do you guys ever preview the boats that will be for sale?

I saw a couple of guys just north of the Fish Creek bridge 2 weeks ago, and one of them was throwing a soft plastic minnow swim bait. Couldn't tell if it was salted or scented, but is that what you're referring to as minnow tube?

good call!

Hi Folks;
Had a lot of fun fishing my home waters (Bow around Cochrane) last season, catching cutties, rainbow, hybrids, cutthroat and brook trout. I drifted Ghost reservoir into town several times with my raft but did not drift south of cochrane.
A couple of questions -
1. Any plans for a legit boat launch below ghost reservoir?
2. Is there a launch (or access) around Bears Paw reservoir to take the boat out?
Thanks,

The dog is a silver lab, Finn.
Would use the boat for Bow/Mo/Columbia/Elk and some lakes also (with a kicker), Sounds like maybe a drift is the way to go. Or perhaps a drift low profile as a compromise...
-
pretty sure folks want to drift under the bridge because there's trout holding there . Although you could always launch below and paddle up - if there's not too many waders.

Hi All;
New to this forum but have read some great threads so far!
Does anyone have any preference between a drift boat vs skiff ? Doing some research as i'm looking to upgrade my boat. Have mostly used a zodiac or NRS fishing rafts in the past, but want to upgrade so there's more room for my puppy to join now that she's getting bigger
.Cheers,
EM

Good tip, I'll have to try that this weekend with the warmer weather around southern AB.

Great vid, Definitely will need to tie a mouse on this summer!

Question - What length of leader do you use with larger streamers.
Typically used 18inches tied onto a sink tip in Montana, but haven't had as much success with this rig in the Bow...
Thanks

I usually 6lb tip with a 6lb fluo dropper.
Don't typically use weights, but I may give it a try this summer to get deeper quicker.

Sounds fun!
Haven't had much experience with city lakes, but would be interested in getting out there...and I have a small boat.
Do any of the community lakes not require the person fishing be a resident (or a guest of a resident)?
Thanks,

I have had several deep cycle batteries for my 55lb Minnkota, first bought a Bass Pro and it wasn't great, last season I got a costco deep cycle (biggest one you can get) and it's WAY better, half the price and has a warrentee!
Definitely recommend the Costco Battery - single charge works for a camping weekend, if you use is sparingly...
Note - don't bother with the solar panel, better off boosting off a truck or charging back at camp - which is what i had to do with Bass Pro batttery
Hope this helps,
EM
