Short notice, but if you like trout bum diaries, then you might be interested to know of a screening of new AEG material. Check the website, it looks great. Not sure which film they are showing, but it looks like it will be new material. http://www.flyfishingfilmtour.com/Schedule.asp Tickets available online Wednesday, March 12, 2008 The Uptown Screen and Stage 612 8th AVE SW Calgary

My gas chev gets almost the same gas milage with the camper on as with it off... ALMOST. However, I don't think it matters too much what you choose. Gas or diesel each have benefits. Diesel runs at lower RPM most of the time, and so they tend to last longer. Diesel may produce more HP at lower RPM, but gas can rev higher and produce more total HP. Parts are alot more expensive for diesel engines (fuel pump for example) but SOME are pretty long lasting engines. Most gas engines don't last as long. If I had to choose, I would go with a diesel as they tend to last longer, and slightly better fuel economy. Paired with a standard transmission and 3.73 gearing for a nice cruising speed. .02

I fished for a few hours on my way through highlevel/manning area once. I caught a few dozen walley and some mooneye or goldeye on streamers... Seems that "fishy" looking water has lots of fish in it, or I was really lucky and hit a few schools of fish. Also saw 1 mother bear with 3 tiny cubs (black bears) while fishing, so be aware. Where abouts are you heading? If you get a chance go into the woobbuffalo park for a look. It is spectacular and you will see all kinds of wildlife if you keep quiet. J5

Check with Vic at STS guiding if hes doing any sturgeon fishing in the fraser at that time. They have a REALLY nice jet boat that can get right into the canyon looks like a really fun way to spend the day. and the fish are pretty big too.

Thanks for the contact fella's, next time I am up that way I will check it out. J5

Howdy, anyone know where I can get a pair of matching wooden reel handles and hardware somewhere in town? thanks, J5

Get one of the alarms that phones your cell phone, and get yourself a nice peice of 1x1. Scum bags stole my battery once... good thing it only slowed me down from getting to work, if I had been going fishing I would have flipped.

UofC... Hey brent what chem courses you taking? Student for life, and enjoying it.

Interesting read. Like the finding that foam indicators spooked the fish more than yarn indicators. I figure that the popular spots on the bow are so heavily nymphed that using a corkie indicator puts the fish down.

Ok, sorry to bug you again, but just to be sure... if this was tied with white biots, that would be a prince then? Anyways, just thought I would ask so I could learn something. Cheers, Jon

vs The reason I am pointing this out is because I find it funny that someone would add shell back to a famous fly and give lessons on how to tye it. Maybe I will start tying the Jonny-5-Curlies caddis (it has a dark and bushy wing)

why not call it a prince?

Yo Al, if it helps to get Sean around, tell him I'll buy him a coors lite every time I go ;-)

Maybe you should hang up the fly rod some days and sharpen up the old auger... Sounds safer!

I may not have personality, but you're ugly.

Wondering when its going to start up? Don't want to have tie at home, and not drink beer and bs ect... Anyone know?

Nice fish, nice pics. I have the same rod but one weight up.

I tend to think that the fish in the popular spots are a little bit smarter... Maybe they start to associate indicators and SJWs with the unpleasant feeling of a lip peircing and being held in the air... But one guy in a spot doesn't seem like much pressure. 10 guys covering the same water in a day (the poo hole for example) probably teaches the fish to be more careful. J5 over and out.

Boooooo

Hey Biff, what section of the bow did you get that chinook on Nice fish! Bow river brown in beautiful winter colours Some say cutt-bow, I say pure cuttie. little creek-big brown My best brown so far... we'll see what I get this winter thought.

Had a bit of time to fish yesterday, so I hit the bow in town... Long story short, late start, not much action, lost my haemostats, and dropped a small box of nymphes in the river (talk about bad luck eh?). Last cast of the day hooked in to this scrappy 16ish incher. Made me feel better

Wow, exciting. Well, at least your car is not too bad. Advice: don't use steering wheel locks. It takes about 2 seconds to cut pieces out of the steering wheel and take them off (bolt cutters). Get one that applies the brake pedal. At least that way, they can't tow it very easily (some people steal cars with tow trucks).

So many favorites, but the best ones were salmon fishing on the sunshine coast. We used to go to this little cabin out there a couple times a year when the springs were around, and we would go to the gas station, get tonnes of gas, load up our live well with at least 50 herring and mooch live herring on the tide changes. I remember my first spring and thinking the thing was going to pull me in. It was about 25 pounds I was about 10 years old, so it was a big fish. Anyways most of the fish we caught were dog fish, and I remember one time I got a spring and he got dogfish (not a good thing mind you), and I felt sorry for him so I tried to cheer him up by telling him "Well, you got the biggest dogfish" Still funny today I always found the ocean to be fascinating. Sometimes we would see millions of jellyfish, or whales, or have seals steal our fish (I found that fun at the time). Great times. With all this money in the province, the government should build an ocean!

Anyone used any of the river otter pontoon boats? Are they safe on the bow? The look good and only weigh 32 pounds!
