That sounds suspect at best.
Not like an "officer" to not state his name and leave contact information such as a file number and how to contact them.
It will be interesting to see where this goes. When this issue cme up earlier this year I tweeted Nenshi, and within two days a city employee contacted me and said it would be dealt with.
A week later there was the post saying the chain was down, so I thought that was the end of it. Doesn't seem that way now.

I would definitely watch some Hank Patterson videos on youtube. You will definitely be able to catch fish then.
But.....
if you really want to ply your trade then I would hede the advice above.

DrBullet (Nigel), Deb, Nigel's buddy John, and I had an EPIC day up at Loomis Lake yesterday!
The weather was spectacular as was the fishing with many, many cutties between 14" and 17" caught (most on an Adams varient or another mayfly imitation)!!
Here's a teaser... More to come!!

I know I posted already, but massive props on this photo!
Please tell me it wasn't done with a point click.

My God what a beautiful picture.....can't wait for more.

If you wanted to do bit of hike also (gret time to do it with good weather and fall colors) pickle jar or elbow lake in kananaskis could be a good choice.
-
It wont be the popular choice and people will bemoan it...but....
My first reel was the White River HCII. Super Cheap, like $30. I have dropped it, thrown it, froze it, overheated it, never cleaned it, scratched it, caught large fish, caught small fish and downright abused it. The thing still works like the day I bought it. It is indestructible and cheap. Still have it and use it to this day.
Which means you can spend more money on a better line and Rod. I think these two are more important than the reel (flame away)
Edit* It is heavy, so if you go with something really nice (usually lighter) for rod it will probably throw the balance off.

Too funny Rick

You're getting pretty good at sliding on your ass Tex!
Looks like a great trip.
Recon out

I would like to see the Bow turned into catch and release only.
Those that want to go for freezer food can go to the put and take lakes.

That's what happens when you are young and fit, Rev!!!

The only sounds coming out of Petes tent was snoring. Not sure if it was Deb or Pete though.

Now that looks like an awesome trip! Mouse eating brookies! Awesome

pardon my ignorance but this "egypt" is referring to a lake as opposed to the country right?
Yes

I wonder how many FFC'ers are getting Viagra and Male enhancement pills popping up in the random spot? hahahahaha
I keep getting Westjet ads, Man does that mean I travel too much???

Nice job Recon!

Dry Fly Rainbow
By jasonvilly at 2012-09-05
Caught this guy on a streamer on Sunday. Streamers seemed to be the key was never a distinct hatch happening. Black nymphs were hot for awhile, and I did manage a few nice bows on a black EHC

Enjoying my korkers so far. Replaceable bottoms which I have done once this summer (I put on a lot of miles) I find the vibram soles pretty good at gripping even the slippiest of rocks. And there is an option to buy a vibram sole with cleats if you need that added traction.
Have not had any of the soles falling off problem, like some people will undoubtably mention from the previous models.
I purchased the Redside edition. Cost $125 so pretty affordable. Replacement soles are about $30. Decent ankle support. Only thing I didnt like was the laces they put on them. They have this clip that would only go so big, which made it squishy when trying to stick your foot in with waders on. But this was resolved with a new pair of laces with out the clip thing.

What about braided leaders? Tom Rosenbauer on the or the orvis podcast was talking about using them for dry fly presentations in low clear technical waters.

You tell a great tale Rick!
Sounds lie your wife and my fiancé are cut from a similar cloth. However mine would have used a little more colorful language.

Hey
Just got back from San Francisco after our 3 day hike to Egypt. Big shout out to Troutlover for putting the trip together. Thanks to the rest of the guys for making it so memorable, still talking about the trip to whoever will listen. Didnt take a lot of photos a lot of the guys posted pictures already, so I just picked a couple of my favourites.
Beauty of a cuttie, one of the biggest and probably most colored I caught

Hello Gorgeous!!!
By jasonvilly at 2012-08-14
You had to earn your fishing opportunities on this trip, which is the way to go, definitely not park and fish in 5 minutes.

Nice rods indeed and like Darrin said it will be even better to see them in person. Sure hope Deb doesn't look on FFC.
-
P.S.
If AJ ever leaves you, don't worry. I'll tag along to NZ, keep you company and cook you the finest ramen you've ever had.
True story
Ramen noodles....Sounds like a keeper Dave. If you ever leave that lady who loves to fish and camp with you then you have a backup plan.... Hahaha
-
Definitely one of those thankless type jobs that no one truly realizes. However without them there would be no FFC.
Thank you gentlemen.

is it just in BC where its illegal to keep a fish hooked anywhere then its mouth? Just curious, i like the video though.
I think you are thinking about the term "snagging" but my understanding that means with a gaff hook or some other device designed to purposefully snag a fish. Snagging a fish by such means is illegal in alberta if you look under general regulations.
Foul hooking a fish is not considered snagging by my interpretation.
Awesome video, you were pretty close.

Any problems this year getting a yearly pass?
