I personally witnessed a teenage kid catch a 32" brown (taped) below Mckinnon flats about 4 years ago on a spinner. Unfortunately it floated down the river belly up since they held in in a net for 10 minutes while one of them hiked to a truck on private property to get a camera. they tried to revive it for about another 10 minutes but I'm guessing it didn't survive.

lol... thats awesome

Country Pleasures offers trips to chase these bad boys. With luck I will make it out there for some fun.

Lets hope it make a difference!

I think the fisherman was in the wrong here. On another dog note (highjack sorry) I camped near water valley this weekend and was blown away by the number of un-leashed dogs at the campground. It seemed like every camp had 1-3 dogs. Saw a half dozen dog fights, hear about 10 others. One of the guys from our camp was bitten by one as he was asking the neighbor camp if they would like to join us for some beverages. I was afraid to let my kids walk around the campground. Another thing that bothered my was 1/3 of the dogs seemed to be either pitbulls or pittbull cross. Never understood why guys would go out of their way to own a pittbull. :Hi jack:

Love the diver fins myself. Bought a pair of Mares fins a couple years back and I barely have to move my ankles to move which is how I like it. The fins I bought and like a lot

Wow that's one incredible fish. Not a fish keeping guy myself but if I caught the record I think I would bonk/mount it. Who better to have the official no BS record than me?!!

HAPPY B-DAY STEVE!

Was wondering if there is a way to remove ones own post if there is no replies?

Looks pretty good. I like the thinner body. The only think I do diff is a little shorter hackle.

Liked this video

Bought a pair about 4 years ago as well. Inside seams blew apart after about 10 trips. Wasn't impressed but was stoked when country pleasures warrantied them no questions asked!

Damn Rick! When are you goona wake up and smell the RIO Gold!!??

Rogers is a criminal organization. They tried to blackmail me into paying a bogus phone bill (phone was not even charged or used during this time period) a couple of years ago. It was ridiculous how they went about it. I don't want to get into it but lets just say I will never have another rogers account as long as I live.

I would love to support this so that next season there will be 5 trucks at each access point instead on 1 or 0. Brilliant!

Good on ya for realizing that. At least you learn from your mistakes.

Did the same thing about 12 years ago at a stocked pond near Olds. The little bugger went for my feet the second he got his paws on the bank. I had to sidestep him and he kept coming right at me. I cut half my leader off with my hemostats to get him to stop. Unfortunately he took the fly and half the leader back into the water with him. Over the years I have also caught a gull, a sparrow, freshwater clams, a playboy magazine, an old jacket. There are probably others but this is all I can recall atm.

Booked the 16, 17, & 18 off! I typically do lakes in June but this year I'm going to mix it up in both Alberta and BC. Ill be back to work the following Monday with a new Beard! Sooooo excited.

Never seen this problem since the first season I learned to fly fish. My guess it's the quality of your flies if your cast is tight.

like the tie. never thought of using fabric paint. I will be picking some up. Thanks for the post.

Some amazing photos there Steve. By that way, I have booked off June 16, 17, and 18 and was thinking of fishing a certain little creek. Are you available any of those days?

I was in the emergency department at the Olds hospital a few years back when a 4 or 5 year old girl was brought in with a bite wound on her calf she received while swimming in 2 feet of water in Dickson dam. The doctor was puzzled. I think it was a pike. This kind of thing happens more than we hear about I'm sure.

Bear spray isn't just for bears.

Some other idiot just got caught out in Bearspaw at my Father in-laws. Dumped a ton of garbage with bank statements, and bills with his address. I think these guys should be dumped in a hole along with their garbage, and then push it in.

Anyone else get a snow day? Pretty bad roads out here north of the city.
