I have always wanted to try Balsam, the trick would be to find access to 8-12 feet of water along a weedline. It could potentially produce pike, crappie and other pan fish.
Some spots on the Kawartha Lakes are scary and unexpected. I live on the south end of Pigeon Lake and everything looks great until you happen to stop on top of the old river bed. It can be 15" and then 2" a foot away because of a current that follows the old bed.
Timber wolves are something else. Most people have no idea how large those suckers are until they stand beside one. Manitou, it's sounds like quite the experience, one that I wouldn't want.
You should contact Lawrence Park and see what they have planned for winter access. I think they have a parking issue for summer traffic if they are going to be renting twice the number of boats.
What about Ben Revere??? I liked him as a lead off guy. Maybe they can get him back.
I should have become a baseball player (yeah, in my dreams) Benoit signs with the Phillies for $7.5 million for one year. Not a bad salary for his age.
If they sign Saunders it would be for much less than he is probably looking for. Who knows with them. I like the guy, but I would like to see better consistency if he comes back.
I have found that over the years that many can't agree on coyotes, wolfs, bush wolfs or coy dogs. Too many similarities. However, a true coyote and a timber wolf are distinguishable from half breeds.
