I honestly may never buy another rod shorter then 10' I find it does everything really well and is as maneuverable as a short rod on everything but the smallest creeks..... thats just me though I will likely go even longer if I can find something in a lighter weight then most longer rods like this http://products.gloomis.com/gl/products/fl...D=1183851558537 or this one http://products.gloomis.com/gl/products/fl...D=1183851665302 the last one must be a sweet rod I may have to place an order........

Cool story. Sounds a lot like the bull I caught yesterday cept mine took a golden stone. That and mine had about 30 seconds of really good fight in him before he tired. I once landed a mid size rainbow and as I was unhooking (a beautiful hookset to the corner of the mouth) I noticed a piece of fishing line coming out the back end of the fish and hanging out about a foot...... So I gave it a gentle tug and realized that it was still attached to a hook. I looked in the mouth and saw a small nymph caught deep inside. The line had managed to make its way through but the hook had not. So I pulled the fly out and the line came all the way through. Fly was an oddball (I believe a a gray nymph pretty basic but with a blood red tail) so I tied it on and caught a dozen or so fish on it. That fly saved what had started out as a pretty slow day..... And I am pretty sure that the fish didn't miss it either

SWEET fish BS. Do you mind if I steal that pic?

LMAO that gets the Random post of the week award

my thermometer here in canmore currently says 45 degrees at 7:30 pm....... and its not in direct sunlight..... none the less I have a sneaking suspicion that it might be a little off...... But I can also say that right now in Canmore it is HOT

Yeah understandable thats why I don't post my face on here we have enough ladies on here already. And you guys would get sick of the "Chris marry me!" threads and the "Lone Fisher is such a hunk" threads pretty quick....... AHHHH sometimes its a curse.........

Oh and the pics with people in em are generally not me. I think you know Glen, and if you want to know the names of the other guys just let me know and I will make sure its ok with them.

no problem MTB go right ahead. And as per your message I can send you the big files if you prefer I just figured in this scale they would likely be big enough but if you want the full size pics I think they run around 3500 pixels each and I can email you the ones you want. A couple were off other cams as well and I may not have the full size files. Anyways just let me know

OK well 6x makes a bit more sense since you were fishing the surface. Still I usually won't use under 5 on the surface either but sometimes the fish dictate what you have to use right

Use stronger line man! Last time I was down I fished 10lb mono and landed every fish I hooked. Come summer time I go lighter but I usually never fish lighter then 5x even with the tiny stuff. And you will soon hook a couple of the rainbows that make you think that way if you spend much time down there. The cutts are the pushovers in that stream.

I hate to sound like as ass but I say good on ya, he might think twice next time. The fact that the incident evolved that far is a shame but atleast you stood tall.

yeah that cutt is unreal. Thanks for posting the shots guys...... I kinda thought Glen woulda dumped a few more up here as well but evidently he is to busy being clever......

yeah toss em up Max. If anyone else has any they wanna toss up as well go ahead.

asked this in the parking lot at the top of the spray lakes hill above canmore by an older german woman with her husband G-umm vat dis dat sign mean ve drive past? Me- Sorry what sign?? G- vell it said effalance areea? No stopping Me- effalance..... effalance hmmmm avalanche area? avalanche area no stopping G- what does it mean? Me- avalanche means the snow can fall down and hit the road (this is accompanied with some very vague hand gesturing which were apparently misinterpreted to mean that the mountain was going to fall over) Her face turns almost white she turns and hits her husband and starts giving him *hit in German all I caught was something along the lines of I told you not to stop there. I tried to explain that the major concern was about snow and that since it was spring and the snow was gone it it was not so dangerous but I don't think the point ever got accross.

Hey I think a couple of these were posted on the other site but since someone mentioned it I figured I would post some pics of the k lakes from this year. Heres a few of the first batch the rainbows..... (ok a couple bulls slipped in as well) Still have to add a couple more to the rainbows but I gotta get em off my cam. I have a pic of bloom with a rediculous bow from the lower...... now to find my camera LOL Anyways first photo post on the new site so enjoy.......... that is if it works of course good chance I screwed something up I will try and post the bulls tommorrow or sometime

I was once asked how old a random tree was..... I looked and pretended to think and said 145 years old give or take. I am much more inclined to BS when I am not working. Once had a yankee ask a co worker what sort of scrambled eggs she was eating because they were so yellow, he replied without missing a beat. They're special eggs imported from france, she was thrilled...... In truth..... they came out of a bag from bridgebrand I believe. I was once asked what the rules were for climbing trees...... I was stumped with that one I also love being asked if my accent is Canadian. I once asked where an american was from he replied new york...... So I said which province is that again? Ontario? Playing dumb is fun sometimes.

One of the presenters mentioned a venue in the US where they built a trout stream for the expo...... any chance of that? I am sure the answer is no but I figured I'd ask. Other then that this sounds like a great expo especially the trout pond with trout! Thanks for coming on and giving us the info

I'm sure a few more will come back to me....... too long in the parks customer service industry........ way way to long Oh yes -pointing at a coyote- is that a wolf or d'ya'll call em dingos up here

I want to talk to the manager a squirrel just bit my daughter!!! Why did it bite her? She was trying to feed him!! Well.... squirrels are wild animals and you are not actually supposed to feed them as they are wild...... there is actually a fine for that I think Oh..... Well then why do you let them in here? Like I said they are wild and they can basically go where they want..... Well if their not pets can I ring its neck? No sir its illegal to kill animals in the national park We'll see about that!

What re those little critters out there they look like the squirrel we have back home? They are squirrels...... Oh neat did somebody bring them up here for ya?

What do you call rivers up here in Canada? Rivers sir No I mean in your language?

what do you mean by a gravel road? It isn't paved you drive on gravel..... whats gravel?
