Hmmm... he needs two hands for that simple stuff?

Ill never understand why people go out of their way to simply kill for the sake of killing. Wonder how they would feel if someone killed one of their family members for sport. Whats the difference?

Only $25 if you have a louise card. Any early season days dont count towards your louse card days. Thats pretty sweet.

I hope he gets spit on and beat every time he shows his face until he does the cowardly thing and takes a bath with a toaster.

Hey guys, just wanted to know if we have many skiers or snow boarders who participate on this forum. I can see about getting a really special price for our members for Lake Louise lift tickets if anyones interested. Lake Louise is open this Saturday btW!! woooot!!!!!!! It's got a new owner, and the Jumps are coming back this year!!!! The Lake Louise Ski Area

There is good fishing pretty much anywhere on the Bow. Sounds like you need some instruction on how to catch them. My advice is to take a beginners fly fishing course with Jim Mclennan. It helped me out a lot and Im sure it will help you as well. Took my course with Jim through country pleasures. Link is here

Happy b-day Greg.

Was this the guy from Didsbury?

Thanks for the video link Tman. I have a ton of respect for this Jim M. Took a course with him through Country Pleasures a couple years back and came away with a whole new understanding of the bow and some great new techniques. Worth every cent and then some.

Thx Don.

"Quote : Anyways. To all the cops out there...I support you 110% and glad you are out there protecting me and my family and putting your life on the line. If you have reasonable doubt that your personal well being or those of the public is in jeopardy...blast the bad guy with either a taser or a gun... Your choice." There were three city police officers at the Rockyview hospital two weeks ago that punched out a drunk lady for spitting at them. One of them punched her in the face about a 6 or 8 times until she was bleeding from her mouth, nose, and cheek at which time they put a brown mask over her face to stop here from spitting (and to cover up the damage). The hospital security is instructed (and complies) to turn off the surveillance cameras before they lay into people who resist in this fashion. Is this proper justice? Do you back them 110%? This happens quite regularly. And before anyone askes, this is not second hand information. I think that there is times where force is necessary but there are times when it is used improperly. Police are people too and they make bad decisions like the rest of us. Each officer is responsible for his/her actions, and no one should categorize them as a group. Two things I do agree with is that the press is bias and this particular kid probably got what was coming to him.

Same here... Spent a long time learning to cast far but find I only do it on still water with streamers.

I would suggest going to your local park and learn to cast there without any flies. Just tie on some yarn on the end of an old leader and practice away. Taking the fish out of the picture really allows you to focus on the mechanics of the cast. I still try to get out to practice every couple of weeks.

Rick you lucky B... nice work on that bull man. Great looking pictures.

Well on a cold day lots of people will tell you global warming is a myth too. It takes more research than just reading newspapers, magazines, internet articles, and watching T.V. to make an informed response. None of us should ever forget that each of the these sources mentioned (which is more sources than most will ever investigate to make their mind up for them btw) are simply some other persons, or groups opinions and findings who likely have their own agendas. It's a lot of work and dedication to think for yourself, thats why most of us are too lazy to do it. Simply human nature. I'm not making a personal stab at you guys, so please don't get upset.

That sucks, I have to admit. I use barrel knots and they seem to work fine.

Wow... really? What specifically didn't you like about it?

Just wanted to share my opinion of Berkley's Vanish fluorocarbon lines. Been using this stuff for two years as tippet and can honestly say its the best tippet I have ever used. It's cheap, super strong, super straight, very transparent in water, knots tie strong and tight. If your a Duncan loop guy, and have never used this stuff you are missing out! You can adjust the loop easily to just above the hook eye every time without a single kink or wave in the line. Simply amazing. Anyone else using this stuff? Link to it here

Had to laugh at this one :

Hey fellow tiers! Been a while since my last pattern post. Would love you guys to critic this new damsel I tied today. I am in search of the perfect pattern and think this one may be a gooder (fishing it tomorrow if theres a damsel hatch): Hook: Long shaft #12 Mustad Tail: Marabou Olive Body: Olive hares mask Rib: Medium Gold legs: Olive Partridge Shellback: Olive thinskin Eyes: 20lb Mono Thread: Olive #6

Another great vid there THF! Thanks for sharing.

I truly believe that 99% of people that poach fish, use bait illegally, used barbed hooked ect., are fully aware that they are breaking the laws. Unfortunately I don't think the signs would help much. For example, two weeks ago at Beaver, I was setting up my U-boat at the bank when a guy pulled up in his aluminum boat and started rigging out. He proceeded to tell us he caught a bunch but decided to only keep 2 (the limit is 2 with 1 over 40cm and one under) which I thought was odd the way he said it. Then as he walked by me he was carrying a large sour cream container with his worms. The sad part was that his truck was parked right in front of a giant sign that states the rules. He simply didnt give a crap. In addition, earlier that morning I fished Ironside for the first time. I was stoked to see a huge sign that stated the regulations for the lake, as well as the fines that you have to walk right past to get to the water. Now, what was the first thing I saw on the ground as I wend to place my boat on it.?? Some asshats pickerel rig complete with dried worm and barbs not 6 feet from the signs. I say line em up and fire up the flame thrower.

I would be looking to see if you have been hacked. That would be my num 1 guess.

Country pleasures also has SIMMS on the shelves and a nice selection of sage products. Thier website is here.

Jim is a shinning inspiration to our community (fly fishing and other). Best wishes on his quick recovery.
