His favourite story is of when he was fishing on a river that empties into Georgian Bay. Fishers from all over were fishing with expensive gear and he was using his homemade flies. He was catching fish after fish but no one else was catching anything. His secret was the small amounts of cat hair he had brushed out of out long-haired cat.EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-9966285225921357442011-08-08T20:00:59.985-07:002011-08-08T20:00:59.985-07:00Yes Paul, he would have made a tasty meal for a wh...Yes Paul, he would have made a tasty meal for a whole family I think. <br /><br />Kay - Clinker-built boats are historic here on the coast as well.

It was also a 14-footer, but it was wood, the kind of boat they used to call "cllinker-built" and which are now considered "classic" and available in kit form.<br />In the 1950s it was considered a great honor for one of us to be invited out to fish on Okanagan Lake with Dad.<br />Good fishing story, Margy. Wonderful that you got the pieces of your reel back.<br />— K<br /><br />Kay, Alberta, Canada<br />An Unfittie's Guide to Adventurous TravelKay L.
