[A glorious 20 trout afternoon with Browns, Cutts and Lil Birdies and a Big Moose!!]

Pretty good day, well done

[You can see some beautiful creatures big and small while out on a trout stream in this province]

Nice, I enjoyed that video!

[River Etiquette]

I'm amazed that this is not common knowledge  by now. I still have issues every year, and I fish mainly off the beaten path as to not encounter many anglers.

Usually would be under warranty with most companies.

[Post fishing pictures]

Really nice pics everyone!!

[Runoff?]

Already finding a lot of dead fish on the smaller creeks/tribs. Low flow and warmer temps doing damage.

[Classic]

Wow great story. Love the freestyle tying as well.

[Alaska: Aniak River Lodge]

OMG what a place!! Amazing, and well presented.

[Cabin on the Liv]

Should be crown land, as far as I know.

[Threepoint Creek]

Fished it on Saturday morning, flow was ~2m3/s and water was still a bit murky. 3 bulls on an egg sucking leech. Saw some risers here and there. Pretty good day, other then the wind.

[A couple more...]

Thats a beaut!!

[Central alberta browns]

I do not blame fishermen, I really lay the blame on the lack of effort on behalf of Govt, travelling Angler's  or commercial guiding operations for taking absolutely no effort to prevent WD arriving .

Oh sure, others could also be the culprits however, but that doesn't minimize the contempt we should all have for those that did nothing.

As far as Angler's getting all hot and bothered about doing something NOW.. Do not you realize WD is in evey watershed from the N. Sask south.  Too little effort taken far too late.

Totally agree, well said.

Looks pretty good. Not bad for a first attempt.

[Before this photo gets removed again...]

Beautiful fish by the way!!

[Trout Id Key]

That is a good tool.

[Whirling Disease]

I agree there is an issue here for sure, and that fisherman can help somewhat to prevent further spread. But i also know that you can not blame fisherman entirely. These are recreational waterways with a lot of people, and wild life.

I don't know if I would call 14yrs a quick process at all.

[Rivers Re-Opened ?]

On Sunday Aug 23 my nephew and I were questioned, by a Fish and Wildlife CO, about fishing the Jumping Pound. He stopped us in the Pine Top parking lot and explained to us that there was an emergency closure of the Jumping Pound, and many other rivers due to high temps and so on. I politely explained to him that all the rivers except one, reopened on the 21st. He seemed shocked by this info, but said it made sense after all the rain, and the cooler temps. I then asked him if he wanted to see our licenses, he said no and drove off. My question, should a CO not be the first one to know that these rivers have opened? Would he have not gotten a bulletin or something? How many fisherman did he prevent from fishing that weekend? Just curious if anyone else had an encounter like this.
