Well like Big Jim McBob and Billie S0L Hurok say, BLOW 'EM UP REAL GOOD! YEEHAW! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bda_eIX3J2Y&feature=related

For some reason, Quint, the old grizzled fisherman from Jaws just popped to mind.

Awesome. I think I mentioned this the last time you posted, but Joanne and I stayed at the same place. We had one of the rooms on the water in the lagoon as well. I spent an hour one evening drinking cerveza and feeding the fish cheesies LOL! To this day the coffee at that resort is the best I've ever tasted.

Good move, that commute must have been murder. I'm in there fairly regularly, looking forward to meeting you.

What an incredible story my friend. Man were you guys lucky with that fire! Amazing fish and an even more amazing lack of snow in the bush! Like my grandad used to say, that's memories for the rocking chair there son.

I don't have a clue, but I know someone who might. I'll call them later today and see what I can dig up.

Bag of frozen hash browns 2 cups grated cheddar Small container of sour cream 2 cans cream of mushroom soup 1/4 cup melted butter Bacon bits and chopped onion if you like (Chopped ham is good too) Through it all in a casserole dish and bake at 350 for 40 mins. 10 mins before it's ready melt some more grated cheese on top

Oh, well that's okay then.

I have no problems with Burke. He's a smart man and not afraid to make a bold move when necessary. I will however never forgive JFJ for giving Rask to the Bruins.

Awesome buddy she's gonna be sweet! I'll never step foot in it though. No way no how I'm getting in boat with you that does 85mph.

Obviously Burke didn't think they'd finish this low. If he had any clue he wouldn't have made the trade. However as far as I'm concerned if the Leafs are strong next year he still wins the trade. He's already proven he's able to find young talent elsewhere besides the draft (Bozak, Gustavson, Hanson).

I figured some of you guys might be interested as I know a bunch of you are headed there this year. Eddies camp will be featured in an episode of Canada In The Rough, Wild TV tonight at 7pm. It's also on Global Sat 6:30am. Thomas Pigeon filmed a moose hunt up there last fall. I havn't seen it yet myself but heard it's pretty good. Cheers, Mike

Forget Daigle. Any of you Habs fans remember Doug Wickenheiser? I believe they passed on Dennis Savard to pick this guy. LOL! I believe the Leafs will be much better next year. I wonder what spot Kessel would be drafted this year if he was magically eligible? He may very well go first overall. The guy is still a kid and is a proven commodity.

First two are both salmon parr. Tail is too forked in the second one to be a trout. Seriously nice brook trout man!

Yep you had me with the title. Was wondering what you were doing fishing for bait. Nice fish man!

Good lookin' lad. Kids are great aren't they?

Nice to see you had a chance to get out Carole.

I hope that was just teaser. Sounds like a heckuva fish!

Looks as though you've been busy. Great report Ryan and as far as steelheading goes you're welcome anytime. It'll still be decent for a couple more weeks.

Change doesn't come overnight. He's rebuilt the defense, improved the goaltending dramtically imo, and releived the team of many of contractual millstones. As mentioned they're now the youngest team in the league. Overall team speed is the best I've seen in years. Seriously, considering what he had to work with since taking over he's worked wonders. Unlike other years where they've placed their hopes on overpriced and over the hill vets at least this time they're rebuilding with youth. In my eyes it's waay more of a positive plan than what we as Leaf fans have seen in the past. Personally I'm optimistic.

Wayne, fyi, but if you just show up unannounced at the North Bay factory there's an excellent chance they'll sell you a factory blemished model at a huge discount. If you call them and ask they'll say they don't sell direct to the public. But both myself and my uncle bought one there at a very good price. Just show up with a wad of cash in hand.

SRT8 you're a good man. Sounds as though you're being handed a gift Billy.

I was hoping that wasn't the case. I think we need to get out fishing soon.

I've fished north of Rolphton, pm sent.

Very cool report and pic's Fidel. Solo soul searching trip? Sound serious. Whatever answer you were seeking I hope you found it.
