Mike,
Just another reminder that of the ones you list, all are made off shore (and assembled in the USA) except the lslanders and Bauers which are (totally) made in Canada and the USA respectively... If you are at all concerned about quality, that is...
Wrong...Lamson is made in the USA. Get your facts straight before spewing BS

Yikes...kinda brought my mood down abit..not looking forward to seeing all the jackasses with their snelled hooks on the bow river and in the mountains. As for me..always have used barbless and always will.
This debate is for barbed/barbless hooks. Not snelled hooks, they have always been legal.

I walked about 200 yards of river yesterday and saw 1 half dead brown covered with this and 1 dead one. Both were large fish (22+- inches) and both were males. Sad to see.

he is definately right in telling you to keep it a secret - word can't get out. Definately keep it to yourself, you obviously stumbled upon it on your own and that's how others should find out about it as well because once word gets out it will be ruined. Think about how special it is now and then think about it with with at least 50X the pressure - it's not going to be so special anymore is it?
I dont go through the trouble of finding out of the way gems to post them on the internet, but I just figured it was funny how he is guiding people on this place 5 days a week and then complaining about increased pressure. Wonder why...........

There are very few secret spots these days..
Besides I heard the fishing in southern Alberta is terrible.
It isn't a well known spot, I can guarantee you have never heard of it. Searches on the web bring up very little. Obviously I will not be naming it.
However how could a guide not think that guiding on it 5 days a week could bring pressure. I think he is digging his own grave.

Was fishing a place down south and ran across a guide with clients. He told me about how he guides there 5 days a week all summer long. He also told me I shouldn't tell anybody about said spot because its a secret and word cant get out.
Thoughts????

Looking at the dorsal, there is some black. Its a tough call. The laker is a very nice "patterned" fish though. At first glance i thought i was looking at a splake!
Not very tough...no black on bull trout's dorsal fins. That is one of the main indications.

looks more like a brookie than a bully on the first pic

Isn't police issue spray much stronger than bear spray?
I`d sure hope not!

X2 (Still fish a few large arbor reels tho).
Also, I used to work at a shop a few years back (ok, 11 or 12 years back
) and the lamson rep came in to do a product meeting with the guys. He had a litespeed reel set up for a right hand retrieve and every time one of the guys would pull the line out to check out the drag, the plastic "gland cap" holding the clutch and conical drag in place would unscrew. I don't know if it was because it was a demo reel that was constantly taken apart, a problem with that specific reel or a design problem. But I knew then and there I would never own a lamson reel.good idea! not like they have changed anything on the litespeeds in 12 years......oh wait......

not long enough....

Well the fish you posted in the 2nd picture is different from the first fish. Spots are quite different.

Awesome I landed some hawgs from there aswell! This guy is his older brother 27.5 inchs
The first fish has a couple inches on the second one! I think you mean younger brother
-
lamson velocity or if your willing to spend a little bit more get the litespeed. Bombproof reels and super light as well.
-
I don't understand this 40" size. They are too big to eat (25-30" is perfect). But a 40" fish is not really a major trophy in southern AB. IMO, they should set the size limit to 1 over 44" for people who want a skin mount done. Even though a replica is the better option.

Wow...

Good job. If only we could fine them enough to cover the cost of the fish cops. More poachers...more revenue...more policing.
Maybe if they stopped giving out warnings...
-
I saw some people baitfishing on the bow a few days ago. Called it into RAP, the CO showed up fairly quick and caught them. The CO called me back to tell me that they had indeed caught the people baitfishing, and they were also using barbed hooks. However the CO gave them a warning on the barbed hooks and fined them for the bait only. I wonder why they don't throw the book at the poachers?? Firstly the fines are small, now the CO's are handing out warning for barbed hooks?????

Walleye 4, pike 0
Was more of a scouting mission. Spring walleye are tough. I was surprised at the lack of pike though. I casted heavily on a weed bed and had no followers.
Probably wrong end of the lake? Its quite cool down there though.
The easiest fishing you will have on travers for walleye is in spring.

I would recommend the Canon t3i as well. Check out memory express, they had it on sale with a 18-55 mm lens for $680. This was by far the best price I could find last week while looking for a friend.
-
Most of the customers in the fishing community are guys. Not women. We don't need 50 options for colors.

Thanks guys, but I already purchased one.

I'm looking to purchase a new laptop, and I don't know the first thing about specs on laptops. The main uses are just for general browsing and uploading pictures. I'm also hoping to keep it under $500.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Well since you are just going by what is on their website I will assume you did not read the rest of the sentence they have on their website.
"Q- Where are your reels made?
A – Our reels are assembled and quality controlled at our factory in Boise, Idaho. All of our machined reels (Guru, Velocity, Litespeed, Waterworks ULA and Vanquish) use components manufactured by our U.S.-based machining partners. Konic, which is a hybrid of pressure-cast and machined parts, uses both U.S. and Korean manufactured component parts."
The Konic(which is their low end reel) is the only not 100% made in the states. But I guess you pick and choose what you read.
