WOW!

Heading up to the Upper French river with my dad early Saturday. Fishing all week-end, back Tuesday.

Of course, the best way to get a look at them is if you're lucky enough to be in the area or live near Bass Pro Shop, they have 3 or 4 descent size gar swimming around their giant fish tank.

Got this e-mail from Crane's Lochaven Lodge (not far from Wolsley) yesterday: Not to worry, there is plenty of water. I really can't comment on the fishing as we do not open until Friday and have not had time to get any lines in the water. I will tell you that Ed and Eric have seen plenty of pike and there are some bass spawning around the boat house. Sounds like the pike are still shallow.

Cool. I'd love to hook into one of those. I remember seeing something years ago where they used something that looked like a big frayed knot instead of a hook. Apparently, their mouths are too tough for hooks. The claimed the twine, or whatever, got caught and tangled in their teeth.

Just got an e-mail from Crane's this morning: Not to worry, there is plenty of water. I really can't comment on the fishing as we do not open until Friday and have not had time to get any lines in the water. I will tell you that Ed and Eric have seen plenty of pike and there are some bass spawning around the boat house. Hopefully, that's a good sign. I'll find out in a couple of days.

Love the rake story.

This shot is just amazing.

Gotta show Skud's pics to my wife. That'll shut her up!

Yeah, I think I'll do that early next week. Not that it'll make much difference, I'm going regardless.

I'm heading up to the French river as well next week. Commanda island, specifically. Definitely anxious to hear what the conditions are like.

And these people want to drill in the Arctic!!!

I bought an unlocked GSM phone from this place once. It was "grey" market at best. When powered-up, it showed the Sprint logo. It also died within a few months. and only comes with a 90 guarantee. Just make sure you're OK with that.

Beauties!

Okay, here's mine. I've added a few more in the last few weeks while anticipating my trip to the French River Victoria day weekend... can't wait!

Don't know how much good it'll do, but you can also register your cell phone with the do-not-call registry. https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/index-eng

Seeing this is my first post, I guess this is an appropriate place for it. The picture pretty much speaks for itself. Around 1965, ice fishing for "Petit poissons des chenaux" (smelt, I think). Ste-Anne-de-la-perade, Quebec. Me on the left, my brother with the fish.
