Hi I am coming over to Calgary on 16th July for 6 days then to the Crow for 5 days and back to Calgary 27 - 3rd Aug. If you are still looking for a boat share then I would be interested. Mike

Thanks Mate I am arriving on the 16th July and will contact you prior to that. Cheers Mike

Hi Mate. Thanks for the advice, I also rarely if ever kill a fish. Far to precious. Just returned from a 10 day trip on the Scottish Hebridean Lochs. 83 Browns biggest 3 pounds, was magnificent. Have already booked for all of next June. Regards Mike

Hi A 2 or 3 hour hike through bush is definitely not a favorite especially as with only 3 weeks fishing I am unlikely to be needing to seek out those hard places to get to. Mike

Hi Mate. Forgive my ignorance, I forget how big a State Alberta is ( I am from Wales ). I will be based in Calgary, will have a 4wd and willing to drive wherever necessary. Wish to wade fish for trout, and my trophy fish days are over. Experienced, but not so keen on long hikes or bush bashing. Advice would be humbly accepted. Mike

I checked Amazon, look at Nachako post, and Ebay. Nothing much below $500. Mike

Hi Mate Got that book, very, very good. I will most certainly contact you nearer the date. Thanks Mike

Coming over mid July for 3 weeks and would like to fish the Eastern mountain streams. Which maps showing access and any other useful info should I look for. Seen the famous book on Trunk Rd but am put off by the $500 price tag. Any advice appreciated

Hi Mate You will find me sleeping on your doorstep. Just my kind of fishing. See you in July Mike

Hi Mate Go to NZ 3 times a year so very aware of the need for cleaning your gear. Dydimo is ruining some of the finest rivers in NZ. Problem is that we do that but the boats go from waterway to waterway, and of course waterfowl carry it around with them. However that is no reason for us to be lax. Thanks Mate Mike

Hi Gorseinon, between Swansea and Llanelli. Thanks for the welcome. We have got them surrounded. Mike

Hi Mate From Gorseinon ( Swansea ) originally. Now live in Thailand. Will contact you near the and perhaps we can meet up for a few drinks. Mike

Hi Murray Cheers mate I will most certainly contact you and unashamedly pick your brains Mike

Hi All My name is Mike and as is clear from my User name am from Wales ( currently living in Thailand ) I am a trout fishing addict having had trips this year to Chile Patagonia, New Zealand ( done about 10 times ) Tasmania and most recently Montana. Will be coming to Southern Alberta , for 3 weeks arriving mid July and will base myself in Calgary. Two reasons for posting. Firstly obviously I seek as much advice on the Fly fishing in that area, but also to assist any other members who may be going to any of the areas I mentioned where I could hand over maps, books and usual booklets picked up along the way. Also I should add Uk and Ireland both of which I have fished extensively. I know how difficult, and expensive it is to get info, thus my offer. Got the Jim MClennan book, it was how I got the forum site. Cannot wait for July Tight lines Welshmike
