Stone Soup Station

Thought I'd shed a little more light on what's happening to an awful pile of people throughout the U.S. and Canada, these days. It's a pretty sad state of affairs for such RICH countries. WHEN is the madness going to end? When all of the poor people, the unemployed people, the weak ones and the uneducated are dead? What we need here, is More Help, and less ridicule and finger pointing and no care attitudes, that's what. More compassion for our neighbor and his well being. More REAL work for folks who want and need it. Real wages for labor expended. More Millionaires helping the poor in this country before sending everything to third or forth world countries...

Anyway, I could go on and on but that won't fix any of it. So, instead, I'll share this hyper-link with You so you can see for yourself what is happening out there at a very alarming rate. The more who know about something that can be fixed, the better, in my books.

Ready for your daily dose of reality 101? :-)

Please pass this link on, if You feel moved by what is happening to all of these Americans and Canadians and maybe even someone You know, or someone in Your family even. Something must be done about this atrocity and done Now...

Tackle ready...

Finesse Fishin'...

So here's a little group of hot cranks that consistently spank the fish around the areas that I fish in and near Ottawa. The top two are customized Big-O's with a single, double hook on the belly hanger, which enables these deadly little crankers to bounce over snags, without hanging up. :-)

Little Killer Cranks...

To give you an idea of size here, the Bill Lewis Rattle Trap, in the bottom corner of the picture is his 1/4 oz model, in my favorite Firetiger color. These ARE all small lures and that is why they are SO successful on the water. Smaller lures DO catch More fish, albeit they may not be as big as most people would like to catch.

Try these mini killers this year. You will NOT be disappointed. ;-)

Cheers,

Springing forward...

My Spring Sunday...

To-day was sort of a three part day for me. I started off watchin' two Outdoor shows on TV. One featured hunting dogs performing their art in front of the camera. Pointing and retrieving like masters. What a thrill for me, to see these dogs working at what they LOVE. Any hunting breed owner would have swooned over how beautifully Man's Best Friend excelled at their art on this TV program!

The other program featured my Lady Fishing show Hero, Kathryn, partnered up with two other beautiful women, stalking Rainbow Trout in a clear stream in Africa. Can you believe it? I know, eh? :-) It's SO refreshing these days to get a "Woman's eye view" of Man's Favorite Sport, and Katheryn delivers right on the mark. Here's a pic I took off the TV. What a sweet scene, for this ol' fishin' puppy! Hat's off to this fine lady and sister of the fly...

Three Fishing Gals...

Then, after my second cup of coffee, I headed out to Food Basics for a little stocking up. Bus service is a trifle slow around here on Sundays, so that took a little longer than I had hoped. However, I got out of there for less than twenty bills and could hardly lug it all home. :-)

Two wheelin' it again...

With that chore taken care of, it was time to ride. I pumped a few pounds of air into the tires, bungied on my field kit, slipped my North 49 mini-packer, over my shoulders and headed out towards the river...

In less than an hour of leisurely toolin' along in the warm sunshine, there she was, the Mighty Ottawa River, still partially cloaked in ice.



After soakin' in the warm sun for a few minutes, I pulled out my cool little image recorder and set up a few gear shots, as you can see here...










and then, a pair of Nature pics...







A little more R&R in the sun, then I packed 'er in and headed home. Uphill! :-)






A great day all around! :-)
