It was a snag!! 😋

I love the photo that comes up on the page - guides defying the City of Calgary regulations by not wearing PFDs within City limits!!

Interesting... Usually it's the other way around... As Rogers usually has the crappy cell service, and telus the superior...

I originally thought that as well, but I don't think this area is within the ban...

I know where everyone's going this weekend!!

Lazy journalism!!

Yeah that's what I thought, so is why I wanted to see if anyone can confirm...

Found on the Redneck Board (Alberta Outdoorsmen Forum), can anyone confirm? Hot Weather Leads To Fishing Closures Category: Local News Published: Tuesday, 01 August 2017 04:39 Written by Russell Skeet It may look inviting for a swim, but when it comes to angling the Highwood River is off limits until it cools off. If you plan on doing any fishing in the near future, you're going to need to limit it to area lakes. Just about every river in and around the Foothills, and through a good part of Southwestern Alberta is closed to angling thanks to low water levels and high temperatures. It just makes it too hard on the fish, particularly if you're practicing catch and release. In the immediate area, the Highwood River from it's headwaters all the way to the Bow River is closed, as is the Sheep River, from it's headwaters to where it meets the Highwood. Significant areas of the Bow River are closed as well. Here's the list of area closures: Highwood River from headwaters to Bow River Sheep River from the headwaters to the Highwood River including Gorge Creek and tributaries Oldman River from Highway 22 downstream to Secondary Road 510, river only Willow Creek, main stem and tributaries from Chain Lakes downstream to Pine Coulee Reservoir Diversion Head pond. Bow River from Bearspaw Reservoir to the W.H.D. Weir Bow River from W.H.D Weir to the Carseland Weir Bow River from Carseland Weir to Highway 24 bridge Bow River from Highway 24 bridge downstream to Bassano Dam Elbow River from Glenmore Reservoir to the Bow River confluence Castle River and tributaries downstream of SH 507 to Highway 3, including Screwdriver Creek, Beaver Mines Creek and Mill Creek Pincher Creek and tributaries St. Mary River, downstream of the St. Mary Reservoir and tributaries Belly River, downstream of Secondary Road 800 Threepoint Creek and tributaries Jumpingpound Creek from headwaters to the Bow River Little Red Deer River and tributaries from headwaters downstream to Red Deer River, including Dogpound Creek and tributaries Waterton River and all tributaries upstream of Waterton Reservoir, including Drywood Creek Waterton River downstream of Waterton Reservoir, river only.

At least it will give you warning if someone has broken in... Wouldn't count on a quick response from CPS, but at least it's somewhat of a deterrent...

Probably wouldn't trust a cabbie to do that these days outta Canmore. A lot of sketchy folks in the Bow Valley these days, but call me a cynic!

Yeah I knew that!!

Ahhh!!

Nice Speedmaster!!

Yes I agree unfair to the local retailer, but I bought mine direct though Smith and then they directed me to send them back through a local retailer... Yes unfair, but that is what they wanted!!

Creel cards! Ha! Those haven't been around for years! Just empty metal boxes with pencils these days!!

Last time I had an issue with Smith glasses (my wife's pair) I was directed by Smith to go to a "Local Retailer" (Abominable) to send them in for me... The manager was less then impressed that Smith did this and was very rude (rightly so as I did not purchase them there and was not there to buy anything)... I guess chat with Smith and see what they suggest...

Yikes!! Glad you are ok Tracy!! P
