The long awaited season starts June 16, The rivers and creeks are clear and wadeable already and it should be a great start to the season.
I would like to extend an invite to any fellow fly fishermen that may be in the Oldman, Livingston area to drop by the "Cutty Hut" located at #8, Dutch Creek Provincial Recreation Area to chat about their day and perhaps enjoy a cold beverage.
I am usually there every week from 2 ish Sunday afternoon until Wednesday morning.
I look forward to meeting you. PM me if you have any questions on river conditions etc.
Cheers
Al Hunter

I broke down and bought the Simms Rivertek Boa's while I was in Whitefish this past weekend. I saved a bit of money even with the exchange.
I guess we will see how they work out. First thing is to get replacement laces from BOA!!
Thanks all for your input...
-
Just read the regs you get with your licence or if you bought on line grab one at a fishing store. All the info you need.
-
The guys from Icky Flyworks have dropped in at the "Cutty Hut"!! Good guys and I hope they drop by again!!

I bought most of my Cabelas stuff back when our dollar was good and I bought online. I got some great deals thru their "Bargain Cave"...I must admit that the Canada Cabela's has been a disappointment in comparison. I've never been to a major US Cabelas...only the "outpost" store in Kallispell. MT which was disappointing too.

Good store for camping gear and apparel....fly fishing is a disappointment.

The design has changed from Baileys pictures. The new design seems more durable.
Decisions...decisions

BOA will replace parts for free...so I would probably carry an extra in my vest. To me they were the most comfortable of the Simms boots I tried on. Please keep the comments coming..
Much appreciated..

I've spent the winter pondering which wading boots to get for the upcoming season and I'm leaning toward the Simms Rivertek 2 Boa.
Any thoughts..suggestions before I drop $300?
Thanks

I would have recommended the Honeymoon group camp on the Upper Oldman Rd, but as mentioned above Rocky Mountain Camping is not the private operator anymore and I'm not sure if Alberta Parks will be opening the group camps. It seems they will have a skeleton crew working the campgrounds above Hwy #3 on the FTR......However I could be wrong.
Honeymoon would have been perfect...but now that I think about it, I'm not even sure if it reopened after the flood and road closures.
I guess I'm not much help..

My first year was $700....then Alberta Parks got involved.
Wood was never included but was at least available.
Firewood doesn't grow on trees!!
-
I'm there 140 days so I paid $14/day x 140 days=$1960. Last year I was there 80 days total .payment is paid up front. Ouch!!! But worth it.

Yes....I'm one of them.

Rocky Mountain Camping is no longer the private operator for the campgrounds on the Forestry Trunk Rd , South. They will now be run by Alberta Parks. These campgrounds include Racehorse Creek, Dutch Creek, Oldman River and Livingston Falls. It has come to my attention that firewood will not be available on site for campers this season. Just a heads up.

Great comments too!!!

What is an approved trail? I'm not a quadder but I walk the rivers and drive around in that area and I've never seen a sign....
-
Does anybody know the regulation regarding OHV's crossing creeks on public land in Alberta? Specifically the Livingston, Oldman area? Please put a link so I can end an argument.
Thanks

Off the top of my head...69-70...both the Leafs and Habs were out...Habs won the Stanley Cup the following season...Could be wrong.

I believe there are a lot more than one.....Frenchman's Creek. Hundreds...maybe thousands..They seem to be everywhere. Most are without signs.
This one is south of San Francisco, CA near Half Moon Bay.
