Ah man you got it all wrong, you drive yore 4 by into the river stop in the middle, pull out the bucket of rig wash and a long handled brush. Works like a damn.

They'd notice around the Crowsnest area.

And that's a bad thing?

Yes and that part doesn't open until June 15. The part in the city opens June 1

The problem is the Conservation Officers live in the local area. Contrary to what the locals say, the majority of the random campers are locals. The CO's don't like to piss in their own bed. I saw a young female CO get the gears from some yokels who were openly drinking and drunk and throwing beer cans in the Castle. The father of one of these yahoos basically told the young woman that he knew her boss and she would get the "proper interpretation of the law".

My dad used to own a small tree farm and the best deals happen in the fall. Which is also the best time to put in a new tree, contrary to what people think. but as previously mentioned anytime is a good time to plant a tree and usually by the early to mid summer the prices come down considerably. I found a real nice apple tree a few years ago at Walmart for $18.

I caught a beauty rainbow last fall in a slow back eddy on the Crowsnest using that technique, not with a Klink though. I used a EHC and a #20 midge, the fish was facing downstream and sipping midges.

The way I read it was that you couldn't drink in public in the campground. So if you have a trailer you could drink in that, just no beers around the fire. Also if you are in possesion of alcoholic beverages and you haven't opened them I can't see them banning that. That's my take I might be wrong, I've been known to be wrong before.

Well are the Sedin sisters going to have what it takes to tie up the series? Montreal did a fine job last night, everyone mucking and skating and hitting. Henrik and Daniel better take some notes.

Like I said it's kind of like the random camping in Alberta. In both instances when we camped at the two different sites it was a long weekend and both were packed. They didn't have defined sites, we just found a flat space to pitch our tents. The two spots we went to were Summer Lake, northwest of Fernie, and Kidney Lake which is north of Mabel Lake. It is advisable to have a 4X4, I used my truck and was lucky that it was dry because there are some real hairy spots on the forestry roads that go to these, especially Kidney Lake as we continued north when we left and hit the TransCanada around Three Valley Gap. In both cases we never caught any fish, really needed a boat or at least a belly boat, because of a lack of back casting room. It also was apparent that some people were set up for the season.

Maybe if we invested some money into alternative energy instead of just b!tching it's too expensive, these things would come about. That's the problem, it ain't that easy. As they say, "Talk is cheap". And photosynthesis won't drive the family to Kelowna for the summer vacation. Oil drives cars, not gas, not solar, not wind. You can debate all those things but they in essence do not effect "peak oil" Motorized transport is root of the problem, and until someone can come up with a viable replacement, meaning one that can compete with oil and be PROFITABLE, we are where we are.

I have been to two of the BC Forest campsites, they are one step above (or below depending on who you are talking to) the random camping in Alberta. The park rangers come by more often to collect fees, when I went they had a big pile of firewood (don't know if that's the case anymore). There were also outhouses and a one had a water pump the other didn't. The more remote one was a bit of a gongshow, some of the campers had guns and they were shooting them at stuff. we only stayed the one night. The other one was quieter but we got a bit of a hard time because of our Alberta plates, so we stayed two nights. A lot of the ones around Cranbrook and Fernie are situated on classified water so you will need to have paid your daily fee, unless you are only going to fish the lakes. Good luck.

The gist of oil is cars, we drive, the Chinese are starting to drive, the Americans drive. As for when will people cut back? In Europe gas is already 4 Euros a liter, and I saw plenty of Audi A6's blowing down the autobahn at Mach 10. Peak oil is like fishing, possible reserves = someone told you there's a river, probable reseves = you see the river, proven reserves = you see fish in the river, producing reserves = you have caught and landed a fish. People keep finding new rivers and new ways to catch fish.

Alright Les Habitants got by Ovechkin, it would be way cool to have them playing the Canucks in the Cup. Don't thing it'll happen, but a guy has got to dream.

That's a pretty cool video, though not a blow-out, they're taking a "kick" which basically is like plunging a toilet, only in reverse. The formation fluid gets vacuumed into the wellbore, which temporarily causes the formation pressure to overcome the hydrostatic pressure. So the well burps up. I saw a derrickhand get burned doing a trip like the one in the video. Don't smoke on the monkeyboard. I was on a rig that blewout, I wasn't too afraid, though I passed a lot of guys that were. They managed to put out the fire and everyone was okay.

This is about the oldest and deadest horse that has ever been beat. It comes down to someone screwed up on the rig, no one plans to have a catastrophe. If you are reading this thread you are a contributor to the whole, and to make broad based statements and generalized finger pointing is very hypocritical. Whenever the price of gasoline goes up everyone complains, one of the reasons for the increase in the price of oil is the fact that it costs more to produce a barrel now, in discounted dollars, than it did 40 years ago. One of the biggest reasons for the this, is the increased environmental cost of operation. If every tanker that shipped oil was double hulled the cost would be borne by the consumer, you and me. If you want to see some really wild tailings pond go visit an open pit mine, coal, copper, gold, there's some toxicity for you to see. What it all comes down to is the fact that oil & gas is a really easy target for the environuts, it's everywhere and rich and bad and big and dirty and evil and.....I've said enough.

Tianna, of course they are mocking us, and it is after all "art". They never did catch any fish, it's closer to synchronized swimming, or should I say synCHROMIzied. LOL (I kill myself)

those who fish recreationally. Guilty as charged under the CANADIAN system.

I'm cheering for all the Canadian based teams, I personally think Gary Bettman has a vendetta against the Canadian teams. He has stopped the return of a team to Winnipeg and a team in Hamilton and even said the same things about a return to Quebec. He really wants LA to keep going and so it would be great to have Vancouver take them out.

I went to a couple of presentations on this project and from what I was told there will be options for the river runners through that section of the river. From challenging for the whitewater kayak types, to easy for the rafters. That being said, I don't think you'd want to be hosed out of your gourd in a inner tube trying to go down it. So I would say it will increase the numbers of river traffic, but I would think that it will only effect the portion of the river down to Fish Creek. By the way when will someone smarten up and put a gate in by the access at Lafarge? User traffic should be an indication that something there is needed.

Believe it or not but I have always had success early in the spring on the Bow with a size 12 Adams.

Let's dust this off and I for one will throw my playoff allegiance behind the canukleheds. Sweedish twins ooooh.

My biggest was a real hefty 27+ brown and rainbow was 25. I don't take too many pics.

Yep she's all over 'cept for the cryin'
