I go there to browse and pickup things we use regularly from coffee filters ,to tuna . They need to change the name to the Buck25 Store , not much to buy for a buck now. . I buy suet packs for the birdies & they were $1.25 , now $1.75 , but still the best place to stretch a buck. As I passed by the tools & garden supplies I saw some new fishing stuff, like 7" fishing knives , line , lures ,ect . So I  spotted some Trilene 30# fishing line for $5 . I thought it might be good for big cats or carp ....but when I took it from the package it was very stiff ....maybe should be expe ..read more

Witnessing garbage at fishing spots has long been a source of frustration for me. Several years ago I was inspired by a true fishing ambassador and steward of the environment, I felt compelled to take action. With the support of the Canadian Carp Society, I initiated the CCS LEAVE NO TRACE garbage drive, aiming to raise awareness among our core team and beyond. This initiative was very well received in our community and across all social media.    Trash can lead to closures of our favourite fishing spots. Nobody wants that. It can harm wildlife, pollute waterways, and spoil the beaut ..read more
