welcome to Calgary. You'll soon leave lake fishing as a distant second preference to all the amazing rivers we have around here... I'd suggest asking for someone from the board to join you on the bow and show you the ropes for a day... most people on here would take a new guy out in a heartbeat. where did you move in from?

Nice healthy looking cutty!

Sundance, I think that actually IS an orca from sea world. Rainbows don't get that big My gosh!! LOLOL Nice work cheers

Not suprising that you can't leave it alone, either. Hi pot, meet kettle. Kettle,... meet Pot. Glad you got a nice introduction to yourself.

And every time he shares that opinion he does it in an extremely degrading way to the person who he is belittling. There is a difference between educating, and trying to make someone look and feel stupid. Sure he has a valid point, it's a point I agree with, leave the freekin' browns alone in the city at this time of year. There ACTUALLY spawning there. Cheers.

Make that a door prize and you'll fill the place..

What a big suprise that Jayjj11 has to come into a thread and try and start something. Woulda never saw that coming.... *sigh* Nice fish.

How can a team that was so bad against florida come out so strong last night against the oil? They played a full 60 minutes, and looked hungry. THATS the team I want to watch!! Not this lazy, crap team that played florida.

haha no kidding I was watching the end of the toronto - pittsburgh game and they were like " oh yeah the difference this year is that toronto would have choked that lead last year, this is a whole new team this time around, blah blah blah..." Meanwhile Pittsburgh DOMINATED the last 15 minutes of play and did everything but get ANY luck around toronto's net. LUCK saved the leafs, not a "whole different team". TSN The Sports Numbskulls.

I haven't seen the flames look that bad in a long time. They were completely useless. What a waste of my time to sit down and watch 2 and a half periods. The sutters HAVE to go. NONE of these guys are playing any system at all... they look like a bad WHL team.

I've seen Eberle's goal about a bizzilion times since he scored it on all kinds of highlights. Ever since I watched those world juniors I have been a huge fan of his. He sure looks good in blue + orange. I'm one of those weird kinda fans that like a few teams... the Oilers and Flames are like my #1 and 2... the 'nucks about my #3. I hope they can all make the big show this year.

Boy it's sure been quiet around THIS water cooler to start the season!!!

Nice shots! Is that a lobster in one of them? LOL

Brilliant!

BBT no need to explain yourself to those who don't read well, or can't actually take the time to read through a thread before posting there damned uneducated opinions as usual on this board.. The ORIGINAL POST that started this thread said this! yes it says BULL trout Hence people adding their bull trout. If this was only for browns and rainbows, there wouldn't be as many 30+'s ...

I am thankful I live in a free country, which allows me to go fishing when I want to, and I am also thankful for another shot at the Bow today. Happy Thanksgiving all! Enjoy that turkey!

Well it's a day late but happy B day Greg. I hope your spending it chasing chrome!!

I was calling for their heads last year As noted, nothing has changed. The sutters do get a good solid effort out of their teams, but combine effort with a bunch of old or untalented players... sorry flames. 10-12th place

*sigh* same old flames. "A" for effort, especially in the second when the game was still undecided, but no talent to bury it.

I'm not into a pissing match with this guy. He's attacking my ONE day of fishing the oldman this year, calling ME a hypocrit, and I am defending my day. I don't back down. What started as an HONEST statement of fact by me has been turned into this *hit show by Giovanee. I can't stand the pot calling the kettle black, so to speak. If he has fished at all this year, he's the pot. and with that... I bid this thread farewell... where is toolman, missinthebow, clive, and others? not posting here, that's for sure. I wonder why.

I understand where you are coming from but.... you don't understand where I am coming from. Thye ONLY good fishing left is where I was, and it's always been that way. Did I catch a single fish over 10 inches? I don't think so. Maybe 1. My beefs with the system are the lower reaches that hold the larger fish. They are overfished, and underpopulated, and I HAVE SPENT ZERO DAYS in the last year on areas I would propose closed. Hypocrisy can also be viewed as someone always complaining about peoples numbers and fishing reports, yet having NEVER posted a report (good or bad) of your own. And look how YOU are exaggerating my initial claim of 300 to 400 based on a possibility stated in ONE thread..... Touche'

some good pics in there for sure but they are so small I can barely see 'em

well it would probably placate the masses who simply can't grasp the truth.

Well preseason means nothing, let's HAVE AT 'ER!!!

So a guy gets out for one stellar day all summer and gets 300 that day, and catches a few throughout the rest of the summer on limited outings. Or the guy who fishes the Bow every day and catches 15, and has his 100 fish days on some streams during the year too, AND has his big bull trout avatar's? (you picked at me Jayhad I am going to pick back... it's human nature) so can we get back on topic ?? or should we degrade this thread into an all out pissing match becuase someone said they had a great and fun day on a stream and a bunch of other people just can't let it be for whatever reason... which I will use some discretion and not bother to post my guesses as to why...I'm not even going to guess.
