There's been no real change in flyline technology in the last 15 years. So everyone is stuck in their ways, and they know what they like. I heard Orvis is coming out with a similar line (could be pure heresay), and I'm willing to bet than inside two years, we'll all be swinging "Sharkskin" for prices less than $75

I would say that's stretching it a bit. Checking a vehicle with out of province plates would make sense, to make sure that everyone knows the rules, after all, they probably aren't too familiar with the area. I don't think anyone would say that's unfair. On the second part, I think enforcement has been stable around here anyway. I normally get 'checked' fishing for salmon around here (DFO fish cops). I use quotes because it's more like this "Hey ****, hows it going? Want to see my licence?" "Nah Kris don't worry I know you got it" "Hand out any fines today?" "Yah, a couple guys snagging up in the canyon" "Well that's typical" "Yeah, it's too bad, the rules aren't hard to follow" "Sure aren't. Good seeing you again **** taker easy" "Good luck!" If I get checked in the summer stream or lake fishing(usually once or twice a summer when I fish easy access spots) it's a CO and they're fairly aggressive (which I like to see), as there's quite a bit of bull trout poaching in the areas I usually fish. Whenever my brain hits the offroad button, I don't see ANYONE, let alone a CO.

Nahhh I'd rather think about the Wildhay, the Berland, the Smokies, the Pembina, the Blackstone, the Rams, the Coalbranch or the McLeod. You can keep your stinky river Jokes I haven't fished the Bow yet, so I'm not qualified to comment

As far as I can tell, noone in Albertistan knows how to drive

Let 'im lurk. I have no fear

Maybe the site should be renamed FlyFishAlberta It was a joke

Get out of the 90s SA lines are the only way to roll

Black billed magpies. I'm not sure if AB has the other kind....

Right on!

Sounds cool too The guys downstream will wonder what the HELL you're doing up there

Go here: FlyBC and do a search for posts by 'jack' All the info you'll need.

Awesome fish! Nipigon is on my list of things to do as well. Someday....

You're suggesting another test and another license for camping? I don't think that would fly very far. This is a very complex problem, that doesn't start and end with random camping.

I'm too poor Talk to me in the summer when someone is paying me

Okuma SLV. Put one on my 3wt. I want one to replace my Ross on my 5wt. You'll never go back.

Wrong Tako This would be the Tako that needs a summer job in fisheries....will be keeping an eye out.

Are you hiring?

Anytime, anywhere!

At least you're willing to admit it

Moves better than marabou? I'm highly skeptical

Pronounce it Tayko. It's a road out my way

There's a barb on that hook

Correct. But you can't call them that anymore. It's offensive The gov't changed the name to "Northern Pikeminnow" Which I think is absurd, because they're not a northern species, they're not a pike, and as you can see, they aren't minnows!

This is going to get confusing

You won't have to pay extra to fish these, I've never fished a CW in my life. An epic day in a provincial park Typical rainbows And the best river of all
