Good Morning:   Well cloudy looking day out there once again.   Some sunshine though will break through now and then but temperatures will remain somewhat cool.  Waking up this morning temperatures were sitting at..11.3 C | 52.34 F.  The long weekend though is looking good so far.

Forecast For Today:   Rather unsettled clearing later.  Taken from our very own weather station located right here in Port Loring… Click Link for all information relating to our weather…http://www.loringlsb.ca/weather-station/

Bug Report:   Hardly any flying around.  With this cool wet weather they stay hidden.  Which is OK by me.

Fishing Times & Tips:      This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from…6:00 AM – 9:30 AM.  Then once again from 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 4 this morning and a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them this afternoon.  Not the greatest weather to say the least but things will improve I promise.  The lure of the day through my estimation would be the..Panther Martin Regular Spinner.  It weighs in at..3/8 oz. The  rotation it makes creates vibrations which sends out hydro-sonic waves that “call to the fish”, even when they can’t see them. Gold in colour would be my choice. Price for these lures are very reasonable too as you can pick them up for around $5.00 or so.  Great lure for sure, one of the greats and everyone should have one in their tackle box.  Add a piece of worm or a leach to the end and I am sure that you will be eating fish for supper.  Click Picture to Enlarge for Better Viewing.   Good Luck! 

Around Town:   With it being so cool and wet folks are kind of staying in.  Also this time of year there is a transition taking place.  The folks that took their holidays from work in July are all heading back home, back to their normal routine.  The second batch now is gearing up for August…which in my opinion is the greatest month of the year for enjoying the north.  So we will just have to set back and see what develops.  Today I will get too thinning the pumpkins and squash, as they are over grown in leaves this year.  Some leaves are needed to shade the main plants, but to many leaves as we have this year, doesn’t allow the sun to penetrate to the produce, reducing the potential the pumpkins themselves have to offer.  So that should keep me busy for awhile.  One just never knows what a  day might present to a fellow or gal and I am sure more is intended.

In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well.

Good morning.  Well a bit cloudy here this morning.  Had a few showers through the night no accumulations to speak of. Temperatures waking up were sitting at…17.7 C | 63.86 F.

Forecast For Today:    Fairly fine, possible showers early to start things off.  Should see some sunshine a bit later as things progress’s.  Hope so as we sure need it.

Bug Report:  Well…the more things change, the more they remain the same.  Mosquitoes are still with us and this damp weather won’t help any to reduce their population.  Few deerflies hanging around irritating folks but all and all not so bad.

Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there with hook in water will be from…9:30 AM –  11:30 AM.  Then once again a bit later from 2:30 PM -6:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating for catching them out of 4.  Data right at this time is changing as I type and it is quite possible that later on the chances of catching them could raise to 3 out of 4.  Lure of the day I would recommend a nice bright one like in the picture.  Doesn’t have to be the exact kind but should be one made for shallow diving.  Click Picture to enlarge and good luck.

Around Town:   Quiet here in Port Loring this morning.    My gardens though are really putting on a show this year and I would have to say it is the best of the best this year, for growing things. My lovely wife has been steadily drying herbs for Fall and got jars loaded to the hilt.  So will be eating healthy in that department let me tell you.  The house sure smells nice with her drying them.  Also one has to take into account the money one saves by growing their own, not to forget the quality.  I priced a few of the herbs like oregano, sage, basil and some others in the grocery store and I was shocked to see that they were charging, anywhere from  $3:00 – $5.00 for a small bunch.  Prices of things have sure risen over the years to say the least.  Main reason being that Canada..for most parts has become less self efficient.  Once, one of the largest producing countries of their very own vegetables, now rely on other countries.  We fell victim to the money seekers, where as subdivisions and factories built on our prime land, was more important than looking after ones health and needs.  To bad,  as it never can be brought back to what once was.

