OK I have to say this...how does a "fishery" become "treasured" when it can reconstructed virtually anywhere suitable by the use of a hatchery truck?

No worries but you made more than a few guys a tad apprehensive

eat'em fresh fish are good for you.

It's Willow above Indian Graves Brian

So to maintain a "quality" brook trout fishery in your mind we should let a naturally evolved unique species die out in one particular stream? Why not, the brook trout have expatriated all the Willow Ck bull trout anyway, just one more stream with no cutthroat that's all. That only makes 9 -10 more streams with no natives that I've personally witnessed... Lobby to turn Cataract into a quality brook trout fishery if you're so inclined, it's historically fish barren above the falls anyway but you're gonna have to siphon about 50% of the brookies out of there if you want to maintain any size........... although it would be a good safe low cost place to stash some pure cutts in case the decline continues, can't just depend on the upper Old Man, Westcastle and Lynx

Christ Peace , you're the one that carps about how poaching is decimating our streams so you tell me what you think will happen if you overharvest 2 out of 3 species of sport fish in a small stream? .Do yourself a favour and read the report on Quirk Creek, its on the TU site.

Talk to Jim Stelfox, he would know. I'll pm you his email addy

Thanks Jim, needed changes. I gonna hafta change my siggy if I pass the test.

Cool ad, I remember listenin' to the original version whilst sittin' in a Versitile 855 goin' round and round n' turnin left. It had the same effect on me then as now.

That rotten bastard, anyone ever met him? Betcha he's a prick in real life too. Willow saw the highest high removal rates at over 1600 going for a ride. It'll be interesting to see if we started to make some room for the other fish and which one starts to predominate.

The wind's a miserable consistent certified bitch, stay away and retire elsewhere

Checked it out enough to know I want a Hobie Cat way worse than the Circa

Jeez Donny, one leg feel a little longer? I was pullin' on it.

Don't know Donny, but did they really hit perfection in materals when they found that Pseudosasa amabilis?? Christ that was a 100 yrs ago. :angel:smail:

One thing about that price... makes my hummin' and hawin' over a pair of Larry Kennney glass rods easier to take.

Thanks Jay, I give it a test run if I get to the expo but I'm guessin' it will be very reminiscent in feel to older model Light Lines and SLTs

Slower than the old LLs?

And I'd run outta fingers to count on just this winter alone, tried shaw phone a couple of yrs ago when they first offered it here and it was a flamin' pain in the ass.

And every time Shaw's internet service has a hiccup your phone service will go south for the duration.... Grass is always greener whilst you're lookin' over the fence.. Ask me how I know.

Not that many.. just BBT and SJW

So Grassy is like the short-lived Racehorse strip mine, never knew that.. thanks for the info.

Yeah most don't realize that there's 6 or 7 (?) coal mines on the Elk system in SE BC. I'm just gonna wait and see what the proposal is on this'n first.

Grassy Mtn's straight north of Blairmore 9k and I wouldn't call it an open pit, more like a mountain top strip mine. Knock the top off and haul away the black *hit. Daisy, Vicary, Gold and Blairmore Ck are all fed from Grassy. They've been visibly assessin' that coal seam for 35yrs, just waitin' to see what gonna happen with this latest go round.

Nice way to start out 2013....dumpin' on people. A proud member of the New Alberta huh?
