short, soft rods can get you into tight places.......

I know you said I'm not "smart" enough to debate this issue, Ayr, but are you McT's cousin??.....Brother??........Roommate??

Morrow-Moreau--so I can't spell.......Birchy, I don't think the mighty Quinn is in the mix anyway with return of his ailment.......How about Craig Hartsburg??.......Jeeez I can't believe I said that---I can't stand the guy and I think his record with Ottawa speaks for itself........How about Ayr??.......Seems to have some thoughts.........Ooops forgot---he likes McT..........

Some good points, Ayr.......I disagree however with the "only one first line forward" observation.....Hemsky for sure and perhaps Morrow.......But look at all the young talent on that team and compare it to Chicago........Why aren't we getting better??..........Coaching!!.....I like McT as well but we've changed almost everything in the past 15 months and now we need to finish the job........How can a team that showed so much promise be mired in mediocrity at this point of the season??..........Let's face it---they aren't getting better and that's what good coaches do..........They take young talent and make it better.......With the likes of Cogliano, Nilsson, Gagne, Pouliot, etc., etc. they just aren't reaching their potential........And lets face it, guys like Grebezkov don't belong.........That's Lowe's job...........We have lots of raw material, now just need the management to make it into something great...........I too am a fan but it's painful to watch so much potential go unrealized...........I'm doing the same with my Lethbridge Hurricanes and for the same reasons........

Only decent if you like mediocrity........They should never have gone to overtime in SL.......Yeah, they lost to the Wings which was expected but with mistake, after mistake, after mistake today they were lucky to get a point...........The players are better than that and I agree with all who've said it's time for a coaching change..........And MMAX, I think Lowe should go with him...........

Any chance we could trade Grebeshkov to the Flames...........He was absolutely awful today..........

[i'll tune in to the odd fLAMES game (hoping to hear them lose, but usually end up disappointed lately.....) You'll be happy tonite then..............

OUCH!!

Did you see this one??...........More fun than the pussy fish ads....... http://www.sodahead.com/question/244061/pe...CFQEuxwodmGOrcA

How'd Calgary do last night??.........I heard lots of reports leading up to the game that they"own" Colorado........Never lose in Colorado..........I guess they kicked ass there, eh??

You guys need to get over that!! It's time to move on........

Thanks for the discussion and clarification on tax receipts......Cash donations ALWAYS get a tax receipt .....I think there was some misunderstanding last year on the auction where folks thought that if they made a donation they would automatically get a tax receipt..........UNLESS THERE WAS AN INVOICE SUBMITTED THERE IS NO RECEIPT ISSUED.....Hopefully all the good info. provided by Clive and Badger will clarify for this year....... Al....

Dave, Sorry for not responding to your PM but I was getting clarification on your request...........Yes, it is possible and our web-guy will be instructed to do that along with posting the 2008 Annual Report on the SW website.......May be a few weeks away but will happen........ Cheers..... Al......

Woulda been nice to see you take care of it in regular time.......... On second thought why would be expect any help from the Flamers??..........

Thanks so much and I love your logic!!..........Cheques can be sent to me: Allan Caldwell, 137 Coachwood Point, Lethbridge, T1K 6A6 and I will forward them to TU or you can call Kimberly at the TU office (1-800-909-6040) and tell her you want to make a donation to Stream Watch.......Thanks so much and I hope many others will follow your lead!! Al...

Blair, if you have made a cash donation and haven't yet received a tax receipt you should call Kimberly.....T.U.C. handles the donations and issuing the receipts is part of their mandate.......

Kerry... Sorry, there won't be a booth at the show...........Stream Watch is asking anglers to make a minimum 3 year committment to donate $100/year.......If you want to donate cash, you can phone Kimberly Davidson at T.U.C. (1-800-909-6040)--T.U.C. handles the funds for us--and tell her you want to make a donation to Southern Alberta Stream Watch..........They will issue a tax receipt for the full amount...........Thanks.... Al....

In 2008 Alberta Stream Watch was expanded to include a Stream Watch Officer in the foothils of S.W. Alberta. (for those of you unfamiliar with Stream Watch please visit: http://www.albertastreamwatch.com/index.html) Many of you who fished the Oldman/Livingstone area last summer may have had a chance to meet Officer Jeff Cox who initiated numerous angler interactions and made a significant impact on awareness of stewardship and angling regulations in the area. You may have also noted the new signage in the area. It's now time again to start our donations drive for Stream Watch 2009. Costs have gone up and we need to raise roughly $40,000 for each Stream Watch Officer on patrol in 2009. Stream Watch relies on donations from corporations and individuals to fund it's efforts. As many of you know, a good part of the success in our fundraising last year was the result of the FFC Online Auction, thanks to the generosity of donors and bidders alike. Again for 2009, Greg (Toolman) has agreed to coordinate the Auction, collecting donations and compiling bids and our objective this year is to SURPASS last year's total of almost $10,000!! Toolman will be making a Post on this Board soon to get the ball rolling and he will be contacting donors and bidders from last year to enlist your help once again. You might also chat with him at the FF Show at Spruce Meadows next weekend. I know Stream Watch can count on your continuing support through the Auction and also, please consider supporting Stream Watch through an individual or corporate donation. Also, if you know of potential corporate or individual donors that we should contact, please let me know and I'll make sure that happens. Thank you. Al....

Wonder what the mortality rate is since they started that caper??

This could open up a few new fishing spots!! http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=177...meo.com&sho

Any chance we could do all those things Ingrid wants while she's still alive??........

They're doing it again!!..........Perhaps Canada should start to worry about playing them tomorrow!! :)

My Granddaughter with her first stream caught trout........She made the cast, the hookup and the landing........Not bad for eleven years old!!!

This was Cactus the Camp Cat at Whitetail this fall........... "Hey........Lemme in there"

This one goes with Dryfly's "Jake at Bullshead" photo............ "You gonna eat all that yerself or do I get some??"
