    A little over 24 hours for round 1. Float trip is at $325, Jasper trip is at $100 (to fish for big brookies and rainbows in rhe mountains) and Jerky prize package at $30 (a $150 value).

    Item 2:

    A Guided Bow River Float trip donated by Hanson's Outfitters. This is a full day float and lunch will be provided. Trip date on a mutually acceptable date, and you will meet at the "river house" which is right on the Bow on the end of the road past Policeman's flats. This is good for one or two anglers.

     

    Item 3:

    Fishing trip into Maligne Lake in Jasper hosted by Creekside (I've always wanted to do this trip!)

     

    Maligne lake - rainbows and brookies. Most of the brookies will be in the 16-18" range. Rainbows 14" - 22" range. Excellent sight fishing early in the season.

    Trip will be available for only the month of June and the first week of July after that I'll be out of the Province. Any day of the week but preferably mid week (get real busy on the weekends).

    Pick up angler at around 6:00 am. Drive up to Maligne (lots of wildlife) early in the morning. .

    Angler requires own basic gear I'll supply all flies if needed. If they own mini spey or switch rods in the 4-6 line weights they should bring them along, easier to fish then a standard single handed rod.

    Angler will need to provide lunch and beverages.

    Usually back in town around 4:00pm.

     

    Item 4:

    Bow River trip hosted by myself. We can do it as a walk and wade, or float in pontoon boats. I can supply transportation and boats. If the winner chooses the pontoon option we can either self shuttle or split shuttle fees. I will supply lunch. Time and date to be mutually agreed upon, but I might suggest in early July post runoff. Just sayin... What I lack in fishing knowledge I generally more than make up for in unintentional comedy and story telling, whether the winner wants it or not. All kidding aside, if the winner is somewhat new to fishing I do have some knowledge I've stolen from many of the much more accomplished anglers on this board that I can try to pass on.

    Hello everyone,

    I'm thinking of doing another auction for 2016 for my MS Ride. With all that has happened in Calgary this year, including to myself, I thought I would gauge interest. If interested, let me know via comments or pm. If you wish to donate something, also let me know. Thanks!

    I have a pair that I only use for fishing

    3x mags. Only thing I can find that I can still tie on a #20. I even have to have glasses on to take the fly out of a fish's mouth. Yeah, reading glasses glasses sick.

    Actually, I've been bowling since I was like 10. Bowling competitively (yeah, it's a thing) off and on since my late teens. When I was young, there was a major gambling component. I watched my dad walk out with close to $1000 on a regular league night (I was never good enough to win that much because I couldn't bet that much). The community here is smaller than it was in the states, but there is some pretty serious talent in Calgary and Edmonton and a bunch in their 20s. Less gambling though, but a lot of tournaments. Several thousand dollars to winners of some of these.
