When did fish get lungs to hold air to 'spit' out bubbles? They release the air through their gills or mouth after sucking in some from eating from the surface.

Went for a walk yesterday and saw 3 pairs spawning, not making test redds. I was not trying to start anything, but if you're fishing in the city with streamers at this time of the year you are going to run into spawning and spawned out fish. If you do, it's probably a better option to quickly release and not spend any extra time to get a photo, especially since they're really not photo quality fish when they're so skinny. If you have to fish the city, stay out of any areas with smaller gravel and do not fish tailouts. Better option, go fish at Police or downstream, the rainbows are getting their feedbag on for winter.

completely a spawning/spawned out brown...they don't need the exercise or the photos at this time of the year.

Brown = trout Rainbow = trout Lake "Trout" = char Bull "Trout" = char The title is fairly apparent that it states what is the largest TROUT out of the bow. You would figure that with 18 people having caught trout over 30", at least one would have a photo of it

Sounds counter intuitive to go through 5 pairs of waders in 4 years and not want to upgrade to something that will last longer, and in turn save you money in the long run. If you want to stay dry, then buck up. You can save 50 bucks on Simms waders right now anyway

Cool video, but what's with beaching a fish when a guy was ready with a cradle?

pretty typical behaviour of a fish that color (and location). nicely done

Both Country Pleasures and Fish Tales have guides, as well as being site sponsors.

i can't be the only one that finds it funny that there are 8 people with fish over 30", yet not a single picture. I guess everyone has a brain aneurysm when trying to get the camera to work when the fish is 30" or over!

It's rather ironic that you're bringing up the Albertans going into BC to guide. How many BC guides come into Alberta to save their rod days when the Elk isn't fishing that great.

27 bucks for a season of fishing. Gonna ruin your pension on that big sum....

Do yourself a very large favour and go buy any of the Chasing Silver dvds...probably the best tarpon fly-angler in the world in the best tarpon movie ever made. http://www.howardfilms.com/chasingsilverTrailer2.html http://www.howardfilms.com/chasingsilverTrailer4.html

Might as well be throwing gear if your fishing for tarpon at those depths. The best thing about tarpon are the way they eat the fly and go nuts in 2 feet of water.

So it's not really flats fishing for tarpon there than? Gotcha

cool video, but if it actually took you an hour fourty to land that fish, you guys need to learn how to apply some pressure!!

Gord @ westwinds usually has some Oar stuff. However, there is a reason you see very few boats with them...hardly required.

Lots of eggs and indicators and complaining. Not a single footage of a dry fly (did they fish one, ever?). Pretty much what i expected.

BEP..yikes. $200-300?

that a hint of whats to come Dave?

Ahh yes, Kinsey. Why so special? First steel?

You're comparing apples to oranges here. A floating all-around line vs a sink tip (that is made for streamer fishing). If you're looking for a sink tip line, the streamer express will do it far better than a GPX with a sink tip looped on. What are the odds that the companies that are promoting a line as a streamer line, are going to outperform an "All Around" Line for streamer fishing?? You'll get by with the GPX, but if you want a devoted streamer line, then buy one.

they shatter if you give them a chance to freeze, such as walking from hole to hole in below zero temp

yeah it's pretty clever...a bodkin

a handful isn't much. It does happens not all the time, but enough to make me think twice. I tie on metal tubes now

Love to know where you get the 'prime' age. Most players peak around 27 for their skating, but they get smarter...Most would say a winger peaks around 30
