What fish are in what lakes in Ontario?

Headed out fishing and not sure where you want to go fishing in Ontario? Not sure of what you may catch in which lake? Looking for fish stocking information for your favourite lake? Be sure to check out the Ontario Provincial Governments website Fish On-Line https://www.lioapplications.lrc.gov.on.ca/fishonline/Index.html?viewer=FishONLine.FishONLine&locale=en-CA Here you can zoom in on the map to quite a few lakes and find the species you will encounter, fish stocking information , GPS coordinates etc. I have found that some lakes I've fished not all species were listed. Have fun and explore some new fishing spots this year.

Stuck in the mud, can’t make it up a hill, or worse yet you rolled your vehicle on its roof. You want a snatch block recovery system with you. This will not only allow you to get out of that situation, it will also give you the ability to redirect the direction of pull, and give you a mechanical advantage; and also save the life and strain on your winch.

Kids making money making walking sticks....

My boys were quite young when one day they came up to me and said "Dad buy us a quad" To which I said "Get a job" They said we're too young to get a job. This is where the story begins; I said you found an old walking stick in the corner of the old house correct? They said yeh, so what does that mean. Well I said; we own 500 acres of bush, or 500 acres of potential walking sticks. I'll show you how to choose them and how to peel them, how to do your market research and how to sell them. In order to get their attention I made the following statement; 1000 walking sticks x $15 = $15000.00 That was all it took, we were out in the bush cutting walking sticks, peeling, letting them dry, sanding and scheming...lol. To this day they always have their eyes open for that unique walking stick, and today they're 30 and 35 respectfully. Take a kid out to your woodlot, choose some sticks, buy a spoke shave and have some fun. Spring is the best time for peeling and Maple or Cherry make the best sticks. If you dry them, stain them, wood burn designs, bear paws etc, then give them a coat of shellac, you can now charge more money maybe $50 0r more. And yes they did buy a used quad off their uncle, when I told him what I had made the boys do, they were over at his place one day telling him what they were doing. He said oh really, well how much have you made so far? They said $350.00; to which he replied it just so happens I have a Honda in the garage I'm selling. They said yeh but how much ? He said $350.00; end of story!

They have collectively made hundreds of walking sticks over the years.
