Do You Even Speak To Poachers Anymore?
Swede replied to BowLurker's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
I don't doubt that you and most people on this forum would still call in without the reward feature. -
Do You Even Speak To Poachers Anymore?
Swede replied to BowLurker's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
I really don't get why you should get or expect a reward for reporting a poacher. Isn't it better to turn down the reward and keep the money in place for more enforcment. -

Very nice photo's

Its just the norm now i think. I've used Korkers for quite awhile. The wife's did the exact same thing after 3 years. we glued them back on and she still uses them up in the mountains. My first set are still going but i think my friend I gave them too did have to re glue the front toe The wife manly uses Simms boots with no visible wear after 2 seasons. Am still using Korkers because 3 years is about all I expect out of a pair of wading boots. The reason I say its just the norm is just about every thing you buy now seems to break after a few years no matter how good you treat it. Its just a free world money making gimmick it seems.

Fishing Reports. How Do You Feel About Them?
Swede replied to scel's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
I could really careless myself. I do what I want when I want how I want. Seriously though am a lot like most of the posters I like to figure out things on my own. There's people every where I've ever fished I still catch fish so I don't really care one way or another about peoples reports. -
Ya I thought the same the instant i seen the picture, Palmer fish.

Jeff Wilson Memorial Bench (Installed)
Swede replied to ggp's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
That's awesome I never did get to fish with Jeff .I had actually just traded him some info on foot access to the South Ram for a day on bullshead with him and we never did get to take those trips. One of the few people i actually trusted to openly give up a few secrets too without actually getting to meet him. -
Lawn Experts Please Help
Swede replied to bigfry's topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
Its got nothing to do with where you live its just common decency to respect your neighbor, . I've got a pie shaped lot and my front yard on one side is a shared lawn without a fence. When we moved in I made sure I cut my grass the exact same same height and on the same day as my neighbor. that's for me but its just common decency and nothing else. Something that's strangle lacking in our society nowadays. -

I just pay enviromasters to take care of my lawn .Apparently its a organic and environmentally friendly way to care for your lawn. Now honestly am not sure what they put on my lawn but i don't ever get one weed on my lawn itself. If you seen the close in front of our house that the city of Red Deer takes care of you would realize what a miracle that is. -
Windows 10, What Do You Think?
Swede replied to fishinglibin's topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
I've got a smoking computer top of the line that i use for mainly gaming and a few fishing forums. I ordered it with window 7 64 bit. So after been bugged repeatedly to upgrade to windows 10 I finally did and am glad i did. Its twice the computer it was. But I think its because its a newer top of the line machine with all the bells and whistles and windows 10 takes advantage of that fact better than the older OS did. -
Guys I'm not familiar with mallard point or bankside where exactly is this? I usually just park my boat in position to fish what I want. But i do stop at some small islands and fish on foot, never noticed any sign's on any of them.

Does anyone know who or where you can seek help if you feel unfairly treated by a program like UI. Seriously I've never in my life been lied to and strung along more than these clowns. I find it funny I am suppose to be this honest upstanding citizen when there the biggest bunch of liars ive ever had the displeasure of been around. Thank god everything we own is paid for and I have a good savings account.

That's a good question jpinkster. I kind of like Don's idea myself. I don't know i spent all day out west of Bowden by Eagle Hill co-op working on my bosses farm and never seen one crow or magpie all day. I've been monitoring a few places in the states where they have been complaining about the exact same thing and there pissed that all there songbirds have disappeared, So will see what they do. if its one thing i know about the US is if they have a problem they try to correct it right away. I highly doubt that all see anything done in my lifetime in Canada.

I dont know whats nicer that fish or your net. The spotting on both are killer.

Jesus christ kid use your head. who the hell said that besides people are to busy shooting each other to worry about a few magpies. You actually think we hunted them in town . You can hunt deer but do people do it in towns and cities. Oh wait apparently in calgary they do. Anyone remember that idiot that killed that elk at the zoo with a bow years ago?

I was never arguing about what caused there population to increase. what am saying is we've conditioned and changed there whole behaviour by allowing them free range on our cities and towns. I don't know if any of you guys have ever targeted and hunted magpies but when i was younger we never had a problem finding them, but you had to go out of town to do it . They where smart enough to stay away from humans when people could be trusted to use a little common sense. . Back in the day if you could get within 100 feet of a magpie to get a shot you where being dam sneaky. Now days a magpie will sit in a tree 20 feet above you and look down at you and taunt you because they have no fear of us anymore.If its on the ground that's a different story but there very smart and learn quickly. Anyways can I tell you a funny story. I have a bichon frise and if I say crow he will run to the back door and chase any crow out of the yard. Magpies are smart enough to just sit in a tree above him and taunt him, So I see a crow on the lawn and sick my little dog on him well all be damned if the crow didn't have something wrong with its wing and couldn't fly . well the dog gets about 6 feet from the crow and stops and barks like crazy cause hes never seen one that hasn't flown away right away..Anyways the wife runs out with the broom and is trying to keep to two apart and open the back gate to shoo the crow out of the yard. Took her about 5 minutes . I was in the kitchen rolling on the floor laughing it was so funny to watch lol
