What Annoyed You Today? (1 Viewer)

The death rate is only 2 percent. The flu kills more people.

I hope im wrong about this but I was looking at the numbers yesterday and something hit me. They seem to be using the present number infected against the total dead to arrive at the 2%. Since it has a 10 day lag from onset of symptoms to death if an individual is so unfortunate seems like the correct numbers would be number infected 10 days ago against the total number deceased.
If so the death rate is more like 7 or 8%. Then add that it's much more contagious and it doesn't look so good.
Again realy hope im wrong about this.

That's the factor that Im using. The total number of infections versus the total number of deaths. The percentage may or may not go up. That remains to be seen.

Took my kid ice fishing today. Spent $70 on bait, equipment and snacks.
Didn't catch a thing, but the bait shop guy caught two suckers!

The more time I spend with people, the more I appreciate dogs. Present company excluded of course!

When we were allowed to use bait I liked to use fresh shrimp, that way me and the fish were always eating. Also, when the beer froze it was time to call it a day

Just out of curiosity what were you fishing for with shrimp? It's a great catfish bait around here( Southern California) but I didn't think there were alot of catfish that far north( maybe I'm wrong though) hence my curiosity.
Also, the great thing about shrimp for bait is if you don't catch anything you can go home and cook up the left over bait for dinner unlike say .........worms for example

Rainbow trout, they love shrimp

Hmmmmmm. Now there's news I can use. Never thought of using shrimp for trout. Got to give that a try.

We would put the shrimp in 3" x 3" squares of mesh and then tie it onto the hook of a "Wedding Band"

Interesting. My favorite set up for trout in streams is just a nightcrawler, either without any weight or a small split shot depending on the current. Toss it upstream and let it drift on past. Very simple but the most effective thing I've tried.......and I think I've tried them all........except shrimp.

I found that 1/2 an ounce of PE4 was quick, no fuss and very effective ............

Did that with Dolly Varden trout and a stick of dynamite. Even though all the trout in the 40'ish pool went belly up for a few moments, it was only the ones right by the explosion that died. The blood line that runs down their spine was smashed. (that'll teach the superintendent of the logging camp to entrust us with the key to the powder mag )

We only did this in one river, middle of October, -10°C to -20, guaranteed to be the first snowfall of the year with enough snow to flatten my dome tent. The rainbow would be spawning and they would come up the river in schools. Drink beer until you see the ripples come around the bend, start casting and fish for about 10-15 minutes until the school passed. Drink beer and wait for the next ripples............a great 3 day outing. Try fishing with a spin caster and wearing skidoo gloves
