Hi,
I'm a novice. I fish trout. I'm very satisfied with this season's action.

The trout here go up to 20 lb. rainbows and 6-7 lb sea-run speckled.
River, stream, and a small lake fishing.

I have a rod (7/8) I bought at Walmart, and a Martin Mountain Brook reel.
I caught a 8-1/2 lb. rainbow yesterday, and I wonder about my rod.

I saw fishers using light rods this season, and I wonder which rod or rods
to buy for next year.

I want to buy a decent rod.
I'm 66 yrs old( I can't believe it!), so I don't expect more than 4 years
more fishing. (that means, I don't want to spend all my pension on a rod!)

If you can advise me, that would be splendid!
I knoe there's a lot of experience and expertise in this newsgroup.

Thanks,

-- Lionel

Can anyone tell me how to filter out people when using Google.groups?

After opening a thread, look closely at the names of contributors. Holding
your mouse in your right hand, do not click on any messages from the person
you wish to filter. I'm told this can also be done with the left hand, but
cannot vouch for this based on my own experience. Now, while this method
works well with my newsreader, I haven't tried it in Google.groups. For all
I know, the latter may open up a whole thread, thus rendering the technique
ineffective. If so, averting one's eyes (or covering them with whatever may
be suitable and at hand......so to speak) is nearly infallible as a
fallback.....but you have to be pretty quick.

Wolfgang
who hastens to add that the latter technique, while it works very well in
many other situations, should be used only sparingly and with all due
circumspection in heavy traffic.

Hi Lionel,

When I was considering different possible locations for a fishing trip
on your side of the Atlantic, PEI looked exotic and interesting. Would
you mind telling us whether you think PEI would be a good destination
for a longer trip? At least your initial short description of trout
fisheries sounded promising.

The only filter which google has is a pornography filter.

It may interest one or two here that Google does have a RSS feed
for ROFF, meaning that certain web browsers (e.g., Firefox's
Livebookmarks) and RSS newsreading capable software (e.g., Google
Desktop 2.0, Atom, etc.), can keep you informed of the latest
messages without needing to open your newsreader. The
news item has the first paragraph of the message, but not From.
Clicking it opens it in Google Groups.

The following is the URL for the feed and won't make too much sense
if you click it.

PEI is small; 150 miles long, 40 miles wide.
The rivers are small, but good for trouting.

Nearby is the Margaree river, 6 hours by car, in Cape Breton, (gorgeous!),
Nova Scotia, a world famous Salmon river.

In New Brunswick, 5 hours away, the Miramichi river, another world famous
Salmon river.

Newfoundland & Labrador are also famous for Salmon. That's an 3 hour Air
Canada (ptui!) trip and then a drive. The Pinwale river in Labrador is a
starting point.

That sounds fine, I'm a _huge_ fan of small-stream trout fishing.
Bought a 6'6" 3wt rod just for this purpose a few years back. Do you
have problems with crouds during the best trout season?

I'm guessing the "famous" places are quite expensive. We have also
considered Newfoundland & Labrador as a strong candidate, but they
have - or at least used to have - that idiotic guide rule (one guide
for every two persons in the group). They certainly lost our money and
interest when they made up that rule.

Damn, I _know_ its _crowds_, but this is not the first time that I
write _crouds_. Finally a meter according to which I'm starting to
approach a native English speaker.

Traveling fishermen face two decisions in eastern
Canada:
1. Go for salmon or other species? Some localities
are managed solely for salmon i.e. the salmon conservation
rules narrowly restrict pursuing other species. E.g.
sea-run trout cannot be sought in Quebec salmon rivers
(without a salmon licence and salmon beat) except
in tidal waters.
2. Paying for a guide. Each provincial government
has debated whether this is a reasonable way of making
the traveling fisherman pay cash for his pleasure. New
Brunswick decided Yes (requires a licenced guide to
fish any salmon water), Nova Scotia decided No.
The choice is ours.
