Perfect - thanks Jayhad!

Hi I have an aluminum boat and want to ensure my fly rods don't get bounced around during travel. Would like to secure them alongisde the inside wall of the boat. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to use, what works best, and where to buy or purchase them? Would need to strap and secure about 4 -5 rods (maximum). Thanks guys Cgyguy

Wow! And to advertise this crap is unbelievable!

They are completely different. The Bow River Resort is / was the cabins. My bad in confusing you. The North Bow Lodge has accomocdations and food all under one roof and each have their own bedroom with shower and bathrooms. Nice place. The Bow River resort WAS the ones with the cabins that have the blue roofs on the cabins themselves. cgyguy

I stayed there quite a few years ago. It went t's up the year after. The guy I talked to who owned it, also had a big house overlooking the cabins at the top overlooking the cabins. The road down was quite steep but once down there, it was a very nice spot. It looked promising, but i think he had a hard time with getting the place insured as it was on the flood plain ( i think). I have tried in the past, several times to call them but your right the number is out of service. I past it in the boat last weekend and it looks like someone is working down there, not sure what is happening though. The cabins were very nice when we did stay there. Nice pine beds, very rustic but gorgeous inside and very warm and cozy. Had a small wood stove but if i remember right, they did not have any electricity in the cabins. Might be worth a drive to speak to the guy who owns the house at the top of the hill, and see what is happening. Might do that myself i get a chance this weekend. Will let you know if i find anything out. It would be nice to see it available again, I liked it. Have also stayed at the Bow River Resort and was impressed with great food and service! Wouldnt hesitate to stay there again either. Hope this helps. cgyguy

Question: Are Bow river trout leader shy? Specifically, what is everybodys take on dry fly fishing and length of leader that serves best. Myself, i have used anything from 7 feet (my standard being 9 ft leader up to 15 feet) with the size of the fly matching the leader size (3x for size 12, 4x for 16,etc). I am interested to know what other fisherpersons opinion are as to what works best. I am speaking specifically on the Bow river fishing with dries. I know the bigger the fly then possibly the shorter the leader such as a hopper dropper rig, but I am talking about fishing dries only, and river only, not lakes. Take into account that i am talking a universal leader length that could be used all day. Do you feel or think that the Bows and Browns are leader shy? If so, how shy? Any feedback is appreicated! Cheers Cgy

Sad, pathetic, morons.

Agreed great video - very sad overall though.

I just got one for my 52 bday! One thing you need to know before using it, is that it does not come with an SD card. Do NOT try to use one from your camera or your pictures will be lost! Make sure to read the destructions first as it gives you lot of guidance on what type of card to purchase,etc. It does make fish loook big underwater but it is really an awesome addition for your recording pleasures! Enjoy!

Low Hole = A Hole - Simple

Hi Rickr Please let me know if I can assist with anything. He he I have a jet Zodiac that could be used for an outing on the Bow as a gift? Ralph (cgyguy)

After all that has been said and done about drift boats, low holing, jet boats, and inconsiderate fisherpeople, I have decided to forego my jet, sell the drift, and am purchasing this for the river this year ! See you on the water!!! Cgyguy

Good comments from both sides on this issue. I have recently moved from a driftboat to a Zodiac with a jet. The reason - i have bursitis and cannot row anymore and if i do, i end up with Popeye elbow. My boat is a little under 14 feet and I DO slow down for angers as I pass them. My overall take on this, is the same as everyones (it"s the attitude of the operator of any water craft) that makes a good boater or an Ass#$. I also think that there should be some sort of a size limit as to the motor limits for the bow, as well as length restrictions. I have fished many times below the Carseland bridge, and was very amused a few years ago, when we came back to find an 18 foot Larson with a 75 horse propellor stuck in the river and buried below the prop. Don't know how he faired out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Anyhoo, my 2 cents worth. I will always do my best to respect all fishers whether they are in a boat or wading from shore when I am in my Zodiac (which is NOT RED BTW )! Have a safe outing! Cgyguy

Wow heart attack here I come!

I have been on the board awhile now BBT - can you tell me what you mean by your comment Occupy Cuttie Hut? Just curious is all

Congratulations to all who worked so hard to get this in place!

YUCK!!!! :zip it:

I love to cook, especially outdoors. Food just seems to taste Sooooo good when you are outside. My question is: what are some of the best outdoor recipes (tried and true) that everyone likes to cook or eat while camping? I am sure some would say hot dogs and hamburgers (keep it easy) which is ok, but what about all of the backyard chefs out there? Do you like to grill, slow cook, deep fry, pan fry, your favourite meals? What do you cook that everyone loves while camping? Me? I use a Cobb a lot of the time as it is easy to place a few coals in the bottom, get it stoked up, and then do a mustard honey chicken. Reciped is easy: Either chicken pieces or thighs (skin on) Place in a sealed ziploc bag and add: 1 cup Frenchs mustard 1/2 cup honey seasonings (i like poultry seasong, montreal steak spice, etc) Mush up the chicken in the bag and coat thoroughly Let marinade for any from 30 mins - overnight (longer the better) grill on both sides until skin is nice and crisp on all sides wrap in foil and continue to cook until cooked thoroughly (no pink) remove from grill and let stand for 5 minutes covered in foil serve and enjoy! Cheers!

WOW! Cool thread! My nickname is Bear and YES I do S*^t in the woods . Grinr - wow welcome to the forum - where have you been? Hunting I suppose! Your insight, knowledge, and all round great attitude, respect, dignity, and appreciation for the outdoors and other forum members is recognized as it is! By the sounds of things, you are far more experienced than any of us here (sorry Tacobreath, Hawg). Seriously Grinr, did you jump on this board to stir things up or have you been chasin bear and away in the bush for some time??? Relax, we are all here to learn, read other peoples perspectives, meet new friends, and take a little time away form the real world and share something we ALL love - fishing! If your willing to share your stories and views - great, but scrapping with everyone you come across on this board, and calling them down will lose you much respect with us other folks who are here to just enjoy the sight! This WAS great thread! Cheers!~

Times x 2 agree whoeheartedly!

FINALLY - thank you!~

I guess my age is getting the better of me, but WTF does IMHO stand for???

Wow! Surprised to see this as they will now be cutting out the middle man somewhat (guide shops), and make their profit directly from the consumer. Myself, i like to go and hang out at the local fly shops, check out what's new, and enjoy spending my money there when I find something I like. Kinda takes away the social aspect of buying Simms equipment. Not sure I am impressed by this at all.

Agree whole heartedly! Went to the RV show and found it very hot and stuffy, full of little ones climbing in and out of the units and at your knees, (they were ahving fun though), and huge crowds of people. After all was said and done, my legs were tired, I was sweaty, and in a bad mood. Not worth my 13 bucks to park and 26 bucks for us to get in. Shoulda went for a walk instead!
