The bonus on top of the fish

This fish is far from Calgary...and she was not the biggest one I saw. Can't wait for the next adventure

Awesome Brian. Big, slow head shakes get the adrenaline flowing. Here's one from a ways south of your location

In Africa they stake a goat to the ground for leopards and hide in a tree. In the C Hills they'll have to stake a turkey

I believe they thought there was at least 8 a couple of years ago. Lots of prey around to build a population of cats for sure. A little respect for muzzle blasts might not be a bad idea. The turkeys are totally voting yes to the hunt.

I've got one with the "gravel" in it as well. Just waiting for it to totally fail

The fish doctor is a legend in SW Alberta. 9.5lb of public water rainbow....secret spot #2799

Fish finders....that's cheating Cold water can equal big fish says my buddy...

Taco, I have a strong alligator clip with a small lead weight attached. I clamp it on my fly and drop it down to check depth. Very cheap, very useful tool. Moving around a bit allows you to "map" the bottom until you get a fish finder.

Slower than normal but you just have to find the depth the fish are holding at. Sometimes they are sitting right on the bottom and therefore you must present the fly very slowly within a foot of the bottom. Other lakes the fish are holding half way down...you fish the bottom or the top and you won't have much luck. In cold water there often is a short window when the fish get active. Additionally, bright sun and no wave action can also really limit the number of fish moving around. One lake I fish just significantly picked up yesterday. Water clarity and temperature finally getting to a zone to make the fish active.

Backing works well for repairing rips in your old net

Too bad, but better than one less young man

He used to work at Woodwards. A couple of guys I fish with know him.

Beauty chromers!!! Looks like those fish love munching on scuds

Great color on those gold looking fish. I like the ones with shoulders!

Looking for reviews for a TiCr 9ft, 5wt. Good, bad would you buy another one?

Nice chunky fish Frank. Looks like the wind wasn't too friendly though. Thanks for sharing

I think only if they get convicted. It's a good idea to report every incident anyway. If will give the fish cops an idea of how often/location of infractions

I worked at a research station in the Yukon one summer. One of the studies involved mapping home ranges of red squirrels. We took one squirrel on a trip across a good sized creek and about 10km further. He returned to his piece of forest heaven a few days later. They are very protective of their home ranges.

If you plan on fishing lakes where there is lots of wind or travelling long distances, then I would recommend dive fins if in a tube. When fighting through waves that are crashing on your back I think you'd want to have something that can move some serious water.

Sounds good Terry. There is a few around my house that I'm sure would like a campfire

They love peanut butter. Grey squirrels don't belong here....take them to Taco so he can add them to his Brook trout dinner.

If a wild turkey was to follow a person home....what kind of flies could one make with said bird's feathers? Show me some pictures and tell me which feathers were used.

I was waiting for you to respond about your blue sweater...I think your BLUE has even better results. I'm thinking the fish don't really care about people's fashion sense....

Sundance lake fish love red.... I hope Don doesn't ban me from the trout fishing fraternity for my jacket color choice
