Why (only in the mountains) why not stockers and leave the wild trout to do what Ma nature wants them to do "Pro-create" That way there is more trout in the mountains to fish and release.. I like stockers in the early spring and late fall..rolled in flour and S&P and fried in butter .. or smoked.. This is just question .. not a judgement you do what you think you have to .. But I like wild trout to up there in the streams not in your digestive stream..

Guys I carry the SPOT now and feel it is the best for what I do ... I am not a skier or Snowboarder but I do spent a heck of a lot of time outside in the winter...(around Rivers) I have used the SPOTS "OK" button with only the smallest view of the sky and my messages have gotten through... Granted it would not work (I believe) if buried under lots of snow... but I have confidence that if I screw up and get hurt or lost, the SPOT will get at least alert somebody as to my where about's... For those interested here is the link ... I am not a sponsor of the SPOT... just recognize a good tool to have in the woods when I see one... http://www.findmespot.ca/en/ Heavy cloud cover and heavy snow fall have not in the past compromised the spot.. I agree with PSFG.. in that having the basics and a good back up team of informed friends and family is of the utmost importance... but 12 hrs may be 11 hrs too long... or 11hrs and 55 min too long.. The SPOT gives a higher piece of mind if you change plans as you can signal that you are OK.. I test the spot out side my door before leaving LA and wait for the msg to get to the wife.. As a bit of back ground I have spent 24 yrs in the CDN Army, Boys scouts and grew up hiking and camping, Fly fishing and, ran orienteering races in HS.. The SPOT is not the only tool I carry or rely on, but I think it is a good one to have ..

Fishing on the crow.. on that little bend that is protected from the wind... -
You old boys are too set in your ways.. The second fish I posted was not caught on a BAW... and my son had a fatter one on the same fly only in black.. No prob.. I think for Shits and giggles I will fish the Crow next with my Salmon flies and see what happens....
-
That was a salmon fly right? My first Bull in Alberta was caught on a Salmon Fly, never thought to try them for Bows.. Do you still have it Plse post a pic so I can tie more...

Holy crap you old farts roll rough ..... :$*%&: I drive the 06 Matrix, didn't you see the Happy Fisherman sticker and fresh Dog nose prints on the windows? I also have a 04 Bright Blue Highlander.. C&R plate thing and Trout Bum sticker...same on the dog prints.. Nice fish BTW did you need oxygen after the fight..
-
It dug a big "new" hole under the roots.. no fish from it yet at least for me... but I bet this summer if it is not washed away completely by the spring run off, there will be a resident fish there..

Hi Beadhead.. It was nice to meet you at the parking lot also, it seems folks remember the dog more then me but that's OK... I had a great day... with a story ... Had five hooked landed two.. First here is the obligatory shot of Fischer.. the Arsonal not going to tell which were hot but not hard to guess.. the first Bow nice male caught in a run... long and lean.. the second one is the one I was after, she is nice and fat.. I try not to take the fish out of the water just better for them this time of year.. Fischer started to act all nervous and was growling and pacing and jumping.. Damn I love that dog.. the first pic shows the Wolf/BIG Coyote on the ridge...this is to the west into the wind.. The second picture it's gone.. I thought I could see another on the grass in front but not sure.. DAMN big if they were Coyotes... started with the snow furies so we headed to the Timmies in the pass and Fischer got extra rations Not very often I post a fishing trip to this board, don't want to encourage the Big City boys...

Nope I'm a ****ing saint!!!!!!!! -
When I retired from the army they would have moved me and the family any where I wanted... Well I picked right here in SWAB LA.. Lethbridge Alberta... big enough city to get what I need and close enough to the great fishing that this area offers.... Will only move from here with the earthworms chewing my remains..

Harper Does It Again!!!

The way I read the info is that they will leave it up to the devoloper etc.. to decide if what they are doing is going to impact the "minor Water way" as we know some would look at the Crow or some other small river, brook, creek as a minor waterway and decide to unload *hit into it or block or build on it or intrude on it as it is a minor water way and not "protected " any more... Worst case I know and maybe fear mongering but I also do not like gov Agencies unloading responsibilities to special interest groups etc...

Ok but still have to watch ans see how this plays out in other places... 507... Bermis bridge east side where the "developer" plowed roads and trails all over the flood plain and right up close to the river it appears that he wants to put a park or even a house or something there.. Camping ?

flyfishfairwx replied to fishinhogdaddy's topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
Of course I had to show that to my son and then forbid him to do it on top of all the other crazy *hit he has done.... Good luck with that one Ray!!!!!! -
Well you know damn well that a Developer is not going to think of the river or do a damn thing to protect it other then making sure it does not wash away any of his precious bank that he is trying to sell... look at what buddy did near the 507 bridge on the flood plain.. and those acrages below HyWy 3 on the crow what is going to happen there... And never say never or that it can't happen here BECAUSE IT WILL AND WE WILL NOT BE LOOKING AND BAMM THERE IT IS HITTING YOU ON THE FRIGGIN HEAD....
