  1. Great pic. Where did you get too?
  2. I read this as three pike, and 1 trout over 50 cm. Not 3 trout.
  3. Yes, I was just there for a few days last week. Really enjoyed it. Surprised. and Happy. I like positive changes to fishing around here...there's not enough.
  4. Bullshead is great, but doesn't fish all that well in the summer. Your best option is to take a drive to Cypress Hills and hit Battle Creek.
  5. Has a similiar situation as Trailhead in BC...big bull grabbed onto the cutty. Moving water and big fish meant 4 wt snapped right above the handle. It was time to get him in, or let him go. Might have been smarter to just point the rod at the fish and snap it off...but I have lots of 4 wts. If you're going after bulls, bring a heavier rod.
  6. Can you find them anywhere for $233 CAD? The US dealers have them for $179 but everywhere I see them so far in Canada is $275?
  7. Need a new pair of boots for wet wading and these look good. Any reviews or thoughts from people that own them? Decided it's time to finally toss out my current pair. They will only be used for wet wading...got a different pair for the winter.

    Pond Trout

    I know that fish....I think we made acquaintances about a month ago.
  9. Fished with Nacho last year in Cozumel. Not looking at heading back this year. If I was in Cozumel, I'd book him again.
  10. Thanks for all the info. I'm looking at "Akumal Fly Fishing" run by Rhett Schober. Anyone know anything about him or his operation? Thanks
  11. Did you have a guide when you went to Ascension Bay...if so, who did you use?
  12. I will be in the Akumal area (Bahia Principe Sian Ka'an...between Playa del Carmen and Tulum) during the end of March and beginning of April. It's a vacation with the wife but I'm looking at getting a guide for a day or two of flats fishing. I've checked out some of the larger operations (ie. Pesca Maya) and the rates are $570 a day US (which is about $830 Canadian right now) Any recommendations on some less expensive operations in the area? I won't have a car. If anyone is in the area at the same time, I'd be more than happy to hook up for the day to share a guide.
  13. Randy, I've used Mudhole, lots of choice there.
  14. So looking at heading to Cuba in late March for a Holiday with some friends. Fly fishing is not the main purpose but I will have a couple days to hit the flats. Any recommendations on where in Cuba to stay/go that: 1. Offers nice all inclusive accommodations (wife and friends will be coming) 2. Has close flats for bone fish, etc. (can be guided or do it yourself) I've done the all inclusive trip (with no fishing) and the bonefishing trip (with rustic accommodations), now I'm just trying to put both together. Any ideas in Cuba? Any ideas somewhere besides Cuba?
  15. That sounds like a great trip. Just too soon for me to get something organized as I'm off to Vegas tomorrow for a while. Hoping to get there in the Fall.
  16. Wow, saddened by the news...I feel for his family. Jeff was great one. I've know him for over 10 years, and of course, like many, the connection is Bullshead. Some of my best memories were seeing him and his daughter out there and fishing together with them....usually finding a beer on my truck bumper when I came in....emails sent back and forth about Bullshead...such a passion for his family. I loved it that when he went fishing, it meant he was gone for the THE DAY. There was no short trip; he went hard. I got use to looking for his vehicles when I went out to the lake...more often than not in the Spring, I would find him somewhere. He's a great one...he will be missed. Wow. At a loss for words.
  17. Love the show. Have never missed one and I live 3 hours out of Calgary. I don't go for the deals, but the chance to BS with some old friends and see all the new gear.
  18. Nice stuff. Love the Inn.
  19. OK Dave...I'm in. You setting this up

    Fernie Lakes

    Nice fish
  21. BCMI in Blairmore also. I like the big breakfast you can get in the am.
  22. Reminder that the meeting is tomorrow night. Hope to see many out there.
  23. Terry Clayton, Fisheries Biologist with Alberta Fish and Wildlife, will be holding a meeting at the Beyond Walls School on Wednesday night, March 28 at 8PM. The purpose of the meeting is to give anglers an opportunity to provide Terry with ideas for angling regulation changes and ways to improve fisheries in the Medicine Hat area. Terry will not be giving a formal presentation, but instead will try to answer questions from those anglers present. Beyond Walls school is at 1008A Allowance Ave (it looks more like a business than a school). It's by the overpass and REDI Enterprises. (Also across the street from the Outdoorsman sporting goods store).
  24. There was a pod cast on it. I liked the pod cast. Cool things to listen to on your way to the fishing hole.
