Sweet, I thought things were changing, I should have known better. The channel always had enough water the 300+ times I've run it. I guess planning and building the channel to have enough flow is to difficult.

Am I missing something here, are they leaving the Baker Park and Shouldice Park as hand use launches only???? there are boat launches there now with just gates in the way. According to the map these have the ICONS for hand use.

Any idea when the locks will be removed from the North boat launches

Once anglers start to realise the fishing options these little boats open the doors too, we'll see a bunch more. I'm going to run mine right up to elbow falls. Bigfry, once mine is running we'll get out for a spin..... maybe on Stauffer.

I can't paste the link for some reason but get the "How to row a drift boat" DVD from Hyde's webstore. It's actually pretty decent and a good prep for getting on the water.

Not I, That said with all the jet-hate here I won't mention when I fire her up.

I'm happy to see a survey. Years ago to be heard you'd have to drive across the province. Does it need work, sure but who doesn't. My thoughts after the survey; I'd like to see the Bow with a half year closure, BUT with the populace we have there must be the proverbial village bicycle. That's the Bow, and I hate to say it. The other option is the spring creeks in central AB get massacred for 2 months prior to Bow opener. The people that manage our waters have a very difficult job and they need to provide an option for recreational use all year round. I don't like it but it is a lowest common denominator kind of thing. The crazy thing is the vast majority of those asking for seasonal closures fish the Bow nonstop. 90% of the fish are caught by 10% of the anglers, and in this case the adage applies. Why do we need to wait for the gov't to make it law before we ourselves do what we are asking for? Couldn't we all self impose our own closure for the betterment of the fish?

Then I don't care, all my material goods are just that material goods and they can be replaced. My only concern is my wife and son.

A Remington 870 doesn't require a monthly monitoring cost.

I wonder if they will repopulate with rainbows, and browns or take this opportunity to stock cutties

I wish there were more that thought the way you do, #thehuntforreddoctober was alive and kicking in Alberta if you utilized IG as an indicator of on water behaviour.

Looks like he pulled his Kelowna add now.

I asked him to meet me to look for some of his gear, I'm going to be very obtuse, directionally impaired and generally a difficult guy to deal with. Hopefully he considers his time valuable.

I know of a few jet owners that are looking at challenging the bylaw.... perhaps this is one of them looking for a ticket.

Every time I fish for bulls, whack whack whack

Just bomb through, it's exciting

I'm excited, Stoney and Shouldice...hot dam both are favorite drifts of mine, and like the report said there would be little in the way of opening those gates. My poor drifter didn't get wet this season, with this change I'll be back on the upper city bow.

Gear is made for the average user, 15 days a year 5-7 days. If you fish 150+ days a year you will only get a season and a half from your gear, regardless of the cost. Waders leak, its just a matter of when.

Not going to stop chronic poachers, they don't care about the laws

you have boat launches in the South, there are NONE, ZERO in the north... short end of the stick you say

I think seniors should be charged more, no seriously, why give the guys free access when they fish the most? I think the system should be based on days fished.... and I fish 200 days a year

No

Don, the paint isn't done yet, but I was going to have it painted in navy tiger stripe cameo, so it is hard to see for the wading anglers
