  1. I've lived in plenty of large cities and can honestly say Calgary is the worst I've ever seen for traffic problems in relation to its size (its only a few years ago they got rid of street lights on Deerfoot) ...and as for winter driving "mishaps" hwy # 2 is BRUTAL .. How do you hit the ditch when its flat and straight?
  2. can't give you any stats or such, but given the number of trout I have released and seen released back into the Bow I've never seen a trout with a hook in it's mouth, meaning either hooks decay fairly quickly in a fishes mouth or trout have very little trouble removing hooks from their mouth. Think of all the fish hooked on the bow and busted off, then the number you've seen with hooks still in them...my 0.02
  3. I've lived from the east coast to here and a bunch of places in between, never have I seen so many preventable "accidents"
  4. have to agree..not just with the tire thing but the general "winter" driving habits of Albertans period..there are 10 turns and half a dozen "hills" between Calgary and Edmonton and i can guarentee if the weather was like that the whole way (but not even a flake in Didsbury today) there would be at least 20 cars in the ditch..I've been living in Alberta for 10+ years and driving approx 30-40K/year in all kinds of weather, haven;t hit the ditch once (knock on wood) .. I don;t understand either Birchy
  5. I have one I got off e-bay a few years back..good book..however i find much of the useful info in it is out dated..will check the print date when i get off work..
  6. ..great game last night..don't write the fish off just yet.. Flames in 6
  7. Why its better to wade this time of year ..
  8. have a Sirius, I like it,. comes in handy for sure
  9. you'll be pressing your luck on the Northern Penninsula that time of the summer, the fish usually run fairly early "up the coast" but the last few seasons kinda been against the norm so who knows .. that time of year should be fairly light pressure though, the Humber will be your best bet on the rock..IMO
  10. SOL .. Peggy Lee passed away in '02 ..
  11. and another thing...how come i can;t get me no damn tang?
  12. my in laws live in Big River, about +/- 120 km northwest of PA, you'll be lucky of you get stuck in that area .. plenty of lakes to fish, got plenty of warm water fish and lots of lakes stocked with different species of trout..
  13. I run Korker Streamborns, have trail,felt and studded soles..hard on laces (4 pair in a year +/- 100 outings) studded soles split to pieces @ -15, felt came loose on one late last season, both replaced for free tho .. comfy boots for sure, pretty durable uppers, hardly any marks on mine. Never ever had soles fall off. main things when considering wading boots, traction, comfort, and stealth .. sometimes you have to choose between according to conditions, this is why I use a multisole system
  14. accountant is defiantly the way to go.. no quick tax place.. hire a suit to take care of it, and the fees are tax deductable.
  15. coo..you'll be happy, i have a 590 and love it
  16. LOL .. growing up me a friend searched all most of the summer for a "secret" pond that he and his grandfather had fished, he use to call it papa's pond .. I use to say "so secret papa don't know where it is" Its an on going joke many years later
  17. hint: find product you want .. learn how to find & download it
  18. back ordered ?
  19. pretty much yeah .. not so bad to get use to, just go light on the material and be thankful your not on a #30
  20. nice neat ties, those in a 20-22 ... cha-ching
  21. 8 in the fall winter .. I think they change it to 10 around when daylight savings time comes in ..
  22. try setting your font color to something other than black .. dark blue? good luck
  23. you need a license?
  24. "I couldn't pick up a chick if she had a handle on her back"..pulled that outta nowhere in college when a bogus pick up line failed .. she laughed so hard she had no choice but to bring me back to Burton's Pond..
