No offense to all the Korker lovers, but I hate them. I bought a pair mid-summer last year and they lasted until about October before the soles were gone and the straps ripped off the back. I even tried to Shoe-Goo the soles back onto the bottom of the Korkers, and that only lasted about 2 fishing days. I also found that the Soles on the Korkers were way to thin, and wore out very fast. I just purchased a pair of the Simms Guide Boots at X-mas and they are Pimp! The felt is like 4X thicker, way more slip-resistance and it is anti-microbial so you are less likely to spread invasive species. Although the Simms boots are awesome, they are pretty spendy at just under $300, but I'm guessing they will last at least 3x longer then the previous $100 pair of boots I've owned. Just my 2 cents. OOO yeah, and I agree that Rubber bottom soles are Waaaaay more slippy then felt.

Dump Sutter the GM, Keep the coach. He has decimated our future draft picks for the next two years, with nothing but middle of the pack players to show for it. We will fight for 6th-10th place for the next two years.. then what do we do?

Great Picture!

Detroit has a game-in-hand so the Flames are really in 9th still. Just need the Red Wings to loose a game or two and the flames basically need to run the table.

Lol, Classic.

I heard this song on the radio yesterday... Such a classic (And Napoleon Dynamite). I love the hair and outfits as well..lol Classic 80's

The North platte was ok. I Probably tied into 12-15 fish in two days. Most fish were about 14-17 inches, but we saw a few guys catch a couple monster browns well over 20. The North Platte looks and fishes a lot like the bow, and is better suited for folks with a drift boat.

Just Getting it going again: North Platte:

We got our Chocolate up in Westlock, Alberta. It's about an hour NW of Edmonton. I believe they have 3 different Female labs, and 1 stud. Our Lab is about 2 1/2 years old and she is Very Very smart. I have never used her hunting, but I'm going to try and get her ready for this fall's upcoming bird season. She has the strongest retrieve instinct I have ever seen, and will stop at nothing to bring back whatever you threw right to your feet. But of course I'm biased! If you want more info, I can try and dig up some contact info. I think we paid $500 for her with a health Guarantee and papers.

Where can you rent it? at a fly shop?

Brutal man, sorry to hear about the capes. If your neighbor doesn't pull through with the insurance you could always go to small claims court, seems like a pretty cut and dried case (although I'm no lawyer).

Doh! Stupid Miller. We totally dominated the Americans and we lose, I'm still not sure if i like the idea of playing Luongo either... I'd rather Fleury (you know, the guy who just won a Stanely Cup).

I thought the Canadian mens hockey team played pretty damn good tonight. I like all the young play-makers we have on the team, and what do you know, Iginla with a hat-trick??...nice. Should be a decent game on Thursday against the Swiss, but the real test will come on Saturday night against the USA. I thought Doughty and Getzlaf looked great.

$800???? wow, that's spendy for some stitches and a drain, considering you can have your dog's junk removed under anesthesia and have all shots and medication for under $400!

Geo's the New PHANEUF!

Mark my words.... we WILL make the playoffs. But that's all I'm willing to say.

Freaken Nice HUGE fish! I gotta make my way up to the mountains this summer.

I know I know. They are old, but Iggy still has some fight in him, I like Langkow as a 3 line center, but we definitely need some more speed up front. On a side note, I really like the way Bowmeester was playing last night, almost like there was a huge weight lifted off his shoulders...*cough* Phaneuf *cough*

A few more: Chillin on the Crowsnest: Nice Bullshead Bow: Nice Bow I caught during Runoff on a Bow river Bugger (I know its half in the grass.. sorry)

Here's s few from this fall: Broad Back Chinook: Standing in the Middle of the Morice River: Fallen Timber Brown: Trying my Luck at Wedge Pond for grayling:

Damn sisters...... Stop scoring already! we know that you guys have ESP, you don't have to flaunt it in our faces... I'll admit though, I like Burrows, what other player in the league will score you ~30 goals, 75 points, annoy the crap outta the other team, and kill penaties for what like 2-3 Million (just a guess). I'd like to see him in a flaming C....lol

I think there was a bit of sarcasm in his "post".

We need prospects! Trade for those! not 2 guys in NY that don't even want to play in Calgary. We don't even have a 1st or 2nd round pick this year.. we always trade them away. In 3 years Calgary is going to be totally screwed with aging veterans.

I just read on TSN that the flames may have just traded Jokinen and Prust to the Rangers for Kotalik and Higgins (If this is true, this is a horrible trade, unless sutter is going to just trade some more)

I'm not sure what to think about this. I would have rather taken prospects and maybe 1 or 2 forwards from the leafs, then to pick-up 4 Mediocre players... typical Sutter, going for all the glory and not looking long term. The problem with going for all the glory this year is that even if we squeak into the playoff's, we will probably still have to play San Jose or Chicago in the first round.
