This is a great site. I hear you can even win prizes here

how awesome would that be......

That's awesome RabbiEE. Only in the last couple of years have I figured it out the way you wrote it. Prior to that I was on a mission to prove I could catch fish by whichever means I could. Now I could care less. As my husband says - it's called fishing for a reason, not catching. Catching fish is just a bonus. And that's so true. I actually walked a stream last Saturday without a rod and had a hand in teaching some new fly fishers and my youngest son how to catch a trout on a fly. It was probably the single most rewarding day I've had on stream so far. And I saw some scenery that I hadn't seen in the dozens of times I'd been there before. Look forward to reading more of your stuff!

Good going Dave. As someone who is living with someone who is giving up Backwoods cold turkey and on day #9, I can sympathize how hard this must be for you. You're over the hump now - it takes 21 days to make and break a habit. You're in the clear.

This is all great information guys - exactly what I was after. Thanks very much!

Only one of the many I'm afraid

That's dandy! Glad you had a good time. That's what Mike said when he got back from Sask last week - couldn't keep the pike off the line long enough to catch a laker. I love your sunset pics - I'm such a sucker for sunset on a lake

I'm gonna play that song for my 13 year old tonight. In about 3 minutes he can learn all of life's lessons. Catchy tune

It's not like I don't hit that intersection on the way into and from work each day either. Duh. It truly is the biggest CF I've ever seen in my life. Except for Deerfoot and Bow Bottom/Anderson. Ick. I need a traffic rant thread now. Time to go write something on my Facebook.

I see yer back from Saskabush...how was your trip?

Been kicking around the idea of getting satellite radio for the weekends at the trailer (the country station in Lethbridge doesn't cut it for me). I don't know much about it so trying to get educated. Found out alot so far, but have 2 questions that I need answers to. 1) Is it portable? We have 2 vehicles - one is a company truck and one is a leased vehicle, so I don't want anything permanent that I can't take with me when these vehicles get traded in. 2) What is the best one? XM or Sirius? Or is it the same now? And where is the best place to buy it from?

Lynn, you have probably been close if you fish the racehorse area often enough, just that the bears saw you first and avoided you. Trust me....I know that to be the absolute truth. In fact I swear my dog has seen more than one that I haven't.......

I used to think brookies were the prettiest fish to be caught. After seeing these pics, I might have to change my mind. Cutthroat sure are beautiful in the sw streams....even during spawn. Nice pics.

That's a beautiful shot Clive....very nice. I know where you were....I know where you were

I'll probably regret asking this Taco...but was does CF stand for? This will be a great venue Chris....I might actually go to one now!

I wonder if those guys are single........

Brian, I seriously have every hair on my body standing on end right now. If that ever happened to me I swear to God I wouldn't live to tell the story. I don't know how you remained that calm yet kept casting (wow...is that the sign of a die-hard fisherman or what?!) but kudos to you for keeping your wits about you. So....do you fish in Depends now?

Hey Rick...what kinda trailer ya gettin'? And may I say that I am just so HAPPY to see everyone having babies on here!

Hit a campground there DBT...none of that *hit going on where there's a hosted site.

Hey Mr. B...how was the fissin' this past week?

hahaha....sorry to be such a smartass

Okay...I'm done laughing now Brian. Now I want the whole story on that one - sounds fascinating if not terrifying!

We don't usually fish the long weekends either. But I think this one will be different......

ONLY 7 months pregnant. Only a guy could use that word in that sentence.

wow......very nice! I know where you were too...... Too bad you didn't get a pic of the one that spit up that cutty DBT. Betcha he was a monster.
