Posted that question on the Fly BC website awhile back.. got this response: QUOTE (birchy @ Apr 18 2008, 01:42 PM) One more question.. does BC have anything like "Barry Mitchell's Alberta Fishing Guide"?? The Musso brothers produce a series of map books that cover a fair portion of the province and they have one on the Kootenays. That is pretty much it. BC Outdoors used to produce a map book that covered the whole province, but they gave it up a couple years ago. I did a lot of the work on the detail but you can't cover the whole province in one book and make it anything more than general information. They dropped the ball when I suggested a more highly detailed bunch of map books. That was 3 years prior to the Musso Brothers and the rest is history. About all I can add is that almost every stream in the Kootenays has trout in it. It's just a case of doing a litte searching to find the better ones. Nobody is going to tell a stranger about access to his "pet stream", unless the fishing guides are already offering trips there. I won't write about a system until the guides start working it. Then it's public information. So pretty much what Terry said..

Official Flames 2008/2043 Seasons Thread
birchy replied to SanJuanWorm's topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
Very well put. This hits the nail on the head. I actually had the chance to have a chat with Dean McAmmond one day before he got traded away again.. I brought up this incident and asked him "i'm sick of hearing how the media feels about it, how do you PLAYERS feel about it?" He basically said that "there seems to be an overall lack of respect between players in the NHL the last number of years, you just can't do stuff like that" BUT, he had no doubt that "Bertuzzi absolutely did NOT mean for it to happen the way it did", that "he's not that kind of guy". So that carried alot of weight in my opinion about the whole thing. I'm still of the opinion that the broken neck was actually not a result of the punch, or his head hitting the ice... but rather the dogpile of like 5-6 players on top of him after he was unconscious. Granted.. i'll concede the point that if Bertuzzi hadn't punched him, it never would've happened. -
Welcome to the board! Everyone will have lots of good things to say about the Pflueger Trion or President.. including myself.

Where To Buy A Mens Suit In Calgary?
birchy replied to chiasson's topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
If you want to go even cheaper.. check out International Clothier's in Chinook, or Pinstripes in the downtown mall. I've had suits from both that lasted me a good 3 years.. wearing them at least once a week. -
No doubt.. I'd work there for 100K/year.

Elbow River City Section In The Winter?
birchy replied to birchy's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
No worries.. it's not looking too promising for me right now anyways! -
Has anyone had any success in the winter on the Elbow between the Glenmore Reservoir and the Bow? Elbow River from Glenmore Reservoir downstream to Bow River CLOSED Apr. 1 to May 31 and Oct. 1 to Nov. 30 June 1 to Sept. 30 and Dec. 1 to Mar. 31– Trout limit 1 under 35 cm; All trout over 35 cm must be released; Mountain Whitefish limit 5 over 30 cm; Maggots are the only bait allowed and only in the river from Aug. 16 to Sept. 30. I'm itching to go out today but my wife might need our vehicle. I'm thinking I'll either get her to drop me off on the Bow somewhere or I'll walk to the Elbow..

Holy! Already? This winter hasn't been that bad actually.. knock on wood.

Why Fly Fishing Is Better Than Sex

And if you DO fall asleep.. the fish don't mind. -
Sick. So growing up on motocross bikes... the jump UP is not that far of a stretch IMO (still impressive). The jump down however... absolutely INSANE!!

Official Oilers 2008/2048 Season Thread
birchy replied to darrinhurst's topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
Yeah.. this is a sticky subject IMO. The guy was coach there for what, 7 years? They made the playoffs for the first 6 years, and then missed in the 7th.. and they immediately canned the guy. To me.. that's a whole lot better than what MacT is doing.. or isn't doing. But yes.. his age is a factor. Maybe we should see if Scotty Bowman will come back and coach them for a couple years?! Goldens.. probably. But we're thinking we'll give Rainy Ridge a try this time instead of Barnaby. -

I think MacT is going senile or something adc... I'm sorry Ayr, but I have to disagree as well. MacT needs to be canned at this point. Whether or not he's a good coach is irrelevant.. the team isn't playing for him anymore. Too many stupid decisions trying to "shake things up". Here.. have a read: http://www.oilersnation.com/2009/02/fire-craig-mactavish/ Oh.. and my vote for his replacement goes to Pat Quinn.
