yeah Bud, we haven't fished together for quite sometime. we should make an effort to get out. I'll PM you in august.

Good article find Toolman. Thanks I hope the aquifers get topped up a bit this june.

I fish at night often. I will not wade at night, all my fishing is from the shore. I typically only roll cast using the rig to load my rod, basically a single hand spey cast poorly done. I fish very heavy leaders to prevent having to re-tie. As Toolman said they are really easy to catch at night.

if you are still looking for one, I've got a blue carlisle I'm going to unload. never been in the oar lock $200.00

Hey All, I am ordering a new set of sticks from sawyer this week. The shipping isn't great and if anyone else was thinking of buying a set perhaps we can have them group shipped to save some cash. If you are thinking of buying a new set lets talk.

So how many of you are making your shopping lists now that your portfolio is cresting the outer atmosphere while on to the moon. I'm looking at another jet boat, something in a 17-19' with camping/cooking capabilities, perhaps a supercharged 6ltr with no exhaust. just need a little more growth before cutting the $110,000 cheque. Any of you playing with the cryptos? I started fairly small in the new year and I have exceeded any expectations.

it makes a difference has to be a vented as the welder can get Zinc metal poisoning aka metal fume fever. They'll let you know though

This is a very good point, we've all seen what can happen to a small creek when fish are taken from said creek.... it takes years to recover. We could set up groups that hit water bodies with the sole intention of bonking.... I'm sure we all can revert to our less couth days. A few well intentioned, proficient anglers could really whack away at these fish.... Silver Doctor, where do you want us to start? Man I have early childhood memories of stacking steelhead into garbage bags on the vedder, perhaps I can relive that, haha.

I don't have personal experience but I roll with some goofs that only fish walleye on some tour thing. They both use Livescope and when both of them got the systems last year neither could stop freaking out about how awesome the views are. One even said like you, almost too good. I understand the system isn't even close to cheap. I'd like to hear more from others.

Monger, wouldn't said fish farm be responsible for the clean up if they are in fact guilty of fish the dump?

could you get the same material and just use an appropriate adhesive? I don't know myself as I have little experience with rafts. Possibly the costs involved makes this a moot point.

Hey Bcubed, I haven't looked at the "towers" in real life but in looking at the pictures from outcast, those towers would be a very easy build for a fabricator, use a base of .500 UHMW..... now finding a fabricator in AB that will build anything not industry based is tough.

Oh Sparkplug, the solution is already in place. When it all hits the fan us tax payers will here to foot the bill. I can't determine if our current government is incredibly arrogant or remarkably stupid by their handling of governing this province.... and I voted for them.

Arg if the oldman doesn't have enough going against it. This government is concerning, as an social liberal with fiscal conservative roots I feel like I'm a political red headed step child. One side wants to negatively impact the places I play in and the other side wants to remove the tools I use to play with. I guess it's just the way politics are but in the situation I am in and place we are as a family I very soon may stop voting with my wallet.

I have a love hate relationship with rip rap, it's ugly, it's dangerous, it destroys any opportunity for an undercut bank, but come stampede season those rocks are crawling. I find myself not wade fishing rip rap locations, even though some areas were my favorite to fish prior to the deposits, I'm a young man in my mid forties and some of those rocks concern me when navigating them.
