Thanks guys! Going to look at some vices this weekend.

Hi everyone, I am looking at buying a new vice. I am tying larger streamers(pike, bull trout flies)now and my old vice is not doing well(Apex). I think a rotary vice would be good and I am leaning towards the norvise but before I spend that money I thought I should ask the guys that know! So looking for any advice or opinions Thanks Lance

Awesome info guys! Can you still buy the TG-4 locally or is it all the TG-5? I mostly found the 5 in stock in stores with the 4 online with limited inventory. Thanks for all the info

Hey everyone, I have Recently seen some of the photos that grace these forums and I am extremely impressed with the quality and ability I see here. My photos pale by comparison. I am using a 7 year old Pentax optio W90. I know it's probably more me than the cameras fault but I am curious about what cameras people are using. I did a search and found some threads from 2014 and older but I am looking for a refresher on the topic. Besides the camera model, any other advice is welcome too. I don't want to "pose" a fish, just couple of quick shots, maybe underwater would be great. I just seem to screw it up. Thanks

Perfect! Thank you!

Hey Guys, I have a 11' zodiac boat that I inherited, it has an old electric motor but I was thinking of purchasing a new 4stroke outboard for it. It has a rating up to 20hp. I know certain lakes have speed or motor size restrictions(ie electric only) but where can you find that info? I remember the fishing guide used to have some info but no longer seems to be there. I am really looking at lakes like Upper and Lower Kananaskis, Spray and Maligne lake in jasper. Thanks

Thanks guys! Hi Dick, sorry I missed your reply earlier. We stayed at the riverside campground and the st marys river runs right past it. I caught fish in the river along the campground, I did catch bigger fish the farther away I got from the campground. I recommend driving to the bottom of the hill in the campground and walking from there. It is mostly flat there and the paths are well marked. The river by the campground had some pools, riffles and enough runs with boulders to keep me interested and the cuts were in all the usual places. Hope it helps a bit Lance

Hi again guys, Thanks for all the advice, I switched to Chrome and all is good. Here's hoping MrBotangles got things figured out too..

Hi guys, I have been out rambling around Alberta and BC, thought I would post a few photos I thought were cool. St Marys River BC, was there during the 36C to 39C days in July. St Mary's Cutty, worth the extra $20 a day? I had 2 days of 20+ fish each day, so probably money well spent. Caught this guy when he tried to eat the cutty that rose to my dry and he lined the dropper, was tough on a 3wt. At least the cutty got free, he looked pretty terrorized at first. Fished the bow in the NW the other day and found this guy hiding in the shade, definitely one of the bigger Burbs I have seen up there.

I have tried to use the Link tab, it pops up a window, I fill it out, click ok or cancel or the x in the corner, and then it never disappears and nothing happens for me.

Same problem here... IE 11 and Win 8.1

Hi Yak, I checked the Alberta Parks website and a lot of campgrounds don't open until the middle of may. I found that Lundbreck Falls campground is open May 1st so maybe that will work? I would call ahead too as sometimes the dates are off due to snow,flood etc. Tried to post a link for you but I do not seem to be able to at this point.

Hey Guys, I did a bit of walking in the forestry this year, not as much as I would like but everyone knows how that goes. Here a couple of shots. This is a Cutt I caught on Aug 16 this year And I believe I caught the same fish last year on Sept 2 ,2012 And just some other random shots And my new fishing partner...

Hi Castnblast, My Camera is a Pentax Optio 90.

Hey guys, I was looking through a few photos from last year and missing summer time...
