Brownstone

I dunno, his eyes are pretty bloodshot, can he be trusted? nice tie

I seen a couple growing up back on the rock, and there are a *hit LOAD of moose on the rock, not to common to see an albino, cool to see in the summer, stick out like a sore thumb..

To much bleach mom!!!

bah..even sun shines on a dogs ass, somedays

got 'er

checked into last summer through Icefield Helicopers .. don;t remember the numbers but I nearly shat me pants at the cost to pack your gear something like 2 bucks a pound, with a group of 4 and well planned the cost would'nt sting as much .. Glen, I'll consider a hike into one of the southern lakes the summer..

tell them to stick it, go get a quote on the replacement cost in writing to have something to back it up .. insurance is great in case *hit happens but a bastard when *hit does happen

ah..hem... were the last Canadian team to win the cup.. anyways .. yeah very dangerous play, tsk tsk tsk

Pound for pound the best freshwater fight, Biggies rule .. my fav .. NICE FISH as for he/she .. I'd say female lookin at the size .. near damn impossible to tell outside of spawning season

I see a picture of Max, LK, and Frankie at the top - the captions for the other photos (but no pics) and the same picture of the boys at the bottom ..

the design of the Sharkskin is gonna pick up and hold-on to slit and other abrasives much better than a standard line .. how are these things gonna be to clean? you'll have to brush the junk from the grooves inch by inch with a toohbrush or somthing .. I stand by my decision : ah crap I'll probably get one

amen buddy .. foolish drive up # 2

thats right to!! .. I forgot about that, some nice ones to, they stared me in the face all weekend, not much of a drinker anymore though

yeah, he had a couple bottles left I believe, .. but I don't think the bottle will make it back out of Vernon next week .. well maybe the bottle, for the deposit

Whoever is looking for a nice bottle of Scotch go see Gord the The Spey River Company booth at the show today..

yeah it totally works .. so next time you get stuck on the Deerfoot, Crowchild, Macloud, Mcnight, Barlow, Glenmore or can't get service ANYWHERE or get a appointment for ANYTHING .. think of the wonderful Blue Ribbon Bow

I was in the same boat, I hated Calgary, so I moved to a small town .. now I drive into the city to fish .. now that i think about it .. I love Calgary

really? wow ..

oh yes .. change scares the hell out of me too.. Cortland rocks .. IT AIN'T PINK, IT'S PEACH!!!

Yep for sure, looks good, well put together. Dunno if they gained much floor space by moving to Spruce Meadows .. but one can;t argue with free parking..

checked it out today at the show .. Troutfitters booth .. they have a couple rods spooled up ready to chuck if you wanna give it a go .. I didn't get to cast it today, but I rubbed it and you can hear/feel the line passing through your fingers, it feels like some sort of rope, not flyline. Gonna be interesting when long term reviews come out I think.. as for the wear on the guides, I i think it will be harder on guides but .. you gotta lot of hours to fish with a regular line to wear out guides, most people break/replace/retire their rod long before this becomes an issue. You have to look a couple things other than the material from which the line is made also. the woven (for lack of a better word) structure is gonna leave lots of spots for very fine sand/debris to collect to effect the abrasive (not to mention buoyancy) effects of the line. And this super fast line, moving at super fast speeds, well that'll just wear you guides out faster anyway. (if your even gonna be bothered by that sort of thing) .. my 0.02 . . ah crap, I'll probably buy one anyway

I grew up in Bay d'Espoir on the south coast of Newfoundland, Aquaculture is big there, mostly "rainbow" trout .. in the spring the ice would damage some cages and thousands of fish would escape into the wild. Bay d'Espoir is home to one of the largest hydro electric developments in North America, so it makes a prime habitat for fish(ing) .. These farm fish although unable to reproduce, would eat massive amounts of food and grow to ridiculous proportions .. They get into the salmon rivers and be compete with young salmon and sea-run trout for food, and since they were use to being force feed in pens, I'd imagine they had an insatiable appetite. At first people saw it as a blessing these "monster" trout, people would travel from all over the island to have a go at them, and since they were not a native fish .. no regulations .. but as I remember after a couple years of escapes it was hard to hook into a nice sea-run brookie that were so ever popular a few years before...I don;t really know how the situation is now (my experience dates back some 12-15 years) but there were major concerns on how they would effect the rivers long-term .. I now the DFO has a program in place for tracking these fish in Newfoundland and people are to report catching one and recording info .. I believe Aquaculture bears the risk to drastically change natural fish habitat ..

Epoxy, you can even cover the whole eye it it, tough stuff

YELLOW!!!!

Sweet Brookies Snakeman .. cut my teeth on fish like that..now I'm homesick, No mention of the infamous Northern Ontario Black Flies, so we can assume they were not to bad? .. thats all I can remember about fishing trips to Onterrible swarm and swarms of those damn black flies..
