Oh and I should add, that I bought the korker's this year too, with steel laces thing, and I love them. I find them quite lightweight actually, but that's compared to real cheapo boots that can take a beating that I use to buy every year..

LOL.... how the HECK are ladies like you single? I don't get it. My wife doesn't fish at all. It's sad in one sense ... but... heh... a guys gotta get away from it all every now and then too right?

Yes we do Go SSK!!!

and um... where is it? lol (I should probably know but I never really ever had to go to a campsite a whole lot except racehorse or Livingstone falls)

OK well syncline --- is it nice and treed? More info + how can we book it, and at what cost? sounds like there will be more than enough interest to go ahead with it..

Really cool presentation... I love it.

Hey Clive/Taco... you guys know any good group campisng spot down south we could book then? Looks like people wanna get away from the Bow. Maybe something around Hiawatha would be good (there's a dozen rivers and some lakes within half an hour).. Though, if we fish the Crow... I'll probably have 45 guys following me in the bushes trying not to trip on sticks wearing ninja camo....

They always counted fish back then. Wasn't it 5 fish and 2 loaves of bread?

whatever we come up with I'm down for a hat and T shirt for sure.

OMG he lives @ McKenzie and has 3 kids? That's where I lived in Calgary, must be something in the water

Are we pretty much leaning towards this being NOT on the bow then? would u guys prefer the SW corner with access to livingstone, oldman, crow, castle area? We could always random camp provided we spend the time to clean it up too. and do it properly. I kind of agree on the Non weekend if were going to be anywhere in cutthroat country. Weekends down there are a gong show. Keep the idea flowing. Sounds like at least there's a lot of interest, and I'd be glad to do some arranging on this.

Wow... ya try and invite him fishing and I think he mistook ya.... and got all offended.. simmer down man... simmer down...

Nice pics man! Looks like fun!

True, but for now, this far in advance, lets get one together for somewhere so that everyone can have SIX MONTHS to make arrangements to be there. I started another post for NON competitive campout.

Nice ride. Got a tying bench in it? Can you guys imagine having to fish in alberta "dry only"... would make this a whole lot more challenging wouldn't it..

Why should I respond to something about guide licensing? I don't guide anymore... I've always thought it should happen, everyone knows that. Except you, by your tone. Being a guide isn't about having this and that.... it's about tailoring a trip around someone's needs.. you seem to think a bunch of shiny boats and reels is all you need... maybe we outta worry about licensing allright. make it based around people skills.... weed out people like you I guess...

Wow. Fishhead. You are an ass. Did you ever stop to think that good old Bowcrow took people to reliable spots to teach them HOW to fish the bow river without a boat? And now most of 'em could catch just as many fish as anyone WITH a boat. Go take your boat and your attitude and shove it... as far as Bow river spey. When I got a steep bank behind me, and I can only wade out 5 feet (or not even that) and there are lot's of places like that, the spey can do what a single hander can't. Even when wading I can cover a LOT more water than normal. It's very usefull. Nothing can be bad about covering 50% more water on swinging streamers through deep pools in winter can it? The only thing I can't find it usefull would be for dries. As far as nymphs and streamers, and SHORE fishing becuase not all of us can afford a boat and a jet boat no less, the spey is better than all other single rods as far as covering the whole river, close and far, period. My first time nymphing a winter hole with a spey, with runners on, I fished a mid river seam and pulled about 15-20 fish from it. Fish I wouldn't have reached with any other rod.... in a run I can't see any other way to have gotten to those fish.... from shore. How the hell does having a boat make you a BETTER fisherman? In my opnion, it makes you a worse one.... you can drive right up to the fish instead of having to work for them. I should'nt get in an arguement with this guy.... but he's logic is simply stupid. And he obviously is too high on himself to realize the term "niche market".... and teaching REAL people how to fish not the rich...

Who is interested in a non competitive FFC campout? In July, some weekend? If we get enough interest now, let's book something. Only competitions will be who can consume the most bevvy's around a big campfire. Don't some of you guys play guitar? that'd be cool for around the fire. We could do some fly tying as well. Anyone got portable tying gear? I do... Anyways, who is interested?

Max are you right handed? lol

Well... all I really wanna do is camp and meet everyone. Let's plan a weekend in July. Book it now. That way the people who are in the fishing industry can book it off now (if they really want to come)...

ROFL..... who can cast into a hula hoop at 30 paces ,..... AFTER 6 beer........ !!! lol

Maybe it fell under the following, but if u PM the admin's I'd say you probably could get the OK to post what you had up... I can't see it harming anything... Here's the bit "Do not use the FlyFishCalgary.com forum features to sell or trade articles or services as a business entity.

Daggone, your right, that's no whitefish!!! Good thing you left the spey back home! Look forward to more. Looks like a pretty place for sure.

So no one likes my idea? No offense to u guys spending hours on this "madmax" logo. BUT.... how ya gonna get that on t-shirts that u can tell what it is from more than 2 feet? Just a thought. Plus it's almost gonna have to be a white or light colored T or Hat or whatever for that to work. I dunno bout u guys, but I wear dark clothes most of the time. Most ninja's do..

LOL ya hosers.
