A Day At The Zoo

I made sure to reduce my hours at my second job this month so I could enjoy the last bit of good weather with the family before the winter hits. I spent way too much time working in the last month and missed out on some great fishing as a result.

We drove across the province last weekend to go to Nova Scotia’s largest zoo. I had planned to get some striped bass fishing in, but forgot my fshing rod at home. Oaklawn Farm Zoo is home and birthplace of the largest lion in captivity, Rutledge, who weighs over 800 pounds! While this zoo is quite small, compared to my favorite zoo, Toronto Zoo, it’s prefect for young children and has plenty to see in a small area. It only costs $6.50 per adult, and children under 3 are free to enter!

A Different Kind of Fishing – by Adam Guy

How do you catch fish in water over ten meters deep using a rod that does not have a reel, or even guides for your line? Simple: fashion the rod from bamboo, hollow out the centre and run the line through the middle and out the very end of the rod. Wrap your spare line around a couple of pegs at the other end, and you are ready to indulge in the traditional Japanese fishing technique known as tebane.

    I never jump on the bandwagon too quickly Simon. Call it old age or just being an internet veteran.
