Hawgstoppah

Hpe they can find something to fling a fly in over there.

LOL... yeah that would tend to take a little fight out of 'em

Beedhead, Im dissapointed in you. Your pictures do not show enough background to allow me to go chase that fine specimen this week Im gonna be around the crow all week I hope I see a brown of that size above the falls! awesome pics. I had some time this week I woulda joined you ya bum. Had an epic day on it last tues (or wed or thurs cant remember now Im gettin old)

Kinda like everyone fishing the bow in the heat of summer on a low water year when the temps 70F or greater, and then calling the people who go fishing at the mouth of the highwood in the spring "unethical"?? LOLOL **sorry, slap me now***

I got mine from the guys on this board When I sold my old guiding company my handle was "bowcrow" which I had been building for 7 or 8 years a rep with that name (and today the company carries on actually). But after I sold it I figured sometimes I am a pretty opinionated guy and the new owner might not want some of the smartass things I say being associated with his company, so I asked the forum, whats a good new nickname for me? Hawgstoppah was the result, becuase #1 - I liked it, #2 - it was the best one suggested, and #3... I used to catch a lot of big fish on a eeerily regular basis according to the fine folks here. I still do now, I just don't post them anymore... to much gripin and moaning on here these days, plus... I didn't buy the FFC tape measures when they came out so all mine are 23's and 24's not 27's and 28's like y'all seem to think your catchin!

awesome

Though, to be fair, either side sensationalizes THEIR opinions!

Rickr. I base my statement of the above, on fact, from a good friend of mine, who has been involved in many such "studies". cheers.

I LIKE CAKE! thought this post has degenrated to that point and suprised no one has come in with the "I like cake" yet On a more serious note: c'mon guys you gonna beleive the big oilfeild companies research? They hire guys to do this and only pay 'em if they get the results they want to see... or no "bonus" for you! Give it a break. I'll take the non profit org's research anyday. Oil is a neccessary evil. Until you all stop driving cars and start walking everywhere you go, and stop buying your food from the grocery stores and grow it in your garden (trucks and farm tractors need fuel too), we NEED OIL. wish there were beter and less harmfull ways to produce it though!

schweeeeet

Nice shots

Young rainbow all the way. There a dime a dozen like that in the crow right now (the 6-10 inchers)

You think this gov't we have gives a rats ass about the environment? Go have a look at the destruction around all our public forestry reserves created by ATV's and offroading, and that's not even putting money in the gov't coffers' They don't give a *hit about ablerta, let alone sask... sad ain't it?

I'll take a guess and say fortress. Have no clue though, the location your at is one that I havent been there judging by the pics .....look really nice!

Epic! Post of the year award right here!!!

Max. If it interests you... I have caught 2 small browns above the falls, both in the last 3 years. both about 8 inches.

Nice pics! Make those calls even if your 2 days late man. Tell 'em where + how much evidence of bait fishing you saw.

Cool stuff! Love the little crowsnest browns, there not that purty IMHO until they get big. One of my very first few fish on the crow was an absolute hawg brown that could have gone on any magazine cover it was so pretty Matter of fact it's still the only brown over 20" I've ever landed on the crow. Love the pics tho looks like there eating terrestrials pretty good

Had the same thing happen in our place, there was a underground nest in there somewhere... what I did was all of what you tried to no success... until I poured BOILING water down the hole they lived at, in the winter. Prob could have opned that puppy up and made some of those really neat ice cubes with bees in them, never saw them again!

LOL... that's awesome.

That private bridge does not exist max. It was only a figment of yer imagination. Now get off my stream How was it for ya? been slammin them this year on there. great pics of all else. Love the "narrow road steep cliffs sign" that road aint all that bad, try driving to the wiggy she's way worse. I did blow a tire on that road this year when they graded it though! rocks are sharp! cheers.

Nice shots. I also love the crow. If I had one place to call my favorite in alberta, the crow it would be

That's what it's all about right there

LOL I love that last one!!! "Lemme outta here!! see ya!"

driving up on saturday from cadrston to calgary there was no gas until I got to Okotoks. I think the 7-11 in claresholm MAY have had some, but there's always huge lineups and a pile of people at it regardless... it kinda looked lke the nozzles were covered and people were just parking there to grab snacks. So quite possibly on saturday, cardston, ft mcleod, nanton, claresholm, all had no gas. good thing I filled up in lethbridge on friday... gas was hard to find there even. hit 7 stops before finding a station with gas friday night.
