Hmmmm. I worked in Edson, and coming from BC, I'd say the quad and rig pig problem is bigger than the Livingstone. You're going to need mega enforcement

Voted Islander, but OKUMA is what I really love.

No, I'm from the great white north

Are you guys STILL whining about $20/day. Simple solution, stop following the guides around. There's plenty of water over here that ain't classified. So much that I've never bought a CW license in my life. To stay on topic, I pay $38.52/yr as a resident. When I paid $22.50 to fish in Alberta I was pleasantly surprised.

Hmm the way I've always done it in my limited experience, is to tie a 'leader' of backing to the rear part (with hook), leaving about 3" of 'leader' then securing the 'leader' to the shank of the front hook with tying thread and a bit of cement. Bingo, you have two shanks connected. Seems to work for me.

I'm from BC but I'll throw in some pics from my stay in AB this summer. My first westslope cutty trip. Landed about 20 cutties, and 3 bulls. Brookies from a coalmine area stream
