Bug Report:  Other than a few mosquitoes pestering folks things are looking good.  Can’t really ask for anything better.

Fishing Times:  Well today the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from, 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM.  Then a bit later from 2:30 PM – 6:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Not the best but then again one never knows.  Good luck.

Around Town:  Not too much happening these days, a few events happening at the Legion here in town.  Tomorrow morning our Farmers Market will be open for business.  For all the details relating to things happening there click flyer below to enlarge.  Enjoy your day my friends.  

Good morning.  Well had  substantial amount of rain through the night and will get some more throughout the day. Waking up temperatures were sitting at…19.2 C | 66.56 F.

Fishing Times:    Today the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from 8:30 AM – 11:00 AM.  Then once again later on from 2:30 PM – 6:00 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Will get better as the week progresses.

Bug Report:   A few mosquitoes and deerflies bothering folks but other than that things are looking pretty good. We will always have some sort of annoying bugs as this is where we live.  But the severity of them diminishes some, as the summer months moves forward towards Fall.

Around Town:   Things are quiet these days.  Weather and things slow the tourists down some what.  And can’t say I blame them either.  If one only gets two or three weeks a year holidays, well…they want to try and pick the best weeks to enjoy what they like doing most.  No fun sitting in a cottage not being able to get out and enjoy Nature.  But we still have lots of time yet.  Enjoy your day my friends.  GW

Good morning. Well really nice day here this morning.  Sun is shinning with a light breeze coming in from the North North West.  Temperatures are just perfect sitting at 20.8 C | 69.44 F.  No humidity to speak of, what could be better.  But things might change in a bit.

Forecast For Today:    Stormy, much rain as the day progresses and into tonight.  Not that we really need it.

Bug Report:  With the cool, dryer weather mosquitoes have died down some.  Deer flies are a bit annoying to some that live in the bush areas.  That covers most of Port Loring.  But all and all not so bad.  One can put up with them now.

Fishing Times:  Well today is the day for bringing them into the boat. Times to be out there will be from 8:00 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then again from 12:30 PM – 4:00 PM.  Today I give it a 4 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  All signs relating to nature is saying it will be a perfect day for catching them.  Until the rain moves in if it does.  So good luck, no reason for not catching them today.  Bait I recommend is worms on the end of a coloured lure.

Around Town:  Quiet around our small community this morning.  Folks are out and about heading off to their place of worship. For myself I find my front porch or back porch does about the same for me, in bringing ones mind back to reality. But it is up to each individually on what road they decide to choose.  Nothing is more soothing to me than to sit out and look at my gardens surrounded by Mother Nature.  Enjoy your day my friends.  GW

Good morning.  Well really nice day waking up here in Port Loring.  Temperatures are sitting at…13.3 C | 55.94 F.   Will warm up and be quite pleasant all day.

Bug Report:  Things are looking good in this department.  A few mosquitoes, horse and deerflies around along with no-see flies.

Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from 7:30 AM – 9:30 AM.  Then a bit later from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM and one more time from 5:00 – 7:15 PM.  So lots of time to catch a few for supper.  I give it a 3 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.

In The News:  Went to town yesterday as had to stop by Ford for them to check our new vehicle over.  Got a shuttle to the North Bay Mall and wife and I had lunch there while waiting for our car to be fixed up.  While there met quite a few folks, that read my columns.  Always nice to chat to folks.  Also seen Jim from our landfill here in Port Loring and we chatted for a bit.  Found out his wife was in the hospital.  My wife and I would like to wish her a speedy recovery.  Nothing worse than being laid up with health related problems.  On another note I did notice that they fixed up Lakeshore Drive in North Bay to where it is drivable once again.  There were so many pot holes that I dreaded driving on it.  Lot nicer now.  Also noticed they are working on Castle Street near Food Basic.  Have to say it needed it too.   Lot of needed work finally being done in and around the Bay.  Good to see.  I noticed lots of shoppers out an about picking up items of choice.  Mall was full along with Wall-mart.  Independent grocery store now is back in full swing with folks finally realizing what Wall-mart was doing.  Great to see that some folks can’t be fooled.  Later on visited our son Karl, and went out for supper.  He even bought, how about that?  Great fellow and we are quite proud of him.  So…thinking a tea is in order here now this morning and will then see where the day brings us.  Enjoy your day my friends.  GW

Good morning.  Well internet was down yesterday for the morning so didn’t get to adding much.  This morning though things are back to normal but a touch cooler.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at…14.4 C | 57.92 F.  Big difference than the last the few days.  Had to put on a sweater.

Forecast For Today:   Changeable, mending as the day progresses.

Bug Report:   Actually quite nice out there other than a few mosquitoes and no see flies.  They don’t really hurt you but they do annoy you with getting in ones eyes, ears and nose.  Full time job swishing them away if out near a car, mower or any other piece of equipment that is running.  Same as most the insects they are after the carbon-monoxide that comes from the engines and us humans. Draws them to you.

Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from…9:00 AM – 12:30 PM.  Then again from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Good luck.

Information:   Not to much to report.  Yesterday with the Farmers Market things were quite busy.  At least for us here at our small store.  Lots of good friends from the USA  dropped by.  Good to see them too.  Also lots of folks from the surrounding area came for a visit and to purchase items of choice. On another note, with all this rain the veggie garden is sure growing.  Think things grew a foot.  Can almost stand there an watch things reaching up towards the sun.  Should have a great crop of everything this year. Actually I figure we are about a week ahead of last year with things getting ready to eat.  So in-spite of our cool spring we are still ahead of the game.  Enjoy your day my friends.  GW
