Good Morning:  Well nice looking day out there so far this morning.  Sun is shinning and temperatures waking up were sitting at .. 11.6 C | 52.88 F. Will warm up as the day progresses.

Forecast For Today:  Unsettled, some rain possible as much as I hate to say it.  But got my fingers crossed we have mostly sunshine.

Bug Report:   Out on the water it is quite good, along with in and around Port Loring. Venturing out into the bush you could be irritated somewhat, but then that is their home to say the least.  One would expect to be chewed upon a few times.  All and all not so bad right now.

Fishing Times:    Today the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM.  Then once again from 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them. Bait of the day minnows on a bright coloured lure should catch their attention..

Around Town:   All stores are quite busy and have had some word from a few resort owner friends of mine saying they are doing quite well this month.  So that is a good sign.  Also we have been quite busy these days in our small store.  Drop by if your in the area, you will be glad you did.  11588 Highway 522 Port Loring.  On another note our Farmers Market Special Farmers Day Event is taking place starting this morning.  For all the information click flyer below.

Good Morning:   Well not a bad looking day out there so far this morning.  We have some clouds moving in but they should clear out as the day moves forward.  Temperatures weren’t to bad waking up this morning.  They were sitting at…                 16.5 C | 61.7 F.

Forecast for Today:  Fairly fine, possible showers early then clearing.  So should have some nice weather.

Bug Report:   Other than mosquitoes in the evening hours and a few through out the day not so bad.  One can tolerate them as far as tolerate goes.

Fishing Times & Tips:   This  morning the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from..8:15 AM – 11:45 AM.  Then once again from 3:00 PM –  6:30 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating for catching them out of 4.  Not the greatest but if one works at it they should be able to hook on a nice one for supper.  Today I recommend our old faithful bait…. the worm.  Add a worm to a coloured spoon with one small hook and I am thinking you will do just fine.  Orange would be my colour of choice.  Fish the shore lines and have some patience.  I have found one can’t rush fishing as it shouldn’t be rushed.  You are out there to enjoy the day and what nature has to offer.  A few fish for dinner is a plus.

Around Town:  Things are quite busy here in Port Loring with lots of tourists moving in to enjoy what we and nature has to offer.  We are having a Farmers Day Special Event on Wednesday August the 6th that’s tomorrow.  One shouldn’t miss this event.  You can click flyer below to see all the details.  Along with that we also have our yearly Cornfest coming up at the end of the month another great event.  For all that information you can once again click the flyer below pertaining to that too.

Good Morning:  Well nice looking day out there waking up.  Temperatures were sitting at…12.5 C | 54.5 F and will warm up considerably as the day progresses.  Even got a touch of sunshine.

Forecast For Today:    Possibly showery early, improving though as the day moves forward.

Bug Report:   I have to say that this is about the best time of year to visit the north.  Hardly no bugs to deal with and weather is most favourable.  It’s my favourite month of the year.

Fishing Times & Tips:   This morning taking a look at things and taking into consideration what the old weather stick is saying, I would say the best time to be out there fishing would be from 7:00 AM – 10:30 AM.  Then again from 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM.  Then one more time from 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them this morning and a 3 fish rating out of 4 this afternoon.  The item I would pluck out of my tackle box today would be a Walleye Float-N-Spinner With A No. 4 live-bait hook.  Add a piece of worm or leach and there is no fish out there that can resist what it has to offer.  Click Picture To Enlarge and good luck. 

Around Town:   Well long weekend is upon us here in Port Loring.  Also August is here showing off.  Yesterday there was a steady stream of cars moving into our area so thinking everyone in business will be quite busy for the next month or so.  Lots happening also for the month of August and one can click flyers below to view.

Good Morning:   Well finally some sunshine waking up.  Temperatures were sitting at…15.9 C | 60.62 F.  Will warm up even more as the day moves forward.

Forecast For Today:   Changeable, mending with some clouds.  Hoping the cloud part moves on and leaves us with nothing but sunshine.  Kind of had enough of the rain and cloudy, gloomy days.  What we need is them warm, lazy days of summer.  Mix that with some front porch sittin’ and a gal or feller is well on to their way of enjoying life.

