The Roughriders.

Average cap hit of $4.02 million and a "no movement" clause.. might be tough.. unless a different team wants to pay $4 million for a "smashing Hemsky's head into the glass from behind" specialist....

1.7km as the crow flies, according to Google Earth (provided that's the right lake I'm looking at):

So you meant to go past where you were to the emerald blue lake I'm assuming? Doh! Looked like an amazing adventure nonetheless!

It's been awhile since I posted this fish: Here's a 22" rainbow for better reference of the above..

I voted right. Left one looks too much like a guy on the crapper..

"The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be… unnatural."

I'm wondering what 'captnhighliner' has for sale...

I hate cake. Unless it's ice cream cake..

That looks Uber fun..

My in-laws had a good one that apparently worked well for my wife when she was in her early teenage years... Her dad threaded a rope through a cinder block and wrote the word "attitude" on it.. whenever she was disrespectful to them, she got to wear the "attitude block" around her neck for awhile. LOL

I always share. Doesn't bother me in the least. Plus I figure that there will be days when I'm the one that's asking the question. As far as putting in the time and effort in order to have that knowledge to always catch fish.. I don't think that telling a person what's working at that exact time is really going to make a difference. It will work for them that day, then when they go back the next day it won't work and they still won't be able to catch fish. Whereas you will, because of your knowledge. There really is no substitute for experience on the water.. telling someone what's working isn't going to "fast track" them to the level that you're at. IMO. PS - I really wish I was at the same level as guys like yourself!! haha. But I'm only in year #4 and have a LONG ways to go.

Any updates on the re-scheduled dates Dutchie/SilverDoctor?

It's a thing of beauty isn't it?

Yep.. I gotta get out again!

I witnessed this on the way home yesterday too. There was a bit of a "commotion" on the corner of 33rd Ave. & Crowchild Tr. SW at the top of the ramp. When I rounded the corner there was a lady laying on the ground on her side.. she was either unconscious or sleeping. Two other people there helping her and I'm assuming waiting for a ambulance.

Just for the record.. my guy wasn't downtown, and he wasn't a bum. 34th Ave. in Marda Loop, regular Joe just like you or me, laying unconscious on the sidewalk with bike beside him. Very obvious that only one of two things happened... crashed or hit by vehicle.

You can always call RAP. # is on the back of your angling license.

I witnessed something very similar with my own eyes 2 summers ago. It was during Stampede and I was going to pick up my wife and her cousin from the grounds when I saw a guy laying unconscious on the sidewalk with his bicycle beside him. I figured he had crashed, or gotten hit. There was a gentleman walking down the sidewalk towards the unconscious person, so I stopped and turned around to watch and see if he would help.. if he didn't, then I would go back and help. What I saw absolutely blew my mind. The unconscious man was laying across the sidewalk, so the guy walking by literally STEPPED OVER TOP OF HIM, and kept right on walking. I couldn't believe it! So I did a u-turn and went back to help. Checked for breathing and a pulse right away, and he was still alive. Tried waking him up by talking to him and smacking his cheeks. No response. Called 9-1-1. Waited for the ambulance to show up and explained the situation to the paramedics. They were able to revive him while I was still there by doing the same thing I did, except rougher. Once they had enough information to figure out that I hadn't actually hit the guy myself, they let me go and thanked me for calling it in. Turns out the guy was just very drunk and had "fallen and couldn't get up". I believe the paramedic called it a "stampede special" or something along those lines. haha To this day, I still cannot get over the fact that the other guy just stepped over top of this man and kept walking! So as appalling as it is, the above article didn't surprise me at all.

This is what should happen every single time they catch someone poaching. Forget the "warnings" crap. If a person had to pay 3 grand out of their pocket every time, I highly doubt there would be very many repeat offenders!

Looks like $349/person and $2 per pound of gear. http://www.icefieldheli.com/fishing/index.htm

Disgusting. Some people are pigs.

cdock doesn't even know it yet, but him and I are doing this trip next year or the year after!

.. and the aliens from reading your mind ..
