hydroman

I would try Brian at Auto Marine in Calgary. He deals with Zodiacs and as leak detection and valves may be similar to yours. Great guy and always willing to help.

I agree - cutbow.

Roger on that Brent. Very surprised at their attempt, but as mention by others, hindsight is 20/20

As others have already indicated, it is doable. A bit tight as there is not that much room, but have seen D boats on the that water.

I am a Hydrogeologist and you are likely correct for some areas where the local groundwater flow could be a significant contributor to the stream flow. More common in the higher mountain streams.

We floated by that area on Saturday and did not see any signs of a drift boat. Mind you the visibility was only 6 to 12 inches.

Fishteck and others are correct. In my past job was as a consultant, I was involved in preparing work plans for this type of work. Prior to any work than may discharge or cause disturbance in flowing waters in Alberta, a work plan must be submitted and approved by AEP. The work program will include measures to mitigate impact to the waters and the aquatic environment. Downstream threshold limits (based on upstream levels and distance downstream from the work activities) on turbidity, total suspended solids and other work specific parameters are set. Upstream and downstream monitoring must be conducted and managed by qualified professionals. Exceedances of the threshold limits must be reported to AEP followed with an action plan to reduce the possibility of future exceedences. I know its not perfect folks, but engineering consultant professionals and AEP will monitor potential impact to the waters during the instream work. However as others have indicated, call the AEP line if you see excess silt or impact, or feel the appropriate efforts are not being done. -Garry-

Got them on big stimulaters and the turks tarnatula

Barry Mitchell's book Alberta Trout Highway has some of those old cutty streams

Yeah, a FFC member forgot his wading boots and wet waded in flip flops all day. Flip flops did not survived, but he did..

Looking forward to the cold beverage!

6wt for poppers and 8 wt for streamers is my preference.

Just got my IIIx back from Winston. 3 week turnaround. Pretty good for a summer repair. $50 US.

Yes, a few logging trucks kicking up lots of dust.

My goto set up for the Liv and the smaller streams is a 3wt Winston IIIx with a small Galvan. Good for cutties and even landed a couple 20 in bullies that took a dry with it. I was amaze when I saw EMT hook a fish using a streamer on his 2wt. -Garry-

I have the Biiix 3wt and it is my "goto" rod for cutty waters. Landed some big cutties last year and even a few bullies which really put a big bend on the rod. Looking forward to chasing some cutties with this summer down at the Cutty Hut.

The "Cutty Hut" lives on!

I find my felt sole Simms to be the most effective on the rocks such as the Bow and Oldman during the spring and summer and my studded Patagonia to be more effective during the winter and late fall when the ground is wet/frost. Just my opinion.

Nice videos and thanks for sharing

A breathalyzer of the air around the cutty hut would easily exceed 0.05 24/7, especially when Darby is there.

Show and teach them fishing. I taught my when he turned 11 and he was my #1 flyfishing and camping partner for many years. We have both learned from each other. I taught him how to fish and he taught me how to tie flies. Folks like Mr. Botangles and others on FFC saw him learning the how to catch his first cuttie from what is now known to some as the "pool of shame" in the RHC. Though his priorities have changed with a steady GF, we still fish and camp together. His GF known to some as "Olivia" at the Cutty Hut now camps and fishes with us. Though your new baby will slow your fishing down for the short-term. However, if you are lucky like me you will get have lots of time to enjoy and share your fishing with him/her for many years as I am experiencing now. It has allow us to have a very strong relationship as we both fish with each others friends.

Al, Sell the Cutty Hut "green credits" to those RV folks..

NW would be nice!
