  1. Does anyone know the effect on older motors, 1997 for eg.? Apart from gunking up the carb in the off-season, what negative effects does ethanol have when running the engine?
  2. Yeah, well, what I posted above is directly quoted from their official website---'nuff sed?
  3. My understanding is that PetroCan uses ethanol as an octane booster in its Ultra 94 gas-----the bums!
  4. Apparently not true. My understanding is that PetroCan Ultra 94 has ethanol. From their website: Ethanol-blended gasoline Ethanol-blended gasoline is a fuel that typically contains up to 10% ethanol in unleaded gasoline. We use ethanol in our gasoline where legislation requires its use and where conditions warrant. The Federal Government has regulated that motor gasoline sold in Canada after Sept. 1, 2010 must contain an annual pool average of 5% ethanol. Different provincial mandates also exist, some with higher ethanol pool requirements. Because of these mandates, most grades of Petro-Canada fuel may now contain up to 10% ethanol. This represents a change from the previous state, where premium fuel was ethanol-free at Petro-Canada. To find out if ethanol-blended gasoline is sold at a station look for the yellow labels in the pump area indicating that the fuel may contain a maximum of 10% ethanol.
  5. Yes, it's just East of 'town', but you have to pay on weekends.
  6. Yes, just pretend you're fishing for bass!! I caught a really big one trolling a small Big "O" a couple of years ago. I really was fishing for bass.
  7. Closer to home, Killbear has most of what you want---fish near Dillon's Cove, but a bit short on wildlife(moose, bear).
  8. Now there's a guy who knows how to cook(and eat) trout. And you're right about the skin when cooked too.
  9. Isn't that the same one they caught on L of the Woods???
  10. Those were grizzlies. We're talking about black bears here.
  11. A friend and I saw 1 beside the hwy N-W of Deep River a few years ago. It was a cat, too big for a lynx. Didn't get a chance to examine it for claws, though. So could be an escapee!?
  12. Stoty, that's what I meant when I mentioned Otter.
  13. If there are none on W'koon, then there's some on Otter, which is really part of the same lake(access thru narrow channel).
  14. Because that rant was worthy of John Cleese!! I can just picture you/him twhacking a dead trout/salmon/char down on the counter and shouting THIS TROUT HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A DEAD TROUT!! On a more serious note, our local Loblaws recently had rainbow for 1 price and 'steelhead' for a higher price(No mention of Norway though).
  15. You mean to say that some of the other stuff on WWW isn't true either???? Well, wait 'till I tell my friends that!(May I quote you?)
  16. I guess I'm the only one here who had never seen that pic before! I'll tell the guy who sent me that---not that it matters. (At least I amused some of you momentarily!. Now, let's all go back to arguing about bass boats!)
  17. Here's a pic someone sent me. This Sturgeon was caught on the LAKE OF THE WOODS , KENORA , ONTARIO two weeks ago. It weighed out at over 1,000 lbs (463.6 kg) and measured out at 11'1" (3.3563 meters). It was 56" around the girth and took over 6 and a half hours, and 4 dozen beers, for the 4 guys taking turns at reeling it in. Any Sturgeon OVER about five feet has to be released unharmed and cannot be removed from the water. They are brood / breeding stock and probably older than most of us.
  18. I've seen quite a few 'head shakers' over the years but here's the one that stands out at the moment: A very popular steelhead spot here in Wasaga is the local marina. The owner very generously lets fishermen unto his property and even unto his docks. Yet, believe it or not, some folks repay this generosity by leaving Tims cups, cig pkgs etc. Unbelievable. One of these days the owner is going to decide he's had enough.
  19. Re the original post---2 expressions spring to mind Different strokes for different folks and To each his own. I glad not every fisherman associates speed with fishing. I give this 2 more posts before lock-up
  20. Teddy bears probably wouldn't wok too well though!
  21. .........................and he don't mean of your hand!!
