Hi All, I am planning a trip to Ireland in April and was hoping to get a little fishing in. Does anyone have any experience, advice or recommendations? Don't have any fixed plans yet as to where we will be going. Thanks, James

Can we get tee-shirts with that printed on them?

WOP in Inglewood, if your into something a little exotic.

I think you might be pushing the limits on 'Insider Trading'. Just a thought, but I know guys that's been caught. James

And I was worried about the raccoons. hunting and fishing, more competition all the time.

Thanks All, Sounds like we should be able to figure it out. I've heard the big dorsal fin can make a small fish put up a big fight on light tackle. James

Hi All, I'm heading up into the Athabasca watershead next week for some camping and fishing. I have never fished for Grayling before and am hoping someone can give me a few tips. I am guessing that any gear I might need won't be readily available up there. Thanks, James

Fortunately a buddie and me from getting our fishing gear just in time, so we were able to run along the bank just in case. The big problem was the shale slope turns to uber grease when it gets wet. Even the 4 year old lab had problems getting out

A special thank you to the two brothers that helped us out Sept. 25 at Livingston Falls. The partner in crime slipped into the river at the chute below the falls and ended up stranded on a rock in the middle of the river. The Two guys where able to scramble along the cliff face and help her back to shore. a classic case of "all's well that end's well". Thanks, James

Been out a few times lalely. For the most part fish arn't to picky. Dry's in the morning and evening. Lot's of Brookies near 22, and occasional nice brown.

So maybe a nice shore lunch is occasionally acceptable. Especially when the Brookies are hitting non stop. Would have to leave the Cuttie's alone though.

Hi All, I havn't kept a trout in many years, but whenever I tell someone I caught a few they always ask, especially if I was fishing wild water. So looking at the reg's, in this case for a ES2 stream, I am a little confused: June 16 to Aug. 31 – Trout limit 2; Brown Trout over 40 cm; Mountain Whitefish limit 5 over 30 cm; Bait Ban. So the way I read it is I can keep 2 trout other than brown (and bulls) of any size, but any brown must be 40 cm. So brookies and cutties are fair game any size, up to qty 2? Thanks, James

A few years ago I picked up a Snowbee Jr Classic, 5 wt 7ft for fishing the cutty streams. It seemed like a good idea at the time as I could still use my 5 wt reel and line. It turns out it handles very much like a 3 wt, 7.5 ft TFO setup that I was given a couple years later. I now use it a lot, even on the Bow. The shorter lenght produces far less torque on the wrist and arm, and having suffered a badly broken wrist a long time ago it really makes a difference on how long I can keep on casting. James

Ckeck this out. It's what the prof's use when they go fishing. http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Projects/Aquati...rates/index.php James
