I love brookies, beauty colors on that rainbow as well.

Alright time for round 2. Enjoy..... as usual, constructive cristicism is welcome. Yes thats hail..... craziest weather I have ever been caught in the middle of One of the many great sunsets

Well my list is quit short. I did not get back from my guiding is Ontario untill the end of August so there was little flyfishing done, most noteable fish however were 3 44" pike and big walleye to numerous to remember. I couldnt even begin to guestimate how many fish were caught through out the summer up there though. A trip to Rivers Inlet for some salmon was in order after getting home though and we managed to bring home 6 Coho's one weighing in at 16lbs. After I was home however I think I made a good effort at the short time that I had left to fish in Alberta till most river closed. I managed 1 day each on the Crow, Carbondale/Castle, and Police Lake. I put 1 fish in the net on a dry all year which was in the middle of October on the Castle, pretty much made my season. I also managed to hit the Backswimmer fall at Police and had a really great day out there, all with NO WIND!!!! I would say it was a great end to the season. Now let the offseason begin... no wait.... there is no offseason for this guy.

Am I the only one thats noticed how big those bars used to be versus how big they are now?

Its the last pics that frightens me....... How many derailments has CP had in the last 2 years?

I named my $400 cheque after him, isnt that enough?.. I bet he will be the only premier in my time to do that. He needs some sort of recognition for that.

Isnt that what I was saying? the airators have done nothing to improve the size of fish in Police. So would changing the stocking as well as the regs not be more effective to creating better fishing opertunities in Alberta? That seems to be what your saying as well, if it isnt then please go more in depth with your post.

Police has Airators that were installed I believe 5 or 6 years ago now to help reduce winterkil. I have not noticed any change in the size of fish from before they were installed till now. I think a better way to improve the quality of a fishery is to decrease stocking rates, decrease limits and create more delayed harvest fisheries.

I am posting this question for Kyle who for some reason cant post messages on here right now? Anyway.... Im wondering if anyone can shed some light on this problem Im having with windows movie maker... I have 2 cameras(hp, canon) and the video from one of the cameras(hp) can be uploaded to windows movie maker, but the other camera(canon powershot) cannot upload video files to windows movie maker. The hp has the name of the files as IM and then six numbers (such as IM000337) and the canon has the files saved as MVI and then 4 numbers (such as MVI_0375), not sure if this last piece of info I gave you will make any difference. Also the hp I can watch the videos in windows media player, but the canon wont let me play them in windows media player(intervideo winDVD runs the canon movies fine) I honestly dont have the slightest idea what I could do to get it to work, so aso any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for any info!

Just because a lake is aerated doesnt mean that it will produce bigger fish. Generally lakes that are aerated are the ones that are prone to winder kill. This happens when summer weed growth dies and the decaying matter uses up the oxygen in the water. Not every body of water is prone to winter kill, usually the more shallow weedy ones. I believe the length of the winter as well as how much snow cover is on the ice can effect this as well. Someone else can likely shed more light on this though

I ended up getting eliminated in the 3rd round. It was fun, I would be down for it again. I think I was ap against Lonefisher in that one..... and I still did'nt win even trying to bribe people.

My understanding of the Alberta system is that the majority of the money goes into general revenue and very little goes back to the resource

I call BS on that 2 headed pike. You can clearly tell in the pic that the gill has been pulled open and another pike shoved up inside the gill opening.

Almost makes it worth driving the extra 20 minutes over the border and fishing the Michelle in no wind at all. But then I just remember that I would be giving my money to BC

Bring your warm sleeping bag... it was snowing up in them there hills this weekend.

If this proposal does pass I think that any reg changes will need everyones help to be enforced. Judging from last weekend out there I dont see the bait crowd just giving up on this lake. I think the RAP line will be getting lots of calls coming frome there.

10 airmiles for me... and I dont even collect them so technically I didn't win a damn thing.

I got that one today as well, only it was with this picture....... HAHA!!!!!!

That one was 44". It was the first of 3 for me for the summer. The Mayfly was well over an inch long, it probably was a Hex, there is no shortage of them out there. I thought they were more tan and brown colored like this though. All signs are pointing to yes at the moment. I was on the fence about going back next year due to the new management that was there this year, but I got an email last night from the old managers saying that they would be back next year. Between the money and the fishing, its really not a hard choice.

One of my biggest of the summer Identification anyone? Thats it till next time, I will post more in a few weeks. In the mean time, feel free to post some constructive criticism, feedback is always welcome!!

Alright, so here is the first installment of summer photos. Most are from a combination of Ontario and B.C. Some are fishing related, some arent. Enjoy... part 2 will be up in a few weeks. A foggy and cold day at the beginning of the season. One of the guides first fly rod caught pike measuring 39" Did'nt see many days this calm this year Our hot tub!!!! Dont laugh, it works really good.

I have been running Firefox for close to 2 years now. Its definatly a better program

No dont look yet...... I am in the process of getting them all uploaded as I type. Should be up in the next few days.

Nice Nice... was this with the new camera? I was sure I had seen turkeys in there before as well..... But I just caught them out of the corner of my eye as I drove by and when I actually realized what they were, I was out of sight of them. Beautifull pics as usuall... I may head out there sunday if nothing else is going on. I have had some outstanding days there right around now during the last 2 years.
