Dangus

Up to 50cms! Likely that and nose creek making the river below the city ugly.

True but if you think of The "200 savings" and that they don't need to mention a name, I can't see it being a privacy issue.

I'd just prefer getting a call with the outcome. Esp if the guy was a total d bag and the officer really let him have it.

Lol

Trout, how long would you estimate the larva were? Did you notice the adults being the dark wing variety or more of a pumpkin orange?

Great little resource on the naturals, fly patterns and when/where to present each stage of the life cycle. http://www.west-fly-fishing.com/entomology/caddis/october.shtml

Those are obviously theives that dumped that stuff there. Wouldn't expect anything less, really.

Was thinking that they could be fluttering around in the next couple weeks given how early everything else has been

Anyone have go to patterns for pupa and dry?

There is a 9 foot 4 wt pro4x on sale at wholesale. I think it's 20 percent off. But I didn't ask.

Yeah my korkers fell apart right away too. More the boot material started to decay. Almost like when when you leave rubber out in the sun-just cracked and broke up. Shoo goo those and get a few more miles until you buy Simms guide boots. Just remember to keep it thin otherwise your boot will feel very stiff.

Make sure the fly is leading the parade Still can be having a bad drift if your indicator is ahead of your fly. Small little lifts every few sections will improve your take detection and make up for the difference in current speed between the surface and bottom of the river.

Just swing it slow through any holding water.

I had one of my best days this year between 1-4 pm on a bright sunny day.

The long arm showboat. Getting real tired of "creative" shots on wide angle lenses making fish looking artificially large. Not saying that's not a big fish. But it looks like it's a taimen.

Looking for a line. Anyone know who's got it?

Licences must be carried at all times while sportfishing and transporting fish and must be presented immediately to an officer upon request. That's a quote from the regs. No mention of needing it in print in the three places this is written. You can sign documents digitally using "'mark up." Hell, I put offers on houses with digital signatures last summer. Based on what I've found, If a CO fined you, it wouldn't hold up.

Ha. Anyone know where this is written?

Just got back from the castle area. Place was crawling with co's. Got checked. Good to see them out. Caught some *hit for having a digital license only. Still pisses me off that a deal is made about that. But he let me go.

Ya I see your point. If you go to the bc regs page there is a breakdown of the numbers (total) but no way to see which days were purchased. Would also be nice to know, as maybe aug 2 has 100 people on the river whereas aug 3 has 2. That may influence your choice of dates.

Well, bcube, my friend. I presume it was weighted towards more availablity during high time, as there are fewer spots available as you move later and later through sept and October. (Also the length of fishable water on the wigwam shortens) If it was all equal, one would presume there would be more slots available in October 16-31 than aug 1-15. (There are 25 in that aug slot and 1 in that October slot) I punched in various dates and none were blocked out as long as that two week period still had days open (which they all did August 1 onward). This leads me to believe they don't limit the number of anglers on any particular day. It's just per two week period. There isn't a conspiracy.

No tires slashed? Ha

an uproar from bc? Haha. I've said it here before--there isn't exactly a convoy of bc residents flocking to Alberta every weekend. Quite the opposite is true. Why travel when you have dozens of rivers in your backyard. Yes some do head out in the spring, when most of their streams are closed. However, if there was a change, they'd probably just say screw it, I'll fish one of the dozens of trophy lakes in my backyard--they're staring at an indicator either way! (Or just go spring steelheading?) I talked to one of the biologists in cranbrook that was responsible for these changes, last season before they came out. Nothing ever came up about financial gain. The intent was merely to reduce pressure on these systems, while preserving it for the residents of the province. Sure the increase in revenue is nice, but I doubt it was the core principle.
