Need New Tires! Suggestions?
bigalcal replied to bigalcal's topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
14' A/T tires are impossible to find these days. I called most of the tire centres in the city and they aren't available any more. It's tough to find anything that will fit!! FML!! -
I like my charcoal Weber kettle! Kinda fun to play with at the "Cutty Hut"!!

Need New Tires! Suggestions?
bigalcal replied to bigalcal's topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
I realize now after searching the internet that it is difficult to find All Terrain tires in 14" size these days. I'm going to need to go to some tire centre's and talk to the experts. Wheel wells are big so I may be able to go to 15". I guess I better go do some leg work. -

That's the tire I usually get when I do a search...the T/A radial. I guess I should drop by some tire centers and see what they have. -

My wheels are small so I have a limited selection... which sucks. P225 70R14 -
The time has come to replace the tires on my 1994 Mazda B4000 pick up...I don't know much about buying tires as I have only done it once before. I'm looking for an all terrain tire as I only use my truck in the summer to drive to the "Cutty Hut". I would appreciate any suggestions on what to get and specifically, where to buy them. I live downtown so somewhere close would be great. Thanks all!!

Seem's kinda pricey!! If the frame is sound and you are at all DIY inclined you could have fun with that. The "Cutty Hut" is essentially a tent with walls, Never use the stove, sink. bathroom or fridge...I've never plugged it in or filled it with water. I only use the furnace when it's really effin cold. My battery for lights lasts 4 months as I rarely have them on....like I've said before....It's all about who is there, a warm campfire and a stocked cooler!!!

"cutty Streams"...2014....... What Can We Expect?
bigalcal replied to bigalcal's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
Haha!!! The "Cutty Hut" is no big deal. It's all about the people!! -
Last year was definitely a strange year for the "Cutty Streams" I regularly fish. After the high water/flooding, many changed their course and new runs, pools were made. Yes, it was fun "rediscovering" the new holes etc. Some of the rivers got better and some others didn't fish as well as other years. So now, a year later what can we expect? Last year there were very few hatches it seemed. I didn't see the usual Drakes, PMD or Caddis hatches that I usually would see. Therefore, there were a lot fewer rising fish, which is what I love about cutthroat fishing.? As the new season approaches does anybody have any input on what we may expect regarding bug life? Either from experience or knowledge? I'd be interested... Al

Please forgive me, I appreciate the comments big time but it is difficult for me to know who you all are from your "avatar" name (except for Taco!) I am not sure if we have met before or not. If you could PM me with your real name and if and where we have met I could put a face to you all. If we haven't met I look forward to it, You know where I will be!!

Ya...I'm glad Alberta Parks found a solution to the problem, instead of sticking to the Parks Act and limiting stays to 16 days.. At least it's a step in the right direction. Hopefully the seasonal campers will comply with the regulations and there are no problems or complaints. Moving the trailer every few weeks was a huge pain. I'm looking forward to seeing everybody.

They are going to allow seasonal campers at selected sites at Dutch Creek. There website hasn't set it up yet.

A lot of you are familiar with the "Cutty Hut". It is a trailer that I have had situated at Racehorse Creek Provincial Recreation Area seasonally for the last 4 years. Many of the forum members have stayed there and many have dropped in. In the last three years Alberta Parks have attempted to enforce the 16 day maximum stay and up until last year they turned a blind eye and let me stay there for the season. Last season Alberta Parks enforced the maximum stay and I had to move out for 24 hours every 16 days. I wrote a letter to Alberta Parks and explained my personal situation and I got a quick reply. The Alberta Parks representative sent me an awesome letter and we also discussed the situation amicably on the phone. Alberta Parks is competing directly with random campers. There is also a maximum stay of 14 days for random campers but they are under the jurisdiction of Sustainable Resources (Forestry) and they don't have the manpower to enforce this regulation so they set up seasonally...for free! This year Alberta Parks have set aside 15 campsites at Dutch Creek Provincial Recreation Area for "Seasonal" camping. I appreciate the fact that they have agreed to do this and it has opened the door for seasonal camping in Provincial Recreation areas. They will have regulations for seasonal campers , such as no permanent structures and proper disposal of grey water etc. and if all goes well they will open up seasonal campsites at other PRA's ie. Racehorse Creek in the future. The "Cutty Hut" will now be moving up the road to Dutch Creek for the upcoming season. I have an open invitation to you all to stop by. Last year I met a bunch of you and it was awesome. You are welcome at my fire....anytime!! You are all welcome to join my Facebook group "Friends of the Cutty Hut" Al Hunter
