I finally saw my first grizzly bear in the wild last Sunday June 10. It was awesome! Well I was safe in the truck so... He was on Highway 40 about 10km before the Highwood Junction closure. Fairly big bear. Anyone heading up in that area this weekend be careful, he could still be around.

I'll take you up there. It's about 1 1/2 or so.

Idiots!

OK these are bad. 1. So a seal walks into a club. 2. A horse walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, why the long face?" 3. A pickle, naked chicken, and a wilderbeast walk into a bar. The bartender says to the picke, "Hey you can't have a drink." and lastly, 4. Wanna hear a dirty joke? A white horse fell in the mud.

BURN!

That's nuts.

This is a sad story indeed and also an eye opener for us that are maybe a bit careless. Recently I was in a local store (Wholesale Sports) lilstening to this guy rant and complain how it's law and no one is gonna force him to wear a life jacket and he'll pay the fines and doesn't care and so on. I would like to see him pay the fines when he's 6 feet under. Why can't people understand safety is essential in order to make it to your next fishing trip?

All those little ponds are pretty much done. Haven't seen anything in a lot of them the last week. Buller looked empty last Sunday, June 10.

12 and drinking rye. Nice. Must be a fellow Saskatchewanian.

Oh Birchy. What am I gonna do with you?

Birchy, we'll be going for some of those hey? Only 3 more days!

Cool vid!

I plan on doing the same thing this year. I have some spots already marked out. Only 3 more days!

Beautiful fish!

I'll for sure let you know. And as Zipper mentioned there are other lakes and streams in the area. I'll give an update in early July and let everyone know how it was. I'm sure I'll have pics.

Well done!

I can't go opening day. But you can bet on it I'll be on the streams the following Monday. I'll be trying a bit higher up.

I also shop there for camping stuff and clothes. I do agree with LynnF's comment about having the fly fishing section to itself, it's great and the guys they have running it do know their stuff. It's a great improvement over the other store as there is much more space and of course many more new toys to look at. PS Congrats LynnF on the new grandbaby!

Good work guys! I've only been out there once and no success. I plan on trying again but I don't like crowds either. I'll try a week day maybe. Are you guys just wading or using a boat/floattube/pontoon? I'm a bit intimidated of fly fishing lakes so any little help or advice would make me feel a bit more confident. I catch more fish when I feel confident.

Shouldn't you be checking out a show or having a drink somewhere instead of looking at fishing posts? ;-) Just buggin ya bud! I've been bored without ya, see ya soon! PS Don't forget to kick Mickey Mouse in the shins for me.

Absitively! Posolutey! I know what that's all about. I've put my foot in my mouth a few times. My steel toed work boots don't taste so good.

Ah nuts! I totally misread the thread That was dryfly. So much for my wittyness. I'll just stick to fishing, I'm better at that than comedy.

That is very true. Tact for one person can be rude to another. Something like common sense...no one is common, we're all individuals and everyone's sense is different. Fair enough, negative stuff will be left to one on one. But I'm still not impressed with you reminding us of the longest day coming up shortly.

Great post. Nice spot you found there. Tears came to my eyes...seriously. That's what I am searching for this year. Fishing has taken a root in me the last couple years turning into an obsession...obsession for men?

Nice fish! I LOVE IT!
