dang, you guys were generous. that cuttie was just shy of 19". deceiving pic though.

Here's a cuttie from last year:

i'd want to see a clinic on how to catch fish out of wedge pond. been there like 4-5 times without a dang fish landed.

i'm removing my post. i thought the reply would be amusing but it might encourage others to post on the topic so it's gonzo.

Funny... http://youtube.com/watch?v=oxTyuFBPJsk

Just found out about this. I've got company coming over tonight so i'm not going but thought that others might be interested in attending. It's being held in Kensington. http://www.savekananaskis.ca/

why doesn't anybody else interested just post the next material/step? palemorningdunce/LK/brent/MTB/hawgstoppah?

i'm honored that i'm the first to tell you how awesome that was: that was freakin' awesome! that montage totally rocked. thanks for the time and effort on this video.

sorry, i blew it. I pass the torch to dryfly. PM sent.

good topic castus! instead of complaining about various things we can talk about where we'd like money invested. i'd vote for investing in education and investing in industries for the post-oil era which will eventually come. once all the oil is gone, it would be nice if people still lived here instead of migrating to the next big boom. hopefully Alberta won't be a province littered with ghost towns from the north to the south.

uh oh. somebody said GW. batten down the hatches! just kidding. nice fish and pics biffchan. welcome to the board. you can give me advice any time!

guess we'll see the results tomorrow. no offense intended troutslayer. i just don't like people saying that 'thousands and thousands' of jobs will be lost without any data or analysis backing it up. it's heresay in my opinion until i see some calculations, data and facts. i got the impression that special Ed hinted the royalty structure would be modified. hopefully it doesn't affect your (or anybody else's) job security. and hopefully your employer will still have their EnCana contracts and the economy will keep rolling along. i'm sure that's the royalty review panel is hoping for as well.

betcha he had a blood alcohol above 0.00 when he did all that jazz! sorry i don't really know the guy. just think it's funny for the leader of the province to act the way he does. and by funny, i mean really depressing. sorry, no more politics-talk.

how about backing up the figure of "tens of thousands will lose their jobs". how was that number calculated? or the actual development costs of finding oil/gas reserves amortized over lifetime bbls of a project. i'd like to see those numbers as well.

an annual pie-klein event aka "The see if you can get pie up klein's nose event" or a dedicated day for abusing legislative pages aka "The I'm an upset baby and nobody listens to me day" or the construction of a facility where anybody who enters is free to openly poke fun at people who are disabled or a monthly event where everybody rich goes downtown, gets totally bombed and berates the homeless at their shelters aka "Memorial denigration of the poor day". those have to make the list.

pick up a backroads mapbook for southern alberta. cost you about $20 and most fly shops carry them (among other stores). super handy for checking out access points along all the streams. unfortunately i haven't fished much in the area so not sure about conditions down there. good luck!

Teck, The best thing yuo can do is pick up a backroads mapbook for southern alberta. they cost about 20 bucks and most fly shops have them (i know troutfitters has a big pile of them for alberta and bc). it will have tons of road access points to fish rivers. keep it in your car and you can reference it whenever you are driving around the southern foothills. i haven't fished much lately down in the oldman drainage so others will have to prescribe access points in that area.

Has anybody in the history of the universe ever won anything sizeable from those dang safeway cardboard handouts? the most I've ever amounted to was 10 dang air miles. DANG!

my scuds look typical but the oliver edwards deep diving shrimp looks freaking insane. you could catch any fish on the planet with that thing. here's an example but it doesn't do the real tie justice: http://globalflyfisher.com/patterns/oeddshrimp/ i looked for oliver's tie online but couldn't find it.

i like the ice dub too as i find it's easier to work with but the real peacock herl gets slicked up in the water and gets flow-y and looks more like gills under the water (presumably). it also has the iridescent purply look to it which i like.
