You must be American.

It's a hunt show. Why would you need an assault weapon to go hunting?

Is that Harper's whole caucus or just the cabinet??? .

No wonder it was cold--it's Ottawa. Lemme tell ya, the last time I was there it was so cold the politicians had their hands in their own pockets-----rah rump pa ta tum!

and then tent!! Note to self: If invited, never ever go fishing with this guy!!

Aaaah. I wuz jest joshin' yuh!----trying to refer back to the popular thread you started abut fishing gear! Sorry I couldn't be of help.

Exactly! That's the point I tried to make a few pages back. Why the big hue and cry for law enforcement when we are inconvenienced but a few road blockades, whereas all sorts of crimes against natives have been ignored by the police? Check into the inquiry re the horrific Picton murders in BC for e.g.

No, not really! They have been mistreated by their own chiefs AND by the successive Cdn gov'ts, the Harper gov't being a particularly bad example.

It depends---if you are taking lots of gear you'll probably hook up anywhere(ditch by the side of the road)

Double standard indeed. Why are folks so interested in have the cops crack down on what is a relatively minor offence, but no such interest when major crimes up to and incl murder are committed against First Nations people? High profile cases in BC and Sask spring to mind but there have been lots more. You bet we have a double standard!!

That Sarah looks like a good sport! She must be a keeper. Jeremy----maybe you can find 1 like that!

Mike, Congrats---very well written indeed! Now we can all say we knew you before you became famous! The news about your uncle is quite sad, but you must know you did the right thing by taking him on that trip. I’d say that kid is hooked as well as any fish can be! I’m envious of that-----I couldn’t get my boys very interested in fishing. Then again, I didn’t take then to Dusey! As you know, Brad gave us a briefing on your trip before you had even flown back out. My fishing buddies were gung-ho at the time to go there this year but have now wimped out! (Maybe couldn’t get budget and/or vacation approval from their wives). I’m revved up again after reading your article. I think I’ll have to trade my fishing partners for a bunch of new ones for next year’s trip to Dusey. I’ll look forward to you next fly-in report-----“The Return of the Chrominator”!

I find these quite handy. I normally take nail clippers for trimming the tag end of knots etc. But clippers don't work too well in removing spent roe bags. I find these scissors much better.

Haven't done that, but been tempted to call in well!...........feel so good today that I don't wanna spoil it by going to work!

I just looked out the window and there were a whole bunch of pigs flying just over the treetops! Discuss.

Given that they all earn megabucks, pls define what you consider to be a "bad situation"??

SD---if you are looking for someone to fish with send me a PM. Thx

Ok, folks, get your nominations in and then we'll vote on it. Everybody else seem to hit us with such lists at year end. Why not OFC? So, let's' see your nominations in the Best Thread and Worst Thread categories over the past year. Let' keep it fun though---no re-hashing of old arguments that went on, and on, and on in some of the 'worst' threads. Lets's see if we can get this rolling w/o going downhill!

.........and another prefectly good thread gets ruined. Thx, Snidley---you deserve a medal!

From what I have read and seen, I understood that lots of bows spawn during the fall. e.g I saw 1 caught a few days ago that was totally bloated and looked ready to spawn.

I think you are confusing what you have a right to do with the right thing to do.

Why not reduce from 5 to 2 in all the lakes. Who the heck needs to keep 5 bows??

Mandatory?? I'm a big believer in snow tires but we have 2 vehicles but just put them on 1. We are both retired and if the conds warrant it we will just use the vehicle with winter tires on it. When the mess has been cleared we go back to being a '2 car family'. Why should I be forced to buy extra tires for the second vehicle?
