  1. http://www.lethbridgeherald.com/local-news...erve-51911.html Ducks Unlimited purchases a large area around Bullshead in Southwest Alberta. Going to make it their flagship...Read on.
  2. Who does this crap? Honestly it takes some pretty hefty and heavy snips to get through barbed wire, and this is not something I would consider as an essential item in my goin' fish'n kit. Probably the same people who think leaving garbage behind is okay and that throwing out your cigarette butts on the ground is okay. It only takes 1 to ruin it for all.
  3. http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-sp...QAdIdZ281613971 Nothing like the scorn of a woman. She is selling all of his stuff on kijiji. If you recognize any of the gear maybe you will let him know before it is too late.
  4. Hopefully they haven't mutated into their cousin the Nile perch....you could be in for a fish that fights back.
  5. Question: Bought a set up awhile ago for bone fishing. It is the avid series saltwater line. I am thinking about heading out pike fishing and was wondering if the saltwater line would be okay to use? I assume it won't float as well but should work, it shouldn't hurt the line I don't think. It would be nice to not have to buy something new for only a couple of excursions this spring.
  6. Hey Have been contemplating the purchase of a pontoon for awhile now. Read some of the reviews but would like to see what board members think of this one. Outcast Fish Cat Streamer XL- IR Pontoon Boat Seems like it would be okay for Bow and possibly some lakes. Thoughts?
  7. Nice Job Greg Can't wait to get out again and see the new skillz/ I went out from about 5-7 last night. Chocolate was the word, tons of bug life, but tough fishing for sure. Managed 1 small rainbow that would have made a nice meal for your monster before I called it quits. J
  8. Snowshoe fishing? Sounds fun!
  9. I paid for two of my trips 14 bullshead and 21 TFO rod via visa with TU last week. Still owe for the golden trip.
  10. Plan on using it for a Steelheading trip in late august. I like the idea of the kit, but I have not even picked up a spey rod let alone try to cast one. I would have no idea about whether something is right or not. I just wanted to get something that would be workable for the time being so that I can practice before heading out to BC
  11. So I won the auction for the 14ft 9wt TFO rod. Been doing some research and I think I have come up with two choices that would work. Or I could be totally wrong. Let me know either way. Need a line before I attempt to learn. I contacted TFO and they recommended 550 grain short belly Option1 Rio skagit multi tip 550 grain. $174 Option 2 SA Mastery Series Spey Shorthead Multi Tip. On sale for $90 regular $174. They don't have the grain weight of 550 but call it a 9wt line. Is this the same as 550 grain? Google wouldn't tell me. I like this deal just for the price, but ultimately will pick what will work best with the rod. If my research is right I think these lines would work? Am I correct or totally wrong? I truly know nothing yet....but it will come.
  12. Will you actually be able to take the kids fishing? I know with the district I teach in you can't have kids within 100 feet of water due to liability issues. Even going to a pool requires about 8 pages of paperwork per kid. It is sad how little you can actually do with the kids.
  13. Ummmm by choice? Or does your personality have a little too much musk?
  14. Cool, seems like a bit of interest. PM me your bb pin and I will add you to the group. I have also left it open so if you want to add anyone to the group you are more than welcome to it. J
  15. What about quirk creek. Only 35 minute drive to parking lot from cochrane and another 45 minutes to hike into. He will get a fishing trip and hiking trip all in one.
  16. $100 on 28 There should be another auction for spey lessons now that I am the proud owner of a new TFO spey rod.
  17. Hey I am in a snowboarding blackberry messenger group. Whenever someone wants to go, offering a ride, or needs partners they post to the BB group. You can also upload pictures, calendars events etc. Just wanted to see if anyone would be interested in a flyfishing around Calgary one. Unfortunately it would be exclusionary because you need to have a blackberry and messenger. If there is some interest shown here after a couple of days I will create the group. You would just have to PM your BB pin so I could add you. Cheers Jason
  18. They have a redneck fishing tournament in Illinois for these invasives every year. Check out the site. Looks fun and dangerous. 40 lbs of fury flying at your face. Watch the video on the left, guy gets a huge blackeye and broken nose. http://www.redneckfishingtournament.com/ We should put an FCC team in next year.
  19. I think you made your point extremely well. Referencing the illegal squatters and how you took the responsible route was a nice touch. It will be interesting to see what if any response you get. Btw I love that campground. Found it last year when I was exploring the area with my rod, stayed 3 days and was planning on more this summer. Good luck hopefully your letter changes their mind.
