cold hands: Man up icey guides:mucilin, petroleum jelly..nothing lasts long though.. chemical engineers could engineer a dispensing device..most of the chem Eng. i know can't even mix kool aid you seek a chemist

gross dude..use to fish em out on center Island when I lived in TO .. I'd kiss a whitey before I touched a carp..not much different than a Bow river sucka..

what about # 10 dude ? exception?

En primer lugar una gran queer sol. Raffi ahora? usted debe ser homo, que no hay nada malo con that.but dentro de cada broma es un poco verdad. Sun, your math seems right to me.

no Tiger Trout listed on my license issued in October.

no dude..theres a special salmon season only the elite of the elite know about *got the call Wednesday had to come out here to work for a few weeks

ROFLMFAO.. gotta bug someone..stuck on the east coast pouring rain 60 km winds :$*%&:

He did have a tear in his eye that morning Brian, but then It all got better with a couple nice whities to hand..

there are a population of freshwater shrimp in the Bow . not as abundant as mayflies caddis and such but defiantly a food source, all the ones Ive seen are light in color, tan to transparent.

Great report .. thanks for sharing

hmmmm...there must be a reason..are Tiger trout able to reproduce? could be the reason..

just very recently got a recreational trout culture license ..Im not 100% sure but I believe the only species on my license are Triploid Grass carp, Rainbows,Brookies, Browns and Arctic Char .. I'll ask the better half to have a look at the license when I talk to her, Im on the east coast working ..

*I actually have this on a t-shirt need I remind you a Caper ain;t nothing but a Newfie who couldn't afford the ferry.. and besides I can't be stupid I own 2 Sage fly rods and 2 honda motorcycles...

obviously doesn't own either ... good for you for getting *hit back on track here Birchy...

even if you go though a fly-shop, doesn't mean you'll get a "guide" .. whats your definition of a guide anyway? he/she has to be employed by a fly-shop?..I can tell you this- when it gets busy I know some fly-shops will pay any "gomer" to row customers down the river..many giving the work to the lowest bidder...Is it right? not at all..but thats the way it is..I believe there should be a set standard for guides in Alberta.

LMAO.... I totally agree on the crappy stuff they make these days, my Grandmother has a microwave that has to be better than 25 years old .. I remember when i was a kid she made a big deal out of getting it for christmas because "I'll never use it and it's too expensive" she still uses it today and it's still one of the most powerfull microwave ovens i have ever seen..I'm 31 and have been through about 4-5 myself..

not voting for anybody outta respect for everyone, because over the last two days Ive been contacted by at least half dozen friends wanting me to vote for their baby weather it be through MSN Facebook e-mail and now FFC.. I wish Noah and all the other cutest babies the best of luck..may the cutest baby win..

Just looked through about 50 pictures of fish.. all larger fish 18+ and this is what I noticed. if the fish is lying on its side in the water, most times down turned eye (at least the one that is facing the camera) If the fish is being cradled by hand just barley out of the water, most times down turned but a few blank stares.. If the fish is on it's side out of the water, most lying in a net on the rocks (not proud of this but, some real old pics and Im digging for facts) more blank stares then down turned eyes. got a few snap shots of fish underwater and ALL have blank stares .. but I don;t for one minute buy the hydrostatic pressure theory (just my belief) in a few inches or even a foot of water .. a foot of water will produce 3 kPa - you'll get a larger pressure change from nice to bad weather or vice versa. nowhere near enough pressure to effect the eyes (again my belief). AND..of all the pics I have of Whitefish..ALL have a blank stare regardless of position .. take this for what it is but all i know for sure is I have two rainbows in an aquarium and both have the ghostly stare you could imagine & their eyes move in the socket not unlike ours do, and as far as i can tell..they are very happy fish either or .. handle your fish with care and do everything you can to ensure a safe release..even if it means missing that perfect pose .. who wants a picture of a soon to be dead fish ?

sneakin out in the am for a few hours .. gonna try and make an appearance on my way home..

where did you learn the main channel of the bird sanctury is closed to walking and wading? not saying its a bad idea to have it closed. from the Western Headworks Diversion (W.H.D.) Weir downstream to the Carseland Weir (includes 500 m of the Highwood River) but excluding all waters in the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary (see Inglewood Bird Sanctuary) – Open all year. Apr. 1 to Mar. 31 – Trout limit 1 under 35 cm; All trout over 35 cm must be released; Mountain Whitefish limit 5 over 30 cm; Bait Ban. Inglewood Bird Sanctuary (SE12-24-1-W5) – All waters, including back and side channels within the Bird Sanctuary and not including the main channel of the Bow River – CLOSED.

NAY .. blondie stays less you wanna make it a total sausagefest btw .. where is Tiana these days?

I'm gonna try buddy..hopefully theres a ton of school work to be done by the better half..realize its a 250 km round trip for me to hit Fish Creek as well so thats a factor when you drive a full size pick-up .. but wait maybe she'll lemme use her Jetta? hmmmmmm........
