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!

News Around Town:    There is a Ride happening here in our area called… Forget Us Not Memorial Ride for Amber Booth.  For all the information pertaining the the Ride..Click the following Link.  It is a great web site, nicely put together and will explain everything in great detail.  Take a look…http://www.forgetusnotride.com/

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.

Good morning.  Well a really nice looking day thus far.  Temperatures are sitting at….     17 C | 62.6 F.  Will warm up to where it was yesterday a bit later on. Forecast for today is calling for it to be….Stormy, much rain later on in the day and into tomorrow and Tuesday even. Going to get some rain which in reality is needed.  Amazing how things dry out so quickly.  Reason being it is mostly sandy soil in our area.  Mother nature looks after her own.  We as humans think we are so powerful, but if truth be known we are smaller than a gnat compared to our Mother…Earth.   Makes me smile when the so called Powers That Be….say. “This is the way it’s going to be.”

Bug Report:  Well…Black Flies and Mosquitoes are out in full force preying upon us warm blooded critters.  They aren’t real fussy neither, be it horses, dogs, cats, birds, deer or humans.  All a spring feast to them.  At any rate each day moves forward towards the end of the Black Flies and hoping the Mosquitoes fill their appetite and leave us humans alone a bit.  Of course then we have the horse flies and deer flies, along with the no see flies coming into the picture.  Kind of just have to take them one at at time.

Fishing Times:  Today the old weather stick, along with Grandfathers Formula, says that the best times to be out there fishing will be from 12:00 PM – 2:30 PM.  Then once again from 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating for catching them early, with a 2 fish rating out of 4 later on in the day.  So not the greatest day for fishing, but as I always say…One just never knows when that big old Walleye might take a notion to have a snack.  Good luck!

Around Town:  Quiet here in town this morning.  Once again hardly a car going up or down Highway 522.  You know that tells me folks are staying home enjoying their time with their families.  Seems like a modest thing one can do.  Don’t you think?  My family lives so far apart, makes it a bit hard to communicate, but when we do see each other we make up in the Hug department let me tell ya.

Below I have added a couple flyer’s which might be of interest to folks.  Especially those looking for groceries in our area.  Click Flyer to enlarge…

Also our Legion here in Port Loring, Branch 415 has a few happenings. Click to enlarge. 

So lots to take in here on the Blog this morning.  Enjoy your day, soak up some much needed Vitamin D, that our sun so gracefully gives us for free, sit back and take in what Nature has to offer. ‘No Doctors Needed.’   GW
