Flytyer.. ...well that doesn't stop them from trying to change the justice system does it...all around you there will be lame excuses as to why the law enforcement, can't do this or that ..and all the fingers point to suits..just one vicious circle.............Wolfie

, if you haven't tried it....why knock it..........Wolfie

well you let me know how much and where....it is something that I'd like to try, especially in dog pound as an example........Wolfie

..you know for a farmer who is up to his crotch in cow poop each night...U have a funny side to you......Wolfie

Of course Brookies will breed with Bulls if they don't get eaten first by the Bull...they are from the same genius..'Salvelinus'...now you won't expect a human to breed with a pig....that is if that human wasn't a 'hillbilly'..lol........Wolfie

well gents, I've been watching this thread with great interest because like most it was time to buy a new line..and so..after seeing what you all had to say, and the % also played a part in my purchase, I bought a Rio Gold 6wt, now, this line made my new rod just 'sing' with delight..as everyone had said...it just motors, loads up the rod and just spits out the line... ..you know this is the first time I've ever listened to a 'poll' ........thank you all for ur input............Wolfie

...I was going to say...Great..now I don't feel so bad cause that is my clothing as well...........Wolfie

way productive as always great pics.........Wolfie

always just behind the great pics....grrr..please inform ur daughter that I to scoped not one but two of her pics..they were all great...oh ya...about that sardine u planted on ur 2wt...as Max said...Karma..no less...great brownie m8.............Wolfie

LynnF.. ...damn straight..came across the news channel early yesterday morning that their 'Father' was pleading to be lenient, because they came from Ontario, and they never saw 'ducks' before but have pigeons and sea gulls there..... ..Flytyer.. ..the most I've ever heard of came out of Ontario, years ago ..a group of Ohio boys were fishing for walleyes up in northern Ontario, and got caught with a huge amount of fillets, that had NO skin attached to them [to show the specie of fish], which they claimed as 'pike not walleye', but at that time the F/G were out to make an example of these boys..they took their two planes..all fishing gear..fined them I believe to be in the sum of $10,000 each, which came out to be $60,000 in fines , plus the value of those two Cessnas at that time and sent them home by bus!..I totally agree that the courts...or is it the wusses we have as judges these day, who are afraid to exercise the rights of the laws that have been made to prevent this kind of crap from happening again [oh it will, U'll see]..or are the afraid to step on someone's toes.............................Wolfie

yesterday i had a phone call come in to me in response to one i put in, from the Royal Ontario Museum..my registered trade is a biological technician in Ichthyology and Herpetology..for those that need to look this up I'll save you the trouble..it is .."Fish and Reptiles". I question the assistant curator, of that department for a lengthy time about what you all have been writing about..the various sub species of rainbows, and the chars..[cutties], because I've lost contact with all the changes in the fisheries over the years , i needed to understand as to what has taken place not only with the drastic changes of identification of species, but the introduction of so many hybrids..I was told point blank that back in '86, changes were on the table for lumping together certain species in the west, and the start of DNA testing began. These changes came from the USA, and Canada , [on her knees again], didn't put up a strong fight to prevent what had been purposed by the US..[behnke], so called top biologist at that time, but in the US. Where is our mouth pieces for Canada? I'm also told that we do have representatives on this joint board of fisheries..sorry [not] if I sound against the American [know it all ploy] but I'm a Canadian not an American puppet. ..anyway back to the inter breeding of the fishes [trouts/char] in Alberta, from what I was explained that the US introduced the various sub species with Canada to produce a formidable sport fisheries for this province just like what was happening out in the East at that time. But with lesser species than the pacific salmon, because the province's watersheds could not support those species. ..it was also explained to me that through the process of DNA, they have been pin pointing the origin of these sub species, and the origin of the rainbow trout, [salmo gairdneri] now being called 'Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri' since 1991, Rainbow Trout are actually a land-locked form of the anadromous Steelhead and yet the "Cutties" are in the genus of "Oncorhynchus", with the rainbow trout, and the Pacific Salmon. Now that 'Redband' trout is just a sub specie, and it is called scientifically 'Oncorhynchus mykiss ssp', the Bull trout [char] is being a separate specie with the genus..Salvelinus along with the Dolly Varden and the Eastern Brook trout.. ..so as far as I'm told, we do have a variety of trouts to add to our fishing pleasure, thanks to the influnce from the American Government...........Wolfie

Sorry m8 but these are not .."sheep dogs ", but are called "Border Collies", breed for their intelligence, in herding animals be it sheep or cattle or even geese for that matter.........Wolfie ....ya ya ...I know it's semantics...!

..it looks good on these newly located Saskatchewan, former Ontario boys who claim they didn't know shooting ducks out of season on private property or not is not only a provincial offense but a federal offense.........these are at this moment going in front of a judge...there is "no excuse" for ignorance.........Wolfie

read a story about a guy in the states , who caught a 20 lber brown in July of this year, was going to post his story, apparently it was caught a few years back by the fish/game, recorded and let go only to fall to this guy's wall...and by the way ...u take great pics............Wolfie

Don't know what to say....except Thank you again m8, I'll read what you posted..yes I know there r a variety of browns around the world, and some have the same trait as the steelie...out to the ocean..return after a few years to spawn [New Zealand, Chile] but this also happens from a huge lake system [the great lakes] then back to the rivers in the fall to spawn..in Ontario............Wolfie

Thanks for the info Maxwell, so i guess that Alberta did what Ontario and Ohio did more than 30 years ago by importing King, Coho, and Kokanee from BC to start up their fisheries, but in this province they stayed with what would bring a colourful fisheries, the mixing of the trouts..well the very first 'rainbow' I caught back in May, surprised me..it had the most beautiful purple hue running down the lateral line which stirred my memory of the 'land locked salmon' found in a very few lakes in the north eastern Ontario. Now after reading this thread, I searched to see what this redband trout look like, and came up with this link... ........at least now I can see what they look like..............Wolfie

Flytyer..can you tell me how or why you think we, here in Canada would have that sub specie..the redband bow,and how would this specie get in our waters up here...hope I'm not asking too much, ...and please don't give links to read....................Wolfie

not doubting you but what type of 'bee', if it is bubble bees...no worries, honey bee..hmm..but if it is "yellow jackets" spray with..'hornet's Spray'...BUT...ONLY when the lights go out...then seal it up!..............Wolfie

now i highlighted the part that threw me off.....never heard or seen a "redband"....???..........Wolfie

all ur photos are top m8....and that is a two spot sphinx moth a beauty as well as those flower pics.............Wolfie

Ahhh....a 'German Brown'...........nice, Brilliant..I'm not used to catching those Scottish Browns cause out in the East, the German browns dominate, however, i always considered them to be 'Lake run Browns'...or 'Ocean run', since I've fished the Bow a lot so far, I've taken plenty of those Scottish ones .................Wolfie

looks like u had a field day...both species of browns....a beautiful German and a good looking Scottish Brown.....Wolfie
