That's a magnificent brown Justin, nicely done.

That's an awesome shot Phil, thanks for sharing.

Nice.

Fish Farmer just left here with directions to where I saw lots of fiddle heads last Saturday on the opener, I hope he finds them.

I think you're out of luck Phil, he likes 'em.

SOLD......

As I just mentioned in Doug's post Rob I be happy to help but the distance from Barrie to Hamilton is just a little too far considering the price of gas and or postal rates. The best option is to find someone close to home.

Glad it worked out for you Doug, I'd have been happy to do it for you if you were closer. Looks like first rate work to me.

They are quite common and easy to find around flea markets. I picked one up a few years ago for the wall above my rod building desk, hell it is still spooled with copper line. Purchased for a grand total of $5.00.

Actually I've never had anyone ask to have their cork handles treated nor have a I done my own. Using an outdoor weather preservative for wood seems logical though.

Why not use a wood sealer preservative (ie: Thompsons ) after all cork is a wood product.

The blanks are on there way. Now if I could find someone to pick them up for me in Owen Sound that'd be perfect.

Great report Young_one. Did you give this baby a chance to swim?

That's a solid looking Laker.

Man dat's a lot of boats and some aren't even in the water. I think I'd avoid weekends there at all cost, insane I tell you, insane!

So you just had to throw that one in, Dang that looks scrumptious!

My condolences, I feel for you, I'll be heart broken when it's my turn to deal with it.

Well done my friend. Good company, good weather and some nice looking trout, perfect day.

I'd consider taking you up on that Dan but I already have a boat.

Sorry Joe, after she got away from me last week, I ended up finding her sitting at the side door waiting for me (Art knows the details), I'd have to say she's firmly attached to me she'd likely bolt her way back to Canada. But I'd be happy to let you visit with her at Lakair.

LOL....That'd work on Brook as long as I don't throw it in the water, she hates the water.

Looking good Dan.

I'm jealous, hell I'm hugely jealous! In fact I was jealous of Jacques lone opening day Brookie, mayhaps that's why I haven't said nice Brookie Jacques.
