May be a racist statement but " will the last Canadian out of Toronto please lock the door behind them " has some truth in it.

Did you consult a biologist about putting Bows in your pond ?
-
I only fished the headwaters, above the what is known as Shorthills Park in Effingham and above the Louis Blake Duff estate on the St. John's branch. The stretch behind Patterson's Store in Effingham was one of the best and the Louis Blake Duff estate in St Johns was excellent, they would give you permission if you asked.

Know the headwaters intimately, both St. John's and Effingham, caught hundreds of Specs there in the 60's, personal best was a 14 incher. There is a spring fed pond on the Bible Camp property that still has Specs in it they tell me, poached a few there 50 years ago, very private property back then even 🤐
-
The pond is/was fed by a small spring fed pond and creek just about a hundred yards upstream but over the last 60 years the main dammed/dug pond has gone through the normal stages of eutrophication. The spring fed feeder pond was always lush with cold water aquatic bugs and watercress in my days.

I grew up a short bike ride from the pond, fished it from the day it opened in 1960 I believe. Looking at how it has degraded to a warm water mudhole it is hard to believe that it actually had Specs in it for the first few years and they survived as occasionally a larger one from the previous year would be caught, now it can't even keep Rainbows over the summer. Back then all the put and take ponds like the one at the St. Williams Nursery and Normandale had Specs until the put and take programs switched over to Bows about 64/65.

I always used the Albright knot when tying 2 lines of different diameter together, like fly line to backing, another one you could test. https://www.animatedknots.com/albright-knot

Why is everyone so down on Ford ?? but the teflon coated Liberals in Ottawa get a break 😡 They are considering the modern equivalent of the War Measures Act, guess the name of the PM that last used that. Our leftist Liberal loving media is extremely biased against anything or anyone conservative. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/anand-doesnt-rule-out-using-canada-emergencies-act-to-help-curb-covid-19-third-wave/ar-BB1fMpBZ?li=AAggNb9

Only one answer to that question, " Costco " about 12 bucks for a 20 pounder last time I refilled.

The stupid has spread there as well
-
Grimsby and a few other communities didn't get hit by the 2003 blackout, actually the gas powered vehicles were S.O.L. too , the gas pumps are out without power, people were coming from long distances to fill up here.

I guess Trump can run again in 2024, actually I was hoping for this card
-
and now the stupid has spread to the U.S. as well so our idiot has the support of their idiot.

Back in the late '60s I recall shooting skeet and trap off Killaly on the Cement Plant property, between Westside road and Hwy #3 I believe.
-
Fished there 50 years ago. The quarry south of the tracks was a popular swimming hole and north I got some decent Largemouth, one good pike about 10 pounds and a ton of overpopulated stunted Bluegills
-
I did , it got deleted by the mods LOL
-
Really? Send me DM. I'm even more curious now that you say it was deleted.
-
I said " you would have to be an idiot to complete that survey "
-
Pfffft. That's not offensive. Its not like you directed it at somebody. Unless it was taken as attack to the person who posted the link. I took the test out of curiosity and of course be supportive of rights to owning guns and gun owners. I didn't answer loaded questions either.

Never found the hardware cloth minnow traps much good for other than larger chub minnow in beaver ponds up north. The only place I can think of for dipping perch minnows would be in a few back eddies in the upper Niagara now, there was one spot just under the Peace Bridge near an abuttment that was good years ago, used to grab them there for perching at Abino in the spring years ago, maybe they are still there.

They are not the same as the goldens found high up in the Sierra Nevadas, this link provides a little background on their bloodline, they were more common back in the 80's but still a rare catch. http://www.fish.state.pa.us/images/pages/q...rout_golden.htm
