Taco

I'm with SilverDoc, sharing is good

I specially like sharin' with others about how big the tomaters get when you fertilize w/brook trout

Have fun and don't let those BowRiverDinks lead you astray city combat fishin' n' dog fightin'. I'll see if I can adjust my work schedule and meet you 3 for part of the upper OM portion of your trip. Take Care

Poachin' is the second oldest profession so I wouldn't be holdin' my breath.

So Lynn..................................................................never mind.

Good cobbler is damn scarce down here anymore and believe me I know about slick rock and studs. There nothing left to sew to on the sole of those old Freestones so I need new boots soon, Streamtread and those star hardbites may work decent enough Thanks

10 x 1/2" hex head sheet metal screws, the ones that look like below.Got them @ Home Depot I believe. Drive them in from the bottom up, I use a little Makita impact driver and sink'm in to the washer. I use 3 in the heel and the rest from mid-arch forward. Have never had them come through and bother my feet. Don't let them wear down too much before putting in fresh screws or they can be a certified bitch to get out I just went out to my truck and looked, I'm using a dozen screws per foot

rich drunk, around these parts it's Lysol

Just don't ever say "horse guy" with a lisp else't I'm stayin' on t'other side of the room from you..............

I'm sure there's different grades of felt but the only reason the felts have lasted as they did on my boots is because I studded them with 15-16 sheetmetal screws per boot at all times. I've never had any luck refelting wading boots

Ah... I'm pretty damn sure Alan2 would disagree but I'm buying the Simms Guide Boots and putting the star hardbites cleats in them because I'm sure they will last based on past experience.

Real Texans wear their boots out from the inside or so I hear or has the Bow turn you soft? and Tungsten...I don't know if I wanna start laying in the Bow, might start growin' titties...

about 14 yrs, 1000 days, original felt soles, probably 150-200 1/2" sheet medal screws, a dozen or so sets of laces, a 5-10 km walk back to the truck not unusual and I make a point of not fishing pussyassed streams like the Bow and it's mongrels. I'd rather follow the hatchery truck.

If you pass the ID test, you qualify for the special management license

not tea bag snijders, not tea bag

Quirk Ck and kill some frickin' brookies.... w/beau coup respect of course

Buy top of the line Simms and replace them every couple of yrs of fishin' days. I own and still use a pair of early Freestones that probably got a 1000 walkin' days

Glad you cleared that up. For awhile there I thought BBT was sneakin' south off the Highwood again.

So how's the box workin' as a hat Peter or is it sized too big??

It's berry time boyz, keep your head up, the bears in the berry patches. I scared the livin' crap out of a little black this mornin' whilst walkin' the dogs, He was busy fillin' his face in a saskatoon patch and didn't see me until I hollered @ him. He kinda shotgunned saskatoon seeds all over his flight path leavin'. Pay attention while you're fishin'!

Well hello Lee! How's it goin'? Aren't those Stewardship Licenses creek specific or do they specify an entire drainage or part of the Province you can harvest in ? I was under the impression they were creek specific and as such never bothered. My usual fishin' grounds doesn't have a brookie problem that I'm aware of. The Castle and the Crow do and the creek I was referring to is in your neck of the woods.

Over here may be better for answers

Whadda think ....them purdy little char that are half head. Don't worry, I turned them all respectfully loose, I couldn't bring myself to chuck'm in the bush but it wouldn't hurt my feelings to bring a couple dozen home for supper

I strongly believe that to truly protect native species in many their remaining watersheds what's needed is a MUST KILL regulation. You catch a invasive or a hybrid you have to by law kill it. I can hear the howls now, " What about the people who can't tell a walleye from an bull trout?" Well, in reality that's just an enforcement issue, more COs on the ground and in all honesty a few dead natives will cause a helluva lot less impact than hordes of brookies, cuttbows, mongrelized rainbows and brown trout will. Whats the answer? I don't know... special license where you have to pass an ID test if you want to fish streams containing native sport fish??? I spent Wednesday fishing a stream that used to have cutthroat and brook trout 10-15 yrs ago. I fished 5 km up the valley and never saw a single frickin' cutt and it pisses me off immensely.
