A question best PM'd to the the Admin team.

Well it's Father's day and being located here in Hamilton I'm privileged to view the many planes of years gone by as the Hamilton Air Show is under way and I'm reminded of how fortunate we are to live the lives we have today. So I'm taking a few minutes to remember our forefathers, the sons, the husbands, the many who grew up without fathers and husbands and the young men who never had a chance to become fathers. Watching Hamilton's Avro Lancaster fly overhead I'm reminded of the dedication of this plane to one such hero. http://www.warplane.com/pages/ourstories_mynarski.html With that I wish all of our soldiers past and present both here in Canada and the U.S. and all the fathers here a very Happy Fathers Day. *Salute*

That'd work, not clean sand and I'm pretty sure not legal either. Just saying.

You've got a good grip on rod related stats Garry. How goes the building ventures?

Thanks for pointing that out Roy. However the offer is still open Simon.

Your life sucks, oh wait that's my life. Do you want to adopt a middle aged man, comes with lots of fishing gear and nice Lund.

Solid report Jason and solid fish! I would concur with those who figure that big trout would be high teens.

I believe you mean this one (Yes, MJL took it)? I happen to have it as I was attached to the other end of the line. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Some great shots above!

I believe you are correct Lorne but it does eventually flow to the Welland.

Bingo!

A PM to Roy as per forum rules would have been a good option, no. "Deleted or locked posts. If you disagree with a moderators decision to lock or delete a post, send them a Personal Message. DO NOT make a post complaining about it."

Another world of possibilities are now your`s Dave, run with it.

Lures, Flies, Jigs, Floats, Rods, Wading Staffs, Boat Mods and likely much more over the years. It`d take me a month of Sundays to post pictures. But I`ve also noted over the years there`s no lack of amazing talent on this forum.

I must have missed the remark stating that the picture was of a Coho. Good day on the water Emil, I feel your pain though on the loss of the chrome shark, costly for sure.

Am I wrong to presume that they all taste like spam.

Damsel Fly Brian. Great pictures.

Scary and awesome all at the same time. I'm glad you all came home alive, great report!

First one I'll miss in 13 years (I think?). I'm not happy about it, but there's not much I can do about it short of winning the lottery. I will definitely miss the pleasure of being in the company of all you fine folks.

Solid advice, vertical is my fave go to tactic when fish can be located. Include a few heavy type ice fishing spoons as well and don't think slow presentation.

Welcome to OFC Crud150. What you're holding is a Chinook (King) Salmon, and a nice one at that!

That is some sweet looking water Brian. While I grew up on fly fishing and love it some of those spots would be best attacked with a hair jig on a short spinning rod. Thanks for the pictures.

Sunday house cleaning day..... *yawn* A little motivational music blasting (must be LOUD!) on the stereo. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KjmCo3DSSvw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

A great and heart warming story Dave, many thanks for sharing.
