The biggest issue with those overnighters is staying warm but keeping your gear light enough to carry.
It's a challenge.

I am in..The preview looked good !

There are some individual episodes you may want..

And there you go man, the Bow, the Crow, the lower OM, Barnaby Ridge, Bullshead etc. are just places I'd go to placate a fishin' itch or curiosity. The upper OM, Upper Belly, Mcleod, Freeman, Kakwa are all places I'd go to fish for something truly unique.
Like I said ..It's matter of your opinion..which I get where your coming from..
but each to there own. Just asks those who worship those waters that hold Goldens and the experience the journey to reach those waters.

OK I have to say this...how does a "fishery" become "treasured" when it can reconstructed virtually anywhere suitable by the use of a hatchery truck?
It's a matter of your opinion I guess.

Thus this thread comes fill circle !
The title of the thread is distasteful..pardon the pun because Brookies are very good eating..
Jim's work and other is commendable and I strongly support the projects to bring back native species where it can be done with an a high rate of success.
But thus the problem that is created is that there are those who don't get it.
While in certain situations such as Quirk ,non natives should be removed.. the species and in this case ..the brook trout ..is a prized game fish that in other waters should be treated as a treasured resource. I always fear that those Brookie bashers don't get it . They don't realize that this project is about restoring natives in their traditional flowing water not to create a mentality the Brookie trout are trash and should be destroyed every where they are found.

"Ditching" of brookies from any systems is illegal and should get you poaching charges.
Thank you for this !
I get the projects and their value and support them .. The overall Brookie BASHING however by some makes me sick !

and I have been bashing the Browns and the Rainbows in the Bow as well .TASTY...
-
What is the plan to remove the Rainbows ?
-
I can tell you with 100 per cent certainity that it is a Brown that appears to be crossed with something.
Taco while your dislike for Brook trout is apparent I wish you would include Browns and Non Native Rainbows
in that animosity.

One more Willow report;
27 brookies 5 cutthroat in 5 hrs, fish ranged from 15 to 30 cms and still all on a muddler. Nice to see a few more cutts. Walked in about 5-6k and fished back.
Peter, lookin' forward to it.
McLeod, thought about thumpin' it, it was legal size but not quite sure about the legalities or explanations required about possessing 25 any size brook trout and 2 rainbows over 30 cm.
Considering what Jim's goal is it make no sense to have a MIN size limit on the Rainbows.
-
Ya we should get rid of non native fish starting with the bow river.
We shouldn't and don't stock NON NATIVES in the Bow now ...So the RDR should be the same.
Nver said we should get rid of the Browns in the RDR ..Just not in to adding more..
-
Sneak down to Willow, it needs some help. Caught 24 brookies, 1 cutthroat and 1 rainbow in 3 1/2hrs Friday evening. The brookies ranged between 15 and 25 cm and all on a single muddler minnow.
Hope you fried up that Rainbow as well !
-
Beautiful Athabees...
-
Where do you fish?
What does that have to do with it ?
Didn't say I don't like Exotics ? It's where they are !
-
Can't support the stocking of NON NATIVE FISH in flowing waters that already have Native Species.
-
Shhh I released it. Don't tell Taco
I let a nice 14 inch Brown.. pound and half .. go so all good !
-
I assume the brookie was delivered to Taco's frying pan. Nice pics BTW.
Yes along with the Rainbows and Browns yanked out of the highwood..
-
Not an oil expert by any means but.. If a pipeline is 50 years olds and it 's under a river..
Can I conclude that with corosion , heat /cold , movement in the ground due to water pressure , possible fault lines ect that pipelines in these locations are more likely to crack and leak then those under just a piece of land ?

In all seriousness, run-off is one of the main reasons bio's are worried about brook trout. They are pre-adapted to our climate and weather patterns. In the spring, the rainbows spawn and run-off happens about the same time. A crapload of the eggs get killed off by the increasing silt in the water. In the fall however, there is no run off and this is when the brookies spawn. Turns out that a much larger proportion of brook trout eggs survive. In the end, the more brook trout there are, the more competition for food.......
Be interested to find out who or where you heard this from. Only in the Athabasca River System would one even consider that possibility.
Anywhere south the Rainbows are just as Non native as the Brookies so there is no validity to that statement that bio's are worried about it. Maybe your thinking of Cutties ?

Calling PGK!!!
Mike
Please NO ! He is fine right where he is at !
-
I would buy that but it's not a BROOK Trout !..LOL
-
Depends on the mgmt goal. Personally, I favour "one under" and not "one over" regulations but if the pop'n can handle the potential loss, doesn't really matter. I signed the dam petition anyway so I guess I can't bitch haha.
If you want fish meat, go to a pothole or smack some walleye on the head, you're paying for em.
The public is paying for this lake to be stocked as well so there has to be some sort of happy medium.

***FIXED***
Finally PGK you are telling the truth !
