Like pretty much everything in life.. I grumble to myself a bit, and then chalk it up as a "lesson learned". I'm new to this game as well, and have the reputation of being a "sponge" when it comes to learning. Every time out I learn something new, whether I'm catching fish or not. I've lost a few bigguns' this year so far, but each time I learn something.. I should have kept the rod tip higher, or I should have booked it down the shore to keep the fish from getting below me, or i should've re-tied that stupid knot! Those few times where you manage to put all that together and land that hawg.. wow, what an experience!! I've been at this since April, but man.. I'm 100% addicted! I love this game.

Awesome story man, thanks for sharing!

I know! What I can't get over is how SEAMLESS that photochop is!

Nice! What a dank. Like you said.. probably could've been handled better, but, sh*t happens to the best of us!

OMG!! Seems like when people are truly naive.. they never get hurt!

Some cool shots CDock and I got last year heading out to - and on the Highwood:

Serious? I don't believe you..

Of course! Been there before and didn't even think of it! Thanks man!

I was kind of hoping to get it in Calgary before I left to avoid the PST. Oh well.

Kikomun Creek.

Hey boys, Heading out to BC tomorrow to camp for the long weekend. Is The Fishin Hole the only place that sells them in Calgary?

That's the best picture I've seen in a LOOOOONG time!! LOL!! I love it. Now make me... nah, can't steal SJW's line.. that he stole from TV.

Anyone know anything about Alberta Fly Fishing Adventures? http://www.albertaflyfishing.ab.ca/extras.htm

Can't keep his legs closed.. LOL

"No more rhyming, now I mean it!" ... ...

It's true! A nice lady just won a rod/reel combo the other day!

BA hahaha!! Yeh pretty much!

Ah okay. Thanks!

Noob question.. what's the confluence?

Right on dude!! See you on Friday in Kikomun! Sounds like a crazy trip! I'm sure you guys will have lots of campfire stories for us then!!

OHHHHHH! NOW I get what you guys were saying about the centered pupils before! Guess I better go back and check some of my pics..

Now THATS a good quote.

No, spin rods. But fly rods this weekend.. with a slip bobber. I think it'll work like a charm.

Was that a rhetorical question?

This is what I've been wondering. Those grizzly's we saw at K Lakes last week.. we would've had no idea they were there if a car load of people didn't stop and tell us. I bet they walk by fisherman all the time and the fisherman don't even know!! Crazy. Almost makes me think it would be somewhat safe just to ignore them and go about your business. I guess unless you unwittingly get between a sow and her cubs... or the cubs walk on the other side of you.
