Wonderful tie

Tried a few methods of finding leaks, the flashlight was the best. But it seems once they start going it accelerates. After repairing my old Simms last year over and over I got tired of wet feet. Did get 5 years out of them. Have had 3 pairs of Simms, good waders but getting rather pricey for the name. Needed a new pair this spring and darn happy with my new Redingtons Sonic-Pro's. Time will tell but they have been great.

Thanks for pointing this out will read and take time to digest.

Hatch of #20 BWO)'s, short tail with CDC wings.

Mallard Point, Fish Creek Park. The reason is there is a Bird Sanctuary there.

New Rules posted.

I bought all mine at Fishtails but years ago. think I have about a doz.

Much fewer fish in this section, I live up here also. You do have to look for the right kind of water. there are some decent fish but you do have to put in the time to find them. Trico's and small Mayflies on the river now.

Been just using machine screws and replacing them every couple of years. The Kold Kutters look nice but the shipping is heavy. Should check out some local motocross shops to see if they carry them.

I had a pair of Simms G3’s with Vibram soles. For a couple of years. Sold them and went back to Felt soles for this old guy again. Much more secure grip and so much safer.

I'm just writing some new rules for the Buy and Sell area to be in line with other forums. Looking for feedback on any thoughts. We have had quite a few new users with only one or two posts placing ads and never being heard from again. I would prefer something like 30 days membership and 20 posts.

Thanks, we will all keep our eyes on the water to help bring closure to this family in need.

Also have been seeing the odd rainbow dead along the bank. Not a lot but a few

Nice tie

I would just do a few pools but concentrate on casting, stream side entomology, and where trout lie.

Wise words

My opinion is my opinion. I ask you to respect mine and the reason for it as I respect yours and your use of the resource. I do not attack you personalty, but wanted to point out that which one enjoys may have repercussions on others. 1961Flyman I would highly recommend that you readdress your rock throwing statement to Jayhad..

Kind of funny, the first year I turned 65 and could fish without a license in this province, I had a bit of a panic attack. Ended up calling Fish and game, I guess my voice betrayed me and the patient young lady said really sir, you don't need to purchase a license in a very caring tone (more than likely not the only call she gets on the subject). That's what buying a license for 50 plus years does I guess. Met a CO out there streamside and I blurted out "I don't have a license" more from false guilt I guess. He chuckled and replied, didn't think you needed one. After chatting for a time about the mysterious ways of trout, a mutual love of the field and he shared a cup of coffee from my thurmos I felt more centered about it. Now on a pensioners budget I do appreciate the gift that is given us at 65.

You do not need a WIN card after 65 or need to purchase a license for regular fishing. You will need a WIN card if you apply for any draws though. You are required thoug to carry Gov. ID establishing your age. Please refer to page 18 of the Alberta Fishing Regulations.