Fishing Times & Tips:   This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there with rod in hand will be from…9:30 AM – 11:00 AM.  Then once again from 2:30 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Might move up to a 3 fish rating out of 4 this afternoon.  Depends if things all line up.  Tackle of the day I would recommend another...Panther Martin Walleye Spinner Lure – Fluorescent in colour.  I like the on with the smaller hook..1/4 ounce in weight.  Add a piece of live bait to the end of it, cast out near some lilly pads, stump or salad, wait a bit then slowly reel it back in and I am thinking that if there is nice pickerel anywhere near, he won’t be able to resist the tasty treat you are offering him.  These spinners sell for a nominal price of around $5.00.  Great addition to ones tackle box. Click Picture to enlarge for better viewing. 

Around Town:  Had some friends drop by yesterday dropping off a flyer relating to the Farmers Market, Farmers Day…a one day special event. Brings back a lot of memories for myself as I farmed for most my life.  Sounds to me like it is going to be a really great event and no one should miss it.  Only for one day starting at 9:00 AM.  August 6th, rain or shine.  Click Flyer for a larger version which will entail everything that is happening.  Take the time folks to attend, as without us folks supporting the local merchants, they will surely cease to exist.  Also the folks that are handling things at this event is looking for a volunteer to cook the corn.  If you feel your up to the challenge, drop me a line and I will let them know.  Thanks.

Good Morning:   Well another cloudy day here in Port Loring. Rain looks threatening but have to see how it goes as the progresses.   Waking up temperatures were a touch cool sitting at…13.9 C | 57.02 F.

Forecast For Today:    Showery early, improving.

Bug Report:   Few Mosquitoes around and a Deer Fly or two.  Not so bad this time of year but with all the wet weather they could get a bit irritating once the sun comes out and warms things up.

Fishing Times & Tips:  Today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from…8:00 AM – 12:30 PM.  Then a bit later from 3:30 PM – 6:30 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Not the greatest but one never knows.  Another lure that one might give a try would be a Mepps Comet Spinner.  Myself I like the yellow one with black dots, with a single hook.  Size would be..#2 –  1/6 oz.  You can use this lure anyway you can think of, Trolling, Casting, what ever you want.  You should though add a bit of bait to it just to entice what ever is lurking near by. 

Around Town:   Well Market day is upon us here in Port Loring this morning.  Great place to put on your list of places to visit.  Don’t forget all the other stores though, as we have gift shops, some quite unique with one of a kind items like our own.  Trash and Treasures and lots more. There is also two very nice restaurants that one can eat at, with a great atmosphere and  friendly service that serve you can’t be beat. Seek them out my friends, as the rewards are in abundance.  Click The Flyer Below to view all the information relating to the Farmers Market.  Also our Cornfest is closing in on us and you can click on that flyer below also, for all the details pertaining to it too.    And Not to forget Trash & Treasures.

Good Morning:    Hope all is well on this fine Monday morning.  Don’t know why, but I always enjoy Mondays.  Maybe it is because it’s the beginning of a new week and all is just waiting to be examined and choices can be made as one chooses.  Waking up it was a touch cool here in Port Loring this morning with temperatures sitting at…10.9 C | 51.62 F Well below normal for this time of year.  But things will warm up some in the coming days.

Forecast For Today:  Showery early, improving, taken from our very own weather station right here in Port Loring Ontario.  You can click this link to view all the details…http://www.loringlsb.ca/weather-station/ 

Bug Report:   Not much flying around out there with the cool weather this morning, but as things warm up so will the insects.  But not enough to bother folks.

