Makin's my ass... I don't join Geezerdom for 'nother 3 point 5 yrs
but Don does have a point about lake fissin', I've been ponderin' about upgradin' my Fatcat to a Spratley
Yup, the internet and the fact Alberta has grown by a factor of 3 in the last 25yrs... best get ready for the next 25... probably hit 10 or 12 million.
Two of the biggest Alberta stream cutthroat I caught in the last few yrs came from 49.831377 -114.437373 and 50.034759 -114.429476, 19 and 21 inches respectively.
I ceased to worry about internet hotspottin' the day I caught multiple 16-17-18-19 inch fish right through the middle of random camping hell. TMM it only become an issue if you don't have the built in flexibility to fish somewhere else when you discover someone fishin' "your" starting point or honey hole.
Cripe Mike, I've been known to be a tad gassy at times, I like my burritos with extra refried beans but, methane wise, it ain't all that bad... hell I can eat chimichangas all day long with no problem at all
Early 70's, no idea about today. Nothing will straighten out your short and curly's like a grizzly shot through both shoulders from inside of 40 yds by a guy you've known 4 days. I don't need be in on any more grizzly kills
