They're cutthroat, you don't need a guide go fish the Michelle, you don't need a guide, and the river follows the road...park and fish away

exactly my point or stop taking pictures of every cookie cutter bull trout!

nice fish, but gotta say that i think you should take some fish holding lessons from your daughter..whats with holding the fish like that, all of your bull trout pics this season are like that...why? .....whats with that

they have great warranty, but you'll be using it often.. if you want simms, look at the L2s, they run about 260, and are way better then anything cloudveil offers in waders..

was inevitable, wasn't it?

Heres the question that i'm sure most of you were expecting, as its raging on between friends, fly shop discussions and on the river. The poll is multiple choice Do you think it's ethical to go fish for the rainbows, that are essentially the fish that lead to the existance of such a great river.. Lots of stands on this ones, here are the most common i have heard It's not ethical, they're the creators of the future generations It's Ethical, they're just stacked, not spawning yet Bad Ettiquite galore! Shooting fish in a barrel, wheres the challenge? Who cares, they're just fish Personally, i think that 1 km upstream and downstream needs to be shut from march 15 - may 15. Gives a big open window for the ice to break on the highwood, lets the pre-spawners get big and healthy for the long trip up, and it's not like there aren't a ton of places well away from the highwood that are fishing incredibly well at the same time of year....i also don't like it that it seems to encourage people to barge in on runs later in the year (they did it at the confluence, so it must be standard procedure away from the confluence..).. I know a lot of guys will say 'well, they're just staging' but i figure, when there are days of 30+ anglers there..the fish are not going to be in prime shape going up the highwood.. Lets keep it to a peaceful argument, i just like to know where people stand..can always argue without being assholes, right?
