WOW!!! I see 5 big boobs in that pic...

5wt is plenty. I often use my 3wt TFO; as long as I'm not tossing big streamers or heavily weighted 3-nymph rigs, it's fine. Only problem I find with the 3wt is that it can be a pain in the ass to mend, 'cuz the rod is only 7.5 feet. I've landed a fat'n'sassy 24" brown on it, no problem. Later, Steve

That's comedy gold, Bigtoad!!!

Beauty cutties, brother! You are Da Man!

Hey, all! I've read a few posts from guys regarding electric motors on pontoon boats. Do you have to have your boat operator's card to run an electric on your 'toon? About 4 years ago, a friend gave me a small electric that would be perfect for my 'toon; I was told at that time (by someone at some gov't dept. ) that I would need to get the card. She really didn't seem too competent, so, I'm not entirely convinced she was correct. Does anyone know if in fact this is right? Thanks, Steve

Great report, Rick( as usual!). Ain't nuttin' wrong with bonkin' a few, bro'! You can stay a little longer iffen ya like; just make sure yer back when the cricks start clearin' up, so's we can go hit . Glad yer havin' fun... Later, Steve

Cool pics, Jeff; the 3rd one could be on a calendar.

Do ya need a swamper for this trip?

Give 'em hell, Tex! Looking forward to the story & pics;good luck!!!

Have fun, brutha! Looking forward to the reports; I'm sure they'll be mighty entertaining. Good luck, Steve

Nice tiger, Neil; they are beautiful fish! Dave Jensen has a great story(&photos) on his Blog about a weekend of fishing for tigers; I believe he was at Twin Lakes, Sask. Don't know about the bus this weekend, BBT, but Tigers are on my list...someday...

Good on ya for representin', John! Glad you enjoyed it; always in tough against the Europeans, right? Do ya think it's because they're used to fishing tougher conditions, therefore having more tactics in their bag of tricks? I'll bet they actually gear their fishing more to the style needed to win championships, as well. Thanks for posting this, John. Later, Steve

Thanks for the report & photos, Albannach; nice to see that you actually get to fish some of those flies that you tie! Just a word of warning about posting locations, etc., on a fishing forum; don't be surprised if tomorrow at 9-9:30 there are 27 guys from Calgary lined up next to your willow tree, casting sedge patterns! (Before anyone points out that those fish are on the other side of the Atlantic.....I already know; 'twas a joke. )

"I'm trying to get him to quit fishing; I hope the patch works!"

Look here, jerk! Do you really have to rub it in that you get to fish Bullshead every single effin' day???? How would you like it if a bunch of us Calgree boys came down there and pulled Bullshead a couple hours closer to Cowtown? Just kiddin', Jeff; another fine set of pics, brother! I'm starting to think that you like pics...HA-HA-HA... That 4th shot looks like a little bigger 'bow; really nice. When I read that you "talked to these Lamas along the way", I was expecting a pic of some Tibetan monks! Remember this: "The one-L Lama, he's a priest; The two-L Llama, he's a beast; And I will bet my silk pyjamas, There's no such thing as a 3-L Lllama!" I can't believe I still remember that stupid poem; my childhood was a LONNNGGGG time ago! Later, Steve

Nice pics, man; sweet colors & big shoulders on that first 'bow!

Dang, some S.O.B done pilfered mah name!! Ain't right to steal sumthin' that's already bin stole once! (BTW, I lifted the name from Scot Baio's character on "Arrested Developement".)

I've got 2 words for that 'bow: Jenny Craig... That is one fat fish, man!!! Thanks for the pics, Jeff.

Nah, he's just been stirring up another forum. Be careful, Tako, them hunters is armed!!! Nice vids; thanks for postin'!!

Yep. Mr.Google confirmed it; another rednecked Albertan!

I believe Mr.Barnes is referring to using a "tube thingy", which I'm guessing is Newfanese for float-tube/belly boat. I, for one, would LOVE to see the results of attaching an electric motor to a belly boat...bet it would make a very loud "BANG" when he screwed the motor mount to the tube!!!

Wow!!! Can't believe G-Spot turned 40 today; whatever you do, do not start acting your age! Hope you got out for a birthday fish; hope it was epic. Happy Birthday, bro'! Catch ya later, Steve

Happy t'irty-first, ya young pup! Hope the river treated ya good today;not many better ways to spend your birthday... All the best, Steve

That's a good one, man; very funny!!!

I hear they're gonna change the name of the reservoir from Bullshead to "Beedhead Reservoir".The only problem is, they want it to be a surprise for you, Jeff; but, you never leave there long enough for 'em to change the danged sign!!! Some nice pics of some beautiful fish, my friend; keep 'em comin'! Later, Steve
