Yep they coated water up here (NW) as well. I tend to check out ant hills when ever I come accross them in them in the bush, last week every ant hill was chocked full of fliers waiting for the right temp. 420fisherman's yard was over run with them last night

Nice cutty, glad you could enjoy our waters for while. JJ it's a tailing glove

420 and i found someones almost dead dog last year on the highwood.... that ruined a day. I find stuff all the time, lately it has been dry fly floatant, but I loose stuff EVERY day i fish. I'm going to have to get my hemos in bulk soon. I also tend to find stuff I have lost weeks later. In this last winter I lost both my knife and a set of hemos on different waters; only to find them 2 weeks later. When ever I find lures or spoons I hang them in the evergreens.... kind of my way of making it christmas every day. I put 2 in a tree yesterday on the highwood. Plus this way people see it and take them, I generally cut the trebles off. If I am very lucky I find some trout.

Bullies are the shiznat

Coal fired power plants based in Sasq put out much more air born pollutants then the oil sands.... i think this is a very one sided article

Fresh water shark First Alberta fish 420 working out his 2wt Go make lots of strong babies

before I get any PMs, I look so mad because I just had to cut a monster bait hook in half to pull it out of this bully's face, this is a popular area and there are bait chuckers lurking. Fish can't dial RAP. Roach with another fair bully this cutty slammed a huge streamer and I mean huge the surprise on Roach's face is the huge bear ripping up behind me Double header

420 with an offering to the feesh gods casting, casting, casting. nice hole, but only babe bulls i love their spots and I think they only get better looking over the next while Roach with a baby bull as Flyon keeps casting, casting, casting

I worked for a couple of weeks out of town so I was only able to get handful of days out on the water a lot of it was spent hiking, searching, hiking and searching some more. I was priveledged to get out with The Humblefisherman a couple of times (note to self; "next time take a notebook and not a rod") and a few out of towners who got a piece of our little fishing heaven. Found a wicked sauna one day out in the middle of no where beside a creek, what a great way to wake up. A friend from the US stated to me, "when we got here i thought good looking water, never did I think it would hold fish this large. In the states a creek like this would hold 10"-12" fish." Just after releasing his 3rd fish over 18" Spent some time searching for trucha de toro, didn't find anything over 26" in july but there is some to find if you work. Unfortanetly it appears the poachers are working as well. I saw several bait buckets in hard to reach areas. Keep out a vigilant eye, they need our assitance sometimes. We are lucky never forget it, hope you enjoy. Roach with a fair cutty Boats, Beers and Buddies...... oh ya cutties as well After a hard day on the lake sometimes patience is rewarded Roach with a nice bully on the 3wt Z Is there a more appropiate name for a bull trout rod?

epic brown, it truly was Karma

BBT is right Captians is awesome..... but CB has gone to *hit each time I have been there over the last year, and BBT stay in Cochrane, these are northy only eateriers

wicked pics Max, thank you

Thanks for the info Scorpion, I think a few of my buddies and I will be using Ahlstrom air next year.

well wolfie, I won't argue with you over the interwebs, you are clearly right in everything you type. But for others that know differently I have been to Bainbridge, and watched the process of rods being built. THere is more then enough avenues for people to use to find the truth about Sage being 100% built in the USA. One such avenue is the # i posted 1.800.533.3004 Plus why would they send Sage rods to China, when they could just use Redington's plant in Korea...... doesn't make to much sense in ROI side of things to have to seperate manufacturing plants in asia.

Good pics Ayr, next time you are down let me know. WE'll go find some bullies

1983, I think. But don't believe me call 1.800.533.3004. It is the # to Sage's office in Bainbridge, Washington. They will be more then happy to schedule a tour of the plant where you can view blanks being turned from start to finish.

Darrin go with the heavier stick then you can chuck heavy sink tips with huge streamers easier for bullies

I love it, the more rain teh better it keeps people off of the bow and I tend to find more fish myself when the water is teh way it is. Got some real nice browns and bows the last couple of days, today was no different.... in teh rain

Nice brookie shots those rule

6.493 ms serious????? thats like 20' I thought I read some where that most spawning trout and salmon can leap a maximum of 7' I'll try to find some data supporting it. But I guess Max has a good point about the flow

I was out there with a couple of buddies on wednesday some dudes came into jump.... so we left, we all have a right to the river and it had been a good day hunting bullies, we went down river a 100ms or so and continued to land fish.

The Z-Axis' aren't to much, did you look at the prices of the TCXs???, as GrnDrake said if you use one you quickly forget about the price once you start feeling what you can achieve with your line so easily. My next rod will be a Z, probably 690. Remember as well Sage's are virtually hand built in the USA, labour cost is a huge factor in price.

awesome pic of that brown wicked spots

Is there anything availible in print for this? When I have been on the JP and have been told that water is private, I told the farmer he was mistaken and the stream banks were ok, he told me to beat it. I would have prefered to fish but but I wasn't in the mood to fight it out with a farmer. This gives us great ammunition but when the land owner tells you, "you're wrong" what then??? it would be nice to have something that you could show the cops when they arrive. This is not meant to be a critisism, it is just a question as to what do we do next? If land owners continue to push off us of "thier" creeks regardless of legality what can we do to guarentee access. Thanks for the leg work BBT, I have been wondering about this for a while as I frequent the Jumping Pound.

Sure, let's meet at the bridge crossing the Burnt Timber at 6:30am Saturday