Morning Folks.  Nice looking day out there.  The rain yesterday that was thinking of coming into our area didn’t arrive.  Maybe a bit today, as our forecast for today is saying it will be…. Showery early, improving though throughout the day.  So thinking not much rain is in our presence at this time.  Temperatures waking up are sitting at…12.4 C | 54.32 F and will warm up a few more degrees a bit later.

Bug Report:  Finding the mosquitoes are quite bad this morning to start things off. Few pesky deerflies also are around.  Also a few blackflies are still annoying folks, but for most parts they are gone for another year.

Fishing Times:   Well this morning looking at the old weather stick and putting things together it seems that the best times to be out there will be from.. 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM then again from 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM an one more time later on from 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them early in the day and a 3 out of 4 fish rating for catching them later on in the day.  So might pull in a few today.  Good luck!

Around Town:   See lots of tourists and cottage owners moving into the area these days.  Campers, Boats, 4 Wheelers you name it, all are making their appearance for another season.  Great to see them arriving each morning watching them go up and down the highway loaded with things to make their venture into the wilderness more fun and exciting.  For myself I can enjoy nature by sitting in an old chair, quietly taking in what she has to offer.  Guess that is a sign of one getting a touch older.  Not that old though.

Garden Report:   Things are growing quite rapidity these days.  Lettuce, spinach and pretty well all our herbs are being enjoyed each day now.  Tomatoes are starting to show off a bit, but could use a drink.  Was hoping for some rain but thinking now, that I might have to be their source of nourishment, water wise any ways.  Pumpkins an cucumbers are also doing well, along with the squash.  So great year for a garden.  Still not to late to get one started if your interested. Most places have plants already started and wouldn’t take much to get them to growing.  Might be a touch later for your tomatoes, and others with fruits, but still worth while planting.  Well guess that is it for this morning.  Heading out for my Dandelion tea, take in our surrounding scenes and breath in some of that fresh northern air.  Then see where the day brings us. Enjoy your day my friends, get some sunshine on that skin of yours.  No Doctors Needed.

Good morning.  Well today we will see some  showers early in the morning then heavy rain in the afternoon with some thunder thrown in for good measure.  High today will be about 45F. Winds are from the  ENE at 10 to 15 mph. Rainfall near one inch.  Rain and perhaps a thunderstorm will continue through the night.  Low tonight 42F. Winds NE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 80%. 1 to 2 inches of rain expected. So lots of rain heading our way.  The moon will rise today at ; 6:31 AM & set at 5:51 PM.  Moon Phase today is;   1%  Waning  Crescent.  The sun is up there this morning but behind some clouds. It rose at; 7:35 AM & will set at  6:33 PM.  Giving us here in Port Loring; 10 hrs. 58 mins. lost another 4 minutes today.  For those wanting to head on out and do some hunting, well kind of thinking it might be a touch to wet later on but if so the old weather stick says the best times to be out there will be from; 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM.

News For Port Loring

Not to much to report around town, things real quite quiet actually. The weather hasn’t been the greatest lately neither, that doesn’t help ones getting out.  For myself I am slowly getting things done around the house here. Still got to till my garden and plant my garlic. Old back is playing games with me though with the wet cold damp weather.  But this to shall pass. I will say this though; the wood heat sure is pleasant for aches and pains as being so dry.  Not complaining mind ya, still can’t wait to get out of bed each morning.  Also ordered another four cords of firewood. I have around 16 cords of nice dry stuff piled high in the basement, but something is telling me we might just get a longer winter this year.  The more I study nature the more she is telling me that maybe a touch more snow and some colder weather is heading our way.  One item my old grandfather told me years ago is that if the cedars loose more leaves than usual it’s a good sign of lots of snow and ours here around the house have lost over half.  Reason being the leaves would hold the snow and break their branches. Less weight lest damage.  Makes sense to me and pretty smart on their part.  Time will tell.  Well have a great day my friends, turmeric tea time here and see what the day has to offer.
