It sure has been quiet here this past year. I remember when this newsgroup
was formed. It was because we Canadians wanted a site of our own and there were a bunch of people who had things to say. What happened? Where is Lothar of the Hill People and Dan in the Bush?? |

Dan in the bush is now in the Muskoka's of ontario getting foiled by
wretched rainbow trout and specks. He has been battling against bass and spending a lot of time with his four year old, who amazes other dads with his 70 foot casting abilities on an open face reel. (and he's been learning to chip a golf ball out of sand to a higher degree of accuracy than his dad as well.... sigh....) Been an active summer, learning how to fish trout. Finding out that those silly books that spoke of sneaking up on streams and using #12 to #16 hooks weren't so silly after all. The fish up north we had weren't educated and I could just walk up to the swamp-ponds using about a #6 hook and a worm and catch dinner. Apparently the fish schools are better educated the further south you go. And learned that my 6 foot medium action rod won't allow me to use the ultra fine 3 lb test line I need as a leader either. Whenever the 'bow gets close to shore, it does the head shake thing that seems to tell me "not today" and snaps the line. Rod isn't whippy enough to absorb the jerks and I lose them. So this winter when I spend X-mas in niagara/hamilton area, I will be looking for a noodle rod. But met quite a few good people and a couple of real idiots, kept my cool and had a pair of fisherment earn my respect when they finnished packing up their gear from thier excellent day of fishing (ten feet from me while I got skunked....) and promptly whipped out a couple garbage bags and set to work. I was very impressed with that, as the harbor/ reserve that we were fishing on didn't seem to care about picking up the garbage themselves. They even hauled it away with a cheerful wave goodbye. That's what's been keeping my days full lately. And nobody's started any moronic threads about what size cannon they should mount on their boat to protect themselves from the pirates on the great slave lake or the erie canal marauders we are known for. What have you been up to? Dan in the bush....... (civilized Muskoka bush now.....) "smiles" wrote in message ... It sure has been quiet here this past year. I remember when this newsgroup was formed.

If you live in an area that has no musky or large pike fishing....suick
lures may be hard to find. They are expensive (15 to 20 dollars) Why not make your own? Get some doweling from a hardware store or use a hockey stick, some wire, some large high quality treble hooks, some long drill bits, some primer and glossy oil paint. Have some fun. Make some huge "Zara Spooks". With a bit of experimentation, you could even add a metal lip at each end of the lure and make a "suick". I bet there are internet sites that show how to do this.

Tyee is usually refered to a 40+ pound chinook. King is an american term, but thankfully I'm not an american, so I'll stick with chinook, spring and tyee. |
