Nice pics, sounds like a great trip!

A warden last year told me he believes there is a cougar in the park after a few elk kills that had traits of a cougar attack. I'm going with a coyote on this one though.

Great Video, thanks for posting that! I'm a big fan of this actually. In fact I bring my snorkel mask with me on every fishing trip. Most of the time I just peer into those big pools to take a look or a quick dive. But it's those beautiful high mountain lakes that I'm in for.... a few years ago I attempted to try #3 of valley of 5, lasted 5 minutes out there until the clouds came over but it was sublime to say the least! I'll be in K-country for August long Uberfly, I'm in if you got a spare wet suit.

Nice report MMAX, sounds like you had a good one!

I heard it depends on the weight of the can. If it weighs close to the same amount when you bought it then it should be alright.

I have no desire or taste for it's lime version... Budweiser sucks

If Heatly had any class he should have made up his mind last night, even at least by noon eastern time today... FNG, Don't forget Ohlund is also out there for the sun. Where he comes from is not about winning a cup, it's about winning a gold medal which he already has.

The buzz around town says J-Bow signed a 5-year deal with a cap hit at 6.6 million. Nice score Sutter, unfortunately again you forgot to add a playoff performance bonus onto the contract...

Thanks for the info guys

Does anyone know if the streamwatch program for the Nordegg area is still going on? If you have any contact info, can you send me a PM please. Thanks

I was wondering how #5683-2253 was doing... looks like it's still doing well

I agree, great flies they have there. I just don't have the time these days to tie dinky #22 BWO's...

Don't forget to pack a big sized net too

That's what I love about these school girls man. I get older; they stay the same age - Wooderson

Great report! How much did your pack weigh? My backpack is heavy enough with food, tent and sleeping gear.

Change is good I say. Consider yourselves lucky, if Lowe was still GM he would have probably chosen Kelly Buchberger as head coach! Jagr and Renny worked closey together and if they grab him it better be for cheap. He's still a point a game guy. Perhaps toss him on the second line, boot that useless horcoff on the third and get a real scoring centre for the first...then there's the goalie situation too...

I heard Lanny McDonald is available. Some good old Calgary heart and soul eh!

Pulled this one from the Herald, CALGARY - Increased enforcement was the main reason behind a rise in the number of tickets and warnings handed out in provincial parks and wilderness areas over the Victoria Day weekend, officials say. More than a thousand tickets and hundreds of warnings were issued for drug, weapon and driving offences -- a significant increase over last year. Most were handed out in the McLean Creek recreational area, southwest of the city. "We had no difficulty locating people who felt they could do as they pleased in those backwoods areas,"said RCMP Sgt. Patrick Webb. Provincial campgrounds, on the other hand, were relatively quiet with only 20 charges and 20 warnings given out and five groups evicted. "People seem to be getting the message," said Alberta Parks conservation officer Pat Ronald. "Enforcement at campgrounds has pushed these partiers back into those random zones." But those trying to avoid the crackdown by camping deep in the recreational area still found themselves subject to tickets and charges as RCMP officers moved in to follow up on their zero tolerance policy. Although there was a marked increase in tickets and warnings, Webb said it likely stemmed from the fact more officers were out enforcing laws. "This increase in numbers may be explained by increased enforcement, not only RCMP but other provincial agencies working in conjunction," he said. Conservation officers, RCMP members, peace officers and Alberta sheriffs worked together to clamp down on illegal behaviour in parks and wilderness areas. As a steady stream of mud-encrusted trucks and campers wound along the highway east back to the city Monday as the snow began to fall, officials compiled preliminary statistics examining charges and warnings. The majority of tickets were for traffic and liquor offences, but Webb said officers also seized brass knuckles following a fight, and officers dealt with two ATV rollovers. One man who fell from a cliff Sun-day while scrambling behind the Blue Rock Campground had to be lifted by heli-sling and then transported by STARS to hospital, said Ronald. Four bears were also relocated. Still, Webb said, the crimes were not as serious as they have been in the past, when officers have had to deal with critical injuries, sexual assaults and even death. "The very serious crimes and serious injuries are not on the pages," he said. Officers may have been busier if the weatherco-operated, but a cold night Friday, followed by Monday's snow, likely put a damper on things, said Sustainable Resource Development area manager Rick Blackwood. "The cooler weather and wetter weather kept a number of people out of the backcountry," he said. Blackwood said the amount of snow still covering parts of the high country may also have been a factor. But, he said, the campaign to let campers know there would be no tolerance for bad behaviour could also have contributed to the fact that camperswereco-operative and more agreeable this year. "We certainly saw a far more mature, family-oriented crowd," he said. © Copyright © The Calgary Herald

Right on humble, gotta bust them wherever you can!

It is a great idea Don. I have had to nail back up a few regs signs that some folks have tossed and thrown in the bush. What are they thinking? Are they trying to play dumb and think if there is no sign then no rules apply?

Nice win Blackhawks! Got me first place in my hockey pool down in Calgary now. Next year Shames

I picked up trout streams of alberta this winter. Well it wasn't easy to find at least here in edmonton. New & used book stores, fish'n hole...nothing. Even stopped at the at the publisher here and they had none in stock. Went on Abe books online and got a used mint copy sent up from Texas for $7 USD!

Wow, the north sask river is looking great!

Whistles are even more useless. I was fishing in a canyon last summer and a group of fishermen came up behind me, one was blowing away at his whistle. Couldn't even hear him with the water around and canyon walls! I usually carry bear spray but wouldn't mind another alternative just in case

Yeah...I think all you guys better save your gas $, stay in the city and fish the bow this summer Just a suggestion
