I would delete your bogus TJ Quesnel account but then TJ would have to delete his bogus Daplumma account.

Correct, mass PM'ing was disabled.

I can see the headlines now, "Global Warming (or rather "Climate Change") Producing Record Sized Cold Water Species".

A stellar line up of outdoor writers indeed. I'll get back to reading it all of it with my morning java fix. No doubt it'll be educational.

About 20 minutes ago I sent Mike a PM telling him I'm getting impatient.

Yah yah, rub it in.

Yea, we're about due for another mini swill so you can school me on the finer points of being a sheephead master.

Another anniversary, didn't you have one last year? Congratulations TJ and Monique. Great way to spend it too.

What a beast. Hopefully we'll soon see some pictures.

Bingo! As a side note Mike I'm anxiously awaiting for your latest trip report.

Great read Garry, loved it! I hope there'll be plenty more as the fall season comes into full swing.

Amen !

Nice pond, nice bass, really nice hat.

Thanks Splashhopper. A timely post indeed.

I've never understood the reasoning behind one's need to announce their displeasure before they depart. Is there something to be gained by this? You've mentioned this before. If it annoys you, you could always start up your own fishing message forum and format it any way that pleases you.

Skamania, not a hybrid but a strain of anadromous rainbow trout. To add to the list.... Fallfish Log Perch Grass Pike Lake Trout Longnose sucker Redhorse Sucker Walleye

I'm not sure how many fathers get invited out fishing by their daughters, luckily your father is among the privelaged few.

Thanks everyone. I do get help from time to time from Gerritt and Cliff (ccmt) who will give me a heads up via PM with a link to any relevant articles. Anyone/everyone is free to do so and it's appreciated as I can't be on top of it everyday.

Nets nothing fishy -MNR Sept. 5, 2009 JENNIFER HAMILTON-MCCHARLES / THE NUGGET The Ministry of Natural Resources says there's nothing fishy about the nets a local couple found in Trout Lake. The nets Yvonne Montgomery discovered Tuesday are being used to survey the fish population in the lake as part of a provincewide program. I didn't think it was legal to have nets in a lake and they didn't look really professional," she said Friday, noting there was only a light orange buoy and a wooden spindle bobbing in the water. There was no indication they belonged to the ministry. Once we noticed it we pulled the net right up." The ministry said it owns the nets. They were put in the water Aug. 31 and were pulled up Friday, however the surveying will be extended by two days because some of the nets were pulled up by residents. The buoys should have been well marked with MNR clearly on each buoy and with a tag explaining that the nets are part of a study, as well as reflective tape for night visibility," said Cathy Blott, a spokeswoman with the MNR. Most of the buoys were marked, however nearing the end of the sampling season it appears that some of the markings had worn off and were not replaced." Netting will resume Tuesday. The two nets will be picked up Wednesday. She said letters were sent in May to inform some residents and business owners on Trout Lake when and why the sampling on Trout Lake would take place. Montgomery said she never received notification. She has a passion for protecting loons, and said she's concerned for the birds. There's a loon's nest not too far away from the nets and this year two babies were born," she said Friday. I'm concerned that the loons could get caught." Blott said it's possible that could happen. In the two years of working on this project we are aware of one occurrence while sampling on Lake Nipissing." Trout Lake was among 29 lakes within the North Bay district to be sampled this year. MNR will return to these lakes in 2014. Provincewide sampling began in 2008. The fisheries monitoring program standardizes sampling across the province and also allows MNR to compare results with fish sampling conducted in other places.
