  1. Believe it or not I gave the little yak to my MUM! She loves It!
  2. Thanks guys, it's like a fancy canoe without the girth!
  3. Got a fair deal at Fogh Marine in TO for this Tandem kayak. Carries everything I got for a weekend of laughs! http://www.oldtowncanoe.com/kayaks/tandem/twin_otter.html
  4. I dunno..he looks kinda cute to me!
  5. Chin up Lew, He knew you loved him. God Bless you & all his relations.
  6. Teach 'em young, bro! Good stuff.
  7. Time for a tactics change bro! I used to sight fish for them using a light spinning rod, #6 Silver Thread monofilament line & a white Crappie jig. I've also caught them this way with my 8 wt flyrod & floating line with a 10' leader & a dark nymph size #10 hook. All along the urban areas of Lake "O" have many creeks & marinas where the fish come to spawn & feed. Once they get into the shallows, you'll see pods of fish cruising about, as the day warms up, they seem to feed more. The trick is to single out an individual & cast far enough ahead of the fish that the jig /fly will drop in front of his path. I've even had fish turn on a slightly short cast & whack the fly as it began sinking beside it. It is a rush to see 'em hit & a decent "tug-o-war" too. Some guys that do the "carp thing" have been using weird candies for bottom fishing,eg:gummy bears, marshmallow bananas or strawberries,etc. Even luncheon meat works & for catfish too . Fish on, but find them visually before you park your butt on a rock & wait for them.
  8. guitarscanada.com, paddling.net, buysell.com,limewire,
  9. Best excuse for a new boat I ever heard... Wear a PFD & to hell with new foam.
  10. River silt & Grit gets into the bearings & causes jamming/grinding.
  11. It's OK, no bearings in many flyreels.

  13. Lebaron's has an excellent Flycasting DVD by 3M & Doug Swisher. Better than most instructors out there. Sexyloops website is OK too.
  14. God Bless our Brave Men & Women that give all for justice. Peace takes great efforts to build & maintain.
  15. Let he who hath not sinned..cast the first lure!
  16. I agree with MJl ...but my secret weapon is... A White marabou streamer with krystal flash wound over silver tinsel for body. Use a lead-weighted belly one for deep/fast water. Bead-chain eyes & black thread for head, with a red marabou throat. Killer in warmer temps when trout will chase a swung fly. Browns too.
  17. Two friends with paddles are kinda handy too!
  18. Shucks..ya gotta get a Fender next, Pa!
  19. I Brake for Hallucinations!
