LOL.... I told my wife a story I never really told anyone before, becuase I didn't want her to be afraid every time I go into the woods. I got sniffed, yes SNIFFED by a griz once. Kept my cool, though.... however, you know how they say you can get so scared you pee your pants? 'Tis true

I got the book somewhere... NOT in alberta (bought it somewhere while I was trucking). At that point I had NO idea Clive was from Alberta, but once I started looking at the pictures in the book and seeing a lot on shots on my favorite river .... I'd highly reccomend the book as well... it's a great read.

ok man... look forward to it..

Lynn. You've never fished around Nipigon then. You should see the brookies up there. That's god's country for sure..... Though I do agree with you on the southern portion around toronto...

Will you have a car? The lower LOWER lower oldman (Lethbridge) ain't much good unless you like pike, walleye, and goldeye... You gotta hit the Pincher Creek area to start getting into any of the decent fishin..

Brad, what dates? I can make some time bro...

LOLOL uh huh

Possibly a lot of this week.. wanna do some Bull / cutty slammin down here?

Oh, and congrats on the bull, thats a hell of a bull from the ......... err............ river

I know where you are LOL...

............ and trapped or otherwise killed small animals for fly tying materials while there... Reminds me of 3 Texans I guided years ago. I think they drank $1000 worth of liquor alone in 4 days. They were an absolute riot though... I felt like I was in the middle of the blue collar comedy show...

I will be watching this very cloesly. I want to learn to play about as much as anything... so I am in the market for 1) a new or used beginner's guitar... hopefully a fairly nice one, and 2) someone or something to learn from... like a series of tapes, videos, books etc that will teach me the basics... PM me if you can help out..

Gratz on the win! Hope the luck carries over to your next fishing trips!

That is a nice cutty. Max you gotta quit taking pics of no background Just kiddin... lol

I used to visit that site too.............. Now I refer to it as Bonk Alberta.......... If you say something on there in defense of ethics, or in support of maintaining quality fisheries, you get flamed..

That's a trip I've always wanted to do. Go up north and sight fish for hawg pike in the shallows ... can't wait for the pics!

You have to go south a bit farther on #507... you kinda get to the top of the hill as you leave the crowsnest river valley. There is a sign on the right and a road...

wow. those pictures are gorgeous. My favorite is the one with 2 cows watching the show. Awesome!

Did a house in Sundre yesterday and was talking to the guy about Bull trout. He shamefully admitted that in the 50's they would go out west and literally kill a hundred of 'em in a weekend, every year, in sept, from a small stream. I didn't knock him though... we discussed the reasons for there being few bull trout now politely.. lol.. That's why our bulls are so threatened... the accessibility of a lot of the small streams they spawn in... and the fact that other species in BC get targeted a lot more than bull trout do (salmon, etc)

lol

I'd go to the Crandell campgrounds (you can't have a fire in town at your campsite). As far as fishing, it's mostly lakes. I've heard of some fishing to be had at Cameron Lake as well, if you take a pontoon or canoe to the far end and fish the feeder streams. Gorgeous lake as well, sort of a mini lake loiuse,...

That is a great cutthroat.... one of the nicest I've ever seen. Congrats on that beauty!!

My wife bought me an $800 set of irons a few years back so I can't push too hard at the pontoon... And no, my golf game isn't any better... I just look more stylin!!

Dang.... I'd be in for that if I lived up there... full gear.. defense..

Hey if your going to have to suck us in to make us look at your profile at least throw a pic up T.Babe... lol