Fishing Times & Tips:  This morning looking at the old weather stick and taking everything into consideration, the best times to be out there will be from 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM.  Then again a bit later from 2:00 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them this morning and a 3 fish rating out of 4 this afternoon.  So things will improve as the day moves forward.  My lure of the day which I would defiantly give a try would be.. A Williams Trophy I & Trophy II .  They come in two sizes…Trophy I being 1/2 oz. and 2″in length.  Trophy II being 3/4 oz and  2-1/2″ long.  I myself prefer the 2″.  With this lure you can cast to where you like, preferably near some lilly pads, stump or shore and without a doubt if there is a nice Large Mouth Bass, Pickerel, (my favourite) or a Pike;  what ever it be, you will have fish for supper.  Also the Water Lilies are out in bloom this time of year which makes fishing even better.  You can usually purchase this lure From $5.99  & up. Click Picture To Enlarge for better viewing.  Good Luck!

Around Town:    Not too much going on to start off our week.  I did manage to get to North Bay yesterday to pick up a few things of need.  Sure is a pleasant drive with all of nature surrounding an individual.  I enjoy the drive as much as the time there, almost.  Lots of folks in the stores I noticed, which is a good sign of how our economy is doing.  We visited our son Karl while there and he took us out to Swiss Chalet for supper.  I have to say it sure was tasty with some great service.  Only thing I noticed was…that folks coming in… if not stopped likes to walk right to the front of the line.  Twice it happened and for most parts they showed no remorse what’s so ever when told to move back to the end of the line.  Thing was that most of these folks should know better being my age or better.  Not sure where their minds are today and to my reasoning…it is just being Discourteous, plain and simply.  Other than that though, we had a great time visiting our son, a great meal, along with a great day out and about doing what one enjoys.

So how you all doing on this fine Saturday Morning?   Hope you are all healthy and enjoying the summer.  Some sunshine waking up this morning with temperatures sitting at…17.3 C | 63.14 F.  Clouding up a touch as I type.

Forecast For Today:   Rain, very unsettled throughout the day.  Will see sunshine I am thinking off and on with a chance of a thunderstorm. All depends on which course they choose to take as there is a few different storms out there right now crossing Ontario.

Bug Report:    Have to say it is really nice out there pertaining to insects of all kinds.  I worked out on my back deck yesterday all day and never seen anything other than one or two pesky deerflies, which left after they found out I wasn’t interested in their shenanigans.

Fishing Times & Tips:   Today if heading out one should makes sure they take along a rain coat.  The old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:30 AM – 11:00 AM and once again from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM.  I give it a 4 fish rating out of 4 for catching them, this morning and this afternoon.  Great day for catching them providing weather plays along with ones intentions.   The fishing lure I recommend today is a Canadian Wiggler Hollow Brass Lure.  This lure is great for casting, trolling and spin casting.  You can also try a bit of worm on the end of it, as an extra tease for that large Pickerel, Pike or Bass that is just a bit finicky on biting.   On a cloudy day in dark waters a lure that is easy to see is a must and this Silver Shiner 2-3/8 inches long is just the lure to catch their attention. If you don’t have this lure in your tackle box a live shiner hooked correctly, just in front of its top back fin, should also show great results.  Then next time in town see about getting one.  They sell for under $10.00.  Click Picture to enlarge…  Good Luck!

Around Town:   Well seems a bit quiet this morning here in Port Loring this morning.  Not too many cars moving up and down highway 522.  I have to say I haven’t seen as many campers moving into our area this year.  But there are quite a few I noticed in our Government Parks.  So at the very least folks are out and about  enjoying nature.  Here in Ontario we have a short season and one sure has to take advantage of it while they can.  July wasn’t the greatest weather wise I know, but August my friends…you don’t want to miss what we have to offer here in the North.  No where is it more restful and healthy relating to fresh air and solitude; which we have in abundance, just waiting for you here in Port Loring.  Some say our town is the best kept secret in all of Canada.

On another note my very good friend Carrie Rogers dropped by the other day riding her horse Rhythm.  I have to say Rhythm is sure a beauty to say the least.  We had a great chat and she asked if I would like to take a ride.  I wasn’t about to say no.  Been a few years since I sat a horse, but once up on top memories of years past came rushing back.  Great feeling for sure as my own horse, Jennie, many years ago, was almost identical, other than being a touch smaller.  I can’t thank Carrie enough, for giving me the chance, to once again feel what it is like to ride one of the most amazing creatures that our world has to offer.  Of course we took a few pictures of, Rhythm, Carrie & myself.

