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.

Hey birchy, don't know if you're camping at Kikomun, but that lake there and more to the southeast have smallmouth bass in em (mabye check regs to see if they're open)....take a big bully fly and let me know how it works out....I've caught one there on a spinning rod and they fight pretty good!!
I'm headed south, but I don't know if I'll be fishin'...we'll probably scope it out and go from there...stayin' at my parents in Claresholm anyway.
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!!
-
if it was 2 maybe 3 then I would say its a pretty good deal...... 1 guide for 12 people though I kinda feel would not be enough. I feel he would be to busy riggin rods to actually place 12 people on productive spots let alone teach people to fly fish as well and I would assume your co workers will mainly be newbies right? But on the other hand I am not an authority on the subject..........
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.

Upper bow is all dries and streamers birchy. You cant nymph it either.
Good to know!

No effin way!!!!
I would have passed out and been grizzly appetizer.
I have been around sharks plenty.. While I have tons of respect, I can't say I'm scared of them and don't let their presence stop me from fishing where I want. I just take precautions. Bears on the other hand HORRIFY me. I'm sure it is a familiarity issue, but whatever. Your ammo is what, pepper spray? What about a sawed off 12 gauge? Or two? Or better yet a grenade launcher. I have a hard time seeing myself fishing in grizzly country. Maybe I can bring Hawgstoppah and let them sniff him! You game Brian?
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 good but how many guides do ya get for 12 people?
Sounds like only one.. MAYBE two.
-
It appears that we are. The wife is only 7 months pregnant so we are a little daring to go a little further. She climbed down below the Upper Cataract falls last weekend so a trip around those beauties down south should be a breeze.
Do you guys know the sex yet Pete?
We're having a boy!
-
LOL....
I told my wife a story I never really told anyone before, becuase I didn't want her to be afraid every time I go into the woods. I got sniffed, yes SNIFFED by a griz once. Kept my cool, though.... however, you know how they say you can get so scared you pee your pants? 'Tis true
That's insane dude!! Seriously?!?!
-
Yep ! that is a great price
Curious - is that walk and wade or float (I assume thats a half day)
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?
-
Nice pics.
As someone who is a native of Ontario, I'd just like to say that I'm stunned that such beautiful fish can come from such a shitty province
LOL!
Great fish man!
-
i'm just curious...with everything that causes cancer nowadays, can you still flyfish from a plastic bubble??...it's getting to that point where we can't even do what we enjoy without worrying about getting cancer...crazy...
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!!
-
you should tie up a big brown and gold streamer call it the Tim Horton, tie it on a double hook with a double trailer and you got a Tim Horton double double.
Just when I think you couldn't be stupider.. you go and say something like this.. ... ... ...
AND COMPLETELY REDEEM YOURSELF!!!!!
-

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.
