  1. I will be old school and show you the proper river etiquette and I will pull my boat off shore,

     

    Didnt on another post, someone say you came down a back channel on them? The 'old school etiquette' would dictate that you never float back channels, and to work them from the bottom (or park on the outside and walk back in), such that you never come down a channel into someone.

     

    As many guys there are on the oars, there is an equivalent amount of etiquette rules. Not everyone is going to follow your version of it, so why get bothered?

     

    Though, stronger education would be nice. Maybe signs at a boat launch or something

  2. Aren't the the one and same Jay Jones aka humblefisherman who posts videos all over youtube with easily recognizable backgrounds? Correct me if I am wrong becuase I got that information from someone else, but if that is you far be it for you to speak out about hotspotting. Again, if that's not you I apologize,

     

    No.

    No contention, just giving an example.

     

    BBT, read whataniceguy's post. Pretty well how i feel

  3. Spot given:

     

    We actually hooked 4 fish total that were quite large on Sunday. two broke off, one fell off, and one found it's way to hand. Plus a bunch of other interesting fish! Did you guys manage to find any browns yet? I know they are in there, just very uncommon except a bit farther down (sunnyview)

     

     

    This took me 2 seconds to find, and is about as specific as you can get without drawing a map. I'm not going to go through you 3500 posts to find any other ones

     

    Why can't we live vicariously through photos, without mention of river names?

  4. Why do people feel like they have to say where they were fishing? Say you fished the Bow, what do you get out of telling the forum you fished the Bow, or Oldman? Why not just say "got out for a little fishing, heres some photos". Mentioning any rivers is not required, and if people were interested they could private message you and get a response. Why does it matter at all where you were fishing that day, the only one it should concern is yourself!

  5. I agree with Grinr. Show pictures, or whatever. But indicating where, what and anything else is not required, and not doing any benefit for yourself or the fishery. If someone recognizes the spots, its because they've already been there before. Want to know the conditions of a river of interest? Post but ask for replies in PMs. Need help with bugs? Buy a BOOK...Theres 3500 members on this forum, plus guests. That's a lot of hotspotting that can occur. Spend a minute on the 'fishing report' area, and you'll likely feel depressed. The handholding is insane.

     

    I'm sure that there has been at least 1 moment for every member on this forum that they thought 'oh no, don't mention that spot'. So why not eliminate it entirely?

     

    time to kill the 'fishing report' area.

  6. You were on the Cowichan during steelhead season, hardly a quiet river. You are expected to (and you should) move downstream after every cast if you're fishing a fly rod. I would expect they were getting a lot more frustrated about the dude from AB not taking steps as they waited to get in.

     

     

    "There was three of us fishing one 50 ft run for maybe 30 min". A 50 ft run should not take nearly that long, no wonder they were annoyed.

  7. Sounds a lot like the guys that say that the fish don't want to eat dries, when they're nymphing all day. Hard to say that fish aren't into something unless your doing it every day. Indicators and eggs will always outfish a swung fly if everything else was equal. Fish are designed to kill eggs that they see.

     

    Fishing an indi would never give the best part of steel fishing, the fish that hits the fly at Mach 10 and just keeps going, and is gone before you've figured out what happened

  8. So you want to kill all the otters that are killing the brown trout, yet you don't want to protect their spawning gravel from being stepped on by the ever increasing number of anglers?

     

    Who would not want to protect the future of the rivers? Close the Bow from 22x or Burnsmead Bridge upstream in the winter...let the fish have a break! Open it back up in April

  9. Then take a photo with the bear while trying to hold back your smirks?

     

    Sorry, but that doesn't add up. They got their photo for the mantle, a story in the paper. sounds like motive

     

    There is no way to tell which story is truth, but I find it hard to believe they have a very close brush with death and they get a picture with it like proud hunters with their great kill.

     

    It's more pathetic that this is news

  10. You can't go upstream of the bridge. Take down the registration number off the bow of the boat, take a photo if possible with background in view, and call the city police (not RAPP). The guy in the jet will have a nice visit from the cops. Be good to keep them on their toes.

     

     

    Lots of water for jets below carseland with virtually no one, not sure why they need to be on police to Mac every day, with the drifters and Pontoons.

  11. Better option than the forum is to call who you're looking to go with (or check with a multitude) and see what they would suggest.A good Guide will cater to your wants, and an honest one will go out of their way to tell you what to look for. Also, don't worry about the floats, and let your guide decide on that day. Having a preconceived notion could put you on a stretch that isnt fishing well.

     

    Certain guides and shops do cater more to the nymphing or dry fly or streamer crowd. Do your homework.

     

     

    I'd also say don't book well ahead for spring trips (late April/May, especially for dry fly fishing) due to inconsistent weather and fishing. Can be sweet or can be shot.

  12. On the topic of Pontoons, Please do not setup your boat IN the launch. Every day on the river there is nothing more annoying then a pontooner taking up the launch as they are blowing up and strapping everything in. Really bad at city launches. Almost as annoying is thr guys unpacking their vehicle into their driftboat when at the launch vs the parking lot.

     

    Just a simple tip to keep the river a lot friendlier
