When we moved up to the Kawarthas about 18 years ago after retiring from CBC, Bell kept telling us that high speed was coming...After 4 years we changed to Cable Cable and are still with them...Don't know if Bell ever did get high speed up here...
My grandson and great-grandson have had good bass fishing in the Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park...they enter via hwy 28 N...I don't know about electricity or water but if you call the park they will inform you...
We were without power since 04:30pm yesterday until 05:00am this morning...except for 10 minutes at 09:00pm...just long enough to reset the clocks...LOL
My boys have had good luck at the bottom of Big Island in close to the bullrushes...
I myself like to fish points like Hurricane Point where they extend out into the lake (watch your motor...most are not marked)
I still have a pocket fisherman...the kids used to use it for icefishing...I forgot about swinging with a hand line fishing for carp off the causeway at Lake Scugog using a bell sinker on the end and a doughball baited hook up about a foot...memories *sigh*
This picture reminded me of my first rod and reel ( I learned to fish with a bamboo pole, hook, line , sinker and a float) I received
a Shakspeare Wonder reel when I was 12 years old complete with a spring steel rod... What was yours ?
