agreed with smitty. sweet fish dude. who would have thought posting what is most likely the best fish of your year would have stired so much. im jealous.

ok well you win. those cutties are bigger looking now. i will give it to yah. and the bullie looks a lot bigger now that it is off your camera lcd screen. wish i was there. looked like you could have used a camera guy.

if that doesnt mke you wanna get out, then nothin does nice job

in my opinioni think it is ludacris to get annoyed at guides for tking all of the hot spots. they were there first, they earned it. here is my thinking, if it was not a guide at the hotspot it would be you. what makes you from being the jerk with the hot spot now? there is lots of water on the bow, and yes there is hot spots but the fish do reside all over the place andare catchable. besides everyone is always nagging about how there is no solitude out there, well explore other spots rather than prime locations and you will finally get that solitude. thats my 2 cents

haha i have seen bigfoot. he was hidden on my kokanee bottle.

last i heard there was no more renting alowed for hikers, it was just for the quests now. that is a trip i have been hoping to do for a couple years now so if anyone wants to hook up i am in

unfortunatly no. he was a bit of a bleeder so iwanted to get him back in as quick as possible so he could make it another day.

so i was out prospecting new waters on saturday on a small little southern alberta creek and i hooked into the wierdest fish ever. it was really wormlike almost like a dollie or bull would be, but it was definatly a rainbow. it was not anything like a rainbow shape and has a really really blunt nose. it was slimy as well. i know there are buls in this creek. does anyone know if the bulls and bows are able to cross, it really seemed to me that it was a cross. i also caught a sweet brown that was at least 20''

checkedit out on my gps program and it says they are all lac cote. hope that helps you out. seems like it is just 4 tiny lakes that were given the same name. kind of like picklejar lakes.

hey thanks a lot i guess i have some searching to do to find a tip top that matches the design. does this effect the strength at all? it seems like it would become a stress point.

does anybody repair graphite rods? i have an old rod passed down from my father that means a lot to me and my brother in law accidentally broke it. it is a 2 piece rod and the last 6 inches or so is broken into smitherines. is this possible to be fixed at all. any help would be much appreciated. nick

simple yet effective. nice

pretty sweet. i have a version similar to that one. nice and simple arent they.

looks like a nice but rough adventure. nice pics

i am jealous

personally i do not fillet trout. they have such small bones you will be eating a ton of them or just wasting a lot of meat. i throw em on the bbq wrapped in tin foil with a bit of lemon juice squeezed all around and mybey a wedge or 2 in the stomach cavity. then cook til it flakes. then i like to open up the foil for a few minutes to cook it so it slightly crispens it up. just so i is not really soggy from all of the moisture. for other fish to fillet them i start by cutting just behind the gill from top to bottom and thn continue to slice along the bakbone until i hit the depth of the rib cage. do that for the length of the fish and then as you pull up on the meat you simply just scrape your knife along the ribcage until you can take that side of meat off. repeat for the other side. then to scale them you put it on a board scales down and hold on to the tail area. put your blade at a 45 and just simply cut the scales off in one big slice by working the knife back and forth.

i second that notion

i have seen a couple out here in the last few years. they are in the long grass really hard to see if youdo not look close enought.lots of em in ontario as well

i always try to set that hook up mysef but that sure is a slick little set up

i think might just have to get that black plague everyone is talkin about.

sweeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now i wanna get out there. THANKS A LOT MAX

i would suggest just grabbing one of those road reel combos with the line already set on it for a newbie. they are ususally affordable and work decent. if you are planning on fishing calgary and area definatly i would suggest a set of waders. they vary in price, from obsene to afordable. that would get you out there and what i would do is, most outfitters offer a smll flybox with assorted flies for the area. if you do not go that way i would really suggest heading to a fly shop and talking with them on set up, flies, teqnique etc. if you would like a littel more info feel free to pm me.

right on thanks a lot

how does one go abouts downsizing photos to put on the site? i have been trying to figure it out for some time and no luck and i would love to start posting my pics

sweet stuff