Good Morning:   Well not so bad a morning so far.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at… 14.2 C | 57.56 F and will warm up in a bit.

Forecast For Today:   Showery early, then improving and should see some sunshine a bit later on.

Bug Report:   Pretty good out there these days other than a few mosquitoes and deerflies.  The mosquitoes are more of a pest in the evening hours.  One at least can enjoy their day now without being pestered to much.

Fishing Times:   This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from…9:30 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then once again from 2:00 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them this morning and a 3 fish rating out of 4 this afternoon.  Today I would recommend a Frog Lure.  If your into Bass Fishing this one should get a few into the boat for you.  Cast out to some lilly pads and let set.  If there is a Bass around it  won’t be able to resist. These can be picked up for under $10.00.  Don’t add any weight to your line, use as is.   Click Pictures To Enlarge…   Good Luck.

Around Town:   I got a flyer from Tornado’s Resort here for you to look at.  Great place to visit, stay for a few days or enjoy a meal that will surely make you ask for more.  Click Flyer’s below to enlarge and view all they have to offer.  It is a must to take in if your in our area.

Good Morning:  Well a bit cloud here this morning starting off.  Also a bit cooler which is OK by me.  Temperatures waking up were sitting at…15 C | 59 F.  I found around 10:00 PM things cooled off last night and made it nice for sleeping.  Winds also have switched from the SSW to the North this morning. Reason why it has cooled down some.

Bug Report:  With all the wind yesterday there wasn’t a bug around.  Was quite nice sitting out on my front porch.  Nothing like front porch sittin’ takin’ in what Mother Nature has to offer.

Forecast For Today:  Showery early, improving.   Thinking August will be a bit cooler, nice though, with lots of sunshine.

Fishing Report:   Today using data from the old weather stick and my Grandfather’s notes of years past it is saying that the best time to be out there will be from…8:30 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then later on from 4:00 PM – 7:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 this morning and a 3 rating out of 4 this afternoon.  Tackle I recommend today for bringing them is a Rapala, Original Floater 3½-inch along with a Shallow Diver. Once you attach it to the end of your line, cast towards a stump or weed bed, don’t be in a rush in bringing it back in. Wait a minute or two, then slowly give it a wee tug. If there is a Large Mouth Bass, Pickerel or Pike lurking around…it’s yours. If no luck the first time, keep on trying.  Good luck.

Around Town: Have a note from Mike Buchanan this morning.

Stage One is the acceptance to the Partnership Application with Red Cross.

Click Picture to enlarge.  Good Luck.

Around Town:   I see more tourists looking us over here in Port Loring.  Our small store has been steadily busy with folks dropping by.  Also a few resorts saying that they are doing quite well.  So all and all not so bad this year.  Seems it is always a bit slow starting off but then gets into full swing nearing August.  Lots to do around the house here for myself.  Gardens are doing great this year and can’t see the earth for coverage of plants.  Good sign.  Also pumpkins have been running for the past few weeks along with the squash with tons of blossoms and lots of produce now showing up just behind those blossoms.  Corn is also doing quite well and looks exceptionally healthy this year along with tomatoes, herbs, lettuce, zucchini, and red peppers.  Not to forget the Kale.  No complaints in the veggie department this year so far.

Also don’t forget that tomorrow is.. Market Day.  For all the information take a look at the flyer below.  Click to enlarge.

Let you line out till it reaches bottom then raise an inch or so and should be no reason a nice Pickerel or Pike doesn’t make a meal out of it.  Oh and don’t forget that Goham’s Bait here in Port Loring is the choice of some great tackle and live bait.  Say hi to Reg for me, he is the owner.  Great fellow and knows his stuff when it comes to fishing. Good luck.

Around Town:    Not to much to report here this morning.  You can look at my previous posts as they have some interesting things that is taking place in our area.  My wife and I did notice last night coming home that our Legion had a great turnout.  Cars parked everywhere. Great to see folks supporting our Local Events.    Tea time here my friends. In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well.
