Happy Birthday, Tex; try not to break a hip on the bunny hill tomorrow!

Prolly some Dutchman in a big ole cattleman's truck playin' chicken with 'em!!!

Only had a few minutes for a quick look(stupid work!!!); looks spectacular! I'll be back...

Nice! I especially like the 2nd pic...

:bow: :bow:

Welcome to the crapshow! Sorry about yer luck; y'know, having to live in such a Godforsaken area... I kid, of course; I love your little corner of the world! A few pics would be nice...

Very kewl, S.D.; nice find!

Sounds like y'all had a great day, Tex; good on ya! Regarding the part about how lucky we are to live here, you're preaching to the choir, my friend; I agree wholeheartedly. I wasn't born here, but I'm proud to consider myself an Albertan!

I like me a nice bacon & Nutella sammich; sweet`n`salty deliciousness!!!

Check your wife's purse. Maybe she has your EYEballs in there, too...

Not soon enough, Dutchman. My New Year's resolution is to fish my 2wt in some of that water, accompanied by a big Dutch fella who's name sounds like Mexican food to those who don't know better. I've never actually kept a resolution yet; first time for everything, right???

Dave actually has that same outfit in adult size; he'll be wearing it at the Fly Fishing Expo... Happy Birthday, dude! Do NOT behave yerself tonite!!!

Great link, Kevin. Those bears are hard on cameras, ain't they?

Great pics! Thanks for that...

Nice!!!

Better safe than sorry, I figure. Doesn't hurt to stay under 30kmh for a few hundred metres....

Holy crap on a cracker, Tex! Sorry about yer luck... Of course, your misfortune is our gain here at FlyFishCalgary; thanks for the story. Just for the record: maybe if you sat down & typed out a few more of your entertaining tales, Jared wouldn't have to come by & sabotage yer vehicles, just to force another one outta ya???? Good luck with the Ridgeline; sounds pretty sweet!

Heck, no.... Live minnow/dew worm combo....

Whatsamatta, DubD- ya get tired of catchin' big fish??? Hells, yeah, mang; fo' sho'!

Thanks for that, Jay; really nice!

That's OK, Dale. I'll send you some Christmas cheer, anyway- you don't even have to earn it!

What???? But then I would actually have to go fishing...touch smelly fish...etc. !!! Thanks, but no thanks.

Welcome, Badcaster! Coincidentally, pretty much every one I've ever fished with has suggested that I use that moniker as a forum nickname... Regarding your final query: Don't wait for spring, dude; the Bow's a year round fishery. Dress warm & have at 'er! C ya 'round!

Yeah, it looks like folks are icefishing all over. PM me when yer planning a trip...

I suppose it's possible; but, it's a pretty big gash & there was a second one close to the tail???
