Don't get me wrong this is my favourite place on the web, however I wonder what could be done to improve it? To get things going it would be nice to have a really chat section, where people talk back and forth in really time in stead of waiting around....Thoughts?

If they bane it in the regs I'll of course respect the regs and be in support. On the other hand you'll probably see me there come spring unless something changes.

I'm with you on Halle Berry....Actually Demi Moore together Halle might be a good build...

Fishing the Bow with Demi Moore when she was 25 during hopper season...A case of beer beside us...John Denver playing in the background...Top that!!

Truely bent....

I like it. If fact I might scam it....

You think thats cool you should see my wife coming home on the deerfoot....

I don't think you should compare fish with a grizzly. For example, no one would argue that an insect life has equal value to a trout. A reasonable person understands there is a difference between an insect and a fish in terms of mental capacity, ability to reproduce quickly, longevity etc. By the same token you can't compare a bear to a fish. Nor should you compare a bear to a person.

Damn you might be right! Make that a bottle of scotch and a case of beer. By that point I'll be in a coma....

Ok I say she's a 15 beer girl. Make that 17 with my glasses....

I feel really bad on the very rare occasion I feel I've harmed a fish. I've just don't get the fun in killing for killing sake.

ouch....thanks

Forgive my ignorance what is MILF?

You can't compare the two. A fish has the brain the size of a pea. There are thousands of fish per KM in the Bow. Most fly fisherman respect the fish and do thier best not to harm the fish unless they plan to eat it. Not many people eat bears.

So to open a new topic...how do people feel about banning polar and grizzly hunting in Canada? A disgusting blood sport of deprived knuckle draggers or legitimate sport?

Why would anyone want to kill a Grizzly? What a shame.

I agree dipping works when its not too cold.

Agreed. You do need a chemist not an engineer, although I think I can handle the cool-aid...Tried most of the suggestions so far. Guess I have to pick ice for the next few months....

I was thinking of this Friday but a bit concerned with getting up and down the hill at Mac if there is snow/ice. Has anyone tried it laterly? Is Lousie still running?

Thanks again to all that sent me the stone fly pics. Here are some of the patterns I've come up with.

I carry three sets of nyoprenes and one set of regular ski gloves. After fishing for a while when the nyoprenes get cold and ice up I switch to a fresh pair. The ski gloves are for the walk back to the truck. If someone has any suggestions to keep ice forming on your rod I'd like to hear them. The commercial products don't work very well....

I fished there a while back. I hate it. Broke my spey rod and lost a ton of streamers. However I found a great place just out of Ft. Mc. Caught some really cool huge fish that were sucking back dead ducks. Didn't have any eyes. Weird. PS. watch out for security gaurds...

Great idea. thanks

Correct...The fact is that some areas are definitely better than others on the Bow and while there are no truely secrets spots there are areas that get alot less preasure than others. After walking/floating the river a few dozen times you start to know the river. While I'm more than willing to share such info with friends and the people I fish with, I'd hate to see all such spots broadcast over the net. If you are new to the Bow spend some time and get to know the river first hand, meet some friends and do your homework. Bottom line is post what you like , however don't complain when you can't find descent spot without a line up...

So nice of you to post. Fortunately, I know the area well and still have a few in the region in my pocket for now at least...
