excellent pics, loved 'em!

Yeah they were fighting VERY well! gotta love the crow

Those cutts are really dang nice. Almost looks like ya been spending some time in BC. If not those are really good for AB

I should be bitching right now about the fact that Ive made plans this weekend with two members of the board and both of 'em bailed on me without giving me really any warning (notice its 4am)... one went fishing with someone else..., folks if your so spoiled by the bow being right there... that's fine but when someone gets a chance once a month if that to fish it and ya make plans maybe show some balls and show up. end of rant. going fishing.

Great shots. I might of been on the crow same day but didnt see you guys. Dry fly fishing was epic for the last week... but looks like ya did alright with the nymphs too.

Nice pics cheeler

for food: if the service sucks, it's taking too long, our waiter has been paying no attention to our table, etc... I'll just get the heck up and leave, even if we've ordered. I wont pay or tip for crap service (if there's no excuse). if it's a friday night or valentines and every tom dick and harry's at the restuarant and it loks like theres only one waiter I'll go the other way with it and be encouraging and tip well, if he/she is working their azz off. I'm the same way with fishing gear... I dont do it a lot online but every time someone asks for opinions about stuff I own that I like I'll back it up. Islander, TFO, and St Croix are the best cheers.

I second that exact combination

Nice pics max.

Nice shots. did that bear have any young'uns?

Well I'll be willing to bet Cammi made his decision to leave after he saw who was going to continue to be behind him for the next 4 seasons. Who wants to play in front of a goaltender who can't stop the first 5 shots? and was among the worst in the league this year. I guess I can't blame him. I'm sorry to say it guys but as long as we stay with Mikka the cup isnt coming. He had two GREAT years, but that's it. Goalies wash up. He's done...

Please take time to carefully revive your fish if you must fish when it's 70+. I bet there going to have to do some emergency stream closures this year. Price we pay for having almost no runoff.

Not a big fan of his ever. The loss of Farah however...

some awesome pics and fish there cheers

So no one cares that there just going to let cammy go for nothing? Stupid moves .....

Yup you got it right russ. I remember that siggy... cant remember who's it was (wasn't it YOURS?)

You had to stoop to NYMPHS for cutties? shame on ya! LOL - just kidding you do what ya gotta do this time of year

lol ...

Probably avg 16-22 inches. There's a lot more reports of larger fish now than I've ever heard, but I dont know most of the guys catching them though and a lot of them come without pics... studies show only 1 in thousands of fish on the bow is 24 or more. more people need to pack a tape measure methinks most people see a true 24 incher and call it a 27

you can also tell that caddis are about to start for the first time of the year when you smell that "sweet" river smell when you are near it. The first time I smell that I know caddis are less than a week away, and it never fails me.

The bow could maybe use a couple of low runoff years to regfrow them HUGE green weeds that are full of aquatic life / bugs. They help the fish. I've never seen as many fish in the bow as there was between about 1999 and 2003. And the big green weeds were massive. Now this is an unscientific take on the whole thing, but I usually observe and make statements based on actual fact. People think a 10 fish day now is good. Back then I woulda been dissapointed with 10.

I think that's the exact problem. There are a LOT of "secret spots" within a short drive of the big city... and more and more of their names and directions to them seem to be showing up on this forum. And more and more people seem to be going to them. Some people just can't seem to keep their mouths shut about where they were on a post. I love fishing reports, and if it's on a well known river just say the river not exactly where, and if it's on somehting lesser known... SHHHH for pete's sake!!! :$*%&:

That is just simply awesome! LOL 5 stars

The only fish in alberta live in the bow, crow, oldman, livingstone, stuaffer, and red deer rivers. leave all the others ones alone they suck

Sweet Beaver ponds rock!
