I'm going to try to make this one too. Missed this years!

I'd go for the Nikon D40 if I were you. Like Pacres said.. Also, www.stevesdigicams.com is an excellent site for camera research. He does all the work for you.

Wow! Gorgeous fish.

That's exactly where we're going. CDock and I pulled 150+ bass out of Baynes Lake last summer in about 3 hours.

I'm glad their rods are so big.. those fish are huge. And.. what better place to put anything with SNAPPER in the name.. than in the CROTCH of your pants.

There's something in the water in this crazy city right now I swear!!

I think they'll be mostly noobs.. but can't say for sure. Out of the 4 of us in my direct group, only 1 hasn't fly fished before.

Good to know!

The solution is very simple rickr... Make sure you bring at least one person with you, and make sure you're a faster runner than they are! If you bring a group.. make sure you're faster than at least one of them!

Sounds like only one.. MAYBE two.

Do you guys know the sex yet Pete? We're having a boy!

That's insane dude!! Seriously?!?!

Walk and Wade. And I THINK it's probably a half day.

Hey everyone, Every summer my work has a "summer celebration" where our office is closed and everyone takes part in various activities during the day. This year a walk and wade fly fishing event has been included. The gentleman who is organizing the event has been instructed to go with the "lowest cost provider" and has arranged for a company in Banff to take us out on the upper Bow in the Canmore area. I'm not going to mention the company name in case someone who works for them is on here. The deal they have worked out right now is for a minimum of 12 people and a price of $140/person. Which would include their fishing license and any equipment needed. To me this looks like a great deal, but I thought I'd check and see what you guys think. As well as check and see if any of the guides on this site might be able to do better?

LOL! Great fish man!

I'm convinced that BREATHING is a carcinogen these days.

Very Cool!! Toolman.. will do!

I've yet to go rafting myself.. but some of my married buddies have gotten the "death stare "from their wives while rafting because of it I guess! LOL

I've heard dryfly's name is Clive.. I've also seen him make really detailed posts about pike on the fly.. so is this Clive Schaupmeyer that wrote the "Pike on the Fly" article in Barry Mitchell's 2007 guide?

I've heard that alot of the girly's are rafting topless.. is that what you're talking about LynnF?

Our crew is heading out to BC, close to Lake Koocanusa.

Awesome bully dude!!

Just when I think you couldn't be stupider.. you go and say something like this.. ... ... ... AND COMPLETELY REDEEM YOURSELF!!!!!

Not as good as bullies thought I bet!

Great cutties! Haven't caught one this year yet..
