Strange Fish Seen In The Bow
Dangus replied to threepwood's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
Ya saw a brown tonight about 20 or so inches with a head covered in it. Thought it was dead as it was belly up, but swam when I moved it. Don't think it had much time left. -
Flyfishy gonna have a heyday with this one. Cue the ramblings. Nice fish

Upper Bow Float - Bow Falls/canmore
Dangus replied to porto's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
I would expect high water? That is pretty much the peak of the freshet on most years. -
Bow River Access In The City Of Calgary
Dangus replied to fishteck's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
Pretty big stink made over one 1000 foot gravel bar in the middle of a major city. People need to relax and realize it is what it is. What are the ecological impacts of driving over cobble? "Maybe" less plant life? Well, It floods every year. This isn't soft earth that gets stirred up and introduces sediment into the stream every time someone is in the area. It's orange/grapefruit sized stones and larger. Oh by the way, Who was this caller complaining of people on the bar? Eh, jpinkster? Ha ha Just teasing-- but still I think everyone is getting way too worked up about cars on this stable bar/on a dam-controlled/major/metropolitan River.- 66 replies

The sign is useless. I missed it myself. Put up a noticeable sign, Pull one of those photo radar cops off and post them down there for a couple weeks. Word will get around.- 66 replies

Warm Temps In Calgary - Cause For Concern?
Dangus replied to jpinkster's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
So you get a dampened freshet. How does that affect the warm temps of late July and August? Here's a solution, finally impose a bloody watering restriction on lawns. It's a fn free for all right now. Idiots growing mushrooms on their lawn in a drought. -
Warm Temps In Calgary - Cause For Concern?
Dangus replied to jpinkster's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
There is a snow pack. Warm weather will melt it and will temporarily help the low spring flows so don't worry about temps. It will screw us though if June is dry too. We got 4-5mm in mar and April where the norm is 18 and 25. Typically May, June, July are the wettest months so there is still hope. -

Bow River Flow Forecasts 2016
Dangus replied to fishteck's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
Doesn't that just simulate a freshet anyways? Lots of rivers start their freshet late April or early May. -
There are some nice fish in vaseux by osoyoos. I've caught them using buzz baits (on my one and only gear rod) around the lily pads by the pullout/park near the cliff that says "man someone must drive into this rock face time to time." A little tricky wading in the muck, but I'm sure a popper would work great.

Oh ya forgot about those lakes ha. Bunch of lakes around Jaffray have them. I've seen pics of them up to around 8lb. Wasa lake has a few too

Bow River Flow Forecasts 2016

Some boats may find themselves high and dry! -
I'm emailing them to see. The principle is killing me.

Ok fine, I can agree sure sign it I guess, nbd. But hard copy when it's issued digitally? What's the rationale?
-
That's retarded. Like a signature somehow activates it.
-
You can sign it using markup on your iPhone. There's no reason to say you have to have a physical copy if they're willing to sell it to you electronically.

Just put it on your phone.... Plus the bc licenses update when you add a cw and you can just print a new one and throw the old one away.

Hard to tie a nice chironomid w/o the right materials. Fine wire or tinsel for the rib, and 6/0 or smaller thread will help you keep them skinny. They really shouldn't be much fatter than the hook shank other than a slight taper toward the bead--which makes bead size important when creating your taper. Here is a guide (posted from a guy on another page) Size 16 nymph hook = 5/64 Size 14 nymph hook = 3/32 Size 12 nymph hook = 7/64 Size 10 nymph hook = 5/32
