  1. Looks like one awesome family getaway. PS 3wts are ment for drys not large bully streamers
  2. Hey I went to school with the one on the right. Bob was a really great guy and I'm glad the operation went well.
  3. Lots of good water DT. Maybe just go for a bike ride and check things out first. I would stay away from any water near the drop in centre as I have been hasseled by some of the not so kind folk that hang out that way but if you head west towards Edworthy park the runs are great up that way. Also I fish my 5wt on the Bow all the time.
  4. I love my Battenkill Mid arbor http://www.orvis.com/store/product_choice....mp;pf%5Fid=72ER
  5. Here is a list of things that are much worse then what Bert did Former Chicago Blackhawks star player Keith Magnuson is dead -- killed by a drunk driver. Charged with impaired driving causing death is former Toronto Maple Leaf captain Rob Ramage. Ironically, he and Magnuson were returning from the funeral of cancer victim and former NHLer Keith McCreary. Ramage will undoubtedly be attending another funeral soon -- this one will be a lot more painful since he will bear the heavy burden of blood guilt. His life will never be the same. Earlier, Chicago Blackhawks captain Alex Zhamnov was placed on court supervision for one year and community service for pleading guilty to driving under the influence. Speed was involved when Atlanta Thrasher Dan Snyder died from injuries after the car he was a passenger in slammed into a wall. Dany Heatley must bear the crushing guilt for the remainder of his days. Some instances of hockey players foolishly getting behind the wheel after indulging are: * 2002: Peter Worrell of the Florida Panthers is sentenced to 10 days in jail and his license is suspended five years for driving under the influence. * 2001: Sergei Fedorov is ordered under court supervision for one year and community service for impaired driving. Eddie Shack is fined $1,000 for driving under the influence after a charity golf event. * 1999: Steve Chiasson crashes on his way home from a team party is killed. His blood-alcohol level is more than three times the legal limit. * 1995: Dominik Hasek is fined $850 and community service for a drunk driving conviction. * 1994: Chris Pronger, Bobby Hull, and Paul Holmgren score a hat trick of drunk driving convictions. * 1993: Edmonton Oilers Dave Hunter serves seven days in jail for his third impaired driving conviction in six months. * 1990: Mike Keenan is fined $550 and given a year's court supervision for a drunk driving charge. * 1989: Peter Klima spends 35 days behind bars for drinking and driving. * 1987: Calgary Flame Jamie Macoun is charged with drinking and driving after losing control of his sports car. The charge is reduced to dangerous driving and he pays $1000 fine. * 1986: Miroslav Frycer of the Toronto Maple Leafs spends 14 days in the slammer for his second impaired driving conviction. * 1986-1994: Bob Probert is arrested five times for impaired driving. He spends several months in jail and in rehab, but continues his NHL career. * 1985: Pelle Lindbergh dies from injuries when his Porsche slammed into a wall. He had been drinking at a team function. * 1984: Craig MacTavish leaves a nightclub intoxicated and kills a woman. He pleads guilty to vehicular homicide and spends a year in jail. * 1974: Tim Horton gets behind the wheel while intoxicated and is killed when he loses control.

  14. July 2nd and 3rd my Daughter and myself hit Mt. Lorette ponds for a bit and upper K. The ponds fished very well and my little one was able to catch a bunch on a caddis but upper K was very slow with only one on but we had a great time watching a helicopter make a few passes moving gear around. And one for Max
  15. Well we hit Mt. Lorette as it was very close to our campground. The fishing was awesome for the little one as she caught a handfull on the fly and I caught more then I could count. The fish seem to just hang in schools with the odd cruser but they were rising to my caddis all day long.I can see why this place gets empty very fast as people were dragging them out left right and centre and using some crazy rigs to do so. I would say there are a few hundred left in the upper pond as well as the lower pond so get out while they last.
  16. First let me start by saying GREAT POST and it's good to see the little one getting into some awesome fish. I will be out that way tomorrow with my 8 year old and I might hit those spots so if your out there stop and say hi. Second: Use the PM mode first if you have an issue with the way someone is holding a freaking trout and talk about it behind the scenes. :$*%&:
  17. Any word????? I'm camping near by and would like to get my little one into some trout but if it was last stocked in May then it's probably empty.
  18. Would any of you folk have a few extra Rodeo and Chuck tickets kicking around or maybe some beer tent passes?
  19. Maybe for June you could get a hair cut Sweet pics Mang!!!!!
