Happy New Year, all! Lookinng forward to another year and new waters.

Hey Guys...If your EVER see me drinking a Molson or Bud Light, I've been kidnapped and I'm signalling for help!

Saw six crows over my friend's corn field and killed 5, so I guess that death was nearby.....

I got a steal on a Hardy Marquis Salmon #2 reel and skagit head for my 2 hander. Told the wife to wrap it up and give it to me for Christmas. I make her look like the Rock Star she is every year for Christmas in front of our family.!

Robin, We lived on Wire Mill Rd. n Stamford for a few years, and I literally had the Rippowam river run through my backyard. Could only canoe a few hundred yards of it due to the small dams, but brook trout fishing in your back yard was nice. I remember there was more falling hardwood than...

Memquay - do you just drive the roads now and pick up frozen Grouse for dinner?

I'l stick my paddle in here, as it's -1 degrees F and snowing here today. I mean, its so cold out, there were 2 trees fighting over my dog this morning... I like Florida, even with it's re-latinized culture ( I speak Spanish and most of the Spanich speaking people there are great. If you want...

Only beer I've ever had near a boat was on day trips with a lunch. And that was apres trip. I do carry a flask with a good whisky on trips to Irish up a late night coffee or as a sundowner. I am taken with a small batch that Dry Fly finishes in port wine barrels. I am usually a "one and...

Crossed over twice from the US at Grand Portage this year. Both times going in, I had a good, but lengthy experience. First time I stopped in the US at an ALDI for everything but fresh meat, veggies and eggs. But I had frozen salmon and deer cutlets in my cooler and a big bag of homemade...

Shakley Basic H2. It is a biodegradable surficant and cleaner that does about 100 things including keep the mosquitoes off of you. comes in a concentrate. 2 tsp. will make 20 oz. of spray. It will take care of the smell if you let it soak overnight. I take this with on every trip to clean...

Was at a yard sale and picked up an old book by Tapley, who wrote a lot for sporting magazines here in the US when I was young. He had a column called "Tapp's Tips". The book is a compendium of his articles and is really fascinating to read. Some of it is surprises you with how much maintenance...

YES!! Bought pair and used them in Ontario for both my trips this year. Great deal.

Just finished a midnight and when I got home I poured a cup of coffee and read this. I'd never met Memaquay before and he hauled out a 20 footer to take me splake fishing one afternoon. What a guy! Mem, you are part of what makes this place special!

Robin, Nice setup! When Im working too many hours trip reports like yours get me through the day!! I haven't been out since I was up near Geraldton.

Just saw this on Chicago news today. It seems logical and smart to unhitch the offense from driving privileges. I like a drink as much as the next guy, but being drunk on the water can get dangerous for you and others. That said, I have seen a lot of drunks on rivers.....including two...

I am reading "Catch em Alive" by Jim Abernathy and "The Abernathy Boys" - The Abernathy Boys is especially engaging, as Jim Abernathy allowed his 5 and 9 year old sons to take adventures on with only the two of them in the early 1900s. Horseback rides from OK to AZ, then OK to New York City...

You Bearly got out of that alive!

Good apple, plum and pear yields in my buddy's yard. Lots of acorns. But it's been awful dry for the farmers. I mean, REALLY dry.....I went out this morning and I saw two trees fighting over a dog!!

Or salt on a grapefruit. Sometimes strange pairings are the Bomb!.... I will also put lobster bisque on a breakfast omelette and balsamic vinegar on vanilla bean ice cream.

You do have to protect the Bialetti handle from fire. I've thought of retrofitting mine with an antler on the lid and handle. It will not dribble if you pour it slooowly. Don't rush the brewing, you want all the Crema to come bubbling into the upper chamber. With practice, you will be able...
