They now have a sign for Frenchman's Creek for the French-Canadians!!! It'll never be the same!!

Thanks every one. I passed Frenchmans Creek again. I still don't know what the big deal is. pix to follow!!

I had one for a year and it got wrecked pretty fast. It floats and mends really well. I am mostly a dry fly guy so I never stripped it. The noise is no big deal, actually it was good 'cause my reel is quiet when line is going out so it was the only noise I heard as the fish were running!! I'm trying a RIO Gold now and it's pretty good.

Is this "rock snot"? Picture was taken on Racehorse Creek AB this summer.

The Bay has it all......Canadian and non specific Olympic stuff!!!

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!!

The conditions this year have been unreal. The water there is as high and dirty now, as it was at run off. I think they are saving their energy in the deep fast current and will be rising if and when it drops. Guys...ya had to be there!!

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!!

That fly looks very much like the fly Lynn F gave me while fishing down there a few weeks ago. Thanks for the recipe!! I used it and it works really well!! Now to find someone to tie me a few!! Thanks!! The one she gave me got a bit mangled by a big cuttie!!

CFF?

I've been fishing the Oldman/Racehorse area every week since opening day and I have seen very few rising fish. I usually (always) fish dries but this year I have had to nymph (Yes, SJW, nymph!). I have recently been fishing a hopper/dropper with moderate success. I wanted to ask the pros if they could suggest any flies and nymphs to use in this set up. I have been using a Chernobyl Ant and red copper johns. Any other suggestions? Thanks to all.

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.
