What a great idea folks. If you decide to set this up near the various bases I am available to take anyone from Base Petawawa especially once Bass season opens. I'm thinking the best way to get in touch with our troops would be through the various MFRC's on each base. If this is going to be a one da...

Yes you follow the 2 over 20 inch rule for Black Donald. There are a few lakes in the eganville area with the same size limit. I always wondered about that size limit but one of the bioligists with the ministry told me the reasoning behind it. He said when they put the slot of 20 inches(19.7) that i...

Is that the ever elusive Marcus holding that Gar :shock: It been along time since I've seen him on here if it is. Those are some huge crappie, and one giant gar. That's a great way to spend a weekend.

Thanks for the tip on the multi sprouts. I think I should be able to figure it out now. I'm going to head out tomorrow to take a look around. If they're not ready yet this weekend they should be good to go by next.

The Ostrich Fern is the one fiddleheads are harvested from, The Bracken fern is the other common fern here in Canada and is not considered edible. Here are a couple of links that might help: http://www.ontariowildflower.com/fern.htm http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/securit/kitchen-cuisine/fiddlehead-fo...

Thanks for the replys folks. I'm going to take a walk around this weekend and see if they have started here yet. How do you guys cook them? I was told to cook them just like asparagus??? I was thinking of steaming them, and then melting some garlic butter over them. Riverbank thanks for the tip on m...

Fiddlehead Farmers???

Does anyone on this site harvest fiddleheads in the spring? I seem to have grown an interest in trying to eat some wild edible plants this year for some reason (It's been along winter and I've been reading about the outdoors to much) I have been up in the Sudbury area the last couple months and I we...

Try some of the new Berkley TEC alive boxes. They have a few different sizes in each tray and so far I haven't been able to make them leak(I've been trying in the basement over the winter).Ed at Paddletales had some in and they were nicely priced.

For me the last few years I have headed down to Erie the first weekend in May to slam some big smallies. New York has an early season for them (as well it's open year round for catch and release) and the fishing is usually pretty good. There's nothing like catching 4 and 5 lb smallies in May (LEGALL...

I think the lure you are looking for is called a Heddon Meadow Mouse. I have one and it is awsome for pike. I've never thrown it for bass before but now I'm thinking I should. I haven't seen them for sale anywhere in a while but you might find some on Ebay.

Sorry I was wrong on my statement. My insurance is just like Mr.J's. They have it insured for more than I paid for it but less than it costs brand new. I do have the value in writing as well as an amount set for contents in writing. As far as the price goes I thought it was reasonable. I was paying ...

I use State Farm for my Triton and they are very reasonable. I pay $600 a year taxes and everything and that is replacement value on it. I haven't had to make a claim but I made a claim one time on my truck and they were great to work with. Give them a try.

I fish Lake Clear a couple of times a year mostly for Bass and it is a great lake. There are good numbers of smallmouth bass as well as the odd largemouth and pike. We often catch walleye while for fishing for bass and have caught quite a few over the 20 inch minimum. We stayed in the cabins this fa...
