I was catching a ton of small bulls on the RDR last weekend. I assumed that they just were washed way down the system from the tribs. Just my guess though.

Nice work on picking him up from the pound. He's going to be a great companion. I'll say hi if I see you guys on the river together!
-
Saw your explanation on the this board. Awesome!

Terrifyingly close to home. Condolences and best wishes to his family, friends, and fishing partners.

Perfect, love the colouring on those cuts

This was a sweet find, being that I'm a photographer and a fisherman, haha

If its just recently expired and you have never fired one off before you should find a suitable place and give it a test. Most people are not aware of just how close you need to be for it to be effective. Just make sure no other people or animals are around and don't point it into the wind. As for disposal, you can drop it off for free at the hazardous waste stations at the entrance to any of the city dumps.
I tried it last time I was out and it was still quite potent.. I'd just rather keep a new one on me just in case.
Further to the other replies, I have a free canister of expired bear spray if anyone wants to have some fun!

Hey all, I have a can of expired bear spray. Just wondering how I should dispose of it?

Being a MB boy, I grew up using the same high test deet that lots of you guys use(d). I thought that I would revive this thread that i found through the search given that I was eaten alive last night, deet destroys your gear, and my pregnant wife doesn't want to use deet,
I've heard a few people say that bounce sheets are effective mosquito repellent.. Has anyone ever tried bounce sheets?

After visiting the Island, Seattle (specifically the ballard district) and Halifax this year, I'm finally admitting that Calgary just doesn't cut it for beer. I'm very much into craft beer, and have to agree that most tap selections in Calgary fall short for micro brews. The places that do have great draught charge nearly what a 6-pack would cost for a pint, and people pay it!!
Here's my list for best in Calgary in order of my fav's to least
1. Wild Rose (great tap room too!)
2. Brew Brothers in District (hit and miss on the food)
3. Village
4. Brewsters
5. Big Rock
I would say my favourite place for a craft brew at a decent price is the Hop & Brew on 12th. Great pizza too!

Beauty, good fight?

Oh cool, yeah that area is beautiful.. Def need to head back for some salmon runs

Thought I would start up a new "Fishless Pics" thread for the 2013 season starting with my trip out to Vancouver Island
Fished the Little Qualicum and Englishman estuaries for sea-run cutties and maybe some early pinks and coho. Ended up just working on my cast
Stopped in at Little Qualicum falls

I love my Panasonic TS3 - I believe the latest is the TS5, which has good reviews. Olympus had a new one out that comes with a larger sensor that should be better in lower light situations.
DPReview.com says they're doing six reviews right now, the latest Olympus is here:
I also have the TS3, bought it on sale after the TS4 came out and I really love it. When I'm not around dirt and sand I shoot with professional gear, and I'm happy that they introduced the manual setting in the TS4 so you can expose pictures how you want. The Leica lens is not bad, but it's also only 5x zoom, and can get scratched as it's always exposed.
I love the GPS on these cameras, if you load them into a program that enables geo-tagging you can see where you caught each of your fish. The HD video is good too, I find it works well for underwater release vids.
As with any underwater camera, just make sure the seal for the memory card and battery docks are free of debris and are well maintained. I had an olympus underwater camera before this one and the seal degraded and let water in, which killed the camera. It also had a retractable lens cover that stopped working once it got dirt in it, so watch out for that.
I don't usually touch up photos afterwards, so here's some examples straight through the lens.

I just flew out of Calgary to Victoria and we flew over the bow from about harvie passage to just N of Crowchild and the elbow around downtown and then west of calgary too. I was totally blown away by the new structures created on both river! It's going to be a interesting summer learning these 'new' rivers
