In all my years of fishing the elbow river, probably about 10, I've only ever caught one fish. it was the skinniest most pathetic looking brown trout you could ever imagine right under neath macleod trail by the stampede grounds. i've heard whispers on this board and others about the variety of species and sizes available to those who dedicate the time to fish the elbow river downstream from the city's source of drinking water. I'm just a kid who wants to catch some fish, just broke my curse yesterday with a nice rainbow but I've been trying to catch something for a few weeks now.

Never fished it dude im only 14 so i haven't been able to get out and fish right now the rivers suck right now do to run off and all the snow but i will get out soon. The evenings is when it's good though from 7:00 till dark is the best fishing. I have caught alot in the evening where ever i go. I haven't caught a fish since june but you just have to find them.

This one is better than the first one I posted I think... shows a bunch of toads holding and some are on spawning beds, .... this is shot in a no fishing location.
Where is this at ?
-
I was wondering what the best net is. And how much it costs ?
And if you can replace your netting for your net ? And if you can replace it how much it costs ?
Because i have one that has rips in it and there starting to get bigger as i fish and land fish in it.

It's over for the Sharks. And Vancouver is going to kill either Tampa Bay or Boston in the finals for the cup but probably the bears will come into the finals and the Canucks will take there bears down for the cup.

Well, he had some help from dad.. but still!
Took the munchkin to Spruce Meadows Pond today for his first fishing trip, and he had a blast! Ran into Bobloblaw there, so that was a nice surprise as well! It was a bit drizzly when we first got there, but it actually cleared up pretty good. There were some sporadic risers all over, and we could see some mayflies coming off the water, so I rigged up a double fly rig with an emerger and a small black adams. After a few casts with no interest, I asked Noah if he wanted to try another spot.. he says yes and runs over to a nice little corner. First cast in that location, and we had on a nice little rainbow!
Moved to another spot a little bit after that and managed another little guy about the same size. I made sure to bring food and drink, and ask him lots of times if he was still okay. After ~3 hours, he was still having fun and I actually had to tell him we were leaving. So I'd say his first trip was a success!
Landing net ready to go.. I'm diggin the positive attitude!
Concentration!
Nice little rainbow
Proud boy!
I actually had his own rod for him to use.. a little Zebco collapsible rod from Can Tire. Went to open it for the first time today and the tip fell out! Probably should've checked it after we bought it.. oh well! We did alright with the 7'6" 3 weight..
It was my first time there as well and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to take their little kids out. Excellent location and pretty easy casting from pretty much anywhere around the pond. We'll be going again for sure!
That's sick i remember me catching my first fish and it was a pike im only 14 so i still remember. But i didn't do it fly fishing like he did nice work buddy.

I apologize in advance if this has been covered before....
I am looking for a small pond in Calgary with public access that has lots of small fish that a 4-6 year old will be able to catch fish pretty easily with a spin cast rod from shore.
Any suggestions?
Try Sibbald it has small fish and some big ones they stock it quite a lot and a lot of kids go there for some fun fishing. You catch them with in 2 minutes. Try it
-
I just got out for the first time in a few months. Casting was rusting.
Has anyone tried the practice rods with yarn line? Your take? I saw them at the FF expo, but didn't have an interest at the time.
Yea they are pretty fun little toys. I was thinking of buying one but you will use them and then it will just sit there. Ya but i saw them at wholesale sports some guy was sitting there casting it in the fly shop. He said it was 40 bucks.

yesterday there were none to be seen and today they are all over the place down here. NooOOOOoooooOOOOO!!!!!!!
I hate the little buggers. There are so many down here that people just ... give up, so when I have 3 lawns west of me covered in them and I try to keep mine dandelion free it's a pain in the arse.
Anyone got any suggestions? Does a strong fertilizer really do any good.. some people say the better your lawn is the less the weeds grow, but I haven't seen conclusive evidence and I feel like if I fertilize my lawn I am just fertilizing the weeds.
share your dandelion fighting tips/ tricks / stories in this thread!!
Poison them. Go get poison stuff from home depot or rona and places like that. Or take the weed waker or lawn mower and that should kill them buggers

The last couple of summers, I am finding all sorts of ant hills all over my lawn and garden. Do any of you have any ancient family secrets how to get rid of or control these little monsters. A guy cant even play bocce and have a beer in his back yard without being over run by ANTS
Take a hose and drowned it. Or go to home depot or something and get poison for insects or weeds and pour it on the hill and it should kill them with in 2 minutes then take a shovel and shovel the hill out of your yard that will do the job. AND KILL THE QUEEN ANT !

Wholesale sports or bass pro shops ?

The EASY way to catch fish

I don't lose fish EVER. I'm not divulging my secrets either.
I love WFN but unfortunetly i don't have it anymore. And yes i have lost fish before jumping out of the air. Good technique
-
And you can't enforce a regulation change if you don't have money to buy gas for CO trucks! Increase the license fees!
Nice work man Im with you there we should be helping and saving our mountain streams. People need to recognize that

I have three questions about fly jackets and waders
Is anybody's fly jacket bulky on them when they fish with it on ?
And does it match your waders ?
And does it have to match with your waders ?

Bought this reel on facebook and I was wondering what it is worth.
Probably about 100 bucks to 300 bucks not sure though.

Nice fish man, beautiful rainbows

Yea i have never sharpened my hooks and they seem to do just fine but i
should probably look into getting them sharpened soon. I have actually never thought of sharpening
my hooks for some reason.

Anybody got any tips on tying flies or making them or where to get your material ?
And does it cost less to make your own flies or buy them ?
And how much does it usually cost to get your material ?
Caught And Landed My First Cutthroats !

Hey everyone i went up to Running Rain Lake today at 7:30 got their at about 9:30 and started throwing some caddis on top and had no luck for 20 minutes. Then some of my buddys saw some cutthroats in the water clear as day looking for food after that long winter and i got over their and started throwing some caddis on top when my hook got stuck in one of the pine tree's and broke off with my hook and a foot of my leader went with it. So that's when i decided to throw a indicator with a split shot and a chronomid on then that's when 4 cuttthroats started checking out the chronomid for a a minute or so then left. They came back 2 minutes later and the biggest one out of all of them which was 12 or 13 inches took it and decided he wanted to fight. I got him in and got the hook out and took a couple pictures that i was not able to get on here but at the end of the day i caught 6 cutthroats and left the lake as a really happy man. All of the cutthroats where a decent size around 10 , 11 inches and it's espicially a good place to go to hangout catch some fish and relax , i must have saw about 25 in the water clear as day till 2:00 then that's when we decided to head out.
