Moss ... Moss... Moss!!!! Well... ok it was only one game but hey... maybe some of the kids are gonna break through this year. I love the new look flames... I dont think we have any coasters on the team this year and I look forward to a team that gives 100% every shift, every game. I think they got a legit chance of making it to the post season... and when you get there anything can happen.

Also Missing. One green #10 wooly bugger. last seen in the jaws of an amazingly large fish at Police Lake. I'd say there are a few pushing 25 in there, this one sure was. Suprised the crap outta me. Reward offered : (fishing at Police is reward enough )

Wicked Good Joke Thursday
Hawgstoppah replied to LynnF's topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
He's an old man and he sh*ts his pants, and pees his pants, and ... umm.. I guess he has other issues too... Ok here's one. A guy's mother in law is very very sick... He takes her to the hospital and a few hours later the doctor comes out and says... I got some bad news and some good news... which do you want first? The guy says "gimme the bad news" So the doc says... your mother in law is really sick and will need constant care in your home... she will live for at least another 10 years... but your going to have to feed her, and oh one more this this condition will leave her paralyzed from the neck down so your going to have to wheel her around in a wheelchair, and ... unfortunately, your also going to have to change her, and take care of her .. umm... bathroom visits... for her... The guy, in horror, looks up at the doctor.... sooo... whats the good news? The doc says... "Ha!! I'm just kiddin... she died!" -

Guess The Fishies Weight Game
Hawgstoppah replied to SamIam's topic in General Chat - Fishing Related
38-39lbs... somewhere in there. -
I fish several different colors of san juans. Some are (much) better than red. *grin* Blue isn't very good, though I have gotten fish on, blue, green, purple, brown, black, white (yes white), orange, yellow, and combinations thereof. A sweet combo is red / brown wire wrapped in tandem (one rib is red next one brown etc) or I've even tied #2's in red and added the worms "throax" in brown. Those work very well also.

Hawgstoppah replied to OneMoreLastCast's topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
I try and stay away from any posts that get nasty (except people laying fish on rocks... SOMEONE's gotta be the "fish on rocks police"... I have lately been adding a few opinions here and there on heated topics. There seems to be more and more of them. Let's get back to some fish pics and reports. Becuase TROLLING isn't fly fishing. -

Ok so someone paints 40 bright orange dowels.... 20 inches long. Team A and Team B must have a digital photo of each fish longer than 2 inches. Most fish at or over 20 inches wins... the prize? The losing team has to cook (bbq) and clean up, the supper No other prizes. Random team draw, once team A and B have been set up, you can form fishing "groups" and depart for the day. There would be a set return time... at which time the BBQ and some stories could be shared (and maybe a silent auction) This way it's FUN and not too competitive. Maybe ONE random draw prize at the BBQ... and the rest is a silent auction. Entry would be like $25 bucks... Just throwing ideas out here.

It can be done! The biggest bull trout I've ever even seen let alone hooked took my streamer which I had basically emtied a bottle of floatant onto. It was a huge 8 inch long lefty's deceiver (unweighted, thank god) and a bull was seen to eat a dead fish off the top just prior. I had two chances at the fish and second try I hooked it. It was probably the closest thing I've seen to 40 inches of trout - in alberta. Never did land it but my buddy (who's tagged bulls and studied 'em) thinks it was near or better than 40. So come on Greg. You only need to fish on the surface, for alberta's biggest trout... oh almost forgot to mention, one fly only! Left handed casting only, from downstream quartering across, the tobacco pipe MUST be out the RIGHT side of your mouth.... no exceptions.

Wow.... I'll never get that 20 minutes of my life back.......... :$*%&: Great thread.... not Fly fishing is what you want it to be so long as your within the regs. I personally like the options alberta gives you in the fact that you can (if your SMART) tie 3 nymphs on and much more quickly find out exactly what the fish are keying on. Once that's accomplished, I usually go back to 2, one for weight and one for food. I guess our boy here Orvis has : - never "trolled" from his pontoon boat in a lake (that wouldn't be fly fishing) - never nymphed with any weight or sp[litshots at all, ever - never fished a streamer - never fished spey or two handers - never cast blindly - EVER - to the water without first sighting a RISING fish. Quite simply boring if you ask me.
