Is this the location of the new Bass Pro as well?

One potential anchor store at the proposed mall project north of Calgary is Springfield, Mo. based Bass Pro Shops.

 

"Alberta truly will have landed the big one if Bass Pro enters the market," said Kehoe. "Typical Bass stores are 130,000 square feet and contain not just fishing, hunting and camping gear, but also freshwater aquariums, an indoor archery range, wildlife displays and replica trout ponds, streams and waterfalls.

 

"All I can say is: The fish of Alberta should be scared," quipped Kehoe.

 

They might wanna change the name though.

[Best Concert You Ever Saw????]

ACDC Razor's Edge tour, Neil Young back in 1995 or 96, and the Allman Brothers in that same time frame.

[Music And Flyfishing]

The Hip Live Between Us and QOTSA Songs for the Deaf on the way there, Barney Bentall Gift Horse or some older Neil Young on the way back. I usually just hook up the MP3 player in random mode and let it rip, though.

Some excellent information in there, especially on how spooky some fish can be.

Groooooaaaannn!

[Man I Have Had A Wicked Week...]

they just even it up max, i did really well fishing all week, best week of the year so far

 

I'd say they did way more than just even it up!

[Fly In The Back Of The Neck..]

A weighted nymph buried in your cheek is a great way to wake yourself up in the morning. Hopefully the CO's don't consider blood a scented bait, though.

I also used to hear alot of comments of how the Bow was polluted and dirty etc. Also a bunch of BS.

 

It's not that polluted considering it runs through a city of a million people. It just has a slightly higher body count than the usual river.

Future Darwin Award winner there!

That third shot is great!

[Kananaskis Update]

Did he mention how long it would take for the K river to recover after its stabilized?

[Inner City Bow]

Just curious will that change allow you to float that stretch or will the weir area still be impassable. I'm not overly familiar with this hazard

 

The plan is to make it passable.

[Ya-hooooo.]

Great move, the team wouldn't build on anything next season if they still hated the coach.

[Shooting Backing]

There won't be much wear from new backing since most newer guides are probably made from hard materials or coated with hard materials, but if you get any sand or grit in the backing it would tend to wear it down faster.
