  1. Check this photo. I use an old 45 Lt north face pack. I have been using this set up for decades and is good if the trail is wide enough for up to 5 km in then I find the trails start to get thin. . No fish cat though ( I found them to heavy ) I have a Cumberland , Togiak & JW Stillwater The Tagiak being the best I clip it to my pack. None have ever been deflated.
  2. Bass pro is headed down hill now also. I drove across Calgary to get 4 specific things for tying ( hooks flash ect. ) Went 0 for 4 . The salesman said they can’t get stock sent to Canada. Fly fishing is only a nich market and not worth there time.
  3. Thanks for that I have tried the ice dubbing but find it too course and doesn’t lay down like I like. I will give it a go. Paul
  4. A number of years ago I was able to pickup a large bag of Flashabou dubbing I think it came from a company call Mertz or something like that . I need it in black for tying a few dozen #6 leaches All I seem to be finding is small bags of hareline dubbing. Would anyone have a line on this . Thanks Paul
  5. I have seen these before. I looks to be a pre Great Depression Rod .
  6. As I start fishing more in the spring I never used many Chironomids I was wondering what some of your favorite high altitude still water Chironomids might be . I am in the mid of tying season. Thanks Paul
  7. I have fished Baker Creek a number of times and Red Deer Lks But as I start planning my summer has anyone fished Oyster Lk or Heart Lk in the last decade. Paul
  8. I find mine very noisy, not very good on ice, copper stiffed me on the rebate Paul ,
  9. I had Goodyear Armours on mine they were an excellent highway tire. But we’re prone to rock shots . Anything but Coppers never again
  10. I usually hit the lakes in behind Parsons in June. The forestry roads have started to dry out. You can bring a boat to most.
  11. Thanks for the recommendation.One of our other guide has her  

    I start a 5 day fishing trip tomorrow Sunshine to Shark . I need the break . BNP has been a *hit show this year

      Yes it has! I was guiding on Friday up at Helen and Egypt lake Sat - Mon.

      Are you on Instagram? Mine is "the_alpine_expereince"

      You might see a Yam group somewhere up there. The guide is Lenny (Lenora). I teach AST with her. Say Hi. They were in at Egypt with us for a night.

      Be safe have fun!

      No instagram for me. I just go back and honestly I kinda stayed clear of everyone and just fished and climbed

      back to the *hit show tomorrow have a group going up to Hellen/dolimite to start my week. 

  12. Thanks Dan. That’s what I was looking for. Paul
  13. Thanks for that Actually I was serious My friend is working for Douglas Ranch. Anything else about the area I am planning on spending a few days there. Paul
  14. I have some time off in between seasons in May A friend who had just moved down to that area invited me down to do some fishing. He said it was non public lakes. Not to sure exactly what that means. Pay as you go ? He also mentioned a species call a Lard fish ? Canoe or Belly boat Any info on this area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Paul
  15. I just hope they have fishing in hell.
  16. I did the course it was well worth the drive. My time. Paul
  17. I did contact her and saw that she is doing a course at U of A on January 9 th But that too much of a drive for me. Thanks though Paul
  18. Does anyone know of one of these coming up . Hopefully in the Calgary area Paul
  19. Check this out.. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-listing/0968860303/ref=dp_olp_used_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=used
  20. If your talking about Dennis Stone. Then ya I got my blanks last June.
  21. Finished the rod from the blanks from Stonerodco. They were very nice blanks and I could custom order the taper I wanted. Great recommendation paul
  22. Also Lee Valley has something called “Icers” that are very similar. I just ordered some extras for my grippers that I use for clients on Canyon walks. Which got me thinking out side the box. Though I have never done it . What about using Yak Tracks or the Icers . http://www.leevalley.com/en/garden/page.aspx?p=40911&cat=2,51676,40911
  23. No didn't bring a rod and only spent 10 mins at Aster. Didn't see any activity either
  24. It was perfect. Though I did hit bottom a couple of times. Though a couple of the s-turn were even a little tight for a canoe
