So one day the koala was just chillin up in the gumtree blowin a joint. Along came the lizard he looked up saw the koala sittin in the gum tree, and ask "hey koala what you doing up there. the koala answered "smokin a joint come on up and join me" So up climbs the lizard, and they sit down and and commence smokin the afternoon away. after several hours the lizard get a bad case of the pasties. looks at the koala and says"man I'm thirsty, I'm gunna go down to the river and have a drink. after 15 minutes of staggering to the river in his extremly blasted state. He bends down and falls in the water, getting swept down stream. After struggling for a few minutes in the water he is rescued by a croc. once the croc gets him back to shore he asks the lizard how he fell in the water. so the lizard starts telling the story of how he was up in the gum tree smokin up with the koala. the croc stops him there and says "hey hey hey, a koala smokin up, damn I gotta see this" so after a short walk in bush the croc gets to the gum tree and looks up hoping to see a stone koala. At the same time the koala looks down and says "shiiiiiat, lizard how much water did you drink"

I was just given a full mink. are there any patterns that use this?

Oldman, livingstone, racehorse creek, dutch creek, highwood, sheep, cataract creek, fallen timber creek, red deer river, James river, raven river, ram river. reaally too many to list. the trunk rd runs from hwy 3 in coleman up north to past 16 I believe. that is the great thing about it if one river is not fishing well, move to the next 5 mins down the road. www.rockymountaincamping.ca any of their campsites will put you in the thick of it.

That water is alot easier to read than the bow and on most days you will see the cutts rising, for flies stop in at fish tales or south bow they will set you up but safe bets are drys stimmies size 8-12 Elk hair caddis size 10 - 16 adams size 12 - 18 royal wulff 10 - 16 nymphs beaded pheasant tails 12 -16 gold ribbed hairs ear 12-16 copper johns 10 - 16 streamers (go big) clousers minnows (black, olive, red) Zonkers (white, natural) wooly buggers (black, brown, white) muddlers (brown, wine) dry and nymph fish up stream, switch to the streamers for the trip back to car for some bully action. if you can carry 2 rods (1 3-4 wt for cutties, and a 6-7wt for bulls)this way you can have both rigged for a quick switch if you see a bull while fishing for cutts. if not a 6wt will cover both situations. have fun take a tonne of pics.

Sounds and looks like an epic day. gotta head that way soon, but can never seem to pass the crow

sweet done

If no tiger then i'll take Phil Micklelson in his place.

maybe somthing like a trout framed in a landing net.

yes agree,

nope not a computer glitch I am seeing the same thing. looks good, I like Teck

for the month of July. first gotta hit Stampede. second find a backroads map book, find the forestry trunk road. Drive up and down it, see water fish it. You could not posible properly fish all the water there in a month but would be worth a try. Teck

So 4 steamers eh. sounds good i'll go in how about one of each: a nymph, a dry, a streamer, a terresrial. Teck If this goes my picks. Tiger Woods Vijay Singh Paul Casey Geoff Ogilvy Zach Johnson

Awesome fish, and the smile says it all. only problem with that hold is that on a hawg like that it could cause quite a bit of lower back strain, and maybe a trip to the RMT, to ease the strained muscles. Congrats Teck

"Well I had the big "opening" today LOL... ehhemm so I'll be outta commision till friday but on friday I'm gonna go hit some water near home here." when i had the boys trimmed i used the two beer method of pain medication, sat watched some war movies with two beer a cold one in my hand and a cold one sitting between my legs. the worst part 4months later my wife had a syst on her overy and had to have a hysterectamy(sp?) anyhow so my pain and suffering was never needed any how.

My waders are put away, wore them bellyboating at bullshead last weekend, but not it will be wet wading till mid september to october.

I use that combination and have not had a lot of breakage issues.

Damn Dave, now I want to move to Cochrane, and you think convincing my wife of a new rod was hard

funny how 1 fish can cancel out a month of skunk.

NIce fish, and yeah that dude has kind of the Sam Elliott thing goin on with the Stache. Teck

I Agree with Sundance, tell any casino/hotel that you have 10 drunks willing to drink and play, and they will cut a deal, and comp. ou guys craploads. Had a boss once that everyyear would take 25g's buy chips and go vacation in vegas gamble 5 grand away and bring the rest back home. the casino, would comp him tickets the room and a good protion of the flight. Casino's will do alot to get you sitting at one of their tables, with a large wad of cash.

Congrats, so finally there will be a cop that understands that "the Hatch is on" is a valid reason to speed. All the best in school
