Where Fishing and Recovery Come Together!
Fishing
Ah, yes, fishing. It's kind of like golfing. You either love it, or you hate it. Me, I LOVE it!! It gives my life meaning, purpose, resolve. And it's a great way to contemplate one's navel whilst awaiting that catch of a lifetime to pick up one's hook and worm.
The fish species listed in the drop down box below are major ones I search for in the Ottawa River, where I do most of my line time. They are in order of my own personal preference (don't ask!).
Everything that I have written is strictly taken from personal experiences and has absolutely nuthin to do with any sort of scientific approach to catching a fish. Heck, most of my fishing has been thru trial & error. But, I continue to follow what has worked in the past and will do so until it no longer produces. If you happen to discover a glaring mistake or would like to offer your own tactics (which would be greatly appreciated!!) email me and I'll take it under careful consideration.
For the past year and a bit, my fishing has been greatly reduced due to various health issues and also not having a car. My eyesight is so poor that I tend to hook my finger before I'm able to hook any fish. Plus, trying to haul all my gear on the local public transit to do a bit of water-walking is, to say the least, a pain. Thus, most of what you may read here is greatly outdated, but I leave it be because it just reminds me of gooder times.
Oh, and if you have a car, and live in the Ottawa area, and are interested in taking this poor - sniff - sad - sob! - ol' boy out fishing..........
