Anyone see any of the stores in Calgary carrying these? Simms rip rap wading shoe I usually only see them in the states. I've blown through my second pair. They last about a 2 seasons with the abuse I put them through. Best option I have found for wet wading.

Damn fine addition, very cool piece to have around the home!

My concern is that there are no regulations barring upstart companies other than the hoops you have to go through with Health Canada. These small companies will cut into the profit margin of the bigger more established companies. Also, what happens if/when big toboacco companies decide to start producing? Established companies with distribution and manufacturing facilities already in place, and no need to go to the banks for investment. That is a scary proposition. Again, too many unknown variables for my investment taste.

Maybe....they will go off eventually. And that is if you pick the right one. The rationale of go big could also mean you go home with nothing. I'm not entirely convinced it is a Buy stock yet. Still too many unknowns. Time will tell.

There is a new Canadian ETF that trades in marijuana. Would mitigate your risk by investing in many companies. Fairly low MER at 0.75 http://www.horizonsetfs.com/etf/HMMJ

Glad it worked out for you!! Some good people around here!

How fast is the water moving where it is? Even if it is a walking pace current, there will be a ton of down force on the boat due to its large surface area. People power may not be enough. Last time a boat needed to be recovered, they had to have a tractor pull on it to dislodge it. However maybe with some come alongs or a winch you might be able to get it moving???

Glad that they are all okay!!! What the heck happened? I have a jet and would help, but unfortunately not available in the next couple of days.

Why in their right minds would they allow the river to become silty when it is spawning season? So bassackwards

The committee investigating as to whether we should bid on the 2026 winter olympics is looking for your input. Have your say here: https://www.shouldcalgarybid.com/ Takes about 5-10 minutes.

Here you go: https://talkaep.alberta.ca/fisheries-management-survey-south-saskatchewan-region

Passed. Here is an article with a limited scope explanation of what was passed. http://calgaryherald.com/storyline/by-the-numbers-calgarys-new-river-access-strategy

Sounds awesome. Looking forward to it. Is there good enough access to walk and wade around there, or should I bring the jet boat out of storage early?

I believe ironbow does driftboat lessons.

http://show.flyfishingclub.org/ Found this online, coincides with my spring break. Fly Fishing Symposium Mar 25-26 Has anyone been, what did you think? I have also never fished the Columbia or Kootenay rivers. From my early research, both seem to be open during that time. Might be fun to do a combo (symposium and few days of early spring swinging)

I have the travel light silver sonics. Have had them for 4 years now. Not sure they make them anymore. They get used and abused! Never had a single manufacturer problem with them. I did put a hole in them with a nail a year in. Sent them back, replaced no questions asked. A pretty hardy wader. Only this fall did they finally develop a leak. Went way beyond what I thought they would do I will be buying Orvis silver sonics again. My 2 cents.

There are lots of good trees off of the powederface trail (which I believe is close to the Junior Wardens) You are able to get the $5 tree cutting permit that you mentioned, which is good for 3 christmas trees I believe. However, powderface closes soon (Dec 15 if I recall) and, if you go that route make sure you have a 4 x 4, with the snow that road can get pretty slippery.

$84 at fish tales, purchased last April.

I hate seeing people get burned. I have been burned before, and know how much it sucks. What were you hoping to get out of your guided day Sallinger? i am no where neara guide but, perhaps myself or someone on the board could help you out? I see you're in cochrane area. I float that section quite a bit....and the bow.....hike a lot as well.

What defines quality spawning habitat?

There was just an episode on Discovery's Daily Planet about the use of drones and biological surveys. They were testing drones that had algorithm software to count birds on a beach. They also had humans count the same fake birds from a distance. The humans were far more accurate than the drones, there were some problems with the identification algorithms (picking up people as birds etc)

Had a similar experience last spring. A guy came ripping down the bow within citg limits, I called RAP, who then passed me onto CPS, who directed me to 311, which patched me through to Bylaw, who then connected me with CFD. After a half hour of being connected, the Fire department came down to the river with sirens and lights a blaring. I had to walk 20 minutes to them, because no road was close by. When the 3 firemen met with me, they we were very concerned about the person in the water. I had to tell them that no one fell in the water, but a jet boat was in the water. They didn't seem to care...... I mentioned that this was illegal, they weren't sure, so they contacted their chief. Then they told me to call RAP, it is there problem. It was the total run around...not one of them knew who was actually responsible for enforcing the bylaw. Who knows what happened to that guy, in that jet boat. I did some sleuthing on my own, I found his truck at Glenmore...Where I was fishing was a long way south of glenmore. He motored a heck of a long way within city limits.

Was he actually using his motor when you saw him? Or just floating?

Excellent work TUC

http://www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=43055590A1618-D3D6-75F3-574E1DCB73E15B73 I thought this was coming. I figured in my head before seeing this that we would see closures by mid July. Hope for rain and cool temps.
