No.. but I have drank in Will and Harry's favourite pub!...and drove past their polo field. Leave it to Lloyd to get you a gull Rob !

Thanks guys! Other than the first days Jet lag.. having a great time. Think today has us now up to 7 pubs so far...so we're doing just fine! Currently in England staying at my Brother's friend John's...that was his Herc navigator during the Gulf War, as my brother had flying assignments out of Glasgow, Scotland this weekend. We are off to Wales tomorrow..

Not the bird they're talking about Terry !!! HI from England lads!

Rutting... I thought it was more like "come'on Brother.. get up.. we've got cows to chase" !

Thanks Leechman... just one of those things I felt needed to be ticked off my list of things to do before I die.

Thanks Limey... may have a look at that as well. Not sure what's on the agenda when we get there... make it up as we go along! Now if Leah would just get her damn bag packed.... lol

Sounds like me and the 22 I carry in the airplane Paul.... just enough to really piss the bruin off ...so he finishes me off quickly !

Boss.. google "filleting a pike". Many ways to do it easily.

.

If I was flying Air Canada I'd be tempted just to be sure I had a meal.....

Yep .. grab a box of air bombs! I carry a couple in the airplane for the back lakes.

Yah I hear you Roy! Kids aren't too pleased with the timing thinking they could all come home for a good thanksgiving meal..... and we've heard that my brother and s-in-law go with the Welsh way as way.. and didn't prepare a thanksgiving meal when my Mother and sister were over there a few years back. Guess we'll find out... now can I take that Turkey as carry on or does it have to be stowed luggage??? Alive... or should it be dead??

THANKS!! Packed and almost ready to go... Not looking forward to the time it takes to cross the pond, but hope to enjoy some R&R with my brother for 10 days...and hopefully sneak in a fishing excursion as well.

Thanks cuzza... already been on there via "fishing wales" website...where I've printed out a few guides phone numbers etc so if it works into our schedule I can get out for some fly fishing. I'll be staying in Talygarn (Cardiff for all intensive purposes). Hopefully not that far to have a guide pick me up and take me to the Wye river area or such. Guess I'd better get packed... need to hit the road for the airport soon.

You wanna know where TJ.... here ya go. This came from Jim @ Dad's Being from Temagami, thought you might be interested - One of our Reps just stopped by on his way northern to hunt, and told me about his buddies from the Sault who got a 57" Bull at 5 yards with a bow last week up by Kenora. It will apparently score second largest bull taken by a bow in Ontario once they can score it. He told me that the Bull was making a roaring like noise, and after it went down another Bull comes out and started fighting with it. I called Bull, and he told me they video taped it and put it on youtube - sure enough watch this video.

How much does it cost? Prices for 2009/10 rod licences — valid from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 Non-migratory trout, char, freshwater fish(coarse fish) and eels. Salmon & migratory trout, non-migratory trout, char, freshwater fish (coarse fish) and eels Full season (expires 31 March 2010) £26.00..........................................£70.00 Junior Concession £5.00..........................................................£5.00 Senior Concession £17.25..........................................................£46.50 Disabled Concession £17.25.........................................................£46.50 8 day £9.50................................................................£22.50 1 day £3.50..................................................................£7.75 So about $130cdn for a one year sport license is what it comes down to and these are for residents. Can't find a non-resident list..but I know a day on the water is gonna cost large for a guide, license and gear....... but ya only live once !! Note you can fish with two rods in Wales for coarse fish (that includes Pike).. and if you want to use 4 rods you buy two licenses!! GB... Leave some Muskie for me, for when I get back !!

Well I ordered new Hifax runners for my hut last week.... but I sure as hell ain't thinkin about using them for a good three months.. I HOPE!

Jen? Jen?... oh I remember her !! Nice stuff Bernadette... great to see the "family" out and about! Some lucky boys there for sure..

Good and get one of them sno-bears so we can ride up the lake in comfort this winter..

Friday is rain Roger.. Saturday is wind and showers. Pick your favourite !
