I hate Calgary more and more every day that I live here!
-
I'm pretty sure if we tried hard enough we could have an FFC member in every single issue of that magazine.
We could start adding "Fly Fish Calgary Member So and So" when we start our stories...
-
AWESOME, they published it!?!?!
Hahaha, i didn't even tell taylor i sent it in..you're famous now my friend
can't wait to see that one
Even the bit about the girlfriend.. and they added a funny little comment to it!
-
Gorgeous fish Taylor.. and nice story Brent!!
(That bully is more deserving of the Readers Showcase prize than the guy that won it IMO..)
-
Absolutely beautiful ... ... (sorry.. I have a mirror beside my computer).
Amazing pictures!!
-
I love Brook Trout.
-
Sweet!
I sure wish my 4Runner wasn't stolen and wrecked last week.. even though it's going through insurance it still kinda screws up the budget!

I love Brook Trout.

Bigfoot or not,
The full sized landscape shot is very, very cool.
It looks like Death Valley. I love how you can see the wind shaped dunes and the layered rock formations. Geological process that you see on earth, but on a different planet!!!
If only the martians had heeded the scientists advice and worked to stop climate change... the fishing could have been awesome (especially when humans would have introduced brook trout).
No doubt man!! Pretty amazing when you stop and think about it... that these pictures we're looking at are being sent to us from a completely different planet!

Is there an entrance fee for the expo?
-
heh heh.. aren't you a joker!
Funny how they said it's causing a stir though... it's kind of neat that it's shaped that way, but it just looks like a rock outcropping to me.

Twice last year, none this year.

Birchy, if you can, take in Jim's presentation on the Bow. Free ( I think). I saw/heard it twice and it is excellent with a great slide show. Own all the books and will add the new one saturday.
Where can I take it?
-
Hopefully I'll get to meet him at the Expo this weekend.
-
I got a new Pflueger Trion 1934 for my 3 weight this summer and I love it. Haven't actually caught a fish on it yet though!
-
Picked up Blue Ribbon Bow and Fly Fishing Western Trout Streams at the library on Saturday.
Just finished Blue Ribbon Bow last night... excellent book. I think I'll have to buy it for sure.
I particularly had a good chuckle when I read how casting large streamers in the wind can present some unique challenges.. and then he went on to describe how a buddy of his was just leaning in to a "underwear ripping cast" when he felt his streamer get caught behind him and turned around to see "the unluckiest skunk in the world come tumbling down the bank with a #2 wooly bugger stuck in his nose". LOL
Starting Western Trout Streams tonight..
-
I'd be willing to pay more for sure. Provided we see the things a few of you mentioned already.. more C.O.'s, better protection of the fisheries, etc. Nothing more frustrating than calling in some poachers on the Bow and hearing that the nearest C.O. is in Cochrane (personal experience)!
-
For the record Brent Krahn will not be a flame next season. Yo
They need to trade Krahn.. he's been in the system for what? 6 years now? Still hasn't cracked the lineup! I'm sure there's some teams that would give him a shot.
-
Aw c'mon Snakeman, it takes major athletic ability to sit on a quad lol.
And ya, why is BC so far ahead when it comes to fishing and environmental stuff. Or maybe the question is, why is Alberta so damn far behind?
Tree Huggers vs. Rednecks...
Need I say more?
-
Problem is.. 4Runners are currently selling anywhere from 2K - 5K HIGHER than what the Canadian Black Book "book value" is. This is what I'm worried about.
-
haven't laughed that hard in a long time!!! Snakeman's right tho.. urban legend.

That's too bad!

Yeesh!! Gorgeous broonies!!

Well Birchy atleast the bastards were dumb enough to drive into Canmore in a snowstorm cause it dumped out here and that likely helped put em in the ditch...... I figure its better they crashed and you got the minor satisfaction of knowing they didn't get off scot free........ Wish I had seen the accident on my way up to sunshine today. Any idea where the crash took place as I did see some evidence of someone ripping around in median between the divided highway from canmore and banff.
Nope... just know that the Canmore RCMP dealt with it and my 4Runner is at their impound lot there..
