Wonderful

Ran into bears more than a few times over the years but never had to use it. Had it out with a Black Bear once that was snapping and popping as it approached head down but it turned after I backed away and talked it down. I actually think I carry it more for humans and dogs. than bears. Had much more problems with them than the multitude of bear encounters.

I carry the Frontiersman, its 0.857% capsaicin. Don't know if its the best but is readily available.

I doubt if there is a reel on that list that isn't great.

The one you don't have to use.

Welcome to the Forum, enjoy

A wise old curmudgeon to accompany you.

IMHO you get good value from his capes. His stems are also nice and small not bulky.

OK OK I admit it, last time i had coffee with the Bow river trout I agreed to put human detectors on all you guys. I'll remove them and your luck should improve. The Bow can be a harsh mistress, it is considered a mid to expert river, one day it can explode with dry fly action, the next like it's devoid of fish. keep at it boys, change things up and don't always rely on the old standards or what worked yesterday.

Yes I have a few capes. nice product.

700 flies

They're bad new for our trout waters.

Always check the official regulations, the "Alberta Fishing Guide" is just that, a guide not the source document. You'll notice they have a disclaimer at the top of the page and a link to the real regulations. I wonder how many people will be caught by this.
