  1. when i was a kid i used to work for a farmer at the market and all of his produce would come from the states. all of the bags he would have us remove the usa tags from. we would actually make signs out of cardboard boxes and magic marker to make it seem more local and sell it that way. the supplier he used was the exact same as the big supermarkets. kinda sad really. ever since that i figured my money goes to essentially the same people. there is still middle men and wholesalers involved. so is the farmers market really the farmers market? i dont think so.
  2. hey all, Just thought I would post that I have a new evening and weekend business I am trying to start up for plumbing and heating. My expertise is mainly on repairs on all plumbing, boilers and furnaces. I also do anything from backflow testing, renos to drain cleaning, humidifiers, softeners and hot water tanks. I am fully insured and licensed. I service residential and commercial. I am offering a 10% discount to all board members. MY phone number is 837-3703, or you can email me at holeshotplumbing@shaw.ca. Thanks a lot. Nick
  3. i have no idea if it will float. i presume it will. it is made of polyester carpet yarn. if it doesnt its ok though. i think the legs should give it some cool action. if it is a sinker well thats not 15 bottles of gink will cure. its way too big to pass as a stone fly. its a 4" fly
  4. Had some time to kill so i figured i would giv'er a go on a frog pattern. I figured it would be great for pike and im going to give it a shot on the bow. I call it "Le Frog"
  5. boiling water and warming tea, etc. are also dangerous when you pull out the item and it hits atmosphere it can actually explode in your face. i have seen this before. i didnt know it until my work sent around a newsletter on safety. i once had fish do the same thing.
  6. all i do is let him go in the water right away when i arrive. let him get it out of his system. as for them getting bored i just throw sticks every time i change a spot and it keeps him entertained. he spooks fish sometimes but in my opinion its part of the fun. he is my really bad fishin buddy somedays and spooks every hole and other days he just sniffs flowers and does his own thing. i like the company of having my dog with me. and he gives me an excuse if i dont catch anything. i just tell my wife it was the dogs fault.
  7. good to hear. if you stick with it you will get the hang of it. if you ever want to head out with me just let me know. i would be happy to help out as much as possible.
  8. survival of the fittest. Its population control.

    woo hoo, lookin good. keep em coming.
  13. bear, bear, bear. Thats all i keep hearing lately. way overdone. it seems everyone feels that bears are out to get anyone who ventures out into the woods. silver doc nailed it. pay attention and give space. they will run for the hills if you follow that procedure. as for cougars i will agree i would be more wary of them. Quite often if you see one, it means it has been following you. they are very keen and know that you are there well before you know it is there. However i would say i am much more wary of moose especially in the fall and bulls in particular. they are much more territorial than any of the above mentioned animals. I am very surprised nobody has mentioned that yet. But all in all, just pay attention and enjoy your day. From the sounds of things quite a few of you guys are more decked out in bear gear more than fly gear. i would love to see that.
