Three years ago I called in so many that I ended up with a nice reward. Enough $ for a new Loop Opti Stream fly rod with some left over for fly tying goodies.

Please be pro active out there and take a stand. Our Trout and other species are under a lot of pressure this year with water levels low and temperatures high. Taking illegal catches will put too much pressure on a delicate balance that could effect our fisheries for years to come. https://www.solgps.alberta.ca/programs_and_services/public_security/Pages/ReportAPoacherProgram.aspx 1-800-642-3800 or #3800 if calling from a TELUS cell phone Albertans can help protect fish and wildlife resources through the Report a Poacher program. If you see or suspect any illegal activity related to fish or wildlife, call the number above. The Report a Poacher line is available 24 hours a day and is toll-free across North America. Callers providing information that leads to charges being laid may qualify for a reward. Callers can remain anonymous and still qualify for a reward. Any personal information you give is kept strictly confidential. Any information you can provide Report a Poacher about a suspected violation is valuable. If possible, collect the following details: Date, time and location of the event Licence plate number of the vehicle involved Any distinguishing details about the vehicle such as: Make Model Colour Dents Stickers Any additional details Description of the people involved Details about the violation Keep this on your phone or better still on speed dial.

Wonderful shots Steve.

Made enough for a nice shopping spree in past years.

Kudos to you , not enough people report.

You might want to check out Garmin's Basecamp to see if it is the type of thing that world work for you.

Please keep safe everyone. Hope the drift boat comes out in recoverable state.

A city boy went to visit his country cousin. He talked constantly about the virtues of city living and how deprived and uneducated county folk where. They walked across the field and the country boy bent over quickly several times, pick something up and quickly hide them in his pocket. What are you hiding there said the city dweller. "Haven't you heard of the smart pills we grow here? they will up you IQ" replied county. "Quick give me a few" said city and he popped a few of the large shiny brown pills in his mouth and started to chew. "Those aren't pills" he said spitting them out, they taste like rabbit sh#t. See they're working already said county smugly.

How scientific studies work. A study was set up in regard to noise and frogs. In the control experiment a frog was subjected to a loud horn. The frog leap forward. The scientists then removed the frogs left leg. They sounded the horn again and the frog jumped forward again, although awkwardly. The scientists then removed the frogs right leg and sounded the horn again. The frog didn't jump. The Scientists concluded that if you remove both legs from a frog they go deaf.

By the number of break in's it looks like an organized crew. We need some guys to do a watch of these places. Perhaps putting up some game cams.

Or less, kind of like a cost of admission to dig up the back country.

Thanks for posting, fly fished for Lakers a few times on that lake, brought back memories. Not perused by many. Kudos on the video.

Along with locks the SPOT Trace is a great way to go. Hide it in your unit. Sends you an alert text or message when it is moved with your unit, see where it is in real time on Google maps. You can follow and take any action you deem fit.

Another one in the NW if you need it.

However, anglers are encouraged to employ safe fish handling procedures at all times when practicing catch and release angling on Alberta waterbodies. If high water temperatures persist and worsen, Alberta Environment and Parks may take additional measures including, but not limited to, angling restrictions to ensure protection of the resource during periods of high stress on the fis

It's the Law Ride on approved trails only Keep wheels out of streams, rivers, and lakes Wheeled or tracked vehicles are not allowed on beds or shores of watercourses, wetlands or waterbodies Driving in these areas produces harmful ruts and erosion problems. In addition, fine sediments stirred up by tires are harmful to fish.

Excellent post

Here's another winner that was in and out of a small Cuthroat/Bull trout Stream. Sped away when he saw me taking pictures.

I got pictures of a guy running up the Burnt with his ATV. Sent em to F/W but heard nothing back. I seem to see it time and again. He saw me taking pictures and sped up the slope. Knew he was wrong. Wish we could at least license them so we could get plate numbers.

You'll love the Steffen, my brother in law has one and tried it last spring. Nice caster.

Agreed, slow action, very accurate and light presentation.

Sorry you where a victim of crime. It certainly is getting much too common, it seems a week doesn't go by without hearing about someone being ripped off. They seem to be getting more and more brazen.
