Bull trout automatic ID

Barrier and Sibbald Meadows pond were still covered in ice, and Sibbald lake had a tiny bit of open water at the north end on Friday. Didn't bother driving any further than that.

Wholesale and The Fishin Hole carry GSP - don't know what sizes though. 50 and 100 are available and I've never found a need to go to 200.

Those of us who have lived here long enough know there's no reason to whine until June.

Certainly a nice day to be out trying those Meisers. Shoulda had a contest to see who could reel in something from the drift boat hatch, though!

Another email to Terry Clayton and Jim Stelfox then! Happy birthday!

You gonna bring the Meiser along Lornce?

Happy birthday!

Thoughts and prayers Lynn!

Those questions would best be directed towards potential guides - you'll be able to tell how good they are just from their responses (or lack thereof).

Happy Birthday - the hill only gets steeper from here!

Happy birthday!

Fishtales will be hosting some spey classes in the spring and summer that may fit some travel plans. Others might be advertising on here a bit later in the winter, too.

Beetles are great on many east slope streams and lakes! That last pattern should serve you well.

It's not just the fish populations you'd be screwing with but everything in the food chain. If the cause is deforestation, loss of habitat, removal of fish, etc, fix those problems by reversing the damage or changing the regulations instead of trying an artificial fix that could be subject to a budget cut by a bureaucrat in the future.

After seeing the prices for some steelhead flies (some around $20 a piece for an intruder style), I won't feel as bad if I lose a couple to fish or snags.

Happy birthday!

I believe I heard Robert Eagleson somewhere between the announcements for idiots to move their cars (Hook and Hackle member).

1) SAGD will need the energy for the steam, how much depends on how the oil price is affecting developement but it's either gas or nuclear 2) I think it was American Angler I read it in, may not be on the forefront of their agenda, but from past reading it probably depends on who is leading the organization 3) http://www.scientificamerican.com/article....ulic-fracturing

The oi lsands alone could take the output from the Mackenzie pipeline. A conversion to natural gas might seem great, but that's just because the price is so low right now. Shale gas is also being fought against by many environmental groups, including TU because it requires a lot of water, and can potentially contaminate water sources - it's akin to the oil sands where extraction is going to cost more and as conventional production goes down, the price will go up. There was a story in one of the mags last month about a formation in Pennsylvania already having trouble because companies are drawing much more water than they are allotted from the streams.

Being charged doesn't mean anything. It's not until it has gone through the courts and he's found guilty. Might take some time if he fights it. If it's expensive to fix, it might be worth getting real legal advice.

I have a Hamilton Beach espresso machine that I picked up @ Future Shop last year that has served me well and wasn't too expensive. We did do a test of Flavia, Keurig, and Tassimo machines at work for the new office, and the Keurig won both on taste and ease of use. You can also buy special cups that allow you to use your own coffee.

I have the Simms G3 - it almost has too much room because it can really get weighed down if you're a bit overzealous with the packing.

Happy belated b-day, hope it was a good one!
