[What Is This Thing ?]

Salamander of some sort. I'd don't think that should be found in Alberta though.

[Aeration Of Lakes May Come To End In Alberta]

Wow $33000 dollars for that dock. This looks like its going to be a large expense for AB parks I wonder where this money is coming from?

[Springbank Reservoir]

Ive got a flood plan for you, Don't build your house on a river.

 

I would put money on this thing getting used every year and totally abused, because of fear. Look at the level they had the dams at during June for no reason but fear.

[Back Country User System, Could This Work?]

This is one of the most ridiculous ideas Ive ever read. You want people to pay to go outdoors. They already have this for the national parks. You must be really young or rich and havent gotten fed up with the user fees and taxes on everything already to suggest a fee for me to walk out my backdoor.

[Bull Hunting]

I must have somehow stumbled onto the AO forum. My mistake continue on with the in fighting.

[Reflecting On The Closures]

With the amount of rain and cooler temps over the last week in SW alberta im suprised they havent lifted the ban, But I guess the knee jerk reaction needs to last a while to make it look like it was worth it. They should have closed the rivers way before they did.

[Fishing Below "obstacles"]

I've fished right below castle as well with a CO watching never said anything but did check my license.

[St. Croix Imperial]

I have a 4wt and its my favorite rod besides my fiber glass ones.

[Please Help]

Well Your up to 6 already. Lets keep it going.

 

Whats your favorite fish to catch?

[Generator Help]

Thanks for the info I'll give them a call.

[Generator Help]

It looks exactly like the honda but says gentron.

[Generator Help]

Hey, Im looking for a place or person who can figure out whats up with my generator. Its a 3500w inverter honda knock off. It wont start if theres no load on it and even with a load it wont stay on for very long. Playing with the choke seems to help it stay going,

 

Thanks

[No Hook]

No

[Is There Cell Coverage Around Dutch Creek?]

If your on rogers you will have no reception, Telus has spotty reception at best.

[Otter Attacks Not All That Rare]

 

I've had "run ins" and "run aways" from most of the critters on the east slopes over the years, might as well have a run in with an otter as well. Even had a knuckle headed range cow put the run on me a couple years back, must be gettng old.

The cows. Holy crap the cows. I've had more run in with cows then chipmunks. I'm suprised we haven't heard any stories about someone being trampled by one. And this isn't sarcasm.

[Mosquito Repellant]

I look for high deet as well. Off sport 30% is the highest I've found. Works great but if I miss one spot the skeeters find it.

[Here We Go Again...]

The road to oldman falls is closed half way between the campground and falls.

[How Many Flies Do You Carry?]

WOW I thought I carried alot, but I guess not. I probably have maybe 80 in my vest at most and Keep a larger box of them, maybe another 200, on reserve close by. Although there have been a few times I've only had one type of fly that was working and swam, climbed and searched for the fly whenever it got stuck somewhere.

[Only 43 Days....what Flies ?]

If your heading down to dutch, cant forget the cuttie candy. Somthing like a royal wulf or coachman. Ill be down there from july 18-26th. Cant Wait.

[New Species To Catch]

Saying the carp are the biggest threat to Alberta fisheries and we should line the bank with their carcasses is alarmist. It is exaggerated and calls for an irresponsible response to a concern. I guess I am just thinking of game animals with the waste prohibition, and these are are not game fish. I still think a CO would have something to say about a thousand dead fish on the bank. The land owner would also have issues with that, I'm sure. There are hundreds of invasive species in Alberta, and only a few of them are really bad news.

i agree thats saying its the biggest threat is way over the top, as we all know otters are.

[New Species To Catch]

I appreciate your concern, but that is a bit alarmist, not to mention illegal. As far as I know harvesting any animal in Alberta without the intent to consume is illegal. I see records of this species in AB back several years and the sky hasn't fallen yet, and F&W has not put a bounty on them (maybe they should have by now, but they write the citations).

 

 

It is concerning, for sure, but between forestry, road building, over harvest and under funded management, our fisheries have a lot more to worry about than goldfish.

 

 

I hope I don't have to eat my words on this. A bad invader is bad news, but they are few and far between.

 

I dont think it alarmist at all, invasive species can do alot of damage very fast. Look at perch. Also as far as harvesting any animal without the intent to consume being illegal is wrong. Gophers many birds are killed for being a nausence. Plus trappers they arnt required to eat there catches.

[Fly Project]

Cant get much more calgary than the Bow River Bugger.

["dry" Camping In An Rv-Heat Questions]

You shouldn't have a problem running it off one or two deep cycle batteries. And recharging with solar works well. I run my whole trailer off solar and batteries and have almost no need for the generator unless we are gone out for over a week with some bad weather. And we can run the furnace as well as tv radio and DVD player.

[Policeman Area]

Its a secret.
