Is this thread still going???? Holy Crap! Can't we all just go pike fishing together... I mean... Come on!

Download Google Earth, that's probably the best way to find access points and directions. http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html -Drew

L.L. Bean Rapid River Vest. Huge Pockets, hydration pack, Lots of storage, Lumbar belt for those long days, Built in Fly Pouches, retractors..etc, etc.. http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/se...n&cat4=9963

Now the key is just finding the slow, deep, grassy inside edge.... Good Luck!

Great fish fella's. I'm with SanJuanWorm... Location via PM... LOL Keep the great vids coming, Drew

Might as well stay home, only small fish can be caught during runoff!

I've been listening to Laugh USA the last few outings.. but that's Sirius.

There are bonuses to living on the East central side of the city as well. You can get a 2000 Sq foot house for under $350,000! what a deal! Damn Calgary! time to move OUT of the city. I think I may just be sick and tired of being Land Locked for the past 15 years... I need an Ocean!

I know some truckers use a catheter...

I would say yes, it would affect how you live. If there are kids running through the street all day, dogs barking etc etc then it may not be what you want. If you have friends over later and have a patio party, the neighbors might not be as leaneant with noise, drinking and swearing.. etc. I'm not saying it's a huge issue, just that it is probably a better idea to live in a community that fits your lifestyle.

I would rent first then. Maybe rent inner City for a few months and wait to find out where they will be working. Because if they buy in the SW and end up working in the NE that's about an 1 hour and 10 min drive with traffic. Plus, housing prices will probably dip down again in the Fall, Spring is usually the worst time to buy (although it's much cheaper then last year). My wife and I are D.I.N.K's as well, and there is no way in hell I'd move into the suburb's where every house has 2 kids (No offense intended). So if they plan on staying DINK's, then stay clear of the communities like that... i.e. Tuscany, McKenzie town, Cranston Just my 2 cents. Drew

Awesome info guys. I think I might head out again this weekend and try my luck. I'm gonna keep telling myself "any hesitation.... Hook SET!" I'd consider even a 2 pounder a success! I'll let you know if I have any success. I forgot to ask, I have 30 lb wire leader at the tip... Any chance the pike are leader shy?? I'd guess no, but I really have no idea. Thanks Drew

that thing is HUGE!

Thanks for the encouragement, haven't given up yet! I'll just keep at her. My biggest question is where to start fishing? We were on the west side where the overflow dam comes in, seemed to be about 20 feet deep with a nice drop off. I think next time I'll try there again and maybe a few other spots... but damn.... that wind was freaking ridiculous.

A buddy and me set out to Badger on Tuesday for some Pike fishin for the first time. WE got there around 10:00 and fished until 3:00 with not a single follow. The wind was pretty crazy though, it blew about 60-80 km/h until we couldn't cast anymore. I pretty much tried every streamer and Pike fly I had, but it just wasn't meant to be. I still want to giver another go though, I want to feel the reel screaming in my hand! dammit! Drew

Still Some good Hockey to watch though: Caps/ Pit game 7, Canes/ Bruins right now! I think the Finals will be good and worth watching.

Buzz Kill man! But yes, pay attention!

I remember this cartoon from like 20 years ago.... Makes much more sense now that I can drive! It's Calgary to a tee... Although Toronto might be a little worse.

I say every Man, Women and Child for themselves! Chivalry is Dead. No, but seriously, If I'm going to open doors, lift groceries, etc etc.... for Women then I expect the same help from them; And for the most part I get it.

harsh but true, what can I say. Time to move on I guess.

I forgot to add the the toughest Guy on the Oilers is nick named "Huggy Bear" ... Obviously for his ferocious fighting style!

It's always easy to ridicule a team when the team that YOU cheer for finished in 11th Place in the Conference and 21st overall in the NHL, and when your leading goal scorer had 23 goals and point getter had 66 points. So do us all a favor and start posting your lame comments on the retired, dead, finished Oilers thread! P.S. This is all on the Assumption that your an Oilers Fan.... LOL. Hope I'm not wrong or this rant was for nothing. Drew Nice try Flames, Bye Kennan, and better luck next year!

Bad News. Phaneuf is out for tonights Matchup.

Time to Re-group.

Do you think the Canucks would have won the series with Dan Cloutier in Net?
