    Default Canadian Swap Box at Last

    Hello all,

    I am sorry for the delays, we have had some serious family problems to deal with here and I just couldn't get to it. We are slowly getting back to normal and I will be mailing the box this week. The names I have are:

    Jim Roik
    Mike Adams
    Ailsa McIntosh
    Paul Ratcliff
    John King
    Lauder Smith

    If any one else located in Canada wants to be added please reply and send me your address. Deadline Wednesday January 12 and it ships out Thursday. Lets keep this one going the rouds a few times. Again sorry for the delay.

    Lauder

    Hi folks,

    The box of dead animal parts is off, take what you need add what you have and pass it on. There are shipping stickers addressed and included as well as a list of every one's address in case there is a problem.

    It is now off to:

    1. John King in Newfoundland

    2. Mike Adams in Calgary, do you fish Fernie area? I am there in the summer.

    3. John Sandness in Princton BC

    4. Nicholas Gait, Salt Spring Island, BC

    5. Jim Roik, Qualicum Beach, BC

    6. Ailsa McIntosh, Mission BC

    7. Paul Ratcliff, Nelson, BC

    8. Lauder Smith, Newburgh, Ontario


    Have fun and keep us posted,

    Lauder

    No, I've never fished the Fernie area, and with the change to the B.C. regs this year, it's doubtful that I will. The rivers in that area are being changed to classified waters so you not only have to buy a BC licence but also pay an additional $20 fee per day even if you are from elsewhere in Canada. Not good. It's a very big topic of contention in Alberta at the moment.

    I'll stick with the Alberta side of the pass. Sadly, a lot more people probably will as well.

    HI
    The box is re-stuffed and on its way to Calgary after a short blizzard delay. Repaired the snowblower twice and the car once so winter is fun again.

    It was great to get this-- thanks Lauder for starting it.

    Great news, the box at least. I am glad you enjoyed playing with it. The snow on it will likely melt in Calgary. Take care,

    Lauder

    Yesterday it would have melted, but now it's snowing here and getting colder by the hour. The temporary respite from winter is over. Brrr.

    I await the box with great anticipation.

    It just arrived here today, from Newfoundland to Alberta in a mere 11 days. Will the wonders of Canada Post ever cease?

    I've only had the chance to glance through it quickly. Looks interesting. What is that really soft fur with the irregularly distributed guard hairs?

    Anyway, I'll have some stuff swapped and in the mail again by the weekend.
