Seeking some HR info for ConocoPhillips. PM if necessary... Thanks, Peter

I ended up going with Tree Frog! They seemed to do a good job (as quoted with good advice that was consistant with what others were saying) and they were the lowest quoted price, as well!! Thanks for your reco! Peter

Did you try using a wire brush with the CLR? If you can use something around the stain so it can pool the CLR so it can sit for a while that might work as well... I've heard coke works, but have never tried it... P

Hey hey!! I was there, as well and deserve credit for its recovery too!! P

Should I find it interesting that I haven't received any negative PMs (or that I've only heard from 2 guides and one shop, for that matter)? Maybe not.

I heard back from one shop. They carry liability insurance for their guides and require 1st aid. One of theirs has swift water rescue but the was from a previous life. Some of their corporate clients require specific certifications in order for them to do business with them and that is quite common for that type of industry. I totally understand what you are saying about waivers. P

No fly shops yet, but one part-time guide (he says has everything except swift water rescue)...

Keep guessing

Sort of

I wouldn 't go if you offered!

Why only if they are paranoid?! Would you hire a ghost cab to drive you to the airport or drive you home from the bar at night?!

Yup already done that (only heard back from one), but would think legitmate guides woud like to advertise these facts... An advantage over the competition, no?! P

Well, no not the actual company Rick works for, but the companies that have pipelines that leak!! P

The shop would, but would the guide (many are independant and contracting through the shop, no?!)?

Jay, I would also think that if a guide is guiding anglers through the city section of the Bow and doesn't require his clients to wear a life jacket/pfd and the client drowns, that the guide would be liable b/c city ordinence requires river users to wear life jackets/pfds?! And good luck collecting on any law suit if the guide doesn't have liability insurance, right.... I'm sure there are a million scenarios... P

I would also think that if a guide was working through a fly shop, the shop would require it for liability (as well as reputation) reasons... But never assume, I guess!!

Seriously, I'm not trying to start anything with this post, I'm just curious... *The caveat being I know there is no legislation/regulation in Alberta related to the fishing guide industry, so technically none are required... How many guides on here (independant, working through a shop [FFC sponsors or otherwise], etc.) have a business license and/or insurance, 1st aid training, swift water rescue, any or all?! Or would you even be willing to answer?! Other then asking, how does one find out?! Or is asking the only way (if so how does one confirm that they actually do)? P P.S. It will be interesting to see if I actually get any responses from any guides (other then quite possibly a few strongly worded PMs)...

For anyone that's interested... http://alberta.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-sp...QAdIdZ386370762

Rick, You can also get the liners (I forget what they are called) that go in between the outside of the tube and inside of the tire to prevent thorns/rocks, etc. from puncturing your tube... They add a little weight to the over all of the tire, but you won't get a flat by that means ever again!! P P.S. Here is one particular brand, but I suspect there are several others... http://mrtuffy.com/

Rob, If I send direct I always try to send it down with someone that I know is going to the States to send it through USPS. Canadapost $30+ to send from up here USPS $5 - $10 from pretty much anywhere in the States! Not a option for everyone I realize, but a good one nonetheless for future reference! P

Yous pays your money, yous takes your chances!!

Contact either Don Anderson the grass guru or Cdone (Colin) the rod builder extraordinaire! Should be pretty straight forward from what I understand. P

We stayed at Echarts tacumseh resort(sp) before and they were decent. http://www.mountainguestranch.com/
