Put it in your vehicle gas tank (gas vehicle as opposed to diesel - obviously)...

https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/what-is-a-gravel-bed-river-and-why-should-you-care-with-dr-ric-hauer-tickets-27764154333 Join Dr. Ric Hauer a leading expert on wetland and stream ecology. Dr. Hauer has dedicated his 40+ years of research to the holistic understanding of these environments, and will speak to the crucial value of our rivers, streams and wetlands in North American ecosystems, with particular emphasis on the rivers of Alberta, British Columbia and Montana, and how these relate to regional biodiversity and climate change.

And what happens if you aren't home to use said Remington, or if your water pipes burst, or there is a fire??

Considering it's been found outside of Johnson's Lake and found in other areas (b/c of the fish farms)? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/whirling-disease-johnson-lake-1.3842765 An entire lake in Banff National Park may have to be drained of all its trout — or all of its water — to stop a deadly fish parasite from spreading to more waterways. Parks Canada officials are considering these extreme measures for Johnson Lake, where the first Canadian case of whirling disease was detected in August. Deadly fish disease found outside Banff park for 1st time, including trout farm MORE ALBERTA NEWS | Alberta bovine TB investigation extends to Saskatchewan Since then, whirling disease — which targets trout and salmon and causes them to swim in a circular pattern — has been detected in 14 more locations. "Just because of the proximity, there's possibility of birds moving the parasite through ... fish or fecal matter, and also recreational use connecting between the water bodies," said Bill Hunt, the manager of resource conservation with Banff National Park. Hunt said officials are particularly concerned that the disease could eventually infiltrate two more Banff lakes — Minnewanka and Two Jack. 'We do know that removing fish from a water body puts a break in the life cycle of the parasite,' says Bill Hunt with Banff National Park. (File Photo/John Hart/The Associated Press) Draining the lake Hunt said removing the water from Lake Johnson would expose the parasite to colder temperatures. "Evidence suggests that freezing is another way to reduce the prevalence of the parasite," he said. "Whether that is a full dewatering of the lake or a partial dewatering just to remove spores within the shoreline area, these are questions we're looking at right now." Hunt said "oddly enough," it's not that tough to drain a lake. Many construction companies in Alberta that are already doing this for various industrial projects, he said. "It's expensive, and we'd want to make sure there's a reasonable likelihood of a successful outcome."

"We do know that removing fish from a water body puts a break in the lifecycle of the parasite," Hunt said. He said the CFIA would destroy the trout, which are all non-native species that were introduced to Johnson Lake years ago. Hunt said at this point, Parks Canada is just brainstorming ideas and will not take any action until after completing public consultations and an environmental assessment.

Another bonus with MHS... He does have a monitoring service that he uses (Lanvac) - $20/month is what we pay, but you are free to go with whomever you want. I have absolutely no complaints with the monitoring company he uses (they are located in Ontario, but not overseas or in the US). Anytime we have had an alarm activated (very few and all false alarms - all our fault), they instantly called...

PM sent I wanted a hardwired system (b/c we have an uninsulated garage and that kills the batteries and batteries are expensive). I went with Shawn Wideman of Maximum Home Security (independent installer family business) after a recommendation on the Redneck Board! Shawn knows his sh* t! He was the only one that listened to me and even suggested ways I could save money (doing my own digging, etc.) and ways to improve my security (reinforcing doors, etc, and how to do it myself, etc.). He has done a lot of industrial installs (Costco, Victoria Secret and a bunch of retailers in Banff, and much more). He is honest and friendly and I have recommended him to neighbours and they have been equally satisfied. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Shawn @ MHS!! Peter

recently?

Yup!! This!!

Personally, I would use a dedicated sink tip (250 gr) and use non-weighted streamers for your 9' and leave a floating line on your 10' for nymphing and weighted streamers, but that's just me... I know some on here are pretty keen on the Rio versa-tip system... P

I presume a single hand rod? Walk and Wade or from a boat? Fast action, med/fast or moderate action rod?

As an ACMG guide, mountains are my business and I have an EXTREME passion for them, their history, geology and the activities that we participate within... Here is an opportunity that maybe few of you might be interested in... This is a FREE online course U of A is offering in January (I have no affiliation with this course or U of A - I just think this is a great opportunity)... Mountains 101­­ is a broad and integrated overview of the mountain world. This 12-lesson course covers an interdisciplinary field of study focusing on the physical, biological, and human dimensions of mountain places in Alberta, Canada, and around the world. Specifically, we'll study the geological origins of mountains, how they’re built-up and worn-down over time; we’ll learn about their importance for biodiversity and water cycles, globally and locally; we’ll explore their cultural significance to societies around the globe, and how that relationship has evolved over time; and we’ll learn how mountains are used, how they’re protected, and how today they’re experiencing rapid change in a warming climate. At the end of each lesson, Mountains 101 will also provide learners with some smart tricks -- Tech Tips -- to safely enjoy time in the high alpine environment: from how to pick the best footwear for hiking to making smart decisions in avalanche terrain. We’ll be delivering your online lessons from valley bottoms to mountaintops, from museums and labs, to alpine huts and other spectacular alpine sites, and we’ll do so with the help of a whole host of experts. We invite you to join us for this online adventure! The mountains are calling... https://www.coursera.org/learn/mountains-101

Talk to BBT!!

Obviously this guy has no clue! I suspect quite a few do not! Pure laziness (or just don't care). He says he spoke to "Rangers" and they agreed with him that this area was ok? I call BS. This area has been closed for many years and COs have known that!

Be sure to copy the video in case he deletes it!

Are you able to follow up with RAP (?) to see if anything happened?

Al I didn't realize that there were Cowboys wrangling the cattle as well!! I presumed they were free range.

Awesome!! FYI, I do give a FFC discount P

Brookies every chance I get (for obvious reasons on specific sw AB streams, but also, b/c they are sooooo yummy), and (personally) maybe one or 2 Cutties per year from specific high mtn lakes. When guiding, I will check with my clients before hand to see if they are interested in keeping (which will depend on which lake I guide them to - at some of the lakes, the populations need to be thinned out).

Al Did you take any photos or video footage, by chance?

Fixed it for you

When I was a white water guide, we configured the rafts with "beaver boards" http://www.mountainbuzz.com/forums/f45/advice-on-rigging-rear-floor-beaver-board-36096.html

Not sure why the officer was being a pansy!! He needs to issue them fines, which is within his power?!
