My condolences to family & friends.I looked forward to his AB.Fishing Guide every year.

When I first met Jeff,it was at bass pro in Balzac.It was dec 10th,we were both there invited by Jim Stelfox.To attend the Regional Rnd.Tbl.Mtg.Seems Jeff had produced some important data/pictures that he wanted to get to Jim.Jeff presented proof that Rainbows & Cutthoat trout were surviving in Upper Kananakis Lk.The Fisheries had stopped stocking Rainbows,years ago.So how are they surviving.The pictures that Jeff produced helped Jim develop Upper & Lower Kanaskis lks.into Quality type fisheries.A couple of years later the gov't recognised that it was a very viable thing to save these fish & other fish across the prov.Quality lk.fisheries came about shortly after that.Jeff was a steward of Bullshead.He in fact contacted me feb 17 to tell that the fish were escaping over the spillway at Bullshead.On Friday Esrd. was still working on trying to stop the fish from escaping over the spillway.Leaving them to parish in the creek that often or nearly dries up yearly. My sincere condolences to your family & friends. May the lakes be full of trips.Tight lines & sinking corkies ....

Oh MY.Jeff may the rivers be full of fish.Your rod bent in that wonderful arc.Your reel be a screaming.your line tight.Your corkie sinking.Keep a space by a shore line where we can chat...

I use the thin stuff.If I want to build it up,i have a foundation.Are you using a Loon Lite? How long are you hitting it with the lite.

thanks

taco; are you welding the pipes ends closed.me thinks micro organisms[rock snot] etc.. I went thru one of those,boat wash things the gov't was doing.Came back from Montana.They took the hubcaps,of the trailer wheels.flushed the bunks etc.

x2..great guy,have a good one

Some of my go to easiest ,quickest ties.Are blk utc 70 thread,sz 14-10 ,redwire rib[small] white/blk bead 3/32 7/64.Grey utc70 [blue dun] small blk wire,white gills Sz 14 10,Depends on how intricate you want to get.The Fly bc forum brd..Has a tremendous amt. shown there.Anti static bag,very good for sliver flashy body material,blk. thread rib or wire red or blk.Want anymore pm me...As mentioned Brian chan,Phil Rowley,John Kent,Don A,Sfotf. Some put beads of metal on them,wgt. the fly etc.Personally I use tungsten,because I want the bug near the btm.,to stay there.Coat your tys with Sally Hanson Hard as Nails.Super glue..

Best of both worlds.Doubtful.Saying that though,education is key.As are regulation/enforcement.The most troubling issue for me is bait.Trying to get bait hook out of a pike,with out damageing the fish,slim imo.So NO BAIT.Next issue,is Pa takes the family fishing.Let say 5 fish limit,for him.3 kids under age 16,now we are at 20 fish.If you want to use the resource,you gotto have a lic.You have to make people accountable for there actions.

:Birddog;I hav had a Honda 621 snowthrower.I don't no what a 1 stage is .It doesn't have the traditional auger.It has kinda paddles that have a rubber strip attached.It cleans right down to the concrete.I have owned it for 9 yrs,starts 1st pull after stored in a unheated shed.It has done 3 neighbors & my frt.drive/walk for all those yrs.Replaced the rubber on the paddles,last yr $69.00...Best investment I have ever made,for the winter..

Well i was a bird/big game hunter.Then i bought a house & low a behold across the street was a gentleman.That taught the city of calgary parks & rec. course .On fly tying & casting,beginner & in termediate.We have been friends /neighbors for 34 yrs & still going.We have fished in ab.& bc.He got me started fishing in the bow & sponsored me in Westwind Flyfisher club in Calgary.Great bunch of guys,no politics just fishing & bs..I like Murray am retired [5.5 yrs],my fishing companion [Katie] & i,wet a line mostly in lakes,thoroughout our western provinces.tight lines & sinking corkies Brian

ih ave tried many times to post..can't get past..uploaded to photo bucket nothing all a steer can do is try..my .02 cents

I use a light that i got from the diamond hard uv.But my buddy uses a loon light[older],it takes alot longer for the resin to cure with his light.There is a smell using his light,not with mine.It's all in the power of the light..

birthing pains with new system..all about value for the all mighty $$$..IBM huge $$$ vs new system.

Try Abolon.They did alot of restoration of foundations out Canmore way.H/base Calgary

Some of us remember crawling valley res.,as a stocked trout fishery.The gov.,tried to stock it with brook trout,birds/pike etc. got them.But along came,escapees from the Bow River/canals.These escapees turned into some huge fish in 3 yrs.16-18lbs.Why doesn't fishery staff capture,some rb.spawners.Our hatchery could produce,tremendous fighters,jumpers etc.People come from all over the world to fish the Bow.Ah but if people came to fish our wild strain rb trout in lakes.Then where would Nenshi get that lost revenue from.....

take some dead homes for the alley cats

here hear

You should try the bobbin,hands down has the nor-vise bobbin beat big time

the sea eagle .com offers a 285 frameless ...you get to try it for 180 days before you have to pay..that is if you are a cheap Dutchman..

taco; that's very similar to the scadden outlaw renegade. I do like there stripping basket & easier add on to attachments.with scadden you glue them on..

x2 cheaper than micheals hands down northland mall..

rivercitymarine.net they make bow mnts. outa Kamloops if you watch sfotf you see it on brian chan's boat

I completed there survey..I am in favor of the increase.BUT what about the seniors & youth. [eg]B.C fees have seniors & youths covered off.It has been spoken on this board many times,that the srd.doesn't no how many fisher's there are out there using the resource.At the very least the seniors & youth should have to be in the possession of a WIN card..

I have a border terrier..great companion,get's along with others
