Good idea Spurly.just had to go back there my wife accidently one a silent auction item lol the wadeing jacket lol I was looking at them at the fish tales store at the front but they didn't have my size so i said forget it but she seen the one at the silent auction table and put a bid down then I got a call today to come pick it up lol size large it's a little small but will work maybe.not overly excited about it but I own it for now.its a eddy Bauer if anybody's wondering.

Snooze it was boring.Same old same old maybe a couple more lady's but the same as every year the best part was leaving.They need way more exhibitors more stuff to look at ect the one isle on Thr north side you ask your self why you even walk down it.After further thought I guess everyone could have been still a sleep when we were there maybe there was some more hustle and bustle later in the morning but I still think they could use some more stuff and I actually wished the drift boats were at the back cause I want to get one this year assuming I still have a job.

Thanks for all the recommendations I'm still struggling a bit on at decision.Hay big foamy I had it on mine but she put me on a budget.but I wanted to do a little investigation as well.

I had knee surgery last year just a minor surgery but my knee does not work as well bending and walking around the rocks.My question is what's the best bang for buck do you get a collapsible or just a old ski pole or a hiking pole.Is it worth carrying it around with you or is it just easier to struggle a little bit. Just looking for thoughts and opinions thanks everybody.

No problem I'll give you a pm when I'm done just working on final angles for the rowing part.if you look on Kijji there's a zodiac with a rowing frame my designs a lot different but pretty close to the same I have a lots of extra zodiac material to mount the frame on as well if decide to build one.I should be done in the new year I'll pm you.O think I'm just going to rock guard the whole frame as well the put aluminum checker where ever possible to class it up.Its a 1978 zodiac believe it or not

If you can weld or or know a welder it's pretty easy to build a rowing frame for your zodiac as well. I'm just about complete and I'm at about 150 in total for mine at the very most I used electrical conduit as my main frame and there were about 6$ a peice and I bought two seats with swivels they were about 80 bucks for two just watch sales at bass pro and the casting bar was a little more money as its made out of aluminum.I can send you pics when I'm done and get a idea if that's something your interested in I call it the poor mans drift boat lol but it will do until this economy picks back up.Im a welder in the tanker industryl lol.If you do want to build one once you get a boat pm me I'll give you a hand or I can build one for you.

He did 5/6 post today on Instagram so I think he's actually a person lol at least that's a start

im with you on that but I just hate those stupid rapalas Its a amazing fisherie and I don't want it destroyed.We need to figure that glenmore problem out as well is there anyway to help work on these problems?

Just a thought if the laws are and place along with the rap phone number and the possibility to collect video info on phones as evidence and proper warning signs of the laws at key locations and anglers all police other anglers and be vigil about it we can pick up the slack from the missing officers as best as possible I agree that there should be some sort of law or something protecting people who do take a guided trip so that both the angler and the guide are protected.The Main reason for this post was that we have such a amazing fisherie right out our back doors and after the epic hog wrestling the bow provided us in 2015 I think we should start being better protectors of what we have.I Just cringe every time I see a monster trout with six prongs stuck in his face from a rapala or a monster being bounced all over the rocks or just seeing a fish tied to a stringer.The bow is the most amazing river and I just feel it needs some protection from bad angling habits and agriculture etc.

this is not my area of expertise but I thought I would throw it out there just to maybe get a topic going.In my personal opinion I think the bow river regulations should change a lot also the castle,crowsnest etc the good more popular rivers that are self sustained.I think they should all be catch and release,no barbed hooks,No treble hooks singles meaning one on a common shaft not three on one shaft closed for the spawning of brown trout (bow river) and a couple more just wondering what others thoughts were and I'm not singling out spinner fisherman or the poachers out I'm just giving them a single hook.Just my Friday thought opinions please and no attacks.

Im in the process of building a rowing frame for my zodiac after many hours and planning I came up with a design so I hope it works.Im doing two seats with casting bar and the casting bar can be removed and another seat added.I also have a gas and a electric motor so this is a good thread to maybe get some ideas.Im sure it will work.Older zodiacs are heavier than the newer ones so it should eliminate the wind problem.I could see wind being a problem with a regular inflatable.

Nice whales holy crap to that

Just placed a order streamers are running pretty cheap bought a ton and about 30 or so nymphs I guess we will see how the quality is soon thanks Spurly

That's so weird you would think everybody's starving for work they would take it on just for the money.Try a place called abacal on 68 in the industrial area there a little grungy paint shop.

you can store it at my house lol

I would be concerned about the damages with rowers who are not familiar with the river or its dangers.Buy and flip.I would however rent it for that price but plan on buying one in the spring.

What species?my cousin was nailing some trout on the weekend I can pm you the lake name it's by sundre give or take.

Hopefully on Sunday when I go out with out fly fishing and naoto on Sunday

9 cars and trucks out there right now.I have a sling shot who wants to join me.😎

Is it legal to drop rocks off the bridge on there heads.Theres no proof it was us it was just rocks flying off people's tires on glenmore.

Awesome pics thanks for sharing .They made my afternoon sitting on coffee break in the prison blues.(coveralls)lol dreaming I was out.

Saw a couple interesting things both times I went over glen more today.the first thing I saw was a person in waders hand throwing something in the water possibly a thermometer or I have no idea lol did not call rap cause we had no idea what he was doing but it looked like something you see on a survival show.when we came back we seen a truck parked on the bar and two guys practice casting in the middle on the rocks not in the water.Maybe the rock cod were biting I'm not sure.But very interesting both times I'm not sure why people have to do weird things when I'm in a hurry.Im very curious now lol.

Just called rap three people fishing at glenmore two fly fishers and one spinner guy.Was going to stop and just tell them about the closure but needed to get the little one home to bed. Hope at least they get a education and not a ticket.

Good I thought I was loosing my mind for minute.where did it go.
