I have never fished Upper K. Is that a good spot?

This was discussed earlier (eagleflyfisher)...especially for a Power Drifter. My buddy was having the same problem but has fixed it now. He installed a high quality Black Diamond rotor swivel (climbing gear at MEC $54) at the rope tie off point. Works great. Sorry for the crappy picture I was trying to fall in the water

Matching sets are good

Congrats on a hole and one. That must be a great moment. I'm cool with some flak. Soon there will be some lake bugs on top of the water. I will try that next time

But if it is a stillwater cutty the game is different. You guys are trying to hurt my feeling

5wt

Mainstream will work...the fish won't even know. You can buy 2

Elbow river is way up this morning. This must have opened the dam

Cool pic. Maybe a 6wt with some backbone is in order for that game

The fish in BH are more willing I hear, though many say it is tough fishing this year

Not sure how many made it with the bodies around. Scared me after the long drive

The Sinusoidal bye bye

Lots of Prussian Carp in the Red Deer below the city Red Deer down Okotoks pond was rotenoned for goldfish I believe Lots of carp below Bassano in the Bow and irrigation system All started from a guy with a Talapia farm by Strathmore. He released carp into an irrigation ditch that eventually gets to the Red Deer river below Drumheller. Then it was up to the bucket brigade to start moving carp everywhere

Some nice casting happening there. Great to watch some skill

Buckingham trout by Todd Moen video on Youtube. Link doesn't want to show up here

I even used 20lb braid for the nail knots behind the fly line loop. Then glued to smooth things out

I didn't know Rick(Tex) was in the movies

Not sure how things are going...but as far as "rope" goes....guys at Canyon rigging said there is now rope made with Dyneema (like braided fishing line) that is incredibly strong in a small diameter with a breaking strength of 50,000lb.

Landowner is Albertina Farms. Houses are along Hwy 552 just north of Blizzard lake on the map. There is a road all the way down there coming from the south right to the Hell on Wheels filming site. I don't think "rope" will be strong enough. You may need cable or nylon webbing tow straps.....the guys at Canyon Rigging in Calgary can custom build whatever you might need and offer some professional expertise. A tractor on shore might be the best solution

Not sure if supplies are needed for the rescue, but a company in SE Calgary probably has anything required....Canyon Rigging

The rod likes the 600gr head. Now to just swing up some Chromers!

Hey when your bobber goes down... my guide Dave taught me strike at everything

A couple of weeks after Troutlover landed the zombie Burbot, I nymphed up this ex-trout. Hook wasn't quite in the mouth but close enough. "Caught" in a very fast riffle in about 3ft of water. That was the day I burned all my indicators

Then the Elk....
