Well if you were there.. you know how it was. Tough fishing, and busy busy busy. The water was a little off color which I figured would have helped a bit, but not so. Only managed one rainbow to the net which was foul hoked and lost 2 more. Anyway here are a few pics. At least it was a beautiful day!. In the next sequence of pics we were walknig up river and came to a pool with a bunch of geese in it, As we walked up 2 of them started fighting. I took 40 pics throughout the whole thing.

Good job boys, good job... I will post my pics from tomorrow.

I would have to go with Nelson. Great fishing, mountain biking that in my opinion is as good if not better then the North Shore of Vancouver, and a few great ski hills within an hour. Although I could probably also live in northern ontario as well, somewhere as close to being in the bush as possible while still being able to have access to the civilized world when need be. Dont get me wrong alberta has some gems for fishing, but on the whole, it doesnt compare to Ontario.

Hope its good for you, it puked in Fernie today and is supposed to keep at it tonight and all day tomorrow.

The Bow is very much open this weekend, its the Crow thats closed.... dont venture to far from Calgary, its going to be a terrible weekend.

Is there a cross by that rock right above the fence post in the first pic on your second post?

Well that answers it.... Thanks

Well after reading through the regs and not being able to find an answer I now turn to you. What are the regulations regarding irrigation canals? I have been ice fishing a spot between 2 lakes with differing regulations on the size of fish you are allowed to keep from either. Do the regs fall under the lake you are closest to or is there a seperate regulation for the canal?

Dont release it in the coulees, I GO BIKING DOWN THERE!!!!!!

I am really hoping they will have what I need for the summer for pike fishing. I am starting to get sick of odering from the internet becasue the stores here dont have anything for big pike /musky lures. Its amazing the amount of pike fishing we have here but the stores dont carry any of it, they must figure knowone is going to spend $20+ for a lure.

That storm pic is pretty epic. Glad I wasnt caught out in that one!

What do you expect about the wages, its retail. If any other outdoors store in Calgary is paying more then that, I would be incredibly suprised.

I agree, you live in a city with over 1 million people. There wont be much close that is uncrowded, and if there is, I dont think the people that do know about it will post it as it then wont be uncrowded. Once the season starts, head west and choose either north or south on the trunk road. There is no shortage of streams along there.

I am a huge fan of the 4th pic........

After a little bit of technical difficulties, the poll is now up. You will need to refer back to this thread to make your decision. GO VOTE!!!!!

Well I have tried it another 3 times today, twice in this post and another time tryiing to start a whole new post. I am starting to get sick of typing 20 names out. I am pretty sure I am filling everything out right and it keeps telling me the same thing.

Alright well after much difficulty getting this to work, it finally works. Interestingly enough, I tried again (thats 7 times) with internet explorer, and it still didn't work, so I figured I would try with Firefox and go figure, it worked!! So anyway since I can only have 20 choices on a poll, I just picked the names of the people who posted the 20 pics I liked the best. So feel free to vote away, and if you don't like my selections and feel yours should be up there... well I guess that's to bad. I voted for Mongers, I'm a sucker for a nice sunset. Nice job though everyone. I hope you have a plethora of fishing excursions and may you catch many a large fish in 2009!! oh and good health to, or something like that!

Wait a second..... can I even have this man people as choices in a poll?? What is the maximum number of choices you can have?

Which 1 of those is the 1 you wish to enter?

HAHAHA, Golden!!!!! I am suprised that Clive hasnt chimmed in yet

So since -30 degree weather and snow makes for a pretty slow photo section. Its time to see who has taken the best fishing or fishing related photo this year. The rules are simple. You can only enter your 1 best photo. The photo must have been taken this year (I guess we can really only go by honesty on this one), the photo must be fishing related. The photo can be one that you have or havent posted before. All entries must be posted to this thread by Sunday Dec 28th. at 10pm, at which time I will make a poll (this is scary for me as I have never made one) and whoever has the most votes for there photo will have the prestigous honour of having the sites best photo of the year. Discuss....... and post away. Here is my entry.

hello babysitter..........

I also find it ironic that there is an add at the top of the page for the ALL NEW H3T Hummer Truck!!!!!! Its the most versatile hummer ever!!!! except for in the mall parking lots where 95% of them end up!!!

Here's something else to think about: Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US, claiming they can't make money paying American wages. TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US. The last quarter's results: TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses. Ford folks are still scratching their heads, and collecting bonuses... and now wants the Government to 'bail them out'. IF THIS WEREN'T SO TRUE IT MIGHT BE FUNNY

I'm in, unless its -30 ike what there calling for this weekend. I have got a few cigars to bring along as well that I'm looking forward to
