Ontario.. plate is yours for life.. not the trailers!

You know better than to start a political thread here Rick! There were more CO's and MNR employees before a fishing licence was even required by an Ontario resident. Our income tax rates were less as well and 'twas what covered the whole affair. Our income tax rates are up, we now have to buy a fishing licence and there is less MNR staff...or at least the ones that do the ground pounding. Now as you say there are more than a million licenced anglers at what $20 average between conservation and sport licences. So where are the funds going... In regards to Bronte creek.. never saw a CO down there 26 years ago either and we were there many many nights sitting under that bridge after our afternoon and night shifts from Consumers Glass.... with our marshmellows! Some things in life never change I guess... just a new crowd. As for that increase... if you could categorically positively guarantee an increase in CO's in an exact ratio to license fund increase vs salary.. I'm in ! If you are just wanting the CO's for the Salmon run... forget it. They are, as Dawg put it, put and take. The way to police it.. you buy tags for them similar to fishing a Fredriction area river system. Once your tags are filled... you go home now !

I never had any luck in Alberta... all I can tell you for sure is it's barbless !

Samsquatch out snorkling..

Thanks for the chuckle Connie.... I can relate! Many here won't get it...

Veal....

..and did I mention I didn't have to get out of my computer chair to take the picture and post it!

I have a big hammer here Bill... bring it with you Wednesday !

We got off our arses and actually went to the streams. Many never leave the keyboard!

Was torential most of the morning/early afternoon here as it was. Hope we're done... I've got stuff to do.. like Muskie fishing ! lol

There were just as many there 25 years ago A2F... maybe even more.

No problems here.... or at Dano's... lol

Today Brian... the one big Tom had to go 25 to 30 lbs

I have trouble getting the stuff to stay wrapped around my fingers and it always comes off just as I get to the back mollar! ...glad you had a good night out Ultyma

It's not the bait.. it's the presentation. Roe bag or marshmellow doesn't dictate flossing.

Man Terry... too early to be thinkin Ice !

I throw them in a pile in the order they need to be paid. As for the "budget book" had one of those when we were first married. Just a notebook that covered our food allowance, natural gas, mortgage PIT etc. the thing that always blew the budget out of the water was the trips to Aquarium Services!

Same way she always does..... she just looks better holding a fish than you do Cliff !!

Note the short chain Bernie! I didn't yank it.. I just drove away.

Maybe I can tie a string to one of their legs... so they're around when you get here Brian! Hell maybe I'd better tie up two and you can bring the other contractor Remo....

Thanks for sharin laz !
