An incredibly thoughtful response. Please read. http://flyfishalberta.com/jensenflyfishing/ram-river-a-response-to-the-angling-mgt-survey/

I posted this poll a couple years ago...I thought it was time to update the list and try it again. Islander & Pfleuger came 1-2 last time. I know I left out a few brands, but 20 choices should be enough for a lifetime. Full disclosure I voted Waterworks.

This weekend!!!

Red Deer Rod & Gun Show, May 7th-8th, 2011 at the Agri-trade Centre on the Westerner Fair Grounds. I will have a booth, selling tons of hunting, camping & fly fishing gear. A mix of old and new. Stop by and say hi. Cheers, NM

Is there a $5.00 coupon available for the Expo as in previous years?

Just wondering if anyone here ever pans for gold on fishing trips. I gather there isn't much to be found in Alberta. I hear the NSR has some gold dust in the gravel bars. I have some old pans of my father's, but never tried it out.

And I did...Just picked up a new 5wt 8'-6 mid flex. The price was a steal.

Riley, The Red Deer River is closed until the 3rd Friday of May.

I'm thinking about picking up one of these wicked sticks. Either the 4wt 8'-6 mid flex or the 6wt 9'-6 tip flex. Anyone have any reviews?

Great stuff. Thanks Dave.

Don, Sorry I couldn't make the meeting. Was there any talk on these issues:? 1. Are the proposed regulation changes for Fall Creek to protect the Bull trout populations going through? 2. Should we introduce more "fly fishing only" stretches to rivers similar to the Maligne in Jasper? Prairie Creek comes to mind. 3. As mentioned by Mcleod, other than the usual Rainbows & Brook trout how about introducing some new trout species to some lakes such as the FLIPPR Tiger trout lakes that are so successful in Manitoba? 4. Any thoughts about stocking Golden trout in some geographically isolated high alpine streams? (I'm dreaming, I know.)

Thank you to the ones who have donated a few items. Additional thanks to Maxwell. Sorry I missed some of you at the show.
