Well good morning.  Hope all is well with everyone this morning.  Sun will slowly make an appearance as the day moves forward.  Temperatures are sitting at…16.7 C | 62.06 F waking up.

Forecast For Port Loring:    Unsettled, probably improving though as the day progresses.

Fishing Times:  For those wanting to head on out and catch a few today the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from11:00 AM –  12:30 PM.  Then again a bit later from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them in the morning and a 3 fish rating out of 4 for catching them in the afternoon.  Good luck.

Bug Report:   Well I don’t think there is any place right now that is escaping the wrath of them mosquitoes.  Kind of makes me think that what they were saying earlier, that the cold spring will eliminate most of them this year is a bit off.   As I can’t rightly say I have ever seen them this bad in the 11 years that we have lived here in Port Loring.  So we have to take it one day at a time.  Lets hope that sun makes its appearance quickly today which will slow them down some.  Mosquitoes like dark and cloudy days.

Around Town:   Lost Channel Inn here in our area has lots happening.  I received a flyer yesterday to be put on the  Blog here for all to take a look at.  Click Flyers To Enlarge for better viewing, of all the information relating to what is happening at there establishment.

Well rainy old morning here in Port Loring Ontario.  But I have to say my gardens needed it. One can water themselves, but it can’t be done as good and thorough as Mother Nature. Thinking my tomatoes grew a foot overnight.  Grass has slowed down some which is OK by me.  But this rain will bring it back to growing for a bit. Temperatures this morning waking up are sitting at….18.5 C | 65.3 F.

Forecast: Stormy, much rain off and on throughout the day.  Things will improve overnight and into tomorrow, with the return of the sunshine.

Bug Report:  Well blackflies are pretty much gone other than a few stragglers hanging around bugging folks.  Mosquitoes now are another story.  Yesterday they were out proceeding the rain in swarms.  Just couldn’t get away from them.  Even my shop was full of them blood sucking parasites.  Had to put my vest on so they wouldn’t be able to bite me through my shirt.  Hoping this isn’t the trend all summer long.  Once the sun comes out it will slow them down some.  Horseflies are here but not biting too much as yet, but Deerflies are becoming irritating.   Joys of the north.

Fishing Times:  Well this morning one might need an umbrella if going out fishing.  The old weather stick is saying though that the best time to be out there will be from…9:30 AM – 2:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Good luck!

Around Town:    Well not much happening other than voting day here in our small community with folks heading out to the polls, trying to get their favourite candidate into power.  Should be interesting, this time round I am thinking.

Our Farmers Market is about ready to gear up for the summer, you can click the flyer to enlarge below for all the dates of when it will be starting and things. It was delivered to me yesterday. Great place to shop with and pick up them items your in need of without heading on into the city.  Also one is supporting those that work so hard to bring fresh produce and other items to you in an old but stable, healthy atmosphere.  It’s folks like yourself that keeps them alive.  Have a great day my friends and should also mention that if you have anything that you would like to be known by the public, send it along to me in and E-Mail at [email protected] or stop by the house here or you can call me at 705-757-1640. I will gladly add it for all to see.

Good morning. Well another beauty of a day for sure.  Temperatures are sitting at…16.9 C | 62.42 F.  Will warm up even more as the day moves forward.

Forecast For Port Loring:  Changeable, mending.  Great day for sure.

Bug Report:  Blackflies are gone to some extent with only a few around.  Cooler weather fixed them.  Hoping they don’t make a come back.  But the worst is over.  Mosquitoes though are another story.  They are onto pestering folks to great extents.  But one has to learn not to put all those chemicals on ones skin as it draws them like a bee to honey.  Truth be known the chemicals that one puts on the body is far worse than the mosquitoes bite in itself.  But hey who am I?

Fishing Times:  For those wanting to do some fishing today the old weather stick along with my grandfathers formula is saying that the best time to be out there will be from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM. Then once again from 4:00 PM – 7:30 PM.  I give it a 3 fish rating for catching them in the earlier part of the day and a 4 out of 4 rating later on.  Should be a great day for jerking lips.  Good Luck!

Good morning. Well a bit cloudy waking up. Forecast for today is calling for it to be…Stormy, much rain off and on throughout the day.  So we will see.  We could use some, as things are quite dry, even after such a wet spring.  Temperatures are sitting at..17.1 C | 62.78 F.  Will warm up a few more degrees as time marches on.

Bug Report:  Same as yesterday really. Blackflies and Mosquitoes have become quite annoying.  But as I announced yesterday, that the dragonflies have returned, so should make short work of them in the coming days.

Fishing Times:  For those wanting to do some fishing today, the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then a bit later from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM.   I give it a 3 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  So should be a good day for catching them.

Around Town:  Quiet this morning but will pick up in a bit.  Tourists are moving back in a little at time.  Blackflies are keeping a lot of campers and cottage owners at bay. But once they are gone folks will make their way to their favourite camp ground, resort or cottage.  Good to see them coming back each year. Could say I miss them.

On another note Trash and Treasures is open for another season.  Lots of great items for sale and a must see, if in the area.  Doris is back and it is always nice to see her.  This lady has done so much for our community behind the scenes more than one can imagine and should be commended on her actions.  Great Lady for sure.  You can say hello to her at Trash & Treasures most days throughout the week.  So why not drop by and say hello, along with that, you will be supporting our Local Fire Department.  For all the information relating to Trash & Treasures Hours of Business click the following Flyer to Enlarge.  Enjoy your day my friends.
