I am not looking for Canada stuff. just items that have the logo on it. There is an online store but I'm afraid they won't be delivered on time. I saw some stuff at Sportchek a few months ago but they didn't have anthing at the new store at Cross Iron Mills.

Roots was the excusive supplier of the Canadian and US teams in previous Olympics (remember the po'boy hats in SLC). HBC has been for more recent games. I'll check the Bay out tomorrow.

I'm off to California next week and I want to buy some Olympic apparel for gifts. Anyone know where I can buy some in Calgary. The Bay has some I assume but I'm looking for non-Canadian games clothing.

I was fishing above the falls in the "Gap" on Monday and I saw a cow moose in the river. I called to my buddy to check it out. He saw her and then pointed up/ I looked up on the high bank above and saw her boyfriend checking us out. He was massive! They both ran off before we could get any pix. I'm glad he wasn't the jealous type!!

No Guff? Sweet!!

I broke the tip on my G Loomis Streamdance #5 wt this week and I was wondering what the procedure is in Canada and what experiences you have had. Any idea how much it will cost?

"Crash" or"Bloat" is the collective noun.

Muldoon's on 130 Ave, across from Swiss Chalet!!

I was fishing with a friend and he was getting tangled a lot and he said in frustration "Just call me Mr. Botangles". I stole it. If I fished the Bow I would add the "W".

Ha! Ha!

Alberta King of Subs in the NE. I am a former Montrealer and they serve up awesome smoked meat, HOT Montreal style subs and poutine. They have a "Smoked Meat Poutine" which is to die for!!

I have been camping at Racehorse for the last 7 Sunday-Tuesdays (I took this week off...bad forecast) and the caretaker says it has been busy on the weekends. Still...I'm sure you can get a spot at Livingston. Dutch, Oldman and Racehorse. If you are at Racehorse on any Sunday-Tuesday...come see me....I am the keymaster of the woodshed on those days!!!

I was fishing a pool on Dutch last week when 4 quads came up and stopped. I thought they were watching my expert fly casting. My fishing partner then said that they wanted to cross right where I was fishing. It was the first time this had ever happened to me so I waved them on to cross, and they did. I then thought that I should have asked them to wait as I was there first. I shrugged my shoulders and then caught 5 fish in a row!! Perhaps they woke the fish up!!

I used Sharkskin for 1 season and replaced it with a Rio Gold today at Fishtales. The boys wanted to use my old Sharkskin to show people what can happen to it after a season!! I look forward to trying the Rio Gold!

Itravel2000 has worked for me for my all inclusive vacations.

I agree with ya Hawg!!

I fished the Oldman/Gap area 40 days last summer and was never checked but I knew I was being watched. The CO/Streamwatch guy would stop at a viewpoint and watch with hi-powered binocs (I'm assuming) and see if you were de-barbing releasing etc. That's fine with me. It's a lot of river to cover and you can't expect him to walk the whole area. Checking me would be a waste of time. Time better spent on the lawbreakers.

A few years ago I was on the Upper Oldman and parked by an unattended site flying a Union Jack. I was with an Irishman and he used there latrine but there was no tissue, he used the closest thing!! Ha! Ha!

It can only get better! Unbelievable rain from 6AM-11 PM yesterday. I went to Coleman and returned to RHC around noon and the FTR was rough then! I betcha it's pretty messy right now!

I have been down to the Oldman/Racehorse area for the last 5 weeks and I am getting madder and madder as I see these random campers taking over a campsite for the whole summer!! I know that this forum has beaten this topic over and over but it just pisses me off!! I feel that this Forest Reserve is for all Albertans and these people have no right to occupy these premiere spots longer than 14 days as the rules state!! I have then come up with a plan and I want some feedback from the members on this forum. I want to get a tent (s) and during the weekdays when they aren't there, pitch it in the middle of there site!! After all it's my land too!! I would place a notice saying that I think they are overstaying there right to that spot etc I think this could be fun, and I would like to see the reaction. Let me know if you have an old tent I could have. Also would a letter to Sustainable Resources with specific locations of these squatters get any reaction?

I just spent Sun-Tues at Racehorse Campground. Unbelievable rain yesterday. I sat under the tarp and watched my tent sink! It's a mess!

A fine example of "grabbing at straws"!!!! Sorry Dude...It's pay time!!

Nice pix!!! Today (Tuesday) was great. The fish were doing what they are supposed to do...Rising and slamming Drakes and stoneflies!! crazy weather tho'!!

No Bud Light Lime for weeks here in Calgary. Big Rock jumped on the bandwagon and had record sales with their Lime lager and filling in for BLL. As a former Big Rock rep in the old days it is sad that since they went public they have moved in to mainstream style beers and away from the craft beers. Back to Bud Light Lime, I betcha it has been stockpiled for weeks and will saturate the city during Stampede!!

FTR .....north or south of Calgary?
