Outstanding report Dave, thanks for taking the time. Though I'm going to question your comment about "soaking up some Florida sun," I'm thinking you stayed out of it 99.9% of the time judging by the pictures.

You talking 'bout the fish or Will? Thanks for the report Cliff, while the success was marginal it sure looks like more fun than I had on Saturday.

Good stuff Brian, can't wait to see next Monday's (damn I had to work) post.....LOL

Thanks for the pictorial post Joey. Glad to see that Roy caught one given the time he travelled to get there. As you already know it was great to have you all here for a visit.

The pleasure was all mine! Next time at Roy's for sure.

Doh! Wrong thread but thanks for pointing that out Brian (I was still on the carp thread in my mind), pink wraps on your rod now, looks good for you.

A pleasure to have you here Ralph, like you a few health issues and surgeries have left me less than able to get stream side for steel but I'm hoping that next fall will offer me more time on the water. Good health to you and again, nice to have you here.

Just let me know when you're in the area Victor and I'll endeavour to meet up with you. And apologies to Lorne for getting off the topic, again great fish!

Can do that too Ron. Have at 'er.

Another great report Aaron, but given your passion for fishing and knowledge of the big river I'd expect nothing less from you and Tony.

Sitting right next to you I'd imagine Norm. While I don't have a designated carp rod per say I'm sure I could find something in my rod rack that'd do the job.

Dang Will, should dropped in on your way back! Hope you had a good day, looking for a report.....

I won't say too much but I did talk to him this morning and he was a happy guy.

Solid fish Lorne, congratulations!

No not that bright Jacques but without them Roy wouldn't find his beer. 18 years under USS will be hell for sure Phil. As for Dave, surprised me too that he wasn't out fishing. Don't blame the Post office Terry, I forgot to mail them. They come round couple times a year Mike, always a pleasure to see them. I think he was talking about the fish he almost caught! Don't get any ideas Mr.

Sad indeed and unfortunately it happens everywhere Brian. The upside is you were in great company, I know MJL and would like to meet Victor someday, both solid guys.

Well I had a wonderful afternoon yesterday with some great OFC friends who came by for a visit. Some current members and some from the past, many of you long time members and Lakair gatherers will remember their names and faces. From left to right, Tybo, my sweetie Julie and and Deg (Don). Again from left to right..... Roy, Joey, Ruth (Don's wife) and my good friend Fish Farmer. Lots of laughs and a few beers too..... I hope you get your first Brown Trout today Roy. My thanks to all of you for your company, it was absolutely wonderful to see you all again!

Hard to tell from the small pictures but best guess is it appears to be an old trolling rod (not downrigging) for copper/steel line designed to drag gang trolls (Christmas trees, Cow Bells) for Lake Trout. Very common and easy to find at most flea markets.

Another of my fave bands covering Joy Division. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/euzbd8_h0Q4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> or by New order.... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MhNDKZmxRLM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> ...or an abbreviated version with Ian Muclloch of "Echo and the Bunnymen" fame. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/98JdCydW3sQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> and why not, a little Echo and the Bunnymen. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jvAfrQUgcJ8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/M5t-6qqjtq8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

You have good taste Joey. Been a huge Joy Division fan since I was introduced to them in....uhem....1978. Work for the day is done, dinner is on and I'm currently kicking back with...... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TGObF2q63Ew" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

A female dog ensures I never have to cut the back lawn, truth is I can't even get to to grow.

Given the pressure on southern Ontario tribs, up to date reports is foolish at best!

It gets me through the house cleaning chores, maximum decibel level of course. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2VlatGRVDBk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
