So I am stuck in Saskatoon for school, I came out here at the beginning of September and I'm going crazy having so many fishless days. I fished the bow almost every day this summer, and to quit cold turkey fishing the bow is harder then quitting cigarettes lol. Anyways does anyone know of any good places to flyfish around Saskatoon? Or even for that matter spin fish, I guess I could dust off the old spinning rod at a chance for some walleye for dinner. I have googled fishing in Saskatoon but you get more guiding and outfitting sites than anything. Are there any good forums such as this to get me started? Even some upland gamebird hunting would be a good way to spend some time away from the books but I don't know where to do that either. Thanks

I use a 8'6 5wt sage RPL, I've never felt like it wasn't enough on the bow, yet it still feels right on the smaller streams.

Was looking at the seasons pictures the other day, stuck in saskatoon for school and missing the bow. So i made a little slide show of this seasons fish. Had a good year for my first one, gotta give lots of credit to this sight for helping learn so fast. slide show of '07 bow river fish

My girlfriend caught this fish last weekend and was asking me what kind it was, her uncle said it was a ling cod but it looks different then ones I have seen. I have never fished in the ocean before but I figured someone here would know.thanks

nice fish, but I think I like the hartford hat even more.....I've still got my old whalers jersey from when I was around 5 or 6 years old.

i'd be in for a hoodie and stickers

Awww, I thought you were going to say the FTR was open. Oh well I guess I'll go get a frosty

haha that's hilarious, he must always be there. I'll try and find the pic it's almost the exact same. It was just begging for a photo....

thanks alot for the advice guys, I am leaving tonight. I think we'll do suzanne and surveyors for sure. I'll post results ...

It looks like I am going to be going camping around koocanusa with some friends this weekend. I have been in the area before but for dirtbiking moreso then fishing. I am just wondering if anyone has fished any of the lakes around there, I know Tie lake and Baynes are supposed to be full of bass so that could be fun. Apparently there is also a lake nearby named suzanne that has large trout but I have never heard anything about it. If anyone has any info about any of these lakes it would be appreciated, I would like to get my girlfriend into a couple fish this weekend and go somewhere where I can have a decent day tossing some flies around. thanks

on a more serious note about the first pic, is that on the indian graves road? I've got almost the same pic of a goat with it's head down a bg hole on that road.

DBT, that's scary stuff. I had a cougar stalk me last fall for a good twenty minutes. It was damn scary, and I had a gun in my hand. The thing is it was in thick bush and I could never get a shot at him if I needed to, I gave a warning shot but that didn't help and I figured I should save the last two shots. I'm sure many people have been stalked and just don't know it, but this one was making a throaty growl, deep breathing sound the whole time. He wanted me to know I was being followed.

whoa scary stuff, good thing you came out unharmed. We had a less scary encounter yesterday at the livingstone, my buddy was fishing around the bend from me and a black bear came from the bushes behind him and crossed the river beside him. It didn't notice him until it had crossed the river, and when he did notice him he stopped and stared for a while but enough yelling sent him on his way.

yeah it really sucks, I'm more pissed off at myself though for leaving it in there. It's my pop's old rod and if I lost it I would be choked. It's a sage 586 RPL 5 weight. Thanks alot for the offer, I'd feel bad taking a loaner from someone I've never met.....but if you're offering.... . I'll bring it in today and see how long it will take.

My truck was broken into last night, and I was an idiot and left my rod in the back seat. THank god it didnt get stolen, but they broke the small sliding glass window in the back and when they slid into the truck my rod tip got snapped. Now I need to know if I can get this fixed, I need it ASAP as I am moving soon and I need to get as much fishing in as possible before I go. Thanks

speaking of poaching on the bow I found a dead gut hooked 23" brown on the bank yesterday with a pickeral rig hanging out of it's mouth btw you're good to stay all night at southland

I was icefishing at upper K this winter and every bull we caught had missing or stubs for fins as well.

Sounds good, and Bobby what team do you play for ? I play for the Honey Browns in Div A.

do you have any idea what day? I could probably get a goalie

I'd be in for sure, I play once a week in a mens league but I'd love to get out some more. centre/forward
