That is AWESOME!

That was the biggest damn cuttie I've every seen. On film or otherwise. That was NUTS! Gotta love the humor in Sensei though. I have no idea how April was able to keep a straight face with Hank lol

Nice. Will have to take the dog for a walk down there and do some bird watching.

Now that was cool.

I will be attending only the one day. Sadly, I work both the Friday and the Saturday, so I will be in on the Sunday. Will have to talk to the kids to see if they would rather be in church thinking about fishing, or at the fishing expo thinking about God ;-)

Beauty brown! And a nice release. Well done. No sink tip for the streamer?

That's pretty awesome!

I just use my wading boots with a Simms neoprene sock in it. It really helps keep your feet warm in those cold mountain streams and the support is clearly there too.

Awesome shots Art, thanks!

Awesome shots! Thanks Andy!

Thank you Doc. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas as well.

most useless thing I purchased was the mosquito annoyer by William Joseph. The thought of there being a high pitched noise to drive away the skeeters and not have to bathe in repellant was too much to take and for only ten bucks, I thought it was worth the gamble. Ten bucks I will never get back. Such is life.

After 40 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling. The wife went into a tirade, listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married. On and on and on, she went: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured. Finally, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her, long and passionately, as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up, and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said "This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?" "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Friday I fish!

It's always the same with you isn't it Steve? Same amazing pictures, same amazing stories, same amazing scenery. Can't you do something boring once in a while to make the rest of us feel normal? Great pics as always buddy. Looking forward to our next trip out together!

nice shots! Looks like a great summer!

This is exactly why I said that Steve. Good luck tonight. I will be out tomorrow. First outing since I got back from Terrace at the end of August. Can't wait.

Born and raised in Edmonton. Learned to fish with spin gear with my dad on Cross Lake near Barrhead, trolling for pike, using marshmallows for bait for perch, etc. Hadn't fished since I was 16 or so until I moved to Calgary in 2001. Had heard of the Bow river and what kind of a fishery it is prior to even moving here, when fishing wasn't really in the forefront of my mind. When I moved here, I won a spin rod and tackle box in a fun hockey tournament with my job at the time and gave the Bow a shot. Frustrating experience. I had been wanting to learn how to fly fish, but being the procrastinator that I am, I never really dug into it much to see where I could go to learn. Thankfully, my lovely wife did that for me and bought me an Introductory Fly Fishing course through Country Pleasures. Actually learned how to fly fish from Jim Mclennan. I didn't really know it was a big deal at the time. From the moment I picked up that fly rod and started to cast, I knew I was done. Hook, line and sinker. This was back in 2008, I have been obsessed ever since and get out whenever I can. I have met, and fished with, several members from this board, all of which have helped me immensely (well, except maybe Bob Loblaw) in learning this sport that I have grown to love over the few years that I have been doing it. So much so that I am trying to get my two kids into it so that I have fishing partners that my wife can't complain about. See you on the river.

I like cake

I also lost about 1/3 of my big poplar out front. Spent sunday cutting, moving and raking up branches just so I could walk from the street to my front door. Craziness!

My mother in law made me carrot cake for my birthday. It's delicious.

Nice! I love the pics of the eagles!

Awesome doesn't really describe these pictures enough. Well done and thanks for sharing!

I would certainly agree with you there. Good enough game, much better than years previous, but still need to limit the turnovers and mistakes.
