e - Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, August 30.2000 This little piggy stayed in Tyrone 9 S 3 by Tim Rypstra They were putting pork on their forks in Tyrone Sunday evening, as the Tyrone United Church held their annual Pork Roast. The cooking team of John VanEyk, Jake Koene and Gordon Tilly (pictured) put about 320 lbs. of pork on the spit of their new homemade BBQ at 7 o'clock Sunday morning and both pigs were done like dinner by the time the BBQ at the Community Centre began at 6:15 p.m. This week Î made two trips to Wilmot Creek at Thm ne Park on Cone. Rd. 4. The first trip was with my friend Darrell Kennedy There were many fish holding in the slow. moving pools. Most of the deep, fish packed area's were difficult to fish in, due to overhanging trees. In the first pool we fished it had about 20 salmon in its' depths. I managed to hook and land a nice sized fish in the 30 pound class. I was very fortunate fortunate to land it because if he made it upstream another another 20 yards I would have lost him in the trees. The salmon made a big mistake by swimming swimming upstream on the shallow shallow side of an island. I was able to walk right up and grab the fish sitting on its side in the rapids. The fish was then released back to the water. Darrell hooked, fought, and landed a 15 plus pound Chinook salmon in a pool accommodating around 75 to 100 fish. ■ The second trip this week was to the same spot but with my brother Adam who plays soccer for the Orono Jr. team. He was the only one to land a fish which was around 24 pounds. We saw many fish in the same areas as the last trip. There were a lot of bites and I hooked fish but they were all lost by line failure. failure. I had a nice little 4 pound rainbow trout on but lost the nice looking fish. If all the salmon steal your lures and hooks head for Barklay's In Oshawa on Bloor Street. They have everything from clothes, camping gear and most important of all endless amount of fishing stuff. They also have a large aquarium with fish in it. So head for Barklay's after a week on the 'water and l'estock that vest - or tackle box.
