Anybody try these. Would seem to be useful for steelhead, for e.g, in changing from roe bag to worm. Also would work as well as a normal snap when fishing with spoons.

I've caught lams. Do they count? I would like to catch a bluefin tuna---they go up to 1000# and jump straight into the air!

That's one of the most amazing pix I've seen anywhere, incl. in Nat Geo.!

See, what'd I tell ya, IF? Persistence paid off. I used to remove the mouse using needle nose pliers. These days I thro the trap and all into the garbage. So, you gonna' have him mounted?

I know this is a minority opinion here, but most of the 'stuff' on our TV is hard enough to watch on regular TV. With HD it would be just plain nauseating!(My wife puts on Private Practice and the other sick soap opera just like it---I have to block it out somehow.)

Now, be gar, that's quite the fish. It isn't the ass that's ugly, its the snout! I've only seen one alive and have never caught one. I wouldn't want to have 1 charge me in my canoe. How big was it? How big do they get?

I heard on the radio that Ont is sending a whole bunch to England for a special feast for the queen's jubilee! I suppose the English are not that famous for their fine cuisine!. The guy on radio said they could have lots more if they wanted them! I know we are all supposed to be conservation minded here, but this is a case where I'd kill first and ask questions later.

Don't give up yet. It's a bit like fishing---you can't 'land' them all. I get mice often in the spring and fall. I just use the cheap traps with p. butter. Some of those traps are a bit harder to trip than others---some are so sensitive that they are hard to set. I guess the quality control on such cheap items is not the best

I was that close to a kermode I think I'd need a commode! Nice pix, though(I guess if the bear knew you were there you'd be fairly safe. Sure wouldn't want to startle 1 at such close range though)

Want to? For sure! Can---like the rest, afraid not. There lots of interest, Mike. Availability is what's missing. Have fun, be safe, catch lots! Sheesh, man, do you hafta rub it in!!

But if you take 151 proof rum it's not very heavy.(Can use to sterilize any would as well)

Eggs will keep for at least a week, probably 2. Don't worry about keeping them cool.

Aha! Now it starts to come out. All that time in the bush you weren't just 'doin' the solo thing'! I guess you could have been hit in a more sensitive area than the face!

No, do you have a link to it? I'd like to read it.

I don't see folks lining up for Sherpa duties on this one!!. You could probably post exact details of where you caught the fish and nobody else would go there! Do you mean hiking 12 k or that the paddling plus hiking is 12k? I find it hard to imagine bushwhacking 12k. It's hard enough on a marked trail. How the heck do you get across creeks and rivers?(There must be some). If you make it back out we'd love to see pix!

I've done a lot of canoe camping. I used to have bear spray but when it expired I bought a set of bear bangers instead. I think the bangers are more fool-proof. Spray can be a problem with blowback and accidental firing. If you Google it you can probably find some stories that are amusing if you weren't affected but painful if you were.(People tend to wear it on their belt, a bit too close for comfort to some areas you would not want sprayed! :eek An air horn sold in the marine section of CTC, for e.g., might be another option. If you keep a clean campsite and keep your food in a sealed container(dry bag or barrel) you are unlikely to have bears come around. Just make some noise(some people carry a bear bell, others find them annoying) when you're walking the ports.

aaah, I tried that. For all the good it did I might as well have shoved up my...............

But how the hecck do you get it stated??

(How the heck do you do that multi-quote thing anyhooo?)

Brook trout fishing with worms. That's what I got used to growing up and it's probably the type I do best. Yummy, too!

I'd leave the ax behind for weight and safety. I have fires all the time but can find dead wood that can be cut up with a small bow saw. If wood is scarce at the site you an usually find some along the shore. check your PM

I could provide you with a complete list, no problem. Must have---tarp with plenty of rope.

I wonder if it's just the male fish that chase the skirts.

How could that be legal?(What are walters?)
