At many of the larger stations, we NEED volunteers to help complete the work. If possible, please volunteer to help with o­ne or more of these larger sites listed below. The work is fun and rewarding and you will help us collect valuable data about the health of the river. Please email Heather Yates at stewardship@creditvalleycons.com or phone (905) 670-1615 (ext. 285) if you wish to help out with any of these dates or to get more information.

So I hope that these tips will help you get started on the road to great fly tying success. I hope to get better quality files as I learn how to better utilize the movie aspects of the web. Good luck Thu, 16 Mar 2006 02:34:07 -0500 http://flyfishing-ontario.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=46 The Light Hendrickson fly has stood the test of time, simply because it does the job. This fly is different from the classic Catskill style that the Dette's and Darbie's made famous with the splayed duck wing feathers. This is a must have if you like the Hendrickson hatch in fast free stone rivers in Ontario, or anywhere for that matter. The other great treat of learning this style of fly is the many easy variations that you can tie just by using different colored dubbing or hackles. I hope this helps.

Watershed based source protection planning is one of the most effective means of protecting the safety of Ontario’s drinking water as supported by the findings of the Walkerton Inquiry.

The very word ‘spring’ makes me think of the river. The river makes me think of opening day. Then I am completely lost to the here and now and have drifted to the first good hatch of the year, which I believe to be Wed, 21 Dec 2005 16:39:51 -0500 http://flyfishing-ontario.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=42 William Joseph has people going Coastal and not without reason! I received a big box from William Joseph full of products to be reviewed. Many of my testers gravitated to this particular pack. I had to insist to many of them that it was not swag and they did have to give it back to me as it was being sent to The Trout Unlimited Silent Auction. Fri, 16 Dec 2005 08:29:34 -0500 http://flyfishing-ontario.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=40 The Clear Creek Baileys Ford Chest Pack is a true blend of what you find in the chest pack market today. Clear Creek has found, what I think is everything that you need in an all-round chest pack. The Baileys Ford Pack is made in a rich rust colour that does not offend. Both the front and side straps are easy to adjust. The front pockets are both wide and deep giving you more than adequate room for very large fly boxes for large fish situations but it is not too big to be cumbersome – it is very versatile.

Hey, that is just fine because you won’t be looking back with this extreme Tulli super pack. I say super pack because not only could you fish out of this pack; you could also live out of this pack.

I really like this vest, bib, side bag,??? it’s the William Joseph Mini Chest Pack. Thu, 20 Oct 2005 07:50:35 -0400 http://flyfishing-ontario.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=35 I am writing because o­ne of the most valuable trout and salmon rivers o­n the north of Lake Superior is being threatened by a proposed hydro development. Anglers in the area need the help of concerned citizens to join our efforts to protect the pristine Steel. Below is an article describing the situation threatening the Steel. Sincerely Gordon Martin Sat, 27 Aug 2005 13:09:50 -0400 http://flyfishing-ontario.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=34 Trout Unlimited and the Credit River Conservation Authority got together the Sunday before the Trout season opener to do the annual clean up. All present were happy to report that there was noticeably less garbage than in years past (but more jeep parts)! I must say there is a true sense of dedication with these groups of people, they take their free time and spend it planning many ways to make the water and the time we spend on it more enjoyable and clean.

This vise is also somewhat advanced with full rotation and a swivel neck for adequate fly manipulation. Fri, 29 Apr 2005 23:42:27 -0400 http://flyfishing-ontario.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=31 This is a great tool for river Real Time River flows. Gord Lindsay of Winter Hatches and the TU Humber chapter passed this on to me, so I better thank him now.

You receive a box from PEAK, open it and again it says PEAK Engineering. My first thought is that it must be a very well made product since an engineering company is producing it.

This vise is mane by Anvil USA and as the companies name would suggest this is one sturdy tool. I would not let this vise drop on you wood floors.

It can swim like a fish, crawl out of its riverbed home, and hatch out of the water like a stonefly. Okay well, I won't make this legendary trout treat the be all and end all of fly-fishing, but it is a great one.

Once the vise arrivedI was thrilled and understood why they were ready to show off their vise. This is not a cheap vise, no matter what the price.

There are all types of programs that the Credit Valley Conservation has under its mandate so it should not be hard to for an individual to find an area in which to volunteer. Fri, 04 Mar 2005 18:25:45 -0500 http://flyfishing-ontario.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=21 The objective is to help inform Fly Fishing Ontario readers and to keep conservation in the forefront of everyone’s mind. Our aim is to highlight the issues and hopefully the solutions of conservation.

I have looked long and hard asked tons of questions and have spent more time than I should admit in public looking at the water to say this out loud. Yes many Iso’s will make there way to a stick, log or rock to hatch but not all seem to have the plush platform to launch their new faze of life. This makes for a good opportunity for Brookies to have a quick easy meal. Mon, 14 Feb 2005 12:24:46 -0500
