"Where would you go in mid-October?" That's easy, no if ands or buts about it.....Steelheading.

That I'm not sure of, these days a get most of my stuff from the U.S. But locally you might try Angling Specialties, 3 locations in the GTA. Or perhaps this guy in London, Ont. http://johnsflymaterials.webs.com/ Other than that I'd say Cabelas, I'm certain they'd have them.

Nicely done Brian. It's looking more like a Lund all the time, now if you'd just get rid of that silly console.....

Well it can certainly vary but I'd say around $20.00 to $25.00 plus material costs.

Yes I have indeed heard of this, though I've never encountered it myself.

If you were closer to Hamilton I'd be happy to do it for you. That aside the repair is not difficult if you're a handyman of sorts. If you decide to to try it on your own I can direct you to the needed materials and instruct you through the process.

That would be the first thing I check, I also see that you've done a visual inspection. So my question is did you try running a Q'Tip around the ring of each guide? Sometimes a hairline crack can be tough to see but the cotton a swab will snag on it giving you a visual indicator. As for my experience with Power Pro, no issues.

She'll be at Waterloo Tom studying world history.

My oldest daughter is off to University this September Tom and I tried to talk her into Lakehead, but she said that would be better suited to my desires than hers, smart kid. Oh well I have have two more who'll soon be off to University, there's hope yet.

True Joe, not everyone could, but you pull it off with style. Having sampled some of your culinary skills I've no doubt the BBQ'd fish was outstanding.

Good shoot'n Bud. I agree with the others on the Coho, no doubt about it. I also believe Rubin's fish is a Rainbow. Glad you salvaged the outing and for not having riggers you done well. But what I really want to say is"NICE SHIRT JOE!"

In stained waters I'd be using chartreuse jig heads with matching plastic twister tails or gulp minnows if I had them pinpointed or gold bladed worm harness' covering water to locate 'em. Black and gold minnow baits (ie: Rapalas) are also effective and will help you cover water to find appropriate structure, then switch up to jigs to stay on 'em. A little piece of worm on the jig definitely won't hurt!

Only suggestion I have is turn off the fish symbol display, it's useless!

People do eat 'em, I don't.

Wow that is nasty Phil, I'm glad you're okay, truly! But what I've quoted scares me. Honestly in the best interest of your health and your families well being along with all the others on the road you should really have had someone drive you to the hospital. Not preaching just (concerned) considering how you nearly passed out at the hospital it's fortunate that you made it there, safely. In hindsight I'm sure you can see how it could have become tragic. Again I'm glad you're okay.

That is a lot of nice bass, good shootin.....er, I mean fishin.

They are there now and I wish I was too. Have a great trip!

I'm in at least a dozen times not that it matters, I never win anything.

You my friend lead a charmed life.

Automation has considerably reduced the employment levels in the steel mills, but thankfully they haven't automated my crane, yet!

....and I thought I had a lot of rods. Those are some solid large largemouths.

My head is starting to spin........

I'm also glad you didn't have to call Tony, for your sanity not mine. But rest assured if you had called I would have been there to assist in a heartbeat. Be well my friend!

Would I ease a 14' Jon Boat through all them gators, uhhhhh, NO!
