  1. Anyone ever do this? I was talking to some guys in Montana who said it is a must do. Thinking about applying for a permit in January for this upcoming august. 59 miles. 1 put in 1 take out. 4 days on the river. Would also be looking for those interested in joining for the adventure.
  2. I own the V6 grand Cherokee. Love mine. 250,000 km still going strong. Gets pretty decent mileage, however the power range is a little weak. If you are planning on towing I wouldn't recommend it. If you do want to go grand Cherokee and need to tow I would look at the 3l diesel that they had a couple years ago. I have experience with them as well and they are extremely fuel efficient and lots of power to tow.
  3. Sunday was definitely a beautiful day to be outdoors. Got an opportunity in the afternoon to fish with hydroman for the first time.I didn't catch many fish but it sure was an enjoyable day with great company. Judging from the stories Rick shared when we fished I bet you guys were just a hoot and hollering on the bank.
  4. My father in law did this trip. He had a blast. Might not help but June is no good for a teacher but if you would consider early July, I would be interested in that.
  5. Not fishing related I own a bit of land with my mom near ghost dam. Too far for me to go and check every weekend....anyway neighbour called and said someone had cut down about 30 feet of fence and was quadding on the land. He went to investigate and saw them pulling off a big buck with their quad. (He wasn't sure if I gave them permission) I doubt I would give permission to cut my fence, would have been nice if he got their plate number. So they illegally trespass, cut down a fence, and poach a deer. GRRRRRR :$*%&: There goes fishing Saturday, got to go mend some fence.
  6. Thinking about getting into tying my own flies. Just starting to research everything so no decisions have been made. Looking at starter kits and think I have one picked out. However it doesn't come with materials. Been looking around on ebay and thought this might be a good deal just to get started with some of the basic things before it turns into a money pit. What do you think? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/FLY-TYING-MATERIALS...=item3cbcbc7e87
  7. Rick I will need to borrow your ferrari and maybe a little pocket money. Also if you had a map of where exactly I should stand on 8th ave (your honey hole please) to find these girls.....it would be very much appreciated. I promise not tell anyone what I was using or where I went.
  8. What the heck Rick! You mean the custom 20/20 club t shirt that I ordered in august and have been wearing everyday isn't cool? Man times have changed ;-)
  9. I caught a couple of yellowstone cutts while in yellowstone park. They were no where near as colorful as those fish. Love the waterfall picture as well.
  10. Jeremie I will believe you if you do the same for me.... legit 20" fish on a size 20 trico fly in early August, but I haven't had my camera since it took a dip with me on the Highwood. People may not believe me but I still think about it when I go to bed. Awesome feeling.
  11. Even more mind boggling is why calgarians keep re-electing her useless ass.
  12. Here is the article.... http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Sanction...1411/story.html Nothing in it about how they will stop the abuse. Mention in the article how they host this float every couple of years. Obviously it isn't doing much to initiate action and change
  13. Pffffftttttt why go South like everyone else. Bunch'o'lemmings. I hear that Kamchatka is balmy and beautiful that time of year if you bring a parka and good boots. ;-) Go catch some of dem big wild mouse eating rainbow trout and salmon on the Zhupanova. (Do I need to insert a sarcasm note here? I don't want anyone to confuse the above as an actual honest to goodness post when all I am doing is merely trying to bump up my post number. But in all seriousness those rainbows would be awesome. But I guess if a guy HAS to go somewhere warm and sip Mi Tai's Costa Rica, Cuba and Belize would be my choices. In that order.)
  14. Is that bigger rock in the first picture Micah?
  15. Good reminder about the NW section of the Bow which I tend to fish quite a bit. Only 10 days left to fish it.
  16. MMMMM I would go help rid this area of this dastardly brookie invasion......old fashioned tailgate fry up when we are done!!!!
  17. Store it in my garage, I will take care of it for you (it goes without saying however I will use it until the ice jams come)
  18. Here is the link http://www.calgaryherald.com/Parks+Canada+...1926/story.html
  19. Wow Rick.......I have no words.....devastating.
  20. FNG, If I remember correctly the brodin nets are not very good at protecting ones butt when they fall.
  21. Will only build sit in there? What about browns?
  22. Info: Plunge pools or where water drops quickly over rocks. Question: What is the best way to cast into these bad boys so that you can attain proper drift through the entire pool. Will fish even sit in the actual faster water away from the drop. I know that they will be on the edges between the faster and slower water and near the tail out, but there has to be some sitting in the faster current near the bottom. It just seems I never get the drift I want through them with dries or nymphs. I will try to get a picture of the type I am talking about this weekend. Thanks
  23. Me either, when I hit he one curve the 100 km gust almost blew me off the road.
  24. I'm thinking I need some streamers......... I just about spit my coffee out reading your post. When I first started this fly thing a little over a year ago I did it with the premonition that it would be a cheap way to entertain myself while everyone else I know is working during the summer. Your post and my experience have taught me different. Exactly a year ago I took my first lesson: since hen I have accumulated 4 rods, 3 reels, many cases with flies I have know idea what they are imitating, lost a net and two sets of pliers. I feel that is a llot in a year, now I am terrified about what will happen in the next 5 years. How long will it take me to accumulate as much as you?
