Lakes in the Parks haven't been stocked for years. 1988?? ish...The fish in Johnson Lake are naturally reproducing, wild trout.

I have the Riversheds with Vibram which I got late in the season but they are very comfortable and I was impressed overall with the vibram sole. However, the first pair I got only lasted a day on the Ram when I noticed the vibram sole peeling off the boot near the toe. I immediately contacted Simms and they had me send the boots in. I'll admit it was very inconvenient being that these boots were only a day old, however the customer service was exceptional from Simms. I had a brand new replacement within a couple weeks. The only issue I have is I paid good money for these boots and during my "repair process" I was contacted by the regional rep (out of Vancouver I believe) who mentioned he has seen this problem occur a few times. He said it appears to be a design defect, however I was assurred the soles would not peel past the stitching that holds the sole to the bottom of the boot. Anybody else have an issue like this? I have heard very good things about this boot, hence why I decided to buy them.

I noticed a while back London Drugs had it advestised in their flyer for $329.99. That was the cheapest I've ever seen it. Not sure if that price would still apply however.

I too have a Canon powershot d10 that I bought the day it came out in May. Best camera I've ever owned. Crisp pics, great durability (girlfriend dropped it out of her coat pocket on rocks) and awesome waterproof capability. I paid $399 for mine but I assume they have dropped in price somewhat. My previous camera was the Pentax Optio W30 and this Canon has it beat hands down! Simply awesome!

I was just watching the show last night on WFN, Phil Rowley was hosting on the Bow...awesome show! Funny thing is I said the exact thing last night.

This is my setup. I recently purchased this desk of kijiji and find it works great as a tying table. I particularly like the "tiered" shelves which help to keep my material organized and out of the way when I'm tying. I store all my material in small rubbermaid drawers on the top shelf.

I was in Banff for the Aug. Long and stopped in at Wapiti sports in Canmore. The girl at the counter said there were some "good sized brookies" in Moraine as well. She said she constantly had customers coming in asking why nobody ever fished Moraine as they could often see "big fish" cruising the shoreline.

Yes, I work as a law enforcement officer... First of all, it is unlikely the ticket will be thrown out because your middle name was used as your last name. Your "carbon copy" simply states the charge, most likely - Make U-Turn Unsafely S.29(1) of the Traffic Safety Act but does not contain the critical information that the officer retains for prosecution in court. This would include the "officer's notes" portion of the ticket containing your License plate number, Driver's license number (which can be corresponded to your correct name, picture, address etc for proper identification in court), current weather and road conditions, amount of vehicle/pedestrian traffic, etc. Basically information to support the charge. Also, if the officer realizes his mistake he has 6 months to re-serve you that ticket with your correct information so no discrepancy exists. If you decide to fight the ticket you can contact the Crown Prosecutor's office and request "full disclosure" in which they will provide you with a copy of the "Officer's Notes" for your defense in court. My advice to you is fight the ticket! Many times the crown will reduce the charge simply for showing up. Hope this helps...

I love this line. I have used it for a year and a half, cleaned it with the SA cleaning pad and flyline dressing and have had zero problems. It casts and floats like a dream. I do agree, it is slightly abrasive on your finger, especially when attempting a hookset, however that is a minor detail in my opinion as it comes nowhere close to "sawing off a digit." I have yet to find a better shooting/high floating line.

Its awesome! I bought it when it first came out about a month ago. Its a beautiful, I came from a Pentax Optio w30 which was good but started to deteriorate over time. Pic quality, focusing speed, user friendliness are awesome on the canon.

I have a Fishpond "Wasatch" which never leaves me scrambling for gear. It is a vest/backpack combo complete with hydration bladder for those long hot days out on the stream. It has great storage pockets and easily accomodates my dry, nymph, streamer boxes (4 in total) as well as the backpack for sandwiches, extra spools, etc, etc. This vest was not cheap but Fishpond makes quality gear IMO and you get what you pay for.

I had the W30 (previous model) that did the same thing. Very annoying.
