Ha....if i'm going down, I'm taking all you guys with me!

Tried the above twice and still have the same problem. Did this work for anyone else? I believe FlyBC uses the same forum software and I don't have the problem there???

Fishtales is basically it for 'touching' before you buy in Calgary. I've come across some other minimal supplies (Russels) but not worth your time to go check them out (Russels did use to have a box of cork you could go through though). I get most of my stuff through Andy too, or I order straight from the dealer (ie. Dan Craft and REC). I got three rods I didn't finish this winter and will start up again when the snow falls.

So for some reason, I'm having problems staying logged in. I'm making sure the "remember me" box is checked, but every time I come back, I have to log in again. I thought this came up before, but can't find a thing with the search function. This worked normal until about a week ago.

For articles on catch and release techniques, how about the one in the fishing regs!

buy the best you can so you're not wanting another for at least a few more years. For reels go with islander or hardy (love the hardy lightweight sereies on a dry fly rod) and for rods stick to sage or loomis.

Hey, is that a new camera!

I believe Clive mentioned that his 'best selling' book is currently out of print, but he may have a couple of copies at home. And I believe it really is only a couple. He'll pop up here sooner or later though.

Fixing the dam is still in the plans I believe...just got postponed. I don't think they'll be draining it all the way, therefore there won't be a sucker kill off. Too bad, maybe we'll just have to get them to stock browns in there so there's a predator

I've been trying eggs in both rivers (crow and bow mostly) and lakes (Bullshead) for a few years now, and haven't found them to be all that good. I do get fish on them, but I don't think I've ever thought they were 'the ticket' for that day.

Thanks to LoneFisher's advice I got one big 'bow, and a bunch of smallish bulls (~18'') on on leech patterns under an indicator (catonic leech). The best patterns were a brown or black one that LoneFisher ties, and the little leech that I use (emerging leech...bloom's leech). This was about a month ago and things may have changed, but catatonic leeching is deadly anywhere for anyfish. Even landed a 4lb sucker on my little leech out of Lower K.

Beatuiful area... and that's a nice size fish for that creek. I've heard of bigger, but when I catch a 12'', that's a trophy.

http://www.medicinehatnews.com/article_5932.php The radio was saying that he was from Calgary. Scary thing is that a few people off this board (who I've never met) had emailed me and said they would be fishing it this week. Will have to wait for more news.

Looks good...with boards that have so many sections though, I always miss things cause I'm too lazy to scroll down to check what's being posted in the other parts. Best part of your other board was the 'last 50 posts' link. I just bookmarked it and went straight there every time I visited.
