Climate Change Study Of Scientific Consensus
Swede replied to a topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. Period. They can guess, they can try to extrapolate with historical records, or use computer models. But they don't know. If you're a reasonable person you should want to improve how clean our energy is no matter what. We should want to become more efficient no matter what. We shouldn't need a bunch of jackasses changing their course every 10 years trying to scare us into it. And that's exactly what they've done. Every ten years it goes from warming to cooling and they always say there were right. We should become more ecofriendly because it's the intelligent thing to do, not because Al Gore says if we don't the world will end. politics of fear. -
Climate Change Study Of Scientific Consensus
Swede replied to a topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
I don't know if its just weather cycles or global warming. But winters are a joke compared to when I was younger. We don't get even a fraction of the snow we use to get. Winters are much warmer now, sure we might get a week or so of 35 below. I remember working a 2 week shift north of Zama city it never warmed up above 50 below. The coldest day was 57 below with winds that made it feel like 100 below, worst night of my life by far. That whole month it was 40 below or colder. Anyways winters were a F---k of alot colder and a ton more snow than we have now. Also in my life Ive noticed a lot of high country streams I fish don't carry anywhere near as much water as they did. Some actually shock me when I think back. My sister has a farm on the shore of a lake, oh wait the lake is 1/2 mile away now. To me it's a lot warmer now than it was, sure it could be just a cycle in our weather or there could be some truth to global warming. I think its pretty naive to think that we're not affecting our weather. -
Your Largest Bow River Trout/char
Swede replied to bigbowtrout's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
Well all post this in here about 27 or 28 based on a quick measurement on my rod and checked a few mins after release with a tape. Not quite as nice as my Red Deer River browns ,the biggest I cant post because as I was posing for a photo he decided to slap me across the face with his tale and escaped. Got the picture but not very flattering for me or the fish. No worries he landed in about 8 feet of water and was gone. Thats one thing I force myself to do is stay in the water when handling fish. -

At least Calgary tried to make the playoffs , instead of racing to last place. -
Sorry JMC, guess I've been lucky with the cats I've owned. I Didn't realize some will still mark after being fixed.

Be a responsible pet owner and get your cat neutered and it wont go around marking it's territory on your things.

Nice Jay . Do you ever plan on making a DvD . I would definitely buy it, hopefully Dave and Amelia Jensen will put one together too.

Didn't look like lip syncing to me, everything in the show was a live feed but Nelly and Brain. Ya ok.

Does anyone know what David Frost did to Denton to make him want him dead. You don't just wake up and say I want this guy dead. Did he sexually abuse him when he was a kid or steal his hard earned wages. He had to do something and if he did I say give Denton another chance.

What does it take for the flames to get a 4 min penalty for high sticking drawing blood called for them. Last 3 high sticks against a Calgary player that drew blood netted the flames 2 mins in pp time, not that the flames pp is great. Getting a little sick of Calgary players heading For the bench with blood streaming down there face and no penalty called. First year I've watched hockey since the refs and review judges screwed Calgary when they scored the Stanley cup winning goal. Cant wait till the play offs when the refs really start sticking it to Canadian teams. -

Well when the puck is iced theres still a pretty good chance that it will be blocked or some how kept in play. You see it all the time a poor icing attempt that results in a goal or at least a good scoring chance. Over the glass is definitely a cheap move and should be called when appropriate. -
$100 dollars is nothing for the right to fish for the whole year. I think most of us would buy one if the money was going to enforcement or to the resource. You need to find friends that can supply their own gear maybe?

You know what they say "No brain...no pain".

I always questioned why people feel the need to try to educate some bozo out breaking the law. Myself am there best buddy till I get out of sight than I call them in. Why try to educate them they already know what there doing is wrong, they just pack up and move to a different spot to poach. Only if it was a father with his young kids would I try to educate them.

I think they should raise the cost of licenses to around 100$ for a year and then have a license you can buy that lasts 1 month for about 25$ for people that don't like to fish all year long There always saying they don't have the funds so raise the cost to fish. Ya some people might not buy one at a higher price but I think most of us would.

When two Canadian teams face off, the refs have no clear agenda so they tend to do a piss poor job of reffing the game. This last CGY VS EDM game, I don't think any team was really favored. I saw missed calls on both teams. Crossckecking on Calgary's first goal setting up a 2 on 1 which resulted in a short handed goal for Calgary. There's no way the refs didn't see that. I'm not going to bother listing them all, but I'll say if you're going to call a 4 min high sticking call for drawing blood on one team then it should be called on both. Why should an Edmonton player get away with the same offence just because Calgary has a lead. Why should the ref get to decide calls like that based on the score. It's utter crap and totally manipulates the flow of the game. In the last 4 games I've watched, in two of them the announcers have said to each other "well if you're going to call that on one team than you should call it on both". They're not from calls that the reffs didn't see and that's why I say its manipulating the game. Now I'll be the first to admit that the Refs have a tough job to do. But having a hidden agenda makes it a lot tougher. I hate to break it to Gary Bettman but there's never going to be any Michael Jordans or Tiger Woods in hockey. Sure if Wayne Gretzky went to Disney Land there might be a few Canadians there that might recognize him. You can't make people love hockey its never going to be in the same league as baseball, football, or basketball in the lives of mainstream Americans. Why do I watch, well for the same reason as Rehsifylf. Every once in a while you watch a game that no matter who wins, you walk away saying "man that's what hockey is all about". -

I'm going to send a letter to Bettman and request 2 more officials for every Flame's game. I don't think its fair for the other teams to face off against them with 10 players on the ice. -

Well I am totally shocked that you would think I was talking about you RoFL. This might be a fly fishing forums but this is a hockey thread and reffing is part of hockey.
