ram river! screw the lakes
-
I bought the white river waders for a trip up in Northern BC last fall. They lasted 5 days, then the foot started leaking like a sieve. But I got all my money back when i returned them. I only bought them b/c my William Joseph's were still in the mail, but it was really a bummer as I had to cut my trip 1 day short because the leak was so bad (AND THAT WATER IS COLD!!!).

Did you say they replaced the fan clutch? Usually when your car overheats when your stationary its the fan clutch, but I'm not sure why it would overheat when driving at higher speeds. Maybe 420 is right, maybe it's your water pump.

Picked up a Pieroway 7wt 13'6" E-series Spey rod for some steelheading this season, pretty stoked about it! Really nice to see a few familiar faces at the show as well.

As much as I'd like to be a biotch and continue to harass Brad on his spelling, I have one.
So....in my neighbourhood they've recently installed (within the last day or so) a new "No U Turn" sign where everybody and their brother has been making U-Turns for the last bazillion years or so. No problem - city did it for safety reasons, maybe a close call, someone got hurt, accident...whatever...totally justified. What I have a problem with is a police cruiser sitting there and catching the unfortunate souls who do not see the sign, and who have been doing this for years without even so much as a week or two grace for folks to see it and get used to it. Now, by and large, generally speaking and on the whole, I respect the CPS and appreciate what a tough job they sign up for. But this is ****ING ridiculous, unfair and nothing but a big ****ing cash cow plain and simple. Makes me sick.
And, no, I didn't get caught.
If you can't see the sign, then you shouldn't be driving. I'm guessing the people that got the ticket won't make a U-turn there again. Just my $0.02.

I really like my 80L MEC pack. Great price (~200), quality and very comfortable.

www.justin.tv also has the games.

FYI, and totally off topic, but Stamkos already has 2 goals and 2 assists in the 2nd period in the game vs. Philly, giving him 34 pts and 18 goals over 19 games. My bet is the Iggy won't eclipse the 18 goal mark this season, and nobody would trade for a guy with 10 points who is -7 with a 7 million dollar contract.

Thanks for the info. Got to voice my displeasure.

I've never owned winter tires in my life and I've never had a problem driving in the winter. I even commuted to Red Deer daily for 2 winters and never had any trouble. I'm sure the traction is better, but A/T's with M&S rating have always been just fine. I'm sticking with Tungsten on this one.

Agreed you can't fix stupid,but all seasons work just fine for me with 4x4.If all you got is rear wheel drive then yes you need winter tires.
Braking should never be a problem,go slow leave lots of room.

Awesome!!!!....How were the battles with them there steel??...Get to see lotsa backing??
Yeah, saw the backing more then a few times. I accidentally hooked a ~35-40lb chinook in the Copper and I thought that was the last I was gonna see of my buddies 7/8 weight..lol. I would say at least 1/2 the steelhead peel into your backing on the initial explosion and run. I think my heart rate jumped from 60 bpm to about 150 bmp every time I hooked one. I had one huge steelie hooked up and he literally tail-walked across the entire river before spitting the hook, I must have used a few swear words after losing that guy.
Best of luck Riley, I know they got a lot of rain over the past week, so hopefully you will hit the rivers with perfect timing.

Looks like you had a great trip man, congrats, sweet pics!! I know exactly where the "great run" is, lol, I fished it a few times last year!!
Yeah, It isn't much of a secret or anything...lol. Most people don't fish up that high anyway which is kinda nice (Got 3 outta there in 25 mins)

Thanks guys, It was simply an amazing time. I wish I could go back already! One of these days i'll move up there, you can count on it.

Trip wouldn't be complete with a few Grizzly photo's:
This guy came out of the bush about 100 feet downstream from where i was fishing on the same side of the river, I don't think my heart ever raced so hard in my life. Luckily he glanced at me, but then proceeded to ignore me and catch salmon.
Took me 15 mins to land this guy, what a fight.
Morice Steelhead are quite a bit smaller (and darker), although I did land a few larger ones.
Great Run
Last Steel of the trip, and smallest!
By by Smithers!
Thanks to everyone who gave me a few words of wisdom, obviously it helped out a lot! Thanks to Dennyd for letting me borrow his Buella 7/8 switch rod, sweet stick.
Until next year Skeena Country!

Spent the last week fishing up near Terrace and Smithers and had one heck of a trip. Last year I was up there I only hooked 1 steelhead, lets just say this year was quite a bit different. The weather was spectacular, and the water was gin clear (and very low), but that didn't seem to effect the fishing to much. Like other have said on this site, I stayed away from the Kispiox and Babine because both were very very low. Here are a few highlights/ fish from the trip (Please note the fish were only out of the water a few seconds while taking photo's).
First Steelhead of the Trip
An assortment of arsenal
This Steelie had a massive scar near his tail, probably an eagle attack?
Ahh Fall
A brute!
very fresh steelie
Crisp morning

The Wholesale in Edmonton is totally run-down compared to the Calgary store. I found the exact same thing Bigtoad found, deplorable service in every department. Do I ever hate this city! no offense Edmontonians!
