Taco

Two and a half months huh? I wonder how much "needed" equipment I can buy in that time. Lets see...120 fishin' buddy, force fins, kickboat?...... anyone ever stick a Minn Kota on a super fat cat?

I'm gettin' ready, I got some slime line comin'. Rio Aqualux Lake. Any good? Friggin' lakes

edited; FI, bad idea

.... not so prone to wind drift and not near as lethal as a 12 gauge or 45-70, be an ok deal but never be legal for us canuck commoners

At the rate I lose stuff?.................Na

true but I've seen only one hummer upside down in the ditch. Does that make the average hummer pilot a better driver?

Would that be why I've seen 6 or 8 hondas layin' on their lids long side the highway so far this winter?

Before we go any farther sweetcheeks, you a top or a bottom?

Yes and no; Yes it's an new Alberta record and no it was caught in the reservoir behind the Waterton dam by a guy huntin' big pike. There's a thread in here somewhere but I'm too damn lazy to look for it. I saw pic of the mount, one beeg gawdamned fiss.

Argument could be made that he's listed as a #8

The Ram river fish or at least some of the stockings came from the Elk in BC which is polluted with yellowstone genetics via the Cranbrook hatchery. It could be that the Alberta hatcheries did too because I know of at least southern one population that strikes me as having some characteristics of yellowstones. The Federal Parks also messed around with yellowstones in the past which puts in question any purity of the Parks westslopes. While hybridization with rainbows is a threat, it seems there is a natural water temperature barrier that the cutthroat are surviving behind. The cutts will spawn and live in colder water than what these mongrel wild rainbows typically like. A much greater threat to the native cutts is the vaunted brook trout. Eastern brook trout like colder water too. I personally know of at least 6 former southern cutthroats creeks that now contain nothing but swarms of 5" brookies. BTW; all the fish tested in the L'stone tested pure. Seems to me that the only rainbow genetics found were below the mouth of R'horse but don't quote me on that.

The thing is that there is a high season officer around and the users know it. More than one person that I ran into up there mentioned it to me, guess I look too much like redneck poacher.

He must be feelin' a bit ill today

Helluva fish man, that was probably one of those bigassed Castle River bulls. The big bastards wander all over, even below the dam.

or is hy'q really talkin' the talk or just some flyfishy nonsense

Thanks Harry

How many summer officers did Streamwatch fund in 2010 and in what patrol areas? Anyone know? The website has zero current information and hasn't been updated since 1877

Ever Wonder ... 1. Why the Sun lightens our hair but darkens our skin? 2. Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed? 3. Why don't we ever see the headline: 'Psychic Wins Lottery'? 4. Why do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters? 5. Why do supermarkets make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front? 6. Why is "abbreviated" such a long word? 7. Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"? 8. Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? 9. Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? 10. Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? 11. If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the "terminal"?

Ask over at fiberglassflyrodders, they are heavy into classic blue collar reels like that and like to help

X2 on the Simms. I've had a studded pair for a season now and I like them. However if you're the type that obsesses about forced change then you ain't gonna like them, the grip varies on different type surfaces and is not the same as felt.

Sorry to railroad your thread Rick but to me there's only 2 singer/songwriters who have nailed my Alberta. Corb Lunde and Ol' Ian

Christ yes I know how lucky I am, I done without the material BS so I could be in it and will continue to do so until I tip over.

Ha ha Tim should be on comedy central.

Hey thanks Tim, looks good ... only one problem I can see... where the hell can I come up with 4 1lb stream brookies with the head and tail on?? Most of the streams I know, you catch 4 lbs of brookie you're end up with at least 3 lbs of head.

Come to think of it, bacon wrapped water rat would be good to
