Even though it was Clive’s birthday on Sunday, and I didn’t think to send him anything, he managed to send me a present earlier in the week. Was this some kind of reminder? I guess I’m not as bright as some of these lures!

There is even a (first ever?) Rockstar Lures Pike Fly on the right!
Rockstar Lures – Lures That ROCK!
I also found this awesome Birthday Fishing Cake on craft addicts.

It’s a common misconception that Canada Day celebrates the independence of Canada, when it in fact celebrates Canada’s birth. July 1st marks the joining of the British colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada (Ontario and Quebec) into a federation of four provinces in 1867.
Canadians typically celebrate their day off by drinking beer out of specially designed Canada Day cups.

Happy 142nd Canada!
