was wondering if anyone here might be able to rent me a red wagon? i need it for my wedding on june 26TH as it will be transporting my son down the isle because he is the ring bearer. just need it for the one day but wont be able to return the wagon until i get back from honeymoon on July 5TH. would like it to be a radio flyer or something similar with wooden sides so he wont fall out.. if you have a wagon and could help me out that would be great. post pics if you have cause i live in cochrane and it is difficult to drive around everywhere just to take a look. Thanks in advance. dwight f.

i know that the gas mileage isnt very good on these engines. i have an '08 tacoma with 4L which is same engine. and i maybe get 450 km on 80 liter tank. but very good all around capable 4X4 i recently took out an FJ and almost bought it but decided to keep the tacoma for now. good luck getting a new ride.

Was just wondering if anyone here uses Orvis 5Wt rods and what they like or dislike about them? I am in the market for a new rod and might pick up a Trident or even a Hydros. any opinions would be great. Also same goes for a reel to match.. Possibly Battenkill Large Arbor or something similiar. Thanks in advance.

if you go to costco, i would buy the beef tenderloin and cut it into steaks, you can vary thickness and it tastes excellent off the grill

thanks smitty

that is one book i didnt want to have to buy. but i guess

thnks for all the tips..lol..

hi there going on a trip this weekend with some family members. and was wondering if anyone knows of any good areas to check out for fly fishing around there? medicine lake is around rimbey rocky mountain house area. looking for some steam creek action and obviously no to far from general area. thanks in advance. obviously not looking for secret spots etc. just some stuff that might be close.

right now i am trying to get a couple of us together for this saturday to make the trip into fortress lake. not positive yet, but there is some interest out there. any input on flies or if anyone has been that way in the last couple weeks let me know.how was the hike ? weather conditions? windy? flies to try?specific hatch that might be going on about now? any info would be great. thanks

fortress kananaskis please.

well i think i have had enough time spent fishing jumping pound. did fairly well over the past couple of weeks actually managed on over 13 inches pretty good for a small stream. anyways was hoping to move on to bigger and better things although i will always fish jumping pound. any one want to shoot me a pm on where i should go and possibly what dry flies they seem to be taking. i know this is alot to ask but hey.. worth a try right? also was thinking about doing a day trip to fortress lake. what do i need to know about area? how long is the hike in type of flies to use etc. maybe going closer to end of month. not sure yet. anyways if any one here is planning a evening trip close to cochrane this coming week and would like to have an amateur tag along and show me a thing or two, let me know. thanks alot.. i hope.lol..

just being a newb to flyfishing i was wondering what would be the top 15 dry flies a guy should have in his arsenal? i wont try to go and tie them just yet but next time i go out and pick up new flies i will look for specific ones that other people recommend trying. any input would be great. right now i have fished mostly around cochrane area including bow and dogpound and jumpingpound. if that helps any. thanks in advance.

thanks for all the great information. i went to the area where the bow meets jumping pound.and actually managed to catch a couple small guys.thanks for all the great info and looks like i an hooked already. need to get a set of waders, starting getting cold after and hour or so. any one know good set the doesnt cost a fortune?

hey there just bought my first fly rod today and thought i might just say hello. anyways moved to cochrane last november and just wonder where on the bow or surrounding lakes or rivers might be good to hit up this time of year? i have heard fishing the bow around cochrane might not be so good, is there any truth to this rumor? thanks for any input, and hope to have many great fish stories and pics to come over the course of my learning curve transitioning from a spin cast guy to a fly guy. any ways thank and hope everyone has a great season.
