I'll say $200.......looks like a beauty rod and for a great cause. My grandfather has had a brush with the disease and is still going strong 10 years later. Its great that you are able to raise some money for the organization......its just too bad they can't find another way to do the checkups.......I've been told by my wife to go and get it checked but haven't had the guts to buckle down and get in there. Maybe that'll be my new years resolution.......maybe......

We just had a 3rd kid and found the second row bench seat a huge pain.....kids are young and are still in boosters, etc. I would highly recommend 2nd row captains chairs so you can get them into the rear seat a little easier.....but, not sure what your exact needs are.

Yep.....just traded mine in on a new truck though.....your a month too late or I could have cut you a super bargain. I had an 06 Eddie Bauer. We used it to pull a 6000lb trailer.....it has tons of juice. Interior was pretty solid as well. We had a small water leak that would pop up ocassionally on the lift gate. But other than that is was a nice ride. For that kind of money I would give it a thumbs up. Definitely not easy on gas though.

Ya beedhead.....there are a few monsters I've seen around the hat as well.......don't want to say exactly where as that might tip someone off as to a connection with another number on that list......maybe #4.........

I spent approx. 20 days at BH this year and noticed a couple of things throughout the year. First off I never caught a fish over 20" although I had alot that were 18" +. http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/style_emot...ridinghorse.gif That would be close to 200 fish in total if my math is correct. NO WISECRACKS ABOUT MY LACK OF SIZE. Through the entire year I never kept a fish from there as I don't think that a trophy lake should be depleted.....thats not what it is there for in my opinion. The only point in which I think a fish should be kept from a trophy lake is when it is near the end of its life. I'd rather see people taking keepers than finding them floating belly up. The difficulty then lies in the fact that both dip's and trip's have been stocked in the past which would equate to different life spans and sizes for their life expectency. If the stocking would be relegated to just trips I would expect that we could use 24"+ as the size reg and there would be several more over 20" to be caught and released. I am making some assumptions there as I am not a biologist by any means. But that would be my ideal situation of the growth rates and stocking numbers could be worked out to that end result. It seemed to me that there was not a shortage of scuds as I had several episodes of cleaning them out of my boots and waders. Maybe there were less than usual as I don't have any past years at BH for a reference. Even though I am a bit of a newbie my mindset is based on leaving things the way they were before I arrived. It frustrated me to see guys running to their vehicles with "something" in the cooler. Some of the sideways glances made me believe that they were smaller is size and larger in quantity than show in the regs. I have no problem with the ocassional fish landing on someone's dinner table....however I think that if we are looking for a true trophy lake with monsters, than the regs could be tightened up and other lakes should be the choice of someone fishing for dinner. There are 2 other lakes not too far away that are known for smaller fish and more of them.....stocking could be and probably is to some degree set with a higher keeper rate. All that being said, the fishing at BH is still very good and typically produces very well compared to other lakes I have been on. Again, my frame of reference is not huge.....however after this past season I cannot wait until opening day next year!
