| Redsand gives a great oppurtunity to fish in Canada
The specifics of fishing in clear water is that fish see well and they rely heavily on sight for feeding. Light penetration and oxygen is deeper, therefore fish are usually are found deeper and fish feed more toward morning and evening or even at night. Fish are more active on cloudy or windy days, because light is diffused and walleyes are less spooked by boats and surface noise. Also, in clear water walleyes school more and usually roam to find food, but if the water is slow to warm and they might be a little lethargic.Rocky reefs are natural ambush points for walleyes, especially during increased wave activity. Anchor upwind and float a leech over the rocks with a slip bobber. Make sure you don't fish too shallow, walleyes sulking in the crevices won't move far for fast moving bait. The owners and operators of Redsand Lake in Northwestern Ontario are Elson and Kim Strickland.
From tapioca to truffles
It appeared on Feb. 4, 1948, not exactly the season for fresh corn. But the six-ingredient recipe was meant to be a budget meal -- World War II was just behind us -- and so we let readers know it was fine to substitute canned for fresh, leftover for just-bought. "The sausages may be purchased for the occasion or be the leftovers from a previous dinner service," the article, written by one Martha Reynolds, assured. "The same is true of the corn -- one cupful of the whole kernel type -- may be canned, quick-frozen or leftover." Today's home cook would surely still appreciate such tips. This month marks the 60th anniversary of the Sun-Times. Fasten your bibs as we look back on six decades of food in Chicago. .

The St. Johns River rolls by the Point La Vista neighborhood of Jacksonville. A debate is growing over whether Central Florida should draw from the river for its future needs. "We're hoping it will translate into more action to make sure the river is protected," says Harold Wilkening of the St. Johns River Water Management District. .
They're off!
The good news is that most of the familiar names will be back in the sulky tonight as the 2008 standardbred racing season opens at Northlands Park. If you're looking for bad news, consider the fact that veteran Bill Davis, Dave Hudon and others who make an annual trek from British Columbia will arrive a little later than usual this year. "We'll have a lot of young horses, especially early in the year," racing secretary Al Bott said yesterday. "About 275 horses have qualified so far. That's down a bit from last spring." One of the late arrivals will be Trust the Artist, who won the Western Canada Pacing Derby with Kelly Hoerdt in the bike last year. The speedster equalled a track record of 1:51 4/5 at Fraser Downs in Vancouver last week. "In a 12-race card, there were more than 20 horses from Alberta," Bott said.
