I'm really going so I can sneak in and poach your fish. When I look back at all my years of fishing that moment sits near the top (Insert non gender specific pokey thing here)

I was paid once for fishing and it did not feel right. It was my old boss and some friends from the States. I was just happy to take them out and show them what Alberta has to offer, plus it never hurts to keep the old boss happy. But I'm like Rick and seem to walk out of every fly shop with a few dozen and a few $ lighter so maybe I should start guiding to feed my habit LOL.

BBT is not a Guide!!! just a super nice guy going to BC to help some good folk from Texas enjoy some fly fishing. Truth is I'm just going to use these folks to net my fish and golf clap for every trout I land and they can also tell me how awesome I am.

Google maps is even blocked from his property. I think it might be a the Canadian Gov's area 51. Did you get probed? Also I found the old thread's and they are full of LOL's http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?...ic=9587&hl= Link works now. http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?...p;hl=sara's

Time to find another access point

What I did last time was I sent an email to srd.infocent@gov.ab.ca and after a day or two I had a reply with all the info I needed in regards to a place on the Crow. With 99% of all the water and beds being public I think those few that have bed rights should prove to you they have it. In any case I think that those of us who might try and fish these waters should carry a copy of the below with us at all times and let the land owner call the RCMP. Another option would be to just find another place to fish and leave the arsholes alone before someone gets shot. Water Boundaries Crown Ownership of Shorelands In Alberta, the province owns most of the beds and shores of all naturally occurring lakes, rivers and streams. In addition the province also owns most of the beds and shores of all permanent and naturally occurring bodies of water. These other bodies of water are primarily permanent wetlands. Section 3 of the Public Lands Act provides the legal mechanism for this ownership. The ownership of the beds and shores of a particular water body is not always obvious and its determination may require historical research to verify that ownership. Few land titles in Alberta mention water bodies. More often, the title description is silent to the ownership of beds and shores. Exceptions to the Crown's Ownership Some exceptions to the Crown's ownership of bed and shore apply. •Former Hudson's Bay Company lands: Prior to confederation of Canada, the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) of fur traders through a Royal Charter from King Charles II of England, owned by deed what was then called Rupert's Land which included all the land in the Province of Alberta as we know it today. When the HBC surrendered its lands in 1870 to the Dominion of Canada, it did so with some conditions attached including the retention of a portion of lands for the HBC. These lands included their posts, a block of land adjoining each post, and a grant of land in each township within the lands set out for settlement not exceeding one twentieth of those lands. Of these lands, the HBC retained ownership of all lands south of the North Saskatchewan River within Section 8 and all of Section 26 except the northeast quarter section in every township as it was surveyed. In every fifth township surveyed, the HBC retained full title to all of Section 26 and all of Section 8 (see example in Figure 1). Figure 1. Township showing HBC lands in sections 8 and 26 (coloured grey). Today, the beds and shores within these parcels of land are generally understood to be owned by the current titleholder as titles based on the original deeds were passed onto subsequent landowners (unless expressly conveyed otherwise). •Grant/Title Specifically Includes Bed and Shore: The description of a grant of land and subsequent titles specifically include the beds and shores of a water body. •Federal lands: (e.g. National Parks, Military Reserves, Indian Reservations, Surrendered Indian Reserves) •Court Defined Rights: Rights to the beds and shores defined by a court of law. •Non-permanent Wetlands: In the settled area of Alberta, naturally occurring wetlands that are ephemeral, temporary or seasonal in nature are not permanent occurring bodies of water. •Undefined Stream Channels: Water features that that do not have a definable bed or channel are not owned by the Province. The Ordinary High Water Mark & the Legal Bank of a Water Body The line that separates the Crown owned bed and shore of a water body from the adjacent private land is called the legal bank. Its location is synonymous with what is commonly known as the "ordinary high water mark". Section 17 of the Surveys Act legally defines bed, bank and shore. The bank is a natural boundary formed by the action of water for a long enough time to leave its signature on the ground. Unless coincidental, it is not a historic high water mark, a flood line, or the current waterline. It is also a boundary that can move over time. Rivers continuously shift with changes in flow, as do lake levels when changes in climate occur, e.g., long-term drought. A plan of survey showing the boundary of a river or lake in 1905 may not be in the same location if surveyed today. A review of previous surveys and aerial photographs over time and a visual inspection of the vegetation and soil characteristics of a particular location may be required to verify the location of a boundary. It is the responsibility of a landowner to know where their property boundaries are. If the current location of a property boundary next to a water body needs to be established, the services of an Alberta Land Surveyor should be sought. Public Access to Public Water Bodies Access to the beds and shores of a river, stream, lake or other body of water is subject to legal access. For example, fishermen can access a stream through public roads, road allowances (developed or undeveloped), and commonly at bridge locations. If uplands must be crossed to reach a Crown owned water body or watercourse, the permission of a private landowner or Crown land leaseholder should be sought. Where the adjoining land is public land under lease, recreational users can obtain access information from the department's Recreational Access website. The beds and shores of a river or stream that are bounded by private land may generally be traversed below the ordinary high water mark without fear of trespass. At all times, users of beds and shores should "Use Respect" of the land. Be mindful of fence lines and gates that are required to keep livestock confined.

NICE HAT TRICK!!!!!!!

What was it like guiding Bono?

Hell ya!!!!

Make sure that when you get the easement and you build your fence on your property that if he touches it or paints it you will charge him with trespassing!!!! Maybe a nice big NO TRESPASSING sign lol

Why doesn't he want a fence? I would apply for the swale easment and if you get it you'll be golden. Is there a way you can get him to sign saying he won't pay? I hate crappy neighbor's!!!!!!!! Make sure that when you working on the side that faces his house that you show a lot of crack his way.

Dave it looks like the cat is out of the bag.

If you have any other shuttle co's please send a PM to Mr. Stoppah Thanks

For sponsor info contact Chris Bird cbird@flyfusionmag.com and he will help you out.

I found one or two using Google. Also you could try contacting one of our local (Sponsor) Fly Shops and ask for a recommendation.

And a sponsor of this fine forum

Sweet look

That would slam em on Upper K

I could trop off a nice bottle of rum. That might soften the blow for a few hours at least.
