Willy,
Have you thought about reporting this to the Environmental Hotline? Sounds like it's worth the attention of AEP and maybe DFO.
1-800-222-6514 : AEP 24-hour Environmental Response Line ("for spills, releases, or other emergencies that could damage the environment")

Brian C figures fish become more fussy about size, shape, & colour as the larval emergence progresses.
Good little article here: http://www.gofishbc.com/Blog/Fishing-Tips/Blog-5-(3).aspx

Anyone check Canadian Tire?

Just get two doubles and another rod!

Update: Found it. In my truck...
Hey gang,
I believe I lost my grey Patagonia wading belt upstream from Glenmore a couple weeks back. I was so bundled up I didn’t notice I forgot to clip it shut and I think it fell from my belt loops when I was walking the bank upstream.
Really hoping to get it back. There’s a six pack in it for the finder!
Cheers!

I looked and you are right!

Has anyone ever used regular aluminum hex screws for studs? They are only ~$3 for 20 at the hardware store. Wonder how these would work before spending $40-50 on 'specialty' studs.
I've used regular sheet metal screws. They work fine but do wear out after time. I keep a box of screws and a battery-powered screwdriver in my wading bag. The slot-head ones add extra grip!

"Frenchy's". Frenchy's and Barotto's. Moved down to 58th then became the original Wholesale.
I remember going to the fire sale with my dad when I was a kid.
Ribtor was pretty awesome too. For cheap stuff.

Definitely good to be informed. Much info on conservation site management at the link below including inspection and maintenance reports.

Donated what i could.

I've heard of them in Dogpound. Pretty sure I saw a dead one on the bank one day when I crossed it lower down. This was a couple years ago.

I don't understand Loewen's comment regarding, "removing barriers to accessing Albertas fishing spots".
Nothing about access is mentioned in the Plan. I wonder if this comment is directed to fishing spots that need to be accessed on foot. I thought there would be explanation in the Plan but didn't see it.

That's so cool.

Thanks for these updates. Tom's podcasts are great!

Can always call it in to the report a poacher line as well, they can get you in touch with the proper authorities. Lots of poor consultants in the province that just fudge numbers to keep the machines working. Contractors will cut corners whenever they get a chance too, lots of bad outfits when it comes to instream work in this province. Lots of self policing as well, sure you can guess how well that works.
This.

I agree with Brent. The Approval to conduct instream works likely comes with conditions to meet water quality parameters. Contractors and engineers (as a culture) need to know there are people who take this seriously and need to in turn take it seriously themselves.
If you see a visible increase in turbidity report it to the AEP Spill Line / Environmental Hotline. Brent posted the number twice. If you don't have the number handy just google it.
Here's a link if folks are interested in water quality guidelines.

I caught a sock full of rocks at Policeman's a few weeks ago. I assume someone forgot their pontoon boat anchor and tried to improvise. Either that or a murder weapon.

Thanks a lot, guys. I think I'll pick up a couple of the Scottys. I have a couple of the rod holders and also the clamp-on attachments so I haven't had to drill holes. They'll probably work for the anchors too until I decide to permanently install them. Any tips/videos for installing these?
Just get the drill out and go for it?
-
Thanks, guys. Is this the Scotty anchor lock you are suggesting?

Something like this should work!

Hi All,
Does anyone have any links to show what to use and how to install a double (bow and stern) anchor system for a stillwater setup?
I have an old 12 foot aluminum that I use for fly fishing small lakes and am looking to set it up a bit better.
Thanks for any links or recommendations.
Cheers!

There's a Sage VXP listed in the Trading Post section. They're a very nice mid-range rod.
-
Don't really use one except for saltwater either. But those fishpond ones pack up small and are pretty decent.

It's hard to give advice for an 8 weight rod to use for smaller creeks and little trout. Any eight weight will cast far enough and have power to fight small trout. Dry fly presentation will be tough!
If you're looking just to match a reel you already have, you'll need to give more details on budget and what you might want to use it for in the future (e.g., pike, salt, steel, big bullies?). Otherwise just go grab whatever Sage is in your budget and balances the reel (or looks pretty). Or if you've a limited budget, pick up a TFO beater.
That 8010 is a big reel even for an 8 wt.
Cheers!
