There's a culvert on a trib of the Irondale, on the Hwy east of Gooderham, near where the IOand B Rail Trail crosses , that was always good for a couple of pannies for breakfast. But that was years ago,too.

I saw stocking reports at one time that they put Browns in it just upstream of Blue Hawk Lake where it crosses Glamorgan Road, not sure if they still do that though. I would fish pan size Brookies in the Irondale but upstream off of Hadlington Lake Road.

Bought here in '83, the neighbours on both sides and over the back fence are the same people that were here 34 years ago , permits are pretty much issued here for minor stuff with a discussion over the fence

Yeah , it got to be that I got to be leery of getting on the water at the windless crack of dawn, too many times I'd launch and get out 5-6 miles and get all set up only to have to haul it all in within an hour when the sun got up in the sky a bit. Kings seemed to hit a bit better in the early morning hours if you could find them right off but I really never found Erie Pickerel fishing to be any better early.

30 some years living in eyeshot of Lake Ontario and Erie is worse , I learned not to book a weeks vacation with the thoughts of fishing that week, except for opening trout week when you could hit the creeks if the lake blew up chances were you would spend a good portion of the weeks watching whitecaps off the end of my street. Luckily, when I worked it was the continental 12 hour shift for the most part so I had 3 days off 1 week and 4 the next and I lived a couple of hundred yards from the launch.

Looks very similar to the marsh at Long Point with channels and dug ponds for duck hunting. My favourite was fishing this in summer from canoe with a 8/9 wt 9 1/2 flyrod, bass bug taper and big weedless streamers ( keel hooks) and deer hair poppers , frogs and mice.

Nice pond , local ponds as a kid were but a fraction that size and full of stunted bluegills if you were lucky, that's some fishery.

Saw some old posts about them, 2013 , said Josh at Angling Outfitters in Woodstock would be the Canadian Dealer, might want to check with him and see what became of that.

This actually has a better chance of providing angling opportunities than the Atlantic Salmon fiasco, unless , of course access to fishable water is horribly restricted and regulated. From what I have heard the Port Authority and other egomaniacs in position of power there can be a _____ at times.

The soil above a septic bed needs to be able to breathe, solid concrete or compaction from traffic is a problem, also the laterals can only be to a certain depth, else it won't work properly. You can't put in a septic bed and then go raising the grade above it later, either.
-
Ditto, the description of what is installed is like nothing I have ever heard of , could be opening a big can of worms.

It used to be the premiere destination for big walleyes in the 60/70's. A fellow I worked with won the Molson's Big Fish Contest back then with a 17 and change fish from the Moon Basin, many others as well in the top ten.

90 % of soldering problems is applying the solder before the work is hot enough, the other 10% is the surface isn't free of oxidation.

Glad you said that as that would be my thought on the matter as well, Engine running fine and suddenly dying and then running OK for a while and dying again, I would suspect a fuel delivery problem first. -
Accuwindow, for up to date weather.

Pelee Island is actually further south than northern California, so I've heard it said.

Love those cryovac packaged pork loins, I get them all the time at $1.99 a pound, sometimes $1.47 just recently. My basic rub is simple and do them low and slow. 2Tbsp garlic powder 2Tbsp onion powder 2tsp paprika 2tsp chili powder 1tsp ground cumin 1tsp table salt 1⁄2tsp black pepper, crushed 3Tbsp unpacked brown sugar cayenne optional Maybe try stuffed and rolled next time , looks awesome

Guess the free account I used for here and other forums is toast, went to log in with my user name and password as it logged me out for some reason , won't accept my password , says passwords must be 6 characters or longer, mine was only 5, had it for like 10+ years. No great loss, the pics are all on my external and if they are not going to allow 3rd party linking it will be pretty much useless anyway.
-
Mine are all still here too. The ones my wife had problems with were images on a club web page she designs and maintains for a group, maybe we a OK with linking to a forum like this .

Think it is the same track, will never forget the ' SUNDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY CAYUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA " ads on the radio. It will always be Cayuga to me, not Toronto Yeah getting old sucks IO , I got the old ladies disease " Osteoporosis " 67 going on 87, here . I don't do a lot I had planned on in retirement, too damned scared of taking a spill and breaking a hip, be careful.. EDIT; Maybe dementia is setting in as well, thinking about it again maybe the ads were " Sundaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy Niagaraaaaaaaa " for the speedway in Lancaster NY. yeah it really sucks.

That is really cool and nice restore job. I would love to see a Canadian made Horrocks Ibbotson bamboo fly rod if they did make any in Canada. As a long time resident here in Grimsby I've came across a bit of trivia years ago the they had a factory in town here as well . Came up with this link on a search just now. http://ontariolures.com/lurecompanies/horrocks.html

Any suggestions on a place to fish near Toronto to Barrie
dave524 replied to mj2112's topic in General Discussion
Fishing is good just downriver from the Peace Bridge, bass, musky and walleye, also the east end of Erie would be my first choice for a 5 pound plus smallie. -
We are doing the diet thing here, down almost 50 since Christmas. Been roasting all our veggies on a parchment covered cookie sheet in the oven at 425F after tossing with olive oil and a splash of Balsamic vinegar , salt pepper and spices of your choice. Don't think I'll ever go back to steaming, boiling or even French Fried potatoes. Beets, carrots, parsnip, sweet potato, white potato, asparagus, cauliflower, slices of cabbage , turnip it's all good edit: https://www.google.ca/search?q=roasted+root+vegetables&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjxlb_K_-XUAhUi8IMKHdNiB8sQ_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=638#tbm=isch&q=roasted+vegetables+in+oven
