Brook brought it to my attention, she was going nuts. I'm truly surprised given how high she was jumping up the 6' fence that she didn't get a hold of it. I'm almost wishing she had......

LOL.....ya think.

I was surprised to see this young'n (fence boards are 5 3/4") at high noon with the heat and all. Dog was going nuts and it froze, remaining there for over half an hour. Couldn't bring myself to disposing of it though it would have been quite easy, I hope I don't regret my decision. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Yep, another plus for the less scenic route. However if you've never driven the 17 it's worth doing at least once, as I did. Though the rain and fog made the views less than spectacular on my trip.

I try to stay far away from anything or anyone who insists on shipping UPS!

11 may be boring but it's an easier drive and less fuel consumption when towing IMO, and yes I've driven both and will stick to 11 in the future.

Hahahaha.....good one.

I always know your posts will include stunning photography skills Mike and this post didn't disappoint.

The learning curve and process has no limits Garry, but it can be both exciting and at times frustrating! If I can be of any assistance you know where to reach me.

Awesome! Spectacular! I'm dumbfounded! I'd be happy to boat just of those beauties! While I've had many "Gar" strikes over the years while targeting other species I've never kept one tagged long enough to land it. It's on my bucket list Drew and if I can do it with the fly rod I'll be totally pumped! You've got me stoked and I know where to find them. Thanks for sharing this.

Sweet looking water Brian and a super nice bow. But it appears to me that your "olive caddis" is an olive stonefly.

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.
