nice pics!

He stole MY MOJO!!!! *I will hunt you down Jared!!* You guys are a quirky bunch, ain't ya?

It's not the officers fault. There's only ONE guy who patrols the entire castle, waterton, belly, st mary's drainages... ALL of it.. PLUS lakes!!!!! The one I am being hard on is our crapheaded government and the inability to manage the resources they have. :$*%&:

Why is it people can't obey regulations? If they are not they are quite simply STEALING from me and you... of our resource. It's no different than going into the store and stealing... and they do it in broad daylight in front of everyone, while telling them to ______ themselves... Idiots.... as usual the lack of enforcement in alberta shines through as a complete non-detterent for law-breakers. DO NOT VOTE PC next election!!!!!

fantastic!!!

I am thinking of hitting it soon myself, when are you coming? I was thinking thursday or friday, so long as no wind is forecast (All I have is a tube)

Increased rain also finds it way into my basement. while I love fishing, doing so in my basement is not my idea of fun. Love live the SUN!!! (tired of rain this year , lol... nice drought eh?)

They need to put those babies in lakes where pike are preying on trout populations! Turn the tide!!! The empire strikes back!!

On the same note, pleas esupport your local crowsnest fly shops too. Crowsnest Angler, and the Crowsnest cafe are both excellent shops. You can grab a nice lunch and a few flies right in Coleman right on hwy 3, or hit Vic Bergman up at the shop near bellevue on hwy 3. BC licenses can be purchsed at the home hardware in blairmore, close to both of those... I kow susn's doesn't sell BC licenses unless things have changed for this year... I think vic's shop actually does. In any case, lets keep these great shops open! Cheers from down south!

another good way to break a slump is to drop me a PM tonight and head for the crowsnest river with me tommorow

well rick if you took that bottle of champagne down to Lynn's you would have an excuse to break out that t-shirt again after your better half found out you took her 100 dollar bottle without askin!! seriously, the best way to bust out of a slump is the "call in sick from work day"... fishing is always great when you take the day off work to do it. Proper steps should be considered. 1) buy the nastiest disgusting cigar you can find 2) light 'er up and INHALE 3) immediately call work... your voice should be sufficiently scratchy enough to pass it off as being sick. 4) go buy some water and halls and whatever else will help your throat now. 5) go fishing. 6) tell no one.

wicked pics steve! as usual.

The instant after that pic the tail slaps me right across the face! LOL.. now THAT's getting your azz kicked... LOL

Your talking about me ain't ya! *puts fists up* ok come on!!!! It was a great day the fish were ON. I got to get my pics together tommorow and stick em up here and in the W&W special post

Amazing that you had time to fish after all those flower shots!

No... I am actually back in school for law enforcement.. done with truckin.. I am guiding for a summer job this year Another place I am thinking of to eat and it's only open one day a week down by beaver mines... they serve amazing steak but I forget what it's called... anyone help me out on that?

Not only can he land fish he can do it while screwing with a camera to boot! no wonder he's got the gangsta face! Nice brown

You wont be too terribly far from coleman for an evening forray into the "Rum Runner".. which has IMHO the pass's best food and best atmosphere.

If you dont scare or suprise a bear odds are it's not going to mess with you. I've had multiple encounters with bears... too many to even count... some at extremely close range (I got sniffed/licked/slobbered on by a griz).. but I still fear moose and cougars more. I have been stalked by cougars twice.. once in the Livingstone river and once out steelhead fishing... and have been treed by a moose once for 2 hours... those 3 incidents were waaaaay more aggresive behaviour from animals than bears normally display I feel like a dork yelling "HEY BEAR!" a lot too on my hikes... but I haven't ran into bears on those hikes. One hike I climbed up about 400ft of steep slope to get a picture of a lake from higher elevation and lo and behold noticed 3 black bears eating berries along the trail I had JUST PASSED through.. so making noise works... and I was doing it!!!....otherwise I may have suprised what looked like mama and 2 cubs.

That was golden

Yeah I agree max those are for sure lake whites, and darn nice ones at that. You get the odd lake white and even lake trout in the bow in the NW for sure. and if it's in the NW it's not the spot I was thinking of... lol. I was thinking of legacy island at the end where the side channel is 200+ feet across... or even the spot up from the MacKinnon launch by about a mile or so along those cliffs.

If alberta would take it's head out of it's azz, you wouldn't have to make that choice. Nice pics!! Better story. Add that to my bucket list (and that one is do-able!)

Bear spray is the best detterent. Other than that.... if one's sniffing you, just pee your pants and that makes them go away (don't ask, use the search function and ye shall find)

well if he doesn't "have the time" to list regs I won't contribute at all... nor do I approve anymore. What... we can get every redneck with bait and a fishing pole to our good trout spots???? then they can say... Oh I didn't know it was C&R and no bait google never said!! Baaaaad idea without regs listings.... veeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry bad stupid actually. :$*%&:

what? no flowers? instead we have to look at a burbot? jeez Boblaw... we've come to expect more... shame shame...
