What does everyone think of Pro-lok and Edge oars? I hear they are great but might not be for everyone

Awesome thanks fellas

Am I the only one who can’t find flow rates on the Alberta River app? The water level shows up but nothing else. It just says info unavailable.

The shuttle driver told me the 15th

I’m looking for a 3 piece spare oar, if anyone has anything let me know.

What was wrong with it before? hahaha

Ya I did in Thursday, they said everyone had been using taxis. The cab company knows what’s going on though

great thanks!

Anyone know if there is another shuttle service in Fernie other than Elk River Guiding Company. Their shuttle has been shut down for COVID.

Also are there any social media hashtags regarding this issue?

Are there any established “anti-mine organizations”? Who is everyone writing to? Is there any truth to the mine proposal in the ram river watershed? Someone may have answered it above but it makes me far to depressed and angry to read through the thread. Never thought I’d say I miss Rachel Notley

Think it cost like 200 bucks

There is a fixed jack plate on the market, I did the same thing on my boat a few years ago

Thanks a lot Tom!

I recently won a trout spey rod in a raffle (Redington Hydrogen trout spey 4wt 11-6). I don't know much about it so Im asking if anyone has any info on the appropriate shooting heads and tips to match it. I like to swing big streamers off the bottom and throw indicator rigs and swing the odd soft hackle. I understand the 2 kinds of line (Skagit and Skandi) but am wondering if anyone knows first hand what brands and weights cast best, before I invest a bunch of money in it. I would like to have the versatility of being able to switch between a skagit and scandi shooting head so Im not really interested in a Integrated trout spey line.

Gloomis IMX-pro, I used to use sage exclusively as well but these rods are just as fast and 2/3 the price. I have a 5 and 6 weight and they both cast streamers beautifully

Im looking to find some new water this summer. As most of you know Southern/Central Alberta has become over run, so living in Edmonton the obvious choice would be to go North. I have spent a fair bit of time through the Simmonette and Little Smokey area but am wondering if anyone has done any floats (specifically) on the upper Smokey, Athabasca, or Kakwa river. I have a raft and a drift boat and am always looking for a partner

The increased volume of anglers is annoying, but it’s only going to get worse. You can’t really blame them though, it’s a really fun hobby

My brother and I are taking the boat down to the Bitterroot Valley, Montana the first of April. We have our backup rivers (lower Madison and the Missouri) in case the Bitterroot gets blown out but we are getting excited to fish the first substantial meal of the year (skwalas). Has anyone fished Clark fork or the Bitterroot that time of year? What can I expect?

I’m sorry but this is all just painful. I myself have contributed to the doom and gloom, but someone for the love of god post something positive. This forum is about something we all love and posting our edgy opinions isn’t solving anything, it’s just creating segregation.

Definitely won’t see that happening at the cross iron mills bass pro. The trout have too many bulging tumours to fit in a bass’s mouth

I agree! I think there needs to be more awareness on catch and release coming from Alberta conservation. Lots of people release fish but to them it means exactly that (just throwing the fish back). They just don’t know that holding a fish up right by the gill plate and out of the water for 3 minutes will more than likely kill the fish. Most anglers are guilty of this, myself included but it’s time for a change, how many pictures do you need.

I went to the Alberta Fisheries Public Engagement Meeting in St. Albert last night, and I have to say it was well done all around. I was thinking it was going to be a “torch and pitchfork thing”, but the the format turned out to be be excellent. There was multiple booths with subject matter experts at each one talking on one specific topic. Topics ranging from the decline of the Bow River, whirling disease, the Pembina Grayling program, and bull trout populations. There was also lots about stocking both trout and prairie species, tags systems, and current licensing. Each booth had lots of information about the topic it was presenting and literature to take away. This was good but what I really liked was each one were taking suggestions for solutions of problems our fisheries currently have. Was anyone else there? What did you think?
