I have the riversheds studded vibrams also. No complaints, great traction, light, comfortable, reenforced toe box so you don't get your toes squat. Money very well spent

So what you are saying is "If your butt draggs on the ground, grab your rod by the tip, hold it high in the air and stick it in the butt. And your buddy Cdock likes it" Ha Ha.

I had teh exact same thing happen. I think there was a design problem with the Orvis pro guide II's seam location. They did the exact same thing for me and my old pro guide II's, where they upgraded me to the pro guide III's/

I know that is the theory with spending more and getting more but I haven't noticed the quality difference from Icky. Seeps to be a good deal for a good fly.

Thats why Ickyflyworks.ca rocks! $0.99 per fly and they are pretty good quality.

Thanks mom.

I like it I think it might be time to retire to old "max logo". Any others agree?

Depends on your tolerance to the cold, I fished with a buddy of mine over a moth ago who wet waded. Not my cup of tea, but I guess he is tougher then me. I wouldn't worry about how clean the water is. About the hardness of the water, people from all over the world pay money to bath in the Banff hot springs which is 10x the disolved calcium. As for how clean it is, if you compare it on a global scale the Bow is cleaner then alot of the water people drink around the world. If you can suffer the cold do it. The only polution in the Bow is from the mountains to where you fish and Calgary has a water treatment plant that is the best in the world.

I have the Simms Rivershead Vibram with studs. Losts of grip, neoprene lined, big toe box, desigend to be light enought to hike in. Love em, and they dont get slime clogged like my old felt ones. WIth that said I only had LL beans and these, these are far supperior, but also 5x the price.

First of all you have to stay on the strip! You can get great deals on Hotwire.com for the MGM Grand. We booked four guys to two rooms, but once we got there you can upgrade at the front dest for a few bucks each to a loft or penthouse. Very swank! The pool is a great place to hang out durring the day, and as for the evenings you can make your own fun or talk to a club promoter. The clubs are different then here and work on bottle service between $300 - $500 for a bottle of booze but you can usually negotiate a 2 for 1 deal on the bottle and a VIP lounge with your own waitress if you have a few guys. PM me is you want more details and some cell numbers for club promoters, Also every cabbie will want to take you to the strippers, as the strip bars give them $50 per guy they bring in. Also pick pockets are a reality so if a girl approches you in the street flirting with you keep your hand on you wallet. They stay out of the casinos as there is cameras everywhere.

I was at Wedge pond two weekend ago. There were lots rising but I had no luck. Beautiful little lake

I think you missed teh joke, I thought it was pretty witty

A man went to his doctor and said I cannot pleasure my wife anymore in my later years, can you help? The doctor replies that "in our later years over heating can play a major roll in a womans ability to climax, you could hire somone to fan your wife while you try to pleasure her. On the doctors advise the old guy hires a strapping young man strong enough to wave the biggest fan he could find for two hours. After a failed attempt that night under a gentle breeze of the fan, he returned to the Doctor and said " no luck doc the fanning didn't work". The Doc suggests maybe it isnt the fanning thats the problem and maybe the old man and the young fan boy should switch. Thats night as the young man worked his majic the old lady sang like she never did before and climaxed three times in a row. The old man stood up, pushing the young buck to the side as he handed him the fan and said "NOW THATS HOW YOU WORK A FU^%ING FAN"!

I carry enough junk in my vest, hopefully the CO's know the regs.

There is someone in my neighborhood that once a week spends his evenings burning rubber. I am talking serious doughnuts and big burn outs. I wish I could illegally park my foot up his ass before he rips the side off a house or hits someone.

Why did TUC leave this for so last minuite? I only got the E-Mail from TUC on this 11:00 this morning. I think someone dropped the ball on this pretty bad.

Gotta agree with the chemical comment. I have a Katadyn Combi, it combines a silver impregnated ceramic element and a refillable, activated carbon cartridge. It is effective against bacteria and protozoa and also reduces chemicals and bad taste. 0.2 micron ceramic filter. I used to be on expidetions in the mountians for months at at a time and it worked great, never onve got sick. I even used it to drink Mexican and south american water with no ill effects. Highly recomended if you are willing to shell out the bucks. Even found this little video on it. http://www.katadyn.com/caen/technical-supp...ombicombi-plus/

I had Dell warrenty the motherboard on my desktop computer, they had a guy out the next day and new mother board, no bill no questions asked.

I just went there today at lunch to pick up a few streamers and pike poppers, still closed. The two Vietnamese soup shops on either side are still open so all was not lost....mmmm noodle soup.

This is third hand info but a co-worker was telling me that his friend is a waste treatment engineer in Calgary and the system is world renound. He also said that his friend drinks the end product before it goes back into the Bow at the end of the facility tour to show how confident they are in the treatment process. White fish are great eating, they have a slight cucumbery taste, so they go great with summer salad

I was doing a walk and wade last summer in a section of the river at the bottom of Shaganappi trail, by the walking bridge and park. The fire department/river rescue in their jet boat blew thru my pool at Mach 3 while one of them pointed at his chest and screamed "where's your life jacket". Please tell me you don't have to wear a life jacket wading in the river? Matt

I am hitting central Alberta this weekend, hoping for some Pike action. Should I break out the 6 weight rod or do you think the 5 weight would handle it? Also when Pike fishing in the winter we use a steel leader, is this suggested for the summer also so the teeth don't cut the line? Matt

So whats everyone's experience with runoff, and high water with respect to fishing numbers? Should I expect a slow few months with low visibility or is there going to just be more food in the system and heavy feeding fish?

Almost went over the waders on the weekend, river is certianly higher. Now is a great time to take note of those undercut banks that the Browns will be hiding under when the river crests. We are just comming up on runnoff, you will notice a big difference over the next month ecven thought runoff is scheduled to be lower this year.

I really like Icky fly works, the only problem is I get carried away at times and order more then fit in my box.
