Posted on March 31st, 2008 in Uncategorized by admin

The Renous River is a Canadian river in New Brunswick.

The Renous River has its origins at several lakes in the Miramichi Highlands, part of the Appalachian Mountains, in the northwestern corner of Northumberland County.

Generally flowing southeast through heavy forests, the Renous River joins the Southwest Miramichi River at the village of Quarryville in Renous, NB.

The Southwest Miramichi River then joins the Northwest Miramichi River at Newcastle, NB to form the Miramichi River.

June through October each summer and early autumn. Fishing is restricted to fly fishing only and all large salmon must be released. Salmon fishing in this river is generally best after a spate.

Ice pack - shappell ice fishing

Posted on March 31st, 2008 in Uncategorized by admin

An ice pack (commonly used therapeutically) is a plastic sac of crushed or cubed ice, refrigerant gel or liquid, or even frozen vegetables.
This refrigerant, usually non-toxic, can absorb a lot of heat, since its specific heat is very high.

It is commonly used to alleviate the pain of minor injuries.

The most common type of ice pack is simply a sack, bag, or towel filled with cubed or crushed ice.

Ice packs are used in coolers (insulated closed boxes for food) to keep disease-bearing foods (meats, milk products, eggs, etc.) below 41 degrees Fahrenheit to keep them safe for eating. If the foods and the ice packs fill the cooler directly from the freezer, then the equivalent of 10 to 20 pounds of ice is needed for each 24 hour period. If the ice pack is filled with a coolant, then the same weight may last longer. If the foods come from the refrigerator then they will not stay cool as long with the same size ice pack. These foods should remain over 41 degrees F and under 165 degrees F for no longer than 4 hours accumulated over their entire existence. In that way, ice packs can be considered equivalent to a larger mass of ice.

Ice packs have the added benefit over ice that they do not cross-contaminate foods as ice can do when it turns liquid and mixes with the foods.

Eskimo (album) - eskimo ice fishing

Posted on March 30th, 2008 in Uncategorized by admin

Eskimo is an album by The Residents that was originally supposed to follow 1976’s Fingerprince. However, due to many delays and arguments with management, it was not released until 1979. Upon release it was hailed as the group’s best record to date.

Rather than actual songs, the pieces are generally made up of sound effects, occasional playing on home-made instruments and gibberish standing in for actual Inuit. The stories were all created by the group and, despite their claims otherwise, is not meant to be a true historical document of life in the Arctic. Rather it culminates in a criticism of how Western culture dealt a deathblow to the religions and tribal customs of Native Americans.

A companion piece, “Diskomo”, was released in 1980 as a 12-inch single, featuring a remix of the songs backed by a disco beat. Rumor has it that The Residents released the hilariously discoesque “Diskomo” in order to ridicule their own success with Eskimo, fearing that they became too well known and the Theory of Obscurity was in danger. A follow-up EP Diskomo 2000, featuring the original remix, its b-side (”Goosebump”, a collection of children’s songs played on toy musical instruments) and several other versions was released in 2000.

Track listing

  1. “The Walrus Hunt” – 4:01
  2. “Birth” – 4:33
  3. “Arctic Hysteria” – 5:57
  4. “The Angry Angakok” – 5:20
  5. “A Spirit Steals a Child” – 8:44
  6. “The Festival of Death” – 10:26
  • Bonus Tracks (1987 CD release only)
  1. I Left My Heart in San Francisco
  2. Dumbo the Clown (Who Loved Christmas)
  3. Is He Really Bringing Roses? (The Replacement)
  4. Time’s Up

Trivia

The “Inuit” chants on “The Festival of Death” are actually advertising slogans for various products (Coca-Cola, Charmin bathroom tissue, etc).

Blackfoot River (Montana) - mille lacs lake ice fishing

Posted on March 30th, 2008 in Uncategorized by admin

The Blackfoot River, sometimes called the Big Blackfoot River to distinguish it from the Little Blackfoot River, begins in western Montana 10 miles northeast of the town of Lincoln, then flows westward until it enters the Clark Fork River 5 miles east of the city of Missoula at the town of Milltown.
The Blackfoot is renowned for its fly fishing and was the principle fishing location for the book and movie A River Runs Through It. The Blackfoot is a fast, cold river with many deep spots, making it prime habitat for several varieties of trout, and is excellent for canoeing and rafting with rapids up to category 3.

MT Highway 200 runs parallel to the Blackfoot River from McNamara to Milltown. The highway is subject to hazardous driving conditions in the winter, particularly black ice.

The canyon the river lies in and the valleys below were formed by what geologists refer to as Missoula Floods–the result of an enormous break of an ice jam, draining a gigantic lake.
