  1. I have been told that as well but there must have been a time when it wasn't
  2. Does anyone have a good answer for why most of the waters are closed more then open in Ab? Couldn't we have catch and release only months? I understand closing waters during spawning times but that still leaves us with a lot of the year to fish, I just find it is going to be to long to wait for July 16th, and a 4-6 month window just doesn't seem long enough. So much water and so little time, damn. What are your thoughts?
  3. Can a person eat raw trout without ill effects? Say I was in a foothills river where I was able to drink the water could I have a sushi shore lunch?
  4. Dekkard shooting the bull Dekkard with his second of the day I don't know what he is thinking here either Damn it's cold or OMG this is a great fish
  5. So Dekkard, 420fisherman and myself got out on saturday, it was crazy cold. We went to the Highwood and fished with corn, cheese and hotdogs focusing on bulls. Dekkard landed 2 on hotdogs and I had a hit. It was tough with having to clear our guides every 3 casts. here are some pics enjoy. NO IT ISN'T REALLY THE HIGHWOOD AND NO WE WEREN'T USING BAIT Cold, you can't even see the alchohol anymore It was warmer to be in the water but when you came out you would freeze up pretty solid Snowy Speys Dekkard on a fish In and out get'em back before they freeze
  6. Fly fishing for bull trout in Jan is way colder then bait fishing for Steelhead in Jan, but way more fun.
  7. Simms waders, a Sage wader tote bag, Ipod, fishing diary, base layer thremals, bendy tripod and a trip to costa rica.... great loots for me this years
  8. I would think they should be ok folded.... that's how they come in the box from the factory
  9. woot thats me
  10. Dude fillem with air and dip them in the tub, you'll see bubles ripping out no matter how small the hole is. I use to use a bike pump but now I use my compressor. easy
  11. i couldn't get a the line we tried due to the tight time constraints I have right now. so I lined the reel with 350yrds of 50lb power pro, 35lb Slick shooter, a 460gr Rio Spey AFS with the 37ft head and a Airflo Extra Super Fast Sinking Poly Leader. So far so good but I really wouldn't be able to tell the difference it seems much easier to cast then the heavier line we tried on Jeremy's stick and on par with the line we tried on mine. If anything I'll have to get a new line, OH WELL. When I get back home we'll have to head out Greg, I'll need to work on getting my tan back to Calgary pale. Tight lines mates and have a great Christmas I won't be on line for a few weeks, but with fingers crossed I'll have some great pics of how not to handle fish. Jay
  12. it sounds as if this technique is nearly identical to how west coasters "bottom bounce" roe sacks...... minus the roe sacks
  13. you guys that fished the Pitt, did you fish the upper or lower. It's been a decade since i've been on the upper but if you've been there you know why it holds a special place in my heart. How did it fish for you guys. On that note I've only had my spey rod on the bow this year. I am taking it to costa rica in 2 days, hopefully I will land some cool fish.
  14. I was only saying it was biased because the news casters were making jokes of the video. I support the jokes whole heartedly, I was just surprised at national broadcasters. No offence taken
  15. I saw that pointed out on the news a few days ago, I was surprised because it really showed the biased opinion of the broadcaster, but if you let that happen the jokes will follow. They were also commenting on the ultra crappy quality of the video, the shot and the placement of the camera. Apparently the liberal party is broke, they need to have a 12 year old shoot the video
  16. I don't know Toolman, the fish is far to out of the water, the sun is damaging it's eyes, you are wiping of it's precious water mucas, you are displacing the adapose (sp) fin in an unatural position. oh and you caught it with a hook.................... HAHA Great Pic Toolman. You'd think this F**King horse would be dead from all the beatings
  17. why did I even f**king vote?
  18. what was the cost to (not including flights) I've been thinking of heading down there next year rather then the Skeena watershed. Did you do it with LOOP or another guide service or just yourself. PM me if you want. Awesome pics, thanks
  19. unless they can CSI the boot print that was teh final blow, I don't think so. Walmart maybe fianancially liable in a civil suit
  20. that is ****ed, not only because someone died but who wants to get into walmart that bad, I throw a 3 year old fit everytime my wife wants to go
  21. When I was there over thanksgiving, they guy at the tackle shop looked at me and said "Do you want to use your parents address, it will be way cheaper?" I responded with hell ya. You don't need a car or a BC plate, think about that for a second, you can't restrict fishing to those that have a car. Anyways if it goes to *hit, I will happily spend my BC Steelhead budget on trips to Belieze or any other tropical fishing destination. If you are a do-it-yourself kind of guy like I am there isn't much difference in the cost.
  22. Personally I would got with the Pentax, I am a Pentaxion myself and love thier cameras. IMHO they are unrivaled right now in image-stabilization, which is way more important then megapixels. Plus the Olympus only uses XD card, rather then the more popular SD cards, which may be a concern if you are somewhere remote and need a replacement
