Link too bothersome?

or maybe not so much http://mountainlegacy.ca/

The so-called rant on the internet achieved what I was aiming for, the pot has been stirred, the right people started paying attention, interpersonal communication is happening and changes (or not) are being discussed. It also helps when the person doin' the rantin' really doesn't give a good gawdamn what the internet anonymous thinks.

Lets just say I've talked to the former executive and they have confirmed my suspicions... I'm done

No thanks, I'll just continue to make a small difference my way with no hidden bullshit agendas

This^^^ and I woulda been far more blunt

I extremely dislike the current direction of the OM chapter of TUC and the anti development no middle ground attitude. I hereby disassociate myself from anything to do with the Old Man River Chapter of Trout Unlimited Canada. I may also revoke my membership in the National if nothing is done about the current Chapter policy of alienating any and all resource industries.

Judging by the Featherlight ferrules that's a very early Fenwick blank. Can't help you with the Calgary maker but you can learn more about fenwicks over on fiberglassflyrodders.com. Quite a group of Fenwick fanatics over there, I'm more of a Phillipson glass man myself.

The earlier Fenwick/Grizzly blanks sold to custom rod builders and the public were all yellow whereas the Fenwick factory built rods were fenwick brown. Later on all the blanks sold were brown. - Could I see a picture of the ferrules please?

Who knows? I was in Wholesale Lethbridge this mornin' and there was a supervisor with a whole group of staff trottin' faithfully behind him around discussin' what I assumed was a major rearrangement of the various displays. Sounded more like another prime example of UFA's top down management to me. The young guy in fishin' department was helpful as hell though. and said they had a pile of tying stock comin' in next week.

Christ I had to wiki Obfuscation.....

I have had a pair of G3s w/hardbites for 3 1/2 yrs now and I walk a minimum of a 70km/yr. Just had a look at them and they're likely good for a couple more yrs but I should replace the hardbites

I only do it because I'm an a sshole, read enough BS to piss me off and really don't give a **** what the pinheads think. Right cranky? Is that you lad?

but it is kinda fun puttin' the resident peckerwoods on the defensive

I saw pictures yrs ago of a 7'er that was caught at the Blackfoot Crossing of the Old Man back in the 30's

Ordered a Regal Majestic today.... I was still tyin' on an old Thompson vise. Tell me I didn't waste my money.

DeeOhGee . . . . . . . . Oh you said fishin' related, never mind.

Typical bureaucratic overreaction. I'd expand on tallieho's take, no ice fishing on any aerated waters

I see I'm gonna hafta re-implant another tracking device...... Best I can say is that I caught a couple 20"ers outta Dragon

Calgary-Caraway- Whitefish is the quickest and shortest by about 50km over the Roosville crossing route Edit... I lied, 40km rather than fity

And time to wack the bejesus outta spawnin' brookies if you have your stewardship license

We've got a garlic chive plant..singular. Gardening and yard work/remodellin' cuts into my fishin' time

because this foul mouthed guy from the center right thinks that ezra levant is one reason that right wing politics is so divided in Alberta that we are likely to have a 2 or 3 term NDP government if Notley is at all a competent leader. I love how the hard right boys bitch and moan about how left wing the media in Canada is and then take the slanted BS that comes outta Ezra's self serving mind and mouth as gospel. Prime damn reason I voted Anything But.
