Try Wosley Lodge or Totem Point Lodge on Wosley Bay..part of French river system or Memquisit Lodge or Lake Aire on Lake Nipissing…West Arm

Here is an answer to Fisherman’s post Lifejackets approved by the U.S. Coast Guard are not Canadian-approved. However, visitors to Canada may bring their own lifejacket to use on a pleasure craft as long as it fits and it conforms to the laws of their home country.

Find a YouTube presentation on how to fine tune your Abu black max for the weight your will be practice casting. It will go a long way to mitigate many bird nests. Personally, I would use 30lb braid. You will be amazed at its efficacy!

The new Pentastar v6 is rated at 6730 lb towing capacity. You should not experience any probs with this vehicle.

Sea Foam is a highly effective gasoline preservative stabilizer that both protects your vehicle while it's sitting and cleans the fuel system when it's running. Sea Foam is the most comprehensive cleaner for your vehicle.

The good deals at fishing shows have simply disappeared. If deals exist I would suggest you try the final days of the show. Vendors, at least in the past, did not want to lug merchandise back home so good buys could be had. Today many local tackle stores put on their own Fishing Show specials. Give them a try. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Picked up a pair of Group 31 Interstate batteries from their plant in Stoney Creek for 70 bucks each about 5 years ago. Still going strong!!!!! Leave these babies in the boat wrapped with insulation for the winter. Top up charge once/month with on board charger.

Find leaking rivets, as N.A.W. advises, and dab on a product called SICOFLEX, found at many marinas. Sicoflex,apparently, is used extensively on the west coast for many problematic leaks. An excellent product which I have used with great success.

Take note of the players that Wilson had when he first came to Toronto. Virtually none are there now - traded to other teams. He couldn't get them to play for him and his style, yet they seem to be doing well with the teams they've been traded to, save Kaberle. With an entirely new team set up for him by buddy Burke he still cannot get them to achieve. Yes it's time to get rid of RONNIE!!!!!!!!

Lets take a look at the common factor in the Leafs poor showing for the last few years. Change in assistant coaches - that's not it Team players have been changed over the last 3 years - that's not it Coach has remained with team thru losing years - that's it!!!!!! Time to get rid of Wilson. It appears to me that he cannot get the most out of his players. There appears to be NO fire in his approach to motivating his players. Note his benign response to poor plays or exceptional plays. Even the most opinionated and knowledgeable sportswriters agree the Bruins in their Stanley Cup win last year were over achievers - made so by the excellent coaching. TIME FOR RONNIE TO GO.

Grant Koppers has put a lot of effort into these baits paying particular attention to species detail. They are fine tuned and only use the best materials. I have used his baits and have found them quite productive. For what, I feel, is a high quality bait their price is reasonable in today's market.

Target lures are exceptionally fine lures. A lot of research and detail went into the development of these realistic lures. I've had great success using these lures. Grant Koppers, the inventor, has spent endless hours studying and analysing fish characteristics and habits while guiding on the Niagara River. His enthusiasm for detail and quality is well displayed in a great product.

Fished Wolesley the middle of July and had no problem catching fish. We, however, did not target walleye but were happy with multiple takes of large/smallmouth bass, perch and pike. We were able to raise a few muskie but, unfortunately, no takers. Water levels were down approx. 5-6 feet and the rice beds were non existent but tourny size largies were taken from under boat docks and weed shores in the main bay. Smallies were abundant wherever we found weed/sand/rock breaks. All our fish were released. 20 to 30 fish days were common. Though we had success we do believe the mentioned netting and seeing a trend where virtually every fish caught was kept have contributeed to dwindling fish hook ups.

Have an older 150 Optimax (2000) Have had minor problems with blown gas pump gaskets especially the low speed one and major probs with the injectors. However, my extended warranty did cover these to the surprise of the mercury dealership. Mercury seems to stand behind its product. Spark plugs for the motor are quite expensive at $22 USD each and God only knows what the cost is in Can. funds. Having said all of this, if I had a choice I would seriously consider the 4 strokes especially the Yamaha. I have noticed more and more of these being used in Florida and the north.

Should be made to do some sort of community service along with paying for the materials to rebuild the ice huts. How about having them put the time and effort into rebuilding each and every ice hut.

A gross mutation! This should not have happened and as Bigugli noted, once escaped it certainly will mess up the natural gene pool.

All in favour of wind power - being used in Europe especially Norden countries without any problems; however, I'm not sure about favouring an offshore site. The wind turbines erected on waste land on the east side of L. Erie out of Small Boat Harbour Buffalo appear to fulfill everyone's image of an ideal site.

No doubt about it. BEST in the WORLD.

All great comments on a valiant effort! Cheryl and team played well throughout the tourney and she pulled her team out of trouble spots more than once!!!. Our empathy for her misses suggests our true Canadianism, however, at the end of the day, and Cheryl knows this all too well, she choked not once but twice. At this level of play - we're not talking club play for the championship nor provincial playdowns - that double takeout should have been a piece of cake!!!!!!!

Highly recommend Memquisit Lodge on the West Arm of L. Nipissing. Wonderful cabins and a great meal plan, if you are interested. They also offer a good boat/motor/meal package.

You can pre - order what you want at Ganders. They order and have the article in their store for your convenience - or so they advertise. I do however, agree that prices there have increased over the years and it is difficult finding a great deal. Buying locally may actually be your best bet, since the warehouse for minn-kota is in Burlington, On. Try Grimsby Tackle's website (google it) Adrian usually is very competitive with prices and is willing to work with the customer and offers great service.

Take a look at the new rapala rods - one is a two piece grahite - e-glass combo great for cranking.

I certainly would like to go, but outside of the great seminars, for which I would like to see a schedule, I've heard that the vendors for gear will be scarce. In fact, I've been told, many manufacturers of fishing gear will also be non-existent. Any info out there that could set me straight on these allegations is appreciated.

For Pete's in St Catharines travel the QEW to Lake ST exit. Turn right on Lake and continue north to Secord DR (stoplite) then turn right and watch for store in strip mall on your left. About 300m from the stoplite - #22. However, with all this rain you may want to reconsider travelling the distance - river may be mud. Might be better to wait for a week. The ice boom at Ft Erie has also been removed (so I've heard). Don't know what the ice floe condition in the lower will be!!!
