  1. I was a Hardy Fibalite guy in the glass rod era (late 60's/70's), still got a couple and the matching Marquis . Shorter rods demand higher casting skill, Lee Wulff would fish Atlantics on 6 foot rods on the old black and white clips of my youth, wish I still had my old green Garcia Lee Wulff 6 foot glass rod, big bucks now with collectors.
  2. Nice, I like the line wt., I always found it less work to throw wind resistant bugs and poppers with an adequate line rather than fight with too light a line like a 5/6 wt. I like a bit more length though for smallies but I usually waded or fished from a canoe and low to the water.
  3. That probably includes the road blocks on Hwy 69 and 11 where they wave over anyone that looks like a moose hunter and check them if they still do that sort of thing.
  4. ^^^^^^^ Thanks for the Lowell George, the Waiting for Columbus album is on every device I own that plays music.
  5. Google " weekly twice a day pill organizer " get them at Dollarama ?
  6. For the next 6 months it will be a Loomis 13 foot IM6 and a 2nd Generation Smith and Smith centrepin, it's loaded with green 10lb Trilene XT.
  7. High quality stream 320 Kbps , good selections http://stream.psychomed.gr/webstream rock-blues.html
  8. IMHO, as someone who hit the OCS site at the stroke of midnite Wednesday and found a poor selection and an even poorer selection in the larger weights and later in the day revisited to find even those were sold out, they are going to have to get their act together if they want to displace the illegal market. Originally they said 1-3 days delivery and then revised that to 3-5 days, my order from the first hour after opening, just went out a 5pm yesterday. Considering all the media attention the first week was a majour flop for the customers, not impressed.
  9. I got a couple of years on you. https://www.walleyeheaven.com/ontariorecordwalleye.htm
  10. Growing up , the world record was listed as a 22 1/2 pound fish from the mouth of the Niagara on Erie , fishing is better now than then but 14 is about as big as I have heard in the last 20 years. If I was getting a walleye boat for Erie it would be a 20-22 foot walkaround cuddy.
  11. Makes no sense, Thompson Center Contender carbines, built on a handgun action, can easily be configured back to handguns with over the counter non restricted parts, yet they are non restricted when sold as long guns like the Rossi Circuit Judge. edit : the insanity is that I can take my restricted Contender pistol and replace the barrel with a factory rifle length barrel and the pistol grip with a full buttstock making it identical to the non restricted factory rifles , BUT , it is still , in the eyes of the law , it is still restricted and can't take it hunting because the serial number is registered as a pistol, insert wallbash emoticon here.
  12. I am finding this is the best way to do most vegetables, asparagus to zucchini, both of those are better with a sprinkle of parm cheese though. I do 400 though.
  13. Do you mean carry both at the same time ? There is no problem carrying a shotgun for grouse during the rifle moose season, if you don't have a valid moose licence number 2 or smaller shot or nothing bigger than a 22 rimfire without a big game tag, same thing during a rifle deer season no buckshot or centrefire rifles afield without a tag
  14. Glenn is a year younger than me, and he still sounds as good as he did 40 plus years ago, how does that happen ? I'd probably be dead if I did half the crap he did.
  15. I had one fight for over half an hour, didn't know it was on cause it couldn't trip the downrigger release, think that story of the 47 pounder was posted April 1st.
  16. Just because you read it on the internet doesn't make it true ? https://www.in-depthoutdoors.com/community/forums/topic/walleye_67523/
  17. You sure of the location ? looks like Okanagan Lake to me,
  18. Seen smallies ruin a few Brook Trout lakes when I fished backwood lakes in Haliburton, Lakers however seem to co-exist with the bass OK, Now, I understand darn jackfish are making inroads in Haliburton , there goes the neighbourhood ?
  19. Big problem with this thread is that winter varies so much with your location, here, I feel it was a bad winter if I have to fire up the snow blower more than 3 times.
  20. https://mapleleafsnation.com/2018/10/11/the-top-four-scorers-in-the-nhl-are-all-leafs/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Do we really need Nylander ? His bargaining position is getting weaker with this kind of production, maybe we'd be better off saving the cap space ?
  21. It's catching on, in both Switzerland and Germany catch and release has been banned unless it is out of season or a protected species, if it is a legal fish it's dinner.
  22. I resemble that remark, 1 vehicle since I retired 10 years ago, a 2006 Jeep 4 wheel drive Liberty with 84 K on it, the Goodyear Wranglers on it get me around just fine the days we go out in the winter. Barring a medical emergency we wait for the roads to be cleared in winter, I refuse to blow out the driveway until the plows go through and it stops snowing, not clearing the end of the drive twice. ?
  23. I retired June of 2008, that first year was anything but fun, hope it's not a repeat of 10 years ago.
  24. Most of the waters I fish don't have a heavy enough flow to effectively fish a spoon but when fish are aggressive quartering a spinner, flatfish or Kwikfish downstream is quite the change from the normally subtle take when float fishing.
  25. Those are sodium nitrite , Prague Powder . Think you want sodium chloride.
