I stand corrected, Thanks. I have some familiarity with agricultural breeding programs. The fish farm rainbows would be bred and reared for growth but in reality so are the government hatchery fish, ie; the fish in Five Mile. Only thing freakish would be the the highly fertile lake they're in. I'll say one thing for certain, those boys have got the big fish dialed in.

Fish farm singular and if I remember correctly the big release was well over 10 yrs ago. SERM stocked Dief with almost 500,000 RB fry in 2004 and 100,000 fry in 2005, none since.

one word......JESUS!

could be worse

Trust a stillwater guy to set me straight

'K, trips don't grow faster just live longer. Good grazing and time yield some big fish though, SERM planted almost 600,000 RB fry back in 04-05

What do you mean test tube trout? Basically the same genetics that swims in the Bow River or for that matter Bullshead

Picky fish this yr but average size is bigger, even the fish in places with zero footprints are damn picky about what dries they're gonna go for and generally you get only one shot to get it right, that said been slaying some bigguns with soft hacks. Screwed up yr fer sure, caught a spawned out black boot cutty last week, tad late in the yr.

Thanks Guys, spent the day with weldin' equipment and waitin' for Ms. Jolie to show up......... got a lot of weldin' done.

leave it on your dash, then it has a half life of 35 seconds

Nice feesh, helluva fitting tribute to a long life well lived.

Happy Bday Andrew Lotsa outstanding individuals born in September!

I suppose you could call him a 420 flyfisher then.................

Not that confusin' Uber, I'm just a effin' old redneck Alberta cowboy and even I know who and what he's talkin about

It's much much easier to cut to the chase.. tryin' to be an alter-ego paradigm would probably make my head hurt.

There was a relative piggy in that pool, actually made the IR scream a bit

as Max would say.. dope pics dude

Hell Rick that was last week sometime but remember where that white GM was parked when we turned around? same stream

can't be me... I have a tendency to call a dumb **** a dumb **** no matter what

say what??

Yeah OK right

ONCE???? I thought Rick was havin' golfin' flashbacks but on the upside I got to fish with a good guy and learnt to say "This is bullshit" with a credible French accent.
