Werd. Same here. Stay left! Stay left!

Creeks. I fell in love with the Pembina, Lovett, L Smoky, N Raven, Blackstone etc last summer. I need more AB small stuff!!! It's all lake fishing here. I'm a stream and river guy. Technical casting, tight lies, branches, small fish, big fish crammed in small holes. Looooove it. "Riser. Onethirty outside seam under the willers, takem" as my buddy says

Yeah, fish are in a depressed state in the winter. Whether it be Bullshead, the Bow, the North Sask or Dragon Lake. Fish are more susceptible to hooking mortality in the winter. The majority of icefishermen are your typical redneck joes. They have poor fish handling. Poor fish handling + weaker fish = more dead fish. Cheers

Your reply is exactly what will keep those forum members from posting their fishing location tomorrow And people wonder why we have gear fly bait jetboat icefishing debates. Tako out

As an aside, you may be looking at a later opener to avoid this situation. Our trophy lakes do not open until May 1. You might be looking at an April 15 opener next year to err on the caution side.

So what's the difference between using bait and treble barbs on open water vs icefishing. Same rule, different water state? LOL. No difference between dropping a fish on the ice or in the mud. I'd make the case that mud is worse for a fish than ice. You're talking about poachers, not legal icefishermen. Would I be down there tomorrow with a corkie and a leech and an auger? Damn right, and so will a lot on this board that don't have the balls to say it and take the heat.

ACA commercial in the background....lmao.....Cutty beer = baaad.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BEAUTY! Make me one!

We cut some kitty tracks but the pic is of some wolf tracks. Was pretty cool. A pack of about 5-6 had been through there a couple days ago, and we cut the track of a big sonofagun lobo wolf. Lots of critters out there.

Max if you get a woman I'm canceling. I need you to be ON THA BALL!! Kickin set of pics man, looks like a wackload of bows, not as many browns?

OK so it's a brown. But we can pretend it's a bull

I could lend my Optio to the cause Just lemme know

This is wicked footage

That list shows plenty of reasons to spend MORE money there. I can see the Y2Y initiative, the ACA plover initiative, FMF GBear research, UofA wolf study and I barely skimmed it. I do see some Sierra club in there, but hell, if your money is going to support the ACA, FMF AND Y2Y, spend away!

Spiffed up with some footage. Click here if the movie does not play.

Well we tried to go fishing again today DAMMIT I'm getting tired of winter. We found some open water, less than we expected. You guys should be freekin happy you don't have to put up with this!! ^%#%*(^$##!!! GO AWAY WINTER!! No fish porn here. I tagged a couple whiteys, but there weren't many fish around. Give it a couple weeks yet Here's what we were up against after a 2km hike through the backwoods I was standing mid-channel when I took this. Frozen solid almost all the way across.

Freaking AWESOME!

Don't waste your time. We tried the Willow today and she was wall to wall ice, essentially. We did fish some decent water, but the fish are still in the deep deep deep holes.

Touched one up for ya. Nice fish

That was 2004. I would tell you to stop living in the past but I'm STILL pissed @ the DJ that didn't play stompin tom one more time in the 7th game in 94. That guy better hope I never find out who he is. On a positive note, go oilers go

I'm with ya there.

Not bad hey?

Ugh. Do I have to?

Easy on a broke student's budget
