Weeds? Ya whatever BCgirl........

Personally I think Metallica would be more interested to know whose using their music without permission. More of a chance on conviction there.

A huge net, steel lined waders and a shot gun just in case.

10 if you do the whole shower, try just the spaces between tiles. Why are you re-grouting? Do you have a leak?

Here's everything you ever wanted to know about keeping Bass alive in tourneys. http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/bassmas...ss_alive_launch I really wish we had a few Bass lakes in Ab, they are a lot of fun to catch, especially on a fly rod.

I saw what you said last night after your dragged your sorry ass home from the bar. Time to "man up" (my new favorite saying) and quit editing your posts. So what is it BCboy? When you go ice fishing with one of your buds and he gives you a ball of powerbait for taking him to your favorite hole in the ice, are you guiding him?

I hope this guy is completely broke now. I wonder if they plan on nailing the American hunters also. From http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...al_gam_mostview Man fined $175,000 for leading big game hunts out of season The Canadian Press March 7, 2008 at 6:13 AM EST MEADOW LAKE, SASK. — An Ontario man, who runs a guiding and outfitting operation, has received a $175,000 fine for operating without a license and hunting out of season in Saskatchewan. It's believed to be the largest fine for such a violation in the province. Wildlife officials say that Jeffrey R. Wolfe of Tillsonburg, Ont., was convicted in provincial court in Meadow Lake, Sask. A three-month investigation in 2005 confirmed that Mr. Wolfe was guiding American hunters on off-season hunts for moose, bear, white-tailed deer and elk near Meadow Lake in northern Saskatchewan. Nancy Heppner, Saskatchewan's environment minister, says illegal hunting and outfitting robs the people of the province of its natural resources. She calls the penalty “significant” and says she's confident it will send the message that the province's wildlife is valued and will be protected.

I think you're right,..I think....maybe.

Seems they changed the lettering.

Exactly my point. Including the people who are supposed to enforce them.

Welcome Cohod, have fun.

Lone, The regulations do have release tips. I talked to SRD about these regs in relation to Sturgeon fishing last year. The fellow I talked to stated that since a sturgeon is prohibited it must be released immediately. This means immediately, in other words not stopping to hold it up for a picture or taking it out of the water if possible(as per the discussion). They use the word immediately several times in the regs in relation to releasing fish. If immediately for sturgeon means immediately, why not for all other fish that are not being kept? Could you imagine FFC without any fish pictures? The regs are lacking though as you stated. The way they are written leaves a lot open to interpretation. They require a good clean up. Releasing Live Fish Sportfishing is so popular that many waters cannot produce enough fish to satisfy harvest demands. Releasing fish is part of the solution (see Tips on Releasing Fish). If the fish you catch is of a legal species and legal size, immediately decide to release it or keep it as part of your day’s limit. A fish is considered retained (kept) when it is not immediately returned to the waters from which it was taken. Never Cull Fish “Culling” is staying within the catch limit for a species by releasing fish from a stringer or other holding device when a larger fish is caught. Fish that have been held on a stringer or in a tub usually die if released because of stress and because of damage to their gills, fins and scales. Releasing Prohibited Fish You must immediately release every fish that cannot be legally kept because of species, catch limit, size limit or other regulation, without exception, even if the fish is injured or dead. When the fish is alive, you must release it in a manner that causes the least harm to the fish. Examples of prohibited fish are: * a species for which the limit is 0. * a fish smaller than the minimum-size limit. * a fish larger than the maximum-size limit. * a fish the size of which is protected by a slot-size limit. * a fish that has been snagged. * a fish caught after you have already kept your limit. Tips on Releasing Fish If a fish is handled carefully and gently, it will have an excellent chance of survival. The most important factor related to fish mortality is damage caused by the hook penetrating the gill and stomach regions. Fish hooked in the lip or mouth have a better chance of survival. Avoiding methods that result in deeply hooked fish is the best way to reduce hooking mortality. “Still fishing” with bait, where the line is not actively attended, usually results in more deeply hooked fish. Attending the line to set the hook immediately at the time of the strike may reduce the occurrence of deeply hooked fish. Fish have a reduced chance of survival if they are caught in deep water (>7 m or 23 feet). * Retrieve your catch quickly. * Release fish immediately (with care). * Avoid squeezing the fish. * Keep your fingers out of the gills. * Keep the fish in water as much as possible. * Remove the hook carefully. * Leave deeply swallowed hooks in the fish. (Side-cutters can be used to cut the hook instead of the line). * Help revive the fish by holding it in the water. * Fish for walleye and perch in relatively shallow water.

Wasn't looking to get into this one but I noticed what looks like the barb/s. (Must be these new glasses that let me see what I've been missing. Maybe I'll be able to tie a fly on in under 5 minutes this year. )

To keep the auction thread clean I thought I would start the ever popular "What Is Considered Guiding In BC" thread here. So what is it? If I drive my buddy to my favorite spot in BC, show him how and where to throw his barbed treble hook (couldn't resist) and he buys me a Timmies on the way back for my efforts, am I guiding him? You get the point, have fun.

I bet it starts too after it's been frozen solid for 3 days straight at -30C. All my satellites did, but NOOOOOOOOOOO NOT the Tecra, the tough machine, the indestructible piece of crap that doesn't start for a half an hour in the morning. Hey wait, that's a good thing, after all it is a business machine!! Buy a Mac, PC's suck and they're only getting worse.

That's what I thought until I bought a Tecra. Piece of crap.

And they're off......................

I'm sure you'll catch much more food with those worms than you could have purchased with the money.

Blame it all on "The Alberta Advantage". Oh, and nine eleven.... http://www.fishalberta.com/Newsfolder/TUC%...resentation.pdf

Darren, seriously, it's time to get out.

I just want to know who the goofy looking guy in the camo outfit is and if he ever dated Barbie??

Welcome gigistrumf. Here's some more to stare at. http://illusioncontest.neuralcorrelate.com...amp;PAGE_id=109

Minn Kota Maximum? By the way what kind of reel did you put on the Sage?
