Would "He who smelt it dealt it" apply in court?

Just show up, guests are always welcome. There's only a few meetings left this year, so the dues would also be pro rated. (50/year normally)

How about some travel mugs? http://www.epromos.com/product/8824721.html See if they'll put a few fish pics on there so you can check the level of the Tims!

http://hookandhackleclub.org/ Meetings every 2nd Wednesday throughout the fly tying season, and you get beginner lessons included with your membership (the new class just started last week, however, so you've missed one fly). Also a huge library of everything you'd need for fly tying and fishing, and a 10% discount at the fishin hole, so a membership can pretty much pay for itself.

Had a piercing in my cheek and nailed myself in the head with the same #2 clouser, on the same cast.

I guess you'll know what not to forget next year!!!

Google maps has an old picture of the area, but the new parking lot is easy to find.

There was an article about fishing the streams in the fort mac area (Hangingstone, Wandering River, and another one) in Barry Mitchell's 2007 fishing guide. Don't know if you can still find it, but someone around here might have a copy hanging around.

Well, when you net a fish like this, how can you not expect a bear to attack?

You may want to contact the Oldman TU guys who did a day of fly fishing classes/seminars, dinner, and silent auction for some suggestions on how to get it going.

I just picked up an A2 3 wt 8 footer there this morning - great deal since it's being discontinued.

I'll be there with the DC and switch...I also have a 10' G Loomis eastfork that is also nice for single handed spey casting.

Great report! The streamwatch site is http://www.albertastreamwatch.com/ They're mostly in need of funds or equipment donations for their officers, which included the auction on this site and live auctions during a TU dinner in the spring.

From the regs: Sportfishing by Indians Indians do not need an Alberta Sportfishing Licence or WIN card for general sportfishing. All sportfishing regulations must be followed. Indians are persons registered as Indians under the Indian Act.

earth.google.com Might as well choke up the company internet connection while mapping out your favorite fishing spots.

http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?...essential+flies GRHE, pheasant tail, prince nymphs, SJW's, and some stonefly nymphs would also be useful at this time of year. Royal coachmans are also popular grayling flies. For bulls, think big streamers like double bunnies and clousers in white, orange, and red to start.

Goldeye can be fun to catch in that section, try dries, nymphs, or small white streamers. Walleye and pike are also in there, but I don't know if there's any browns that far down. Larger nymphs and streamers for those guys, and if the water is still murky and high use a heavier tippet (0 or 1 x). There could also be a few old rockies around; Usually catch 1 or 2 when fishing for goldeye.

Was still empty back on the 15th. Sibbald Meadows would be the better bet.

$1000 would seem to be a small price to pay to fix the health care problems as well. We're paying the government to govern, not get re elected.

Police Outpost lake and Payne lake are nearby - Police has been doing better than Payne lately but it may have changed in the last week or so. For rivers, it's best if you ask Hawgstoppah what the current conditions are.

Probably lots of suckers, but little else. I remember a kid falling into Nose Creek in Airdrie back in the 90's, and he ended up in the hospital because of skin rashes, so I wouldn't bother with that one. Plenty of good fishing on the upper bow, or drive to Dogpound after runoff if you want the small creek.

I am sure we can find someone to fire whose salary would cover the cost.

Damn, I always love these pic posts!

Nobody we talked to (three or four groups) had seen or caught anything. I was hoping to help get my friends kids hooked on fishing there.
