  1. Ive been down there many nights until well past 10..no worries
  2. well done..best laugh i got from Bbjotw so far...rest up well friend .. the trout are waiting
  3. Early morning is just as good as the evening i find..but slows down as the sun comes up..instead of getting better as the night moves in..which makes it hard not to be on the river till well after dark..
  4. 20+ for sure, although somedays I wonder...
  5. Maxed out on fishing gear this season ( according to her anyways ) but bet your baetis, next season I'm gonna see what all the fuss is about...hope santa has room in his sleigh ...
  6. Ive yet to have a guide fish over "my" water, they always seem to give plenty of room, seems that people who know the sport, know the ettiquette and respect each others day fishing...
  7. From my experience..Pike love yellow anything..usually when targeting pike your in still water and want to cast a fairly long line, I'd avoid heavy overweighted streamers as they'll get difficult to cast, if your fishing deep water, a slow sinking leader or line will be the answer. For shallower water I don;t use any weight at all ... don;t forget a mouse and frog imitation, not that they work overly well but it sure is fun watching them pound it on the surface through the weeds...remember to beef up the tippet for the sharp teeth, i use 12 lb and change it often with few incidences...
  8. now your not even trying anymore...I think Bbjotw should have to be fishing related if your going to be sloppy like that... :P
  9. don;t think my V twin can go that fast..thank god
  10. Dave, Wheres the rod holder? Just in case 4 wheels won't get you to the river fast enough...patent pending...
  11. thats brutal, there's no need to crowd or be crowded on the Bow, although it happens a lot more than it should. These guys defiantly have no respect for anybody .. like mentioned above the jackasses will not likely walk very far for the fish..which opens opportunity for the rest of us who are willing to hike to the fish.. bad deal, don;t let it discourage you..I started a thread "fishing and crowds" awhile ago, may get some more opinions out of it ..
  12. I miss those buggers..pound for pound the best fight if you ask me..nice smallies
  13. use good materials and tools...practice practice pratice
  14. no way he taped @ 20.....19 TOPS!!! way to go Dad!!!
  15. Lynn: Betcha did'nt see this coming..
  16. Olands Export is a far superior beer to Black Horse (aka pony piss).. and no not available in the convenience stores in Newfoundland, however I believe some liquor stores stock it..but I believe in buying your beer where you buy everything else so...India Beer is my choice when i'm on the rock..
  17. Ive done it a few times, and really didn;t like doing it, putting a tube down the fishes throat can't be good for it..no matter how careful you are..Ive since given my pump away after packing it for 2 season without using it.... ..some would even call this cheating... just my 0.02
  18. Probably so..but anybody to drink either has somthing seriously wrong with their tongue... give me India or Blue Star ..!!!
  19. There's no doubt that Alberta (not the west) is the place to be right now because of soaring energy prices, can't argue that..and we'll leave it at that...
  20. Thats brutal..lots of people don;t realize that all storm drains go to the river..I know in other cities Ive lived in they have fish painted by the storm drains to remind people..anybody seen this in Calgary...good work Markd
  21. best pics for me this season.. don't get a whole bunch of pics, usally fish alone..
  22. same here, caught a nice Brookie 2-3 lbs by the Highwood confluence a couple years ago.. check this out, blurred the face cause I don;t really know the guy, got this from a friend..was taken in 2005..and I'd say everybody will reconize the location..
  23. I'd like to hear reason 1 through 2542..my guess is you never been out east, like most westerners, don;t hate the east cause Ontario controls the country..
  24. same in Newfoundland for casting a wet fly upstream, not allowed , nothing but a floating line is permitted and you must maintain minimal slack on the swing not allowing your fly to sink, I'd imagine all the regs for fishing Atlantics are handed down by DFO.. H20 - sorry for comparing NS and CB..I know better
