[Ghost River "mystery"]

If anyone wants more info on the area please PM me. I have worked, hunted, and rock/ice climbed extensively in the Ghost.

[Cutties From Banff]

After all the problems we have had with the upper Bow, this was nice to see.

 

 

[Transalta Canyon Dam]

I guess its not so much the flow its the silt that its bringing down,maybe an annual wash of goat could have stopped this.

 

 

Goat creek is not the biggest problem, it's the Spray that has burst it banks!

 

It feels like we should be doing more as a fishing community to expose TransAlta on this one... Social media campaign???

[Bow River Etiquette]

Harps - great post that might have been missed. Hopefully someone in Calgary / on the Bow will see the light and realize one act like developing such a sign for the common accesses would do very well for the communication and betterment of the community. A great thing that possibly the shuttle companies/ guides/ shops/ TU could work with to ensure the signs are always present as a community service component to their business.

 

In the bigger picture, whatever happened to simply going about one's day and if someone else does something, simply not reacting and not trying to change/educate someone else... simply to carry on enjoying our day and being pleasant when afforded opportunity to interact? None of us are judge and jury, just like Paul's post's points suggest. Why is it the other guy is always wrong when this topic comes up? I've certainly made my mistakes in being over the top and learned from them and certainly have adopted a different approach and perspective.

 

How others act is how others will act and they generally will be oblivious to how they affect others. How we react sets the table for how our day will go. What use is there in ruining your day based on someone else's actions or attitudes? Do we not have the capacity as fly fishers to separate ourselves from that and live happily within ourselves (dare I use the word boundaries?)

 

The Headstones had it right... just smile and wave.

 

 

I have seen signs like this in Australia at popular surfing beach's. Surfing has no "rules" but surfers use etiquette in order to share the waves. I see this as being similar to fishing, an agreed upon set of etiquette's set by the community.
