Good morning. Well this morning the sun is trying to make an appearance. Temperatures waking up were a touch cool sitting at…12.8 C | 55.04 F.  Being so nice and cool one can sleep like a log. Perfect weather one could say.

Forecast For Today:    Showery early, improving throughout the day.

Bug Report:   Well the only culprit out there annoying folks are the mosquitoes.  Had a camp fire going last night and it was pretty hard to get away from them.  Needles to say we called it a night after dark.  But had fun just the same.

Fishing Times:    This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then once again from 4:30 PM – 7:00 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 4 for catching them in the morning;  and then a 2 fish rating for catching them in the evening.  Not the greatest day but one just never knows.  Good luck.

Around Town: Very quiet to say the least.  Tourists are waiting to make their appearance in quantity, till after the kids are out of school, which isn’t to far off.  Things should change then.  We have been quite busy this year with improving things around our property, along with adding new products to our small store.  Native American Flutes has been our biggest seller, along with our books this year so far. Wife’s signs for cottages and places also has done quite well, with her always having one or two on the go. But then what can I say….she is a great Artist and does them up well with all kinds of scenes, as she does with all her paintings.  We are in hopes of having a numerous number of her paintings, sketches and originals for sale later on in the summer.  We also changed our sign our front which reads Northern Pine Gallery Of Fine Arts.  Thought that was fitting, as we are surrounded by our huge red pines.  Lovely spot we have here, so if your in the area drop by.

Good morning folks.  Well a bit cool out there this morning but sure is pleasant weather for sleeping and working.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at…9.8 C | 49.64 F.  Will warm up some though as the day moves forward.

Forecast For Today:   Fairly fine, possible showers early.

Bug Report:   Well things in this department have slowed down some.  Makes it better when bugs and humans get along.  Mosquitoes are still here of course and will be for the rest of the summer. Horse and deerflies will be with us also.  But for most parts the blackflies have left us for another year.  With fishing season upon us, makes it more enjoyable being out with nature, without being pestered to much by these creatures of annoyance.

Fishing Times:   Well this morning things are looking up a touch.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  The old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there today will be from 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM.  Again a bit later from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM.  Then one more time from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM.  Should be able to put some fish on the table for supper today I would think.  Good Luck!

Good morning.  Well a bit cooler this morning with temperatures sitting at…                    11.3 C | 52.34 F.  Forecast for today taken from our very own weather station is calling for it to be….Fairly fine, possible showers early then sunshine should be upon us with some warmer temperatures.

Fishing Times:    This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from….9:00 AM – 11:00 AM.  Then once again from 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 3 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.

Bug Report:  Mosquitoes are still quite bad especially if near the bush. Yesterday with the wind and some sunshine they were held back from their feeding habits upon us humans.  Was OK with me as I had my mowing to do.

Around Town:   Well it is that time of year with the Argyle Fish Enhancement..24th Annual Poker Run closing in on us.  For all the information please click flyer below to enlarge.  Enjoy your day my friends.

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.
