rofl sorry... playing with the new 6 million emoticons!

Protecting that area is a very very good thing!

awesome! is that anywhere near Houston? My brother is actually moving down there, in 2 weeks.. he got a transfer.

How about us truck drivers who have been at the same wage for about 15 years now. 4000 a month used to be damn good money. Now I can't afford to do anything, really, except pay the bills and sit at home. I guess it's a good thing I got that fishing sim game a while ago... might be fishing on Flysim more than on a real river this year...

rofl that's MY word!

Pipes you made my day. Yeah I'll be within an easy drive of Soldotna... matter of fact... I just learned we got another house going up there for late July Man my summer's gonna suck

I will be in Seward, Alaska on June 30th unloading a log home. On July 1st.and possibly a few more days after..... I am free. Anybody know what's kickin and can make some reccomemdations? My preference would be king salmon, but I'll be happy with whatever action is hot. I will be travveling through Anchorage to get to seward, it's out on the Kenai penninsula Need some contacts up there as soon as possible, I leave on the 23rd. thanks a ton!

How bout a province wide bait ban If you need bait to catch fish - any fish - well...... you don't know how to FISH then sorry. I had to lighten this post up a little

awesome stuff.

Well. I'll miss it. Every time we get a couple guys together for some shinny, someone's whistling or humming it... sad...

Do some checking into Buffalo Pound prov park. you'll be happy you did.

AhhhHHHAAAAAA! That explains it!!! My wife is a triploid!!

Looks like you guys had fun.... Tell us the truth... do your hands now look like you were playing with a bag full of razorblades??

Nice pics Max. I love the grayling shots. Epic camera work

It never works there. never use it again. Ever

Orrrrrrrrrrrrr, if the water is still muck, put a black egg sucking leech, about 2 feet under an indicator, and nymph it (might need some split). work it VERY tight to the bank casting up and letting it go right past your feet basically (you should be on shore and not wading I assume). Now when it's at the last of your drift, let it dangle in the current for a few seconds before flip casting it back up again. I've had really good success like this too.

Geez LS, you havent snapped up one of these young studs on this board yet? you must be pretty picky LOL

You forgot to tell us exact locations of each photo Nice pics!

These are the best.

One word. well actually two WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

That's gotta hurt.....

Had I been drinking ANY beverage when stumbling across this topic... It would be all over my monitor by now... Man I needed this after the crap sh*t week I had. Time to go find a lake this weekend.

Agree with Max and Brownstone......... I'd say 95% of all my largest catches in the Bow, have come less than 5 feet from a bank or shore. Especially this time of year. I start (in muddy water) with an indicator and a two nymph rig, one nymph at 1 foot deep, and the other at 2 feet deep, and I fish this one foot or less away from the bank. Basically, when the Bow is at this flow (250+) there's a very small slack edge to it, but if you stay in that, your in the fish. Just one foot or less off the banks, and 2 feet to your deepest nymph. trust me. You'd be suprised to find out whats there! Oh, and that's for MUD water. Once the vis goes to 2-3 feet, go about 5 feet off the bank at a depth of approx 3-5ft...

rofl You let the "ex" .... disrespect you like that? (or the "roommate")..?? I'd be kickin some azzez if I was you....

I second that. I've found lots of brooks in the crow, especially the upper sections. Most are small (less than 6 inch) but some are decent sized (14 inches or so)
