Despite my suspicions, I emailed him to see if I could purchase and have him ship. He was willing to ship if I paid by EMT but not by PayPal. Interestingly enough, some of the low prices he had up there have since been increased.

Saw this post on Kijiji, the prices are suspiciously low... https://www.kijiji.ca/v-fishing-camping-outdoor/strathcona-county/fly-fishing-blow-out-bonanza-rods-reels-waders-boots/1378254970?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Jeez some people are so clueless and ignorant, good job getting him busted for it. Hopefully the fines end up being a sufficient deterrent in the future.

Glad to see the Ram remaining catch and release, would have been a shame to see retention allowed given how the fishery has turned out.

Can you please clear your PMs and message me? If someone knows Gustuphson and he doesn't come on here much anymore, can you please have him contact me? Thanks!

Very nice, I wonder if it was one of your flies in a tree that I left one beside the other day.

Great pictures, it's hard to beat fishing on the Canadian shield.

I have then and really like them, tough, rugged, comfortable boots. I've had no issues with the boa system.

Try some maxima fluorocarbon, it's all I use anymore.

I can't comment specifically on the injury, but can offer a couple suggestions for reducing impact. If you don't already use a Spey rod on the salmon and steelhead rivers, give one a try. Also, try using shorter single hand rods as they significantly reduce swing weight, resulting in being able to use a lighter reel (the rod ends up lighter too)

I went to Pesca Maya once and wasn't overly impressed. Are you set on a time for your trip? If you're willing to wait until summer, why not go north and target pike on the fly? It's a crazy rush! You also mentioned being a solo angler. While some lodges will charge a premium for being there on your own, there are many who won't, so shop around.

I picked up the Simms Rivertek Boa 2 earlier this year and they are by far the nicest wading boots I've had. Very rugged, supportive, and comfortable.

Thank you!

Is it just me, or do others have the same issue? I can't copy and paste things into topics on this forum, such as when I'm trying to paste in a photobucket link.

Awesome, thanks! Didn't know if they still had that here.

Does anyone know if there's anywhere in Calgary that I could buy my national parks fishing license? Or do I have to go into the park to buy it? Thanks!

Is this new? I always thought that under 16 had their own limit in Alberta.

Definitely try Loop Canada first, I had a broken discontinued rod a couple years ago and they were great to deal with.

If you have a pair of boots that fit well with your waders, consider the Simms wading socks that are made with the same thickness of neoprene as the booties of waders.

Great, thank you!

I've been using this stuff for a while now and have a question for others who use it. Do you ever notice an odour from the flies after it's been cured? I have found it to be quite strong and notice it as soon as I open my fly box.

Jurassic Lake is unbelievable!! Huge numbers of huge fish, and the advertising is in no way exaggerating it! I was down there 6 years ago and the fishing gets exhausting, my best day was 67 fish, and everyone else was experiencing the same sort of numbers. I actually tried to find flies that didn't work - small #18 chironomids didn't work, and neither did 4 inch streamers, but everything in between did. A couple others factors that really help this fishery: -Very low fishing pressure, the lake is surrounded by private land and the drive in is brutal (the last 40km takes nearly 4 hours in the most rugged pick up trucks I've ever seen). -One relatively small tributary for all their spawning limits the numbers of fish in the lake. -Location. The lodge is located right at the mouth of the tributary, so as fish all stack up before spawning. There is good fishing at other locations on the lake, but the Loop / Solid Adventures camp is in the best location.
