just a rumor. http://www.mywildalberta.com/documents/Fis...Report-2010.pdf only stocking of cutts this year was in Upper K lakes. ASRD does not stock flowing waters in Southern Alberta.

You cannot beat the fast service for the TFO rods- you can stop by their office and get a section replaced in 5 mintues. not weeks! thanks TFO!

They stocked 14,000 cutthroat trout into the upper lake in early June. Averaging 30cm- and bulls will be stocked this fall. If you have no luck catching a fish, you will most likely be able to catch someone using bait illegally. Phone is located in parking lot near boat launch.

Those are longnose dace. A. There are no black nose dace in Alberta. Period. B. Emerald shinners are mostly silver with 10-12 rays on their anal fin. Their lateral line does not exten past the eye. end of story.

Typically this type of issue is best directed at ASRD lands division. Photos of the people and the vehicles are great along with images of the silt. ASRD or DFO would likely have to "prove" that this issue was a harmful alteration or destruction of habitat- and that is very hard via word of mouth. An image of the trucks in the creek outside and ohv area with images of the drivers goes a long way to setting a complaint. Good luck

A big Thank You to those few individuals who have decided to bite the bullet and open and run local independent fly shops acrsoss the province, and essentially make running these small operations their life. Every shop I have ever visited has been a pleasure including Denny's (RIP) which I still miss to this day. Thanks to all those who support these warm, informative institutions and the service they provide.

The RAP line is a fisheries management tool. Please feel free to use it!! 1-800-642-3800 It does work and you can be rewarded with cash!!!!

Shells are often used in some eastern religious activities. The items that adore the shells each have a specific significance whether it is to mourn a loss or celebrate a new birth or for some other meaning. Hindus use it as an offering to a god or goddess in some circumstances.

Why do everyone get so upset? Me not avoied nationla parks to pay my money to eat hotdog on mountean top while i go fishign in some stocked lake. You are right, the comparison to an NHL game may be a little different, but you could just as easily watch a hockey game from home for next to nothing as well. For some it is about the experience of peace and quiet on a river in nature. You can experience that peace on the Bow River early and late season, but once others dust off the boats and rods and clog up the system, for some it becomes less enjoyable. So for some, including myself, I am willing to pay a little extra (I am not wealthy by any means) for that experience. There are already programs that focus on pay for play ("Open Spaces" program) for consumptive activities (there is a hooking mortality associated with catch and release angling no matter how skilled you are) in this province so those types of costs will come.

Get over it- Totally worth it to fish some of those systems- i have a hard time hearing people continuously get upset at this issue. Yes the decision was not a conservation issue, and yes there should be some allowances for those who own property in BC, but if you go by a ticket to an NHL game- what does that three hours of disappointment get you? a day at the local ski resort? or a day at the spa for your “lady friend”? well it is not that much- and the fishing is great, and there are almost no gorbies casting over you or pushing you out of your spot, the mountains are great to look at, and there are far fewer tampons or golf balls in those systems... etc.etc. Get over it!

If you watch closely you can see ducks flying over the bridge (some species go over, some go under) and if a truck or something spooks them they alter their flight path and end up flying right into the power lines located to the north of the Glenmore bridges. If they break a wing they will go find a place to die on the gravel bar to the north of the bridges. More often in low or poor light conditions.
