I usually take a multi cultural translater with me when I go there, not because of the staff, but all the others who shop there and all the fast speaking people who I cant understand, just encase there talking about me of course, was in 2 weeks ago and almost had a row of 5.0 owner flippin jigs embedded in my arse by some dude who pushed me out of the way, and into the flippin jig display when his buddy called out for him

I pulled my DV17 Tracker with a 1995 Jeep GC with the inline 4litre 6 and was fine, lots of low end tourqe, I now pull with another Jeep GC LTD with a 5.7 HEMI and you dont even know the boats there, if you have to get out and pass slow moving vehicles HEMI all the way, the inline 6 was a bullet proof motor with many showing over 400,000 kms and still on the road,

Apparently had a massive heart attack while boating on Lake StClair with life saving measures unsuccessful, he was 45 years young.

Great way to start the summer holidays Mike and Jade, picking up the Swan Moving Trophy, and another nice clean spotty, water looks awesome, a little more consistant than those fall G2Gs

Further to Johns comments the flood of 1980 at the Ganny and other eastern flows ie Wilmot cleaned out the spawning beds of silt, providing many years of quality spawning for steelhead and excellent survival rates as well, as the populations increased thru the 1980s until 1989 where record numbers were recorded in all eastern tribs, thru normal springs with normal runoff siltation occurs naturally once again, covering prime spawning gravel and reducing natural spawning habitat, hense the decline in steelhead populations, the flood in Peterborough where I live in 2004 had it happened 20 miles south along the lakeshore would have once again set the tables for another 10 or so years of increased steelhead populations, thats my 2 cents maybe a little more

Hi peps: just go to LeBarons or to Aikmans in Mississauga and pick up a new foot pedal as Lew said they have a history of burning out contacts on the power drive units, 70 to 85 bucks will get you back in business, to repair the old one will cost just about as much money and not to mention the down time

LeBarons has Scientific Angler fly rods on blowout for 19.95 while quantities last both 5wt and 8wt if anyones interested, woodbine store has 5wts did not see any 8wts although they are posted on the sign and might be out back, greeny teal blank 2pc rods

I would suggest you go to a chapter meeting of muskies canada, and see what were about, bring a friend who might be a fishing partner as well, we are all there because we enjoy muskie fishing, and care about the protection and enhancement of this great fish, so furture generations will be able to enjoy the great muskie fishing opportunities we enjoy now.

Sorry to hear of your loss, losing a best friend whos been with you for that many years is devastating, when my German Shorthaired Pointer had to be put down, it was hard to believe I was doing the right thing again after 12 years, you have lots of great memories and pics that will carry your family through those tough days. I purchased a large picture frame which holds 8 pics of my GSP so I see her every day in my rec room ot my memory room as I like to call it.

There is a product called one 4 all by well-worth products which is a 4 season fuel treatment and conditioner which is formulated to clean and lubricate injectors and pumps and carbs etc eliminate water and prevent fuel separation from ethanol based fuels one 8 oz bottle treats 250 gallons of gas and I believe it was 10.00 it will say on the bottle that its for diesel engines, but its great on gasoline engines as well. www.wellworthproducts.com is their website, the rep from the company came to a muskies canada chapter meeting to answer concerns re fuel separation, the higher octane the fuel the less percentage of ethanol in the fuel
