Well, the good news is the little one is going to be released from the NICU in the next 3-5 days provided everything continues going as well as it is right now. The bad news is that my Mom has already come and gone, and my in-laws have already gone WAY above and beyond. Should I just take the line o...

BA - Sounds to me like you were fishin'! You dredged everything through there that should work. Sometimes they just aren't buying what you're selling. Anybody ever drift fat nymph patterns for bass in water like this? I've heard of it, but never tried it myself. I think these fish get quite a bit of...

Only during spawn. Opens up when bass season opens.

By the way, little girl today!

8 weeks sooner than she was supposed to get here, but she's doing great. And luckily for us, she's in the slot limit so we get to keep her!

Hey Todd, First time ever that I've (maybe) got more experience in a spot than you! I've fished that area quite a bit, and had some nice luck. Best day was when arrived in the morning when it was still completely dark out. Oh yea, now I remember how you feel about early morning fishing! Anyway, my b...

Google's at it Again!

Thought I'd share this since there was a fair bit of interest when the Google maps/satellite photos area came on line. (My apologies if this has already been posted.) http://earth.google.com Those of us who were amazed at what Google had done with the satellite photos before.....they have taken it t...

First, I have to say, Ganman is right on the money with the border info. I'm a fairly recent transplant from the States to Ottawa, and a frequent flier at the border stops. I've tried every crossing from Ogdensburg west, including both options in Windsor, and in Sarnia, and Ogdensburg is consistentl...

Howdy Folks!

Boy am I slow on the uptake (hookset?) For sure I'm working too much. I just sat down for a quick breeze through the boards, when my buddy Todd mentions the FFF forum. What the heck is that? Yippy-kay-yea! We finally get our own room. Must be teenagers now! So here's my question for the entomologica...

If you are zoomed in too far it will display a message all over the screen that reads "We're sorry but we don't have imagery at this zoom level for this region. Try zooming out for a broader look." Unfortunately, most of the rural areas don't zoom down to the closest 2 or 3 levels. In most...

You are correct Snag. http://maps.google.com/ It's really slick. You can go into the search box and type "muskie ottawa, on" and it pulls listings from yellowpages.ca and puts them on the map. Zoom in or out easily. You can even click on the map and drag it around. MUUUCH better than tryin...

Fly Fishing the Ottawa River

Anybody see The New Fly Fisher on WPBS this morning? They were fishing right here in town! It was obviously taped last summer and water levels appeared to be pretty low. It sure was fun to watch, though, and got my juices going. I can't wait until the water isn't so hard! They were wading in Remic R...

There's a pretty good article in the July/August edition of Fly Rod & Reel. It discusses kayaks designed specifically for fishing, and how to fish from a kayak; ie, gear, rigging, methods, etc. Unfortunately, they don't post old articles on their website. PM me if you're interested, I'm sure we ...
