Norcan Lake

Glad you enjoyed the trip PrincePro, I only fished one day on Norcan, not a lot of fish that day but I did get one 5 lbder. Beautiful place though, the view after the dam is outstanding. The launch could be better but like you said it's just the last stretch that's bad. We had great fishing (20-30 f...

2 stroke oil

Take a look at Mercury's Quicksilver oil, I mean look at it with your eyes and feel it with your fingers, this is premium oil, I've used it in all my motors ( all Johnson's).
