Good Morning:   Cloudy morning here in Port Loring. Waking up temperatures were sitting at 10.8 C | 51.44 F. Will rise in a bit.

Forecast For Today: Showery early, improving as the day moves forward.  Tomorrow we will have lots of sunshine, which will make for a pleasant day.

Bug Report:  Blackflies are around and more so in certain areas.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and wet throughout.  Few deer making an appreance now an then.  Care should be taken if travelling.  Other than that should be a great weekend for moving around.

Fishing Report:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:00 AM – 10:30 AM.  Then again from 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM. I give it a two fish rating out of 5 this morning and 3 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few this afternoon.  Winds this morning are calm coming in from the South West.

Around Town:  Not to much happening in and around our district. My wife and I did go to North Bay yesterday.  Had to pick up a few supplies and things.  Great to get away now and then.  All stores were doing a brisk buisness with folks lining up at the checkouts.  NIce to see so many folks spending money as when money changes hands everyone wins.   Gas prices I see has risen back up to $1.16 a liter.   Amazing how they justify it in there minds these powers that be.  There is no reason for it being so high other than making money.   Trouble is here in Canada most sit back and say… “nothing I can do about it.”  In other countries they rebel demanding change.  I am thinking it will change here too in time.  The new gerneration so to speek can’t be fooled and are even now standing up for their rights.  Again..this is great to see.  So enough ranting here this morning.  Heading off for my cup of tea and will see what the day has in store for my wife and I.  Enjoy your day my friends.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Happenings In And Around Port Loring Ontario

Good Morning: Waking up to clouds this morning here in Port Loring.  Temperatures were sitting at 8.9 C | 48.02 F.  Will warm up as the day moves forward.

Forecast For Today: Mostly cloudy with a few sunny breaks here and there.  We could have a light shower later on this afternoon and into tonight.  Tomorrow we could see highs of 20 C / 70 F and might even get a touch warmer than that on Sunday.  Showers though will acompany the warm temperatures in certain areas.

Bug Report;  Blackflies are making an appreance in certain areas.  Spotty at the moment.  The warmer weather will bring them on in full force for the weekend.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry at the moment.  Care should be taken if out and about with the deer crossing the roads.  Also one should keep an eye open for turtles, I notice a few slowly making their way across the highway, which in turn can be quite dangerous for them.  If you see something black the size of a small basebal cap, chances are it is a turtle. Hopfully you see them in time to slow down and go around them.

Around Town:  Other than a few cars and trucks moving up and down the highway things are quite quiet.  Things will pick up tomorrow, being the long weekend.  Tea time here, English Breakfast is on the menu.   Have a great day and stay safe.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Forecast For Today:  Going to be a nice.  Sunshine should remain with us for most of the day.  A shower could make an appreance early this morning but I am thinking it will pass us by.  Temperaturs will warm up conciderably as they day moves forward.

Highway Report:  For those wanting to travel there should be no reason to hold you back.  Highway 522 is bare and dry but as I said in other posts the deer and moose could pose a problem, as the blackflies force them out of the bush into openings now and then. Will pay to keep an eye open for them.

Bug Report:  Blackflies are annoying here and there and will remain this way for the next few weeks.  If in the area and not used to them a bug jacket would be a great asset.

Fishing Information:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM.  Then once again a little later on this afternoon from 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM.  I give it a 3 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few this morning and a 4 fish rating out of 5 this afternoon. Winds this morning are calm coming in from the South South West.

Around Town:  Still quiet but there is quite a few new vehicals entering into the picture each morning.  Reports are coming in from some resort owners that they are renting cottages.  Others that have their own cottages are opening them up for the season. Lots of boats heading off down to the boat docks.  Mike at the garage here in town is really busy with doing spring tune ups on all his customers boat motors.  Most want to have them ready for the long weekend, which is only a day away.  For those that are taking Friday off and travelling, be careful out there.  GIve yourself some extra time as you might be the best driver in the world, but there is always someone that isn’t paying attention to what they should be.   Enjoy your day, stay safe.  Orange Pekoe tea here this morning with a touch of spearmint, fresh from our garden.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town: Not to much on the way of things going on in our district.  Had a few of my friends that own resorts drop by saying how busy they are, getting things ready for the upcoming season.  Takes a lot of work to  maintain  property I will say that, especially in this country.  Keeps myself hopping all season long looking after things around our place.  But it is something most enjoy doing, which in itself makes things easier.  Tea time here, orange pekoe this morning all on its own.  Makes for a pleasant start of ones day.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:  Very quiet.  Too wet to do much outside work which I suspect is the main reason for this quietness.  Few cottagers back in our area opening up their cottages for the year.  Good to see them back.  So with that tea time here, orange pekoe with a touch of turmeric is my fancy this morning.  Good for all that ails ya, or just a fine drink.  Enjoy your day.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]
