  1. Yeah but I heard that truckers don't care and they don't hafta do a Saltamontes :P
  2. Don't worry Weedy, pike do that down south too. You had to watch out when fishin' during the whitefish run on the Old Man, t'weren't nothin' to have a slough shark slam into your legs while chasin' a hooked whitey.... had a tendency to make your balls climb thinkin' about all them sharp teeth.
  3. Old men and limp wrists??? Holy crap......Burrnnn Baby Burn :lol: Not sure how affordable things were back then, average Canadian wage in '49... $1.07/hr, one wage earner per household, 4-5 kids. 2007...$25/hr, 2 wage earners per household, 1-2 kids. If you look at Don's pricelist it took 2 1/2 days of work to buy even the cheapest grass Granger and 10 hrs to buy a $250 TFO plastic today. In 1954 Grizzly fiberglass blanks were selling for between .79 and 1.39 and Wright McGill's (Granger) glass fly rods were priced from $9.95 to $23.95 BTW The first commercial tubular fiberglass rods were developed in 1946 by Shakespeare using WW2 technology, Tonkin cane was banned from importation by the US in '50 and Fenwick brought out the first commercial graphite rods in 1973.
  4. Never seen any Bigfoots (or is it Bigfeet?) but I did see a sleepin' bag stacked two deep and doin' the inch worm once............does that count?????
  5. 34 huh? Isn't that old enough to know better and young enough to do it again??? :D Have a good one David
  6. Can't be an ex-wife..... they're far more in your face
  7. Funny, I fished with one for a day and really liked it but I will say it's not a very forgiving rod....tight compact very quick power stroke and double haul every time. I want one for pitchin' hoppers into a SW Ab breeze (Pincher Creek Style) BTW... who says you can't toss line with a broomstick? Click here if the movie does not play.
  8. So what just out of the shot? A fisherman or a Holstein?
  9. LMAO :P Do more explorin' in Sk, specially around the Dief and those springcreeks south of the TC.
  10. No thanks..........................the last one
  11. Number 10 Life is sexually transmitted. Number 9 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. Number 8 Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich. Number 7 Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks. Number 6 Some people are like a Slinky ... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs. Number 5 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. Number 4 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. Number 3 Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200.00 and a substantial tax cut saves you $0.30? Number 2 In the '60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. AND THE NUMBER 1 THOUGHT FOR 2008: Life is like a jar of jalapeños. What you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow'.
  12. OK I understood the first part but WTF does this phrase mean????? Weedy....Help!!! Frak I'm gettin'old!!
  13. Starting this spring this will be one of the newest hotspots in Southern Alberta 49 00'43.80"N 113 27'23.49"W Curse me for a smartass, I know but the more the merrier on this one
  14. Ya know, I've never caught a bull trout above the falls on Cataract. Paul it's more of an enforcement issue than a poor IDing skill set. What's the fine for hangin' a whitetail tag on a mule deer? Or do they shut down the Whitetail season?
  15. How'bout Nanaimo Bars? I'm a sucker for homemade 'naimo bars...that's why my ass is wider than my shoulders right now..been pigging out on them all durin' the Xmas holidays.
  16. Way to go Matt.....I ordered two tiddies
  17. Done and away! PS; you know whats funny about that brookie thing?...... Provincial and State governments across the west recognize that brookies are highly invasive and all across the western United States, the retention limit limit on brook trout is 10-20-30 with no size limit but in good old Alberta you hafta take a ID test before you can catch enough to make a meal for a family of 4.
  18. Well, the powers that be can edit me and if your sensibilities are easily offended or you are under the age of 18 STOP READING NOW... Because . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ABOUT GNIKCUF TIME!!!!!!! Thanks Paul! :)
  19. There's no doubt it can grow some big fish... looks like I'm gonna have to learn something about stillwater FFing...lookin' forward to it. Thanks adc
  20. Yeah, those Mormons down there are all closet drinkers and/or messed up on crystal meth. If you hear banjo music, run! Wouldn't want anyone to get the Ned Beatty :P
