIaqcts0HeVkrpKIMtHbc

go for it, there is a few around Long Point. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-powerboat-motorboat/ottawa/last-one-sold-mud-motor-long-tail-motor-kit/1424311401

Reminds me of the popular sea fleas that were built from Mechanics Illustrated Plans around 1960, we didn't tweak the motors though

As a teen I cut a similar sized place for 3 bucks, that would get you 12 beer and a pack of smokes, doing the math 12 beer is now 20 bucks and smokes are what? $15 , so $ 35 sounds fair.

In '68 dad bought a cottage on Loon/Dudmon Lake in Haliburton for $8800, sold it in the late '80s for ten times that. It has been extensively renovated but I ran across it up for rent a few years ago , would have cost the same $8800 to rent for 4 weeks 🤯

At Port Colborne and Long Point , there are sanctuary areas that don't open till 2 weeks after the regular opener. Been like that for all my 70 years, simple old solution to the problem, don't waste our money on analyzing the problem further, committees, boards, public feedback, just do it. As for preseasonn catch and release only ? I don't think many keep bass even during the open season.

It connects with Baptiste which is quite a bit deeper and at one time even had Lake Trout, with the connection it opens more water than most smaller lakes to an avid boater.

We have only flattened the curve here in Niagara, the numbers are not going down yet, what are these idiots thinking by opening things up so soon , going to end up losing the whole summer if it backfires edit: just speaking as part of the most vulnerable segment of society

My wife is American, she never has heard them called pogos, I have my pogo and pop she has a corndog and soda 🤣

Wonder if Canadian Tire or the new owner of this will get his money back in the buyout program

Be advised , I had a lot of old 50's vintage canning books and hand written recipes, some of those recipes and methods are no longer Ag Canada/USDA approved . But then again I am still here 🤣

Hope it wasn't left all winter with water in it , you need to at least pump some plumbing antifreeze or better one of those squeeze bottles of seal conditioner and antifreeze thought it till it come out the pressure side.

Not OK anymore, the Mini 14 is now on the prohibited list including the Mini 30 , it used to be unregistered, I used one with a 20 round mag for some coyote hunting before the mag restrictions.

No, the government is using the wrong term calling all the semi autos on that list " assault rifles " a semi auto clone is no more an assault rifle than the Ford Fusion on your local dealers' lot is a race car cause it has the same body as something they race in NASCAR.

Assault rifles have been banned since 1976, only semi auto look alikes have available since then and even most of those have been registered as they are restricted.

There was a big scare about these a few years back, everyone panicked, turned out to be the native Cicada Killers, but that was not reported with the same sensationalist fanfare, everyone missed the retract.

Just won a bunch of Blues Award, he is only 21, still hope for the future of blues

The MNR and Conservation Authority pine plantations down in Norfolk County always had a lot way back when I lived there. Any old pine stands planted in rows around your area?

My original intent was not a thread for discussion , but perhaps a sticky of the the current list of newly prohibs for reference of the gun owners' here and then closed to posting, this link is the official transcript of the Order in Council http://canadagazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2020/2020-05-01-x3/html/sor-dors96-eng.html

Official List , to be updated in case they missed some. http://canadagazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2020/2020-05-01-x3/html/sor-dors96-eng.html

See a lot like the cheap, easily obtainable SKS like CTC sells and the popular Ruger Mini 14 , that aren't even restricted now on the list. With the long gun registry supposedly gone, they have no record of who owns these, betting a few hundred thousand out there, honour system to comply , I guess.
