I logged in and just tried selecting dates through their online license purchase. It tells you if there are available days, and if not which date ranges have days left.

That is my fear as well Bcube, Heading there for two weeks in the middle of August with the new jet. I hope its not the last time I get to go without a guide.

Sweet. But now what? What are the next steps? How can we as an angling community ensure that this keeps moving forward. A motion is only good if there will be subsequent action taken.

Not on the Elk. Wigwam and Michel only. I checked on Wiggy today. No available spots available for unguided until Aug 1 - Aug 15 (32 spots available), and Sept 1 - Sept 15 (9 spots available) Its a joke, their guides are laughing all the way to the bank right now. They could charge whatever they wanted on those days. They should make it so that if the guide days aren't booked a week in advance, they go to the unguided group. It would sure suck to pay the money XXX months in advance to get yourself a spot to find the river blown out due to storm or whatever. No refunds on the classified license either.

Great idea, done and done.

Thanks guys!

Actually. Just checked their website. I should be able to work with those dimensions. Thanks

Looking for some High Density Polyethylene or something similiar like puck board. Need a 3' X 3' sheet in 10mm thickness, fir a small fabrication project. Tried Rona, Home Depot to no avail. Internet searches turned up a few possibilities but hoping to find it locally. If you have seen any let me know.

My aunt lives in the area, and both of her wells are now dry. There was no prior consultations with land owners in the area, and it seems that the government is taking a, "its your problem" approach.

I heard this was because they are planning on a large bump of water coming from glenmore reservoir. Should be temporary.

hmmm, I never had a problem parking at bankside after hours... Maybe I am just sneakier? I never saw the sign that said it closed there. Whoops...

Unfortunately this section is closed April 1 to May 31, so you will have to fish below the weir just south of downtown. There are a bunch of other access points for you though. If you are worried about the park, then Bankside, on the North end of Fish creek park does not close its parking. This is just off bow bottom trail, before you enter the park "gates"

i took a look at little bow and sunshine snow pack data today. On or below the low average. Shaping up to be another low water year. We could still get lots of moisture, but time is running out. Will also be interesting to see if they draw down ghost as much they did last year. It was basically running its traditional river path. It was the lowest I had ever seen.

Better than the BC license... When you add all of the classified waters license it quickly becomes a novel in your pocket.

Will try some of those leads. Thanks guys.

Looking to find the rubber quick fist clamps for storing oars while in transit. Look like this: https://www.google.ca/search?q=quick+fist+clamp+canada&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=475&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiZ1YWKiYrMAhVDXD4KHftJDl8Q_AUIBigB&dpr=1#imgrc=O1A4I7jw_bxHPM%3A Has anyone seen them locally? Hoping to grab some by the weekend, but if not Ill have to order online. Thanks

Syncline group camp About 20 minutes from crowsnest pass.

How about a ride in one?

I was not replying specifically to Bron, and if that is how it was read then I am sorry. I was more so trying to point out this mistreatment of places like Mac, or the Liv, or most of the river X's in Alberta. I was also trying to do it in a light joking kinda way which, seems like it went way south. It was not an attack. I threw in the jet boat comment as a self depreciating joke, as I just bought one, which I am sure I will catch flak for. Crazy thing is, I was thinking of the closed jet boat thread, and thought to myself man I hope I can be the kind of jet boat owner like Fishhead, seems like he respects the river and other river users. Hard for intention to come across in a web post.

So thats about 5 months? $400 a month isn't too bad. Does that include wood?

Yes. I am sure by now though, that some self entitled a-hole has probably cut the lock, or fence, and driven down because it's his "right" to access where ever the heck he wants to because he pays his taxes. Then he will commence to leave his timmies garbage in a pile right beside the garbage can, burn the crapper down on his way out after having caught 10 98" trout using dew worms, because "remember, I paid my taxes" Guy probably owns a jet boat too.... 😜

The road is fine and driveable, but still closed. A buddy mountain biked it. A fellow I saw at the entrance on the kananaskis side said it was the logging company keeping it closed. Truth? No idea.

Whew, I was worried that the cutty hut was in danger of being homeless once again.

Are they still allowing seasonal campers?

Longview always piqued my interest. 15 mins from black diamond. Closer to k country. Longview saloon has live music all the time. Just a cool little spot.
