How about you get out the old kitchen knife, harvest them, and make some delicious salads. I was skeptical once too but don't be.

Both of my solutions are non-eco-friendly so look away tree huggers. Spray foam in the ant hills and gasoline on the ant trails works every time.

Will be paid up ASAP. Had an unexpected expense pop up but should be caught up by the end of May. Sorry for the delay. BTW Rick, Andrew says to give him a shout on Facebook. Thanks again.

Really? Is there nothing that doesn't rub the Calgary boys wrong? LMAO Just bugging you boys. It is legal below the high water mark as well as all Crown land but also a gray area as there are many restrictions for open fires. For those that do it, as long as it is responsibly done, there are no issues. For us southern Alberta boys and girls, it's the only way to have a hot lunch on the river. I usually kick my remains into the creek so there's no problems and no "visual scarring".

I cannot do those specific dates. I will retract my bid for someone else to bid on it. Sorry if I caused an issue.

Hey Rick. I'm supposed to tell you to get in touch with Andrew Burla in regards to a donation.

$150 on 18 and $50 on 16 please.

Not a word of a lie, Andrew (drbulltrout) dines on these in the summer for a quick snack. Like dryfly said, cook them. I've been proven wrong about the taste of them last summer.

$225 on 22 and $50 on 18 please.

Does anyone have any extra tickets for Tiesto's Calgary or Edmonton show? My business partner is a huge fan and would love to go. Thanks.

$75 on 14 please.

I understand this. What it is that I am trying to convey is that rainbow trout are destroying the genetics far worse in our streams compared to the so-called evil fish, the brook trout. Why is it that no one is putting out the recommendation of massive bag limits for rainbows in our mountain streams as opposed to ONLY brook trout? Here' s a quick test to see which species has had more of an impact: in the last 5 years, how many "cuttbows" has everyone caught as opposed to the "brookbulls"? Just curious; and Taco, maybe you should change your signature to include rainbows if you feel that passionately about your headwater streams. To harps; I found Smitty's comments brash as he "rejected my thesis outright" on the basis that I was pandering "fear-mongering". Read back and you will see that that was the exact opposite that I was trying to convey. All I was trying to get across is that any opinion, whether in favor of natives, non-natives, environmentalist, etc., has to take in all perspectives and not just lay their convictions on a one-way street. If one is adamant about ridding brook trout because they cause overcrowding and genetic dilution, then they best be prepared to go the same route with the rainbow. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Wow. I find these last two comments quite brash. I guess I'll just keep my opinions and comments to myself then. Sorry to bother you gentlemen.

Why must you use profanity on a public board? What I meant to convey is the old adage that bull trout should be tossed into the bushes to make way for other more sporting species. This attitude almost extinguished the bull trout in Alberta. Now this Taco guy is wanting to extinguish all brook trout along the same lines using his own opinions as a basis for slaughter. I don't want to see the brook trout go the way of the dodo in our province just because of one or two disconcerting opinion voicers on a bulletin board. I apologize if this offends anyone but that's the way I see this being portrayed on this thread.

According to your stance about non-natives, if you're gonna put a large limit on brookies, you're gonna have to do the same for rainbows and browns. Are you good with destroying all rainbow and brown fisheries in order to get rid of brookies? All I am saying is that the stance against ALL NON-NATIVE fish is a slippery slope. Be careful what you wish for. On a side note, the war on brookies is eerily similar to fishermen's attitudes towards the bull trout in the 70's and 80's don't you think? Scary what negative attitudes can do for a species and fisheries. Just food for thought.

$150 on 4 please. I'm in the doghouse and my wife loves seafood. :$*%&: LOL

I totally agree with you. Everything you said there holds merit. And 82% of all statistics are made up.

LMFAO. It's so true. There's so many black flaming C's. Whatever happened to the orange C's I used to see in the crowd when Lanny played? And before the Flames made their fluke run, who, in their right mind, would ever admit to even being associated with the Flames (i.e. the Flame fan base of the 90's)? You did miss a category. Die hards would know about the Loob, the tri-captains, the old Patrick division and the dismantling of the core in the early 90's.

I am not a flames fan nor will I ever be but in my opinion, they need to start by getting somebody extremely crafty in the front office. They also need to trade the face names of the franchise while they still have some face value and bring in something better than just relying on 2 franchise players (I vaguely remember a trade involving another face of the franchise that brought in Iginla; I think it was Nieuwendyk but I could be wrong). The number of games that Kiprusoff has to play each year is ridiculous; they need to find a reasonably priced goaltending tandem that can be relied upon to alternate starts through the season. It'll be interesting to see how things pan out in the offseason.

$75 on 4 please.

Haha. That's awesome. I feel your pain.

The only question I have in regards to this whole discussion is simply this: Is anyone from this discussion going to take the time, effort and initiative to spearhead all these idealistic values and take time out of their schedule to help enforce them? My guess is that, aside from this thread, nothing will happen. That's just my opinion; I'm not trying to start a war.

That's what I call hitting the nail on the head in regards to protecting our mountain streams and harvesting fish. I completely agree with you Riley.

Didn't Jim McLennan write an article about C&R a couple of years ago about it being a double edged sword of sorts?

Does that include rainbows and browns as well as the brook trout I think you're referring to? Aren't all trout except for cutthroat and bull "non-native"?
