Chris,
Yeah that's it...
Does anyone know if it would be SRD, Forestry, AB Parks and recreation areas that would look after this? might be a little easier to go through the department that over sees the area...
P
Look after this? Do you think they will dispatch a crew to clean it up?
-
Did you step in any?
-
So did you clean the mess up?

"Also do they not depend heavly on veiwership and ratings"
If the survival of the CBC was dependant on viewership and ratings the only show that would survive is Hockey Night in Canada!

You can by the stuff in huge bags from a concrete supply company, weighs almost nothing. Don't be such a cheapskate and just buy a new container.

Wouldn't know much about any of this marketing BS but do know this, look at the secondary used market what makers stuff was "good" or not. Used entry level ($2-300) offshore made graphite rods are 50-60 bucks used but used lighter line RPL+s still regularly bring 3 to 400 bucks (450 new) and I just watched a good used but now discontinued Sage 389LL bring $565 usd on evilbay, more than new. Y'all tell me, whats the better maker?
Ya can't beat the old brown sage rods. They have a cult like following.

How can 3 people fish that hole for 1.5 hours?

Generally kids on summer holidays on a long weekend when it is 32c could give a rats ass if you are fishing.
-
Interesting to read this then read the current topics about the hoards of random campers and giving fishing locations on the interweb...

Was asking permission to hunt a property for turkey and had the land owner threaten me - saying he had a gun and if he saw me on his property again he would shoot me. I was fairly convinced that he would though he never showed me the gun. I am sure I left as wide eyed and surprised as his wife looked.
Took the notes - time, date, description and handed it to the police. They gave him a visit and did a formal report - asked if I wanted to press charges - I said no. This rattled me enough to not knock on doors for a couple of weeks. Must say the police treated me better than your RCMP.
I really do not like conflict - things like that ruin not only my day but normally take me a while to shake.
Could not imagine having a gun actually there - crazy.
SW Alberta has a disproportinate ammount of crazy ass landowners. Lots of them think that the land down there was gods gift to THEM. In the above case charges should have definately been laid!

Anyway back on track, only reason im sellin these things is so I can buy a jet boat.
Make sure the jet boat is big enough to load a quad or two on.
-
Does anyone know if in a designated OHV area if it is illegal to drive through the rivers, muskeg, etc?
-
Little doubt it is a coyote.
Their summer coat can be quite red.
-
Exactly, with more people fishing it the hook mortality rate sky rockets. Which is obviously not good.
If you are worried about this then you should sell all your gear.....

My Brother in law just came from NB for a visit and could not believe what he saw on the WC and other places we fished... he was appalled at the destruction.. it was a prime example what is wrong with the whole scene...
In NB now you have to belong to trail clubs and pay to use the trails and there are cops (his words) on the trail to ensure all goes well.. quads and such even sleds must be insured and lic'd and you must obey all the rules stay on trails etc.. there are mud bogging areas etc...
and this from a province that is still about 90% covered in woods and wilderness... too many deaths and too much destruction of environment...
Albertan's approaching us and not knowing a Bow from a Bull, thats right a Bull and a BOW, and telling me he shoots deer in his town IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS TOWN OUT OF SEASON!!! WTF.. he admitted to keeping big BOWS but maybe Bulls now from a no keep zone.. He must have thought that I was from NB also... I kept my kool and educated him and then he would not talk to me any more, was trying to get his name cause there was no Lic plate on the POS quad he was on, he took off at a high rate of speed , more then likely to get rid of trout in his freezer !!!
skinny mullet wearing Red neck pecker head, I apologized to my BIL and tried to tell him that not all are like that.. he said he understood as there are lots in NB still..
Damn there is a long way to go here..
I agree there is a long way to go here. Education and enforcement is the key. We should not ban activities just because fools do not follow the rules. The open camping discussion is a great example. Just because some abuse it we should not ban open camping. We have no problem introducing new laws and regulations, yet we seem to lack the resources to enforce the existing ones....

Quading or 4x4ing into remote areas is bad no matter what the intention. The noise from these vehicles is one of the major reasons they disturb and damage sensitive areas; it is not just the visible damage.
Except for Government services all vehicles should be banned from off-road use in the forestry areas save certain areas such as MacLean <sp creek (an eye-sore of Alberta).
If you can't get there on foot (or mountain bike in some cases), then you can't go.
People that use off-road vehicles to gain access to remote areas are doing damage no matter how careful they are; and there seems to be a correlation between people who use these modes of transportation and people who disrespect the wilderness. And in many cases it is just laziness; walk, hike or bike......it is better for your health and the well-being of all living entities.
I would prefer not to smell exhaust, hear loud engines, and watch overweight beer-guts fly past me while fishing or hiking.
Some fairly grandiose assumptions you make here....
-
I couldn't agree more. Take the time to write Ted Morton and cc your MLA and the MLA of that area, and the area manager and let them know about your observations and what you want to see done with this area.
With no disrespect to the people who post their observations/rants on this and other topics the only way to change things is let the decision makers know how you feel and what you want done.

Just make sure it has a livewell.

Black extendable handle net w/ black rubber bag was left on the east side Douglasdale bank- 500 yards above the foot bridge. Went back 2 hrs later to retrieve and it was gone.... Hoping one of the members here picked it up. 6 pack of beer for the safe return!
Thanks!

Edmonton... Give fishing a try for free on July 11 and 12 and discover the angler in you. On this free fishing weekend, Albertans can fish in any public water body in Alberta that has an open fishing season (not including national parks) without buying a licence.
-
T & A (or public lewdness) is a far cry from public urination, littering, general disrespect both culturally and environmentally (though can certainly be related)!! Two totally different things IMHO... Get with the program!

Well now we know where you stand on boobies.......
-
If these things annoy you to the point of a rant then don't fish the city stretch after 10:00 am. I saw some bare boobies the other afternoon so I will continue to fish in the city.

Beer with fruit juice in it?
Like putting ketchup on a steak- it is just wrong.......

I digress.....
I voted for Vicki too; I am a sucker for a girl that wet wades..
