Considering that there are likely only about 100 adult bull trout in the Elbow River below Elbow Falls, this means that we salvaged about 5% of the Elbow River's fluvial adult bull trout population from certain death. that's awesome, thanks

realistically Jack, they need to decide what part of the city do they want to live. What they are looking for can be found in each quadent NW, NE, SW, SE. Myself personally, I live in the NW. I love it up here it is quiet, safe but far from the river. I would be looking for NW or SW as the east side has a lot more unsavoury elements

Have you given any consideration to the 7'10" TXLs? If so why was it ruled out? If I was to get another Sage with your requirements for small creeks and small drys on still waters this would be the rod I choose. The TXLs feel more "managable" to me, for small fish. I am fairly certian the TXL would meet your needs as it is designed for what you want. Last weekend I tied into several brookies with a 2wt TXL and it was awesome. If you'd like to try out a TXL let me know or I have the 390 Z axis you can chuck a bit as well, both are mated with a Sage reels

happy bday Teck

Pretty sure that because they are cops/peace officers in the van they can park where ever the f*uck they want Plus I don't think you'd get much traction if you were to complain

Nice bully Teck, how'd she fight in that little water?? You going to be out there this weekend? Fallen Timber is on my short list for this weekend my TXL 2wt needs a work out

Winston has one, and a few other guys as their bow river sticks. I think they got them from Fish Tales

there was a thread about this a few months back, I can't seem to find it via teh search but the generally consensis is that would be considered snagging

you can find Mackenzie plans fairly eazy on ebay for under $10.. I have thought of doing my own aluminum boat... but that would take valuable fishing time.. good luck What are 4x8 3/16' sheets of aluminum worth? that's what you would be working with right?

wicked feesh

I think you'd be hard pressed to surpass Uberfly's suggestion, those rods are great bargin. I am using a 6 wt Redington CPX for the Bow and i am very impressed with the rod.

Bandee in BC they clip the adipose fins of the hatchery stocks, and yes I get intimate with the fishys

in Calgary i think slim, there are generally more higher items that are grounded but in the middle of a lake you r fd

I know Sage's turn around time is completely dependant if they have the product in stock, but my only experience with Sage warranties has been rod based.

Ya i generally mark the fish... I cut off a pectoral or pelvic fin, sometimes if i feel like doing no harm I'l just clip the adapose (sp). Seriously I take a close up pic of every fish's face on their left side. The dude in the Loop hat with the short hair.... well that's me 56 weeks of no hair cutting was enough for my wife when we both had to be in the wedding party of some very close friends... my wife said "no way are your going to Dom's wedding looking like a 70's porn star. well off to the river...

Staff behind the counter should have already had criminal checks completed as they need a PAL to work behin the gun counters

Here you go, hope you guys like them. I took out the pics of the bull trout bloodied on beaches so there is no reason to complain. Had a pretty decent April, I was fortunate to get out 20 times on the Bow and a few more times on streams else where and still pay my mortgage. I saw some wicked fish this month and it was really eye opening to experience the way the fish are warming up and fighting dramatically stronger then they were 5-6 weeks ago. We are spoiled to have this in our backyard.... some of you literally. My fishing buddies got many larger fish, several were over 24". Myself not so lucky everything I landed tapped out at 22ish. I guess being on the not so good side of the camera isn't so bad. I wish I could show guys the pic of the 32" rainbow one of the clowns on this forum caught, but I was sworn to never mention it publically so I will have to be labeled a liar. Those of you that have seen the pic will need to back me up with this legend. I noticed there were a bunch of suckas caught this month, is that typical? I had a day were I landed 3 2 of which were back to back and one day Roach landed 4 back to back. enjoy the pics and tight lines

That's interesting I would have thought having the dominant hand on the rod and reel with the less dominant hand would be best. Thanks for the info.....

Not economically fiasable as then the only differnces would be guides, seat, cork and thread, I think if you weighed corresponding models (490 vs 490) you would find their weight is not the same... did you hear this from retail store staff? I don't think Sage uses the same madrels (sp?) with in seperate model classes, so the tapers are different as well to match the individual composite mixes Jay

Ayr nice fish dude... I 'll get my April pics up in the next few as well. I don't see any piker pics .... May try to join you up there in a few weeks

I was looking at them last week at Fish Tales, definately something to consider but the cost sure makes them unattractive
