Great story! There should be a movie about Slick!

Hey bud, The cascade ponds are full of little brookies. The only time I've caught them was in the evening after 9:00 PM, and all came on small dries. The creek that empties into the ponds is also full of brookies, some of them respectable in size. The river, below bow falls has a few nice fish, I've only tagged smaller fish there though. If your buddy is coming all the way from Germany, I recommend you do a drift on the upper bow with a guide.

This is a very interesting post. The other night while wading slightly downstream of the bearspaw dam, this guy came down and was asking me about technique, flies, etc... After our conversation, I begin to cast a mother of a streamer, and promptly hook some mono line coming from the same guy, who is casting a HUGE len thompson spoon, who is standing about 15 feet behind me on the bank. I look down and see this line running right along my knee! I simply lost it. Something to the effect of "if you hook me, it will get real ugly"! The guy just looked at me, and left! Sometimes, as was said before, you have to "educate" the yahoos yourself.

Very cool! Those sea trout taste good on the barbi? Any other species seen cruising?

Awww crap...I can see the hole in my wallet already!

Tom...pissed off? No, NEVER. He's a good guy though.

Ok, Cool.

That vid looks like single handed 9 foot rod to me.

Ok, Jerk.

Awesome bass. I may have to hit that up next year. Thanks for the info!

Thanks guys, yes, it has been a hot summer. Lots of shade on the creek though, which is perfect for sitting down midstream, and smoking a.....cigarette, yeah, a cigarette.

LOL! Suckers get such a bad rap. I swear they fight better than walleye though!

Awesome post! That is precisely the reason I can even fathom the thought of children in my future. Good on you for getting your kids into nature!

Thanks Dryfly.

Dude! Be realistic! Should they build a fence? Shoot it? How about YOU don't fish there anymore if you're concerned. Your statement is the equivalent of saying "get rid of the bears, dammit, there's people camping in the woods!" I'm sorry for being harsh, but you are OUT OF TOUCH.

Did a little paddling last week up 40 mile creek in Banff, as well as the Bow. Fished a little, but managed only the smallest of the small, in the way of brookies. Saw some cool wildlife and enjoyed gliding along, as it had been a while since I last canooed...how the hell do you spell that anyways? CANNNOOOOOOEEEDDDUD!?

Fished about 6 kms of a small creek on wednesday. It was a ton of fun catching cutties all day, and enjoying the slightly cooler weather (+25 or so with a few clouds). Anyways, most were small, but fun anyways, and I caught the usual respectable fish out of the smallest buckets(about the size of the fish)in a long featureless stretches. Hunted bulls on the way back to the truck, and had an amazing strike on a clouser, but missed em! Here's a few pics to enjoy.

Bhurt, those are some sweet trout.

Gopherboy, please shut up.

Geez...good to hear you are OK. I know it'll happen to me eventually. I've encountered 6 grizz, but I've never once been charged.

Oh no...it killed a deer. A much less threatening cougar order macdonalds or some shite.

Thanks Wongrs. The funny thing is that it is a real old clip. Heres another gooder...YOUR FEET! SSSSSTTT! YOUR FEET! Click here if the movie does not play.

HA HA HA!

Good vis...make sure you take the time to wade the deeeeeeeepest pools possible.

Great fish guys! Those are clearly the biggest fish you've ever caught though....
