Howdy, so wednesday is the big day, got my waders, boot's, week off, flies, new Tf0 6wt and a wife that is letting me go due to wanting to leave the house by 5:00.. I going to be nymphing the bow for the first time and am thinking of probing around the glenmore bridge and south of that. As it is my first time out, it will be more about learning then catching, but it all sounds like a lot of fun.. Two questions 1. i was going to nymph the side of small riffles with a Sjw and a dark stoneflies nymph, does that sound good? 2. there is a little river inlet about 1000 yards from the brigde is that tresspassing and can i go along and fish in there too? 3. sorry more than 2 but is all of the construction along there screwing up the fishing, should i go some where else, i trying to find a place fairly void of people because of the show i might put on? i am a rank amateur and am ready to learn the bow, do i have a chance of hooking into something there? WJ
i pounded that section maybe two weeks ago for a few hours.
i left with one snaping me off and one more miss.
it was pretty slow, viz was probally 3 feet or so.
but if the construction is making it dirty you can fish upstream..
you rig sounds fine. dont just nymph all day if its not working.
try swinging some streamers aswell.
good luck!

there are pike in eagle lake.
i caught a smaller one when i was a kid on a spinner.
not sure how good the fishing is though.
there are some pike in langdon lake.. its on the north side of the 22 just past the turn for mckinons.
its a resivour of the irrigation canal.
i have caught 1 decent fish here spin casting probally 6 years ago. only fished it twice but have seen guys out there with a boat.
-
i think it would be key to have a few younger guys go in...
max or brent would be great in my mind.
and brian this a great idea! fishing keeps kids out of trouble and busy.
i have avoided many bad situations because i was sleeping to go fishing early in the morning.
good on you for doing this!
-
no pike or other predators really, there is the odd osprey the grabs a fish.
the fish were stocked last week so it would have to be something to do with the hatchery...
although it could be from a previous stock who knows.
il still snap some pics of it and we can have another round of what do you think happened to this guy.

I'm looking to pick up a rod or two in the next couple of weeks.
Looking at TFO's, anyone have any feedback on them?
Steve
this is something i came accross recently.
these guys tested all the rods and were rated on everything.
tfo's are awsome rods and for the price they are right up there with the competitors.
-
ok cool the bigger one was 16 or so and the smaller was around 12

i was out at arbour lake today and we caught two fish that show what i think is whirling disease.
i didnt have my camera but we kept one of the fish and gave it to the manager of the lake.
i can probally snap some pics of it if i stop by tomorrow.
the first fish had a few folds in the back half. it seemed to be more of a skin thing then the whole body.
the second fish was curved just a little bit in the last quater of the fish. we let this one go.
i would like to know if this is something of concern or if there could be something else that caused this?
i will stop by for pics tomorrow. im pretty sure the fish was put in the freezer.

Mating occurs in early fall and another egg case will be laid that will hatch the following summer. The egg case is laid as a foam that hardens into a spongy almost indestructible mass, usually laid attached to a shrub, weed, grass, etc., a few feet off the ground. The egg mass survives freezing, thawing, rain and all the elements to hatch in the early summer to start the cycle again.
looks like it would survive the winters.
we also had them in school along with stick bugs.

ya i also tried to send a pm during the sale
it was full both times that i tried.
-
i would say your right lookz like the same fish
-
what program did you use?
-
what brand are these?
-
wicked its a pain in the ass anyways!
i have taken it out 5 times and have yet to use the motor.
i enjoy the rowing. but if i dont need the boat then why waste the time.
-
ive never been to bh and i have a few questions for you guys.
1. are gas motors allowed?
2. even if they are allowed is it nessacary? can i get around the lake on the oars no problem?
-
yeah, and the keys are damn impossible to find..i've asked everyone and anybody.....gotta get a CO drunk apparently lol
i bet if you got ahold of a city master key it would open it right up.
it may not be all that hard to find a drunk city worker....

i picked up the ultra 4
got out to cast it for a bit over an hour and managed one fish lost 2
the line turns over really nice and i can shoot it pretty good.
i was only really tower casting but i got in a few good double hauls and i was suprised how little effort it took to get it out there.
deffinattly happy.
thanks brent

I may be wrong, but have they not already started excavating this lake? I thought I saw one being formed last time I drove by.
humm i dont think it could be started yet.
not without a permit.
where abouts did you see this?
-
i got this on my winshield the other day at policman's.
Do you know there is an application to:
-dig a lake here on the bow rive and to purchase a water license to fill the lake?
Both of these applications have been made to Alberta Environment and they are looking for our comments and concerns by April 18th.
The lake is for the private use of 179 homes in a development calle "Sanctuary on the Bow" right beside policeman's Flats. the water license transfer is from a trout farm whish is closing on the Elbow river. The developer wants to buy a portion of the water to fill this lake.
This development is going to be built if we dont let the goverment know why we don't think this is a good place for a lake and a good use for our river water. The lake is only 100 meters from the Bow River in a floodway. Does this make sense?
Please write to Alberta Environment before April 18th to let them know your thoughts about these two applications. If we don't speak up about how our river is being treated it won't be long before we won't have a beautiful river to speak about.
The site to review the appications is
http://www3.gov.ab.ca/env/water/Regions/Bo...les/index1.html
Alberta Environment contact is Pauline Scoffield at 297 5894
email pauline.scoffield@gov.ab.ca
The contact for the Developer is Dennis Westhoff at 264 9366
Please let Alberta Environment know what you think.
Without your comments this development will be completed and the river valley forever changed.

still no luck yet. think i had the setup right, maybe it was a little dirty out tonight, maybe loose vcard this weekend
dont worry man you will get it.
most of the snow is gone now, at least in the nw.
river should start clearing up tomorow, and the water temps are gona go up.
there is a good chance you will get into a few fish.
try and find your self a nice deep slow hole.
your fly will be in the water longer and its alot easier to watch your stike indicator, also with the slow water you dont have to mend as much.
rember set to EVERYTHING
-
5wt let me know if you have anything i will come up tomorow morning!
edit. brent i will just stop by the shop in the morning and if your in i will talk to you about it.
if not im sure someone can help me.

right now im using a cortland 444 classic wf.
im really hard on lines. i seem to like to trample them so im looking for something cheaper then a sharkskin or gpx.
what are some recomendations?
one4adventure picked up a headstart for 35$ and he said he likes it.
anyone else use it? 35$ is really cheap and i wouldnt feel so bad steping all over it.
edit. i was looking at the headstart and it says its more a beginer line?
i am looking for something that i can roll cast fairly nice and maybe screw around with some single hand spey casts.
im not a beginer caster although some days it may look like it haha
