Dave, you know much more about the processes involved in managing fisheries than i do, so I'm asking for knowledge not an arguement. When we first started this discussion i thought that the Bow could easily follow the regulations set forth on the Bear's Paw to WHD section. Why is that section only closed for two month blocks during the spawn?

Thanks guys, I need some more length for the deeper stretches of the Bow... hope to float this upcoming Sat & Sun

Hey All, I've never had to change my anchor rope and I think it is pretty straight forward, but I was wondering if any of you have any tips. Where should I buy the rope, is there a specific rope? I have an in floor rope system so I was thinking of duct taping the new rope to the old rope and just carefully pulling it through, but I am concerned that the duct tape will get jammed up in the cleats of the floor button. Tips?

I never said it was junk for rivers, I know many anglers on the left coast that use the Versa-tips for rivers.... it's just not for me, my dad love the Versatip. As for age, I have used last years' and one from 2009. Agreed, I find the Versatip is like many things that try to replicate many specific products in one package, it does all things adequately but not one thing perfectly.

I have a Versitip..... and hate it, i have probably only used it 20 times but I couldn't get over the loop to loop connection, it always seamed that the loop is always with in the guides, it doesn't want to strip or shoot well because of this, especially from a drift boat. I understand the benefit to the versatip but compared to the quality of the Rio Streamertip it's a world of difference... I also have found when you try to roll cast anything heavy the line collapses at the loops. For Durability and quality of the product, the versatip is on par with Rio's premium lines. That said the Versatip is fine for lake usage.

Am education system should never happen it is too exclusive of the resource, too costly for the average user and once again is an example of trying to legislate against idiots. Where is the extra revenue stream going to come from? It won't be coming from the cost of running the program..... have you ever witnessed a government run program that stays under let alone with in budget? This suggestion also doesn't address the fact that we have a world class fishery in Calgary that allows bait and fishing during spawning. A closure is the most efficent, cost effective way to stop people from fishing the Bow during the spawn.

Maybe it was the massive damn the white folks put in that has no possibilty for adequate fish passage that caused the down fall of the once great Capilano salmon and steelhead runs. I think the First Nations people were managing the resource just fine until then.

Yes and yes. I was out last saturday and i saw several big browns as well as a couple small rainbows

how much are you going to bill out our free labour at.....

I have the Playbook, I have a differing opinion on the it not being big enough.... I actually find it more user friendly because it is easier to carry... fits in my jean back pocket or hoodie pockets. I take it way more places than my 11" Galaxy It has excel, word and power point all of which work great, the camera's are beauty, the screen has great resolution but the KOBO reader is the worst product possible it jams all the time

I have a bunch of the Sage luggage now and I love it, but I am now open to other offerings so looking around. Exactly what I thought I would hear about the Sage bag, thanks Jdangler

I'm not looking for a dry bag or pack but a boat bag.... something like this http://www.sageflyfish.com/fly-fishing-luggage/technical/typhoon-boat-bag/

What is the best (not most expensive) waterproof boat bag out there.... looking for some more storage

there are a bunch of 7/8s out there, you don't find it too big on the 6wt? I would love to find a 5/6, but I use a 10' so maybe the 7/8. I'll keep combing through the weeb

What size and how much if you don't mind? I 've been trying to find a golden prince myself

My hat is off to you two, an excellent video and what an awesome partnership!

Peter, Fish Tales has a super slick line welder, just take it to them and have them re weld a loop for you... works awesome

CPX's are great sticks, i've had a few and was happy with them. If you are a Sage XP fan, you will be happy as the taper is a XP taper and you will notice that they are close to the same feel

I can't imagine what is wrong with that pic. THe contrasting colours are not what we as anglers are used to but I think it looks awesome

No update and the chain has been locked for several days. I think everyone concerned should drop a line to your local council person and ask why the city spent 6.4 million (budget) and there is no access until 6.5 - 7 K down stream at Glenmore http://www.calgary.ca/General/Pages/Calgary-City-Council.aspx Myrna Dube is in charge of the project maybe she can shed some light mdube@parksfdn.com

Nice cutties

What do you think they will rename the oilers when they are relocated into seattle.... hahaha

I am not a fan..... Where's this change theme button?

Depending on where you fly out of if they don't have one of the bomb sniffing machines they will deny you lines if they are in your carry on.

I'm confused it's too clean looking
