Fished with Myth at B.H. today...Got into some fish...Bite was real good for a while...Lake was a little crowded, but not to bad for a Sat...Co's were out, handed out a couple of liquor tickets... And a few tickets for other infractions...They did a thorough job of checkin out all of the Fisherman...Great to see!!!..Slowed down a bit , so we decided to check out Michelle, We did about 10 days ago...but was still pretty much froze over...And worried the fish had winter killed due to the extremely low water level...Within a couple minutes of bein there, we were both into fish...We had a hoot!!!...Got allot of the little guys to hand...Very very healthy lookin fish...nice and plump, and no signs of any problems with them at all...And were putting up one hell of a good scrap!!! ...Myth was just cheering as he was catching them (He just loves that little lake)...I do to, but not quite as much as he does... ...We walked around looking for signs of winter kill...But nothing...No gulls at the lake was my first clue that the fish might have made it...Very happy the fish made it!!!...Seen allot of runoff finding it's way in from Various parts of the lake...Thats what she needs... Cheers...Jeff... The new Dam... The new spillway...

Nice Rod!...Did ya happen to find it in Nanton????...Cool little town...With lots a goodies ...

Awesome pic!!!!...Have took a few pics of those birds at B.H in the last few day's aswell...Never seen them out there in the past...But a very cool lookin speciman... Cheers...Jeff...

That's the point...The Oil comps hire these so called enviro hands...and they don't do nothing but take a couple samples...And call it good...Shouldn't these hired, so called enviromentalists be doing a more than putting a false reprt on on paper...????...At the time I was Filling in on the rig...And thought I had done the right thing, as to tell the enviro dudes what was going on...And they said they would look after it..Only after the spill had stopped, and run out of volume...It stopped...As far as I could tell the next day.... Thanx for the tip on the hotline...If I see crap like that again...It shall be phoned... Cheers....I think...Jeff...

Nice pics....She be a workin...

Along with diggler...He has worked in the patch for a few years...And my-self for about 15 years...Things are allot better than they were here in Canada when I started...Company's do there best for the environment(For what they think is good)...But from what I can see first hand, being a Driller for the last 7 years, and getting to ask allot of questions about enviro issues, to These so called Environmentalists that the oil company's hire (TO COVER UP THE .....) ...and I get very few answers....There is allot of cover up....I worked on a rig RIGHT beside Castle river in the past...Seen allot of Crap leitching into the river....All organic material...But still...I did my best to contain it...Let the Enviro people know about it...BUT.... Thats the truth....Ive seen it!!!...And not at all happy about it.... Thats one of the reasons I want to get out of the Patch....

Now I'm guna getter!!! ...LOL...

I feel kinda guilty due to the fact I was drilling Core and Plug back abandonment wells up there all winter...Enhancing the exploration of the Oil Sands... Was interesting work...(The geology)...But thats about it...

What a shame....I can't wait to get out of the Oil Patch....Soon...

I just can't stop looking at those Chrome beauties!!!!....Huge healthy lookin fish!!!...And wild ones to boot...WOW...

I thought it was only windy, when you were out on the waters...LOL...

WOW...Sweet lookin fish...Thanx for sharing!

There was quite some water open on the Far East shore...Not sure if it will close up...I'm thinking it wont...But...I live close and would hate to see you drive all this way to have no open water...If I drive out and it is froze over...No big deal...I just go for a drive..And take all the back roads home..And make a little tour of it, take a few pics along the way...By Sat or Sun, I'm pretty sure there will be some open water...Going out again tommorow, and will let all yas know what it is lookin like... Cheers...Jeff..

Agreed...4&6 Weight...Unless going for monster pike, huge Salmon or big steel head....My thoughts... Try to fit in a 5 weight too...

I kinda thought the wind would keep it open as well...But it has been some cold in the hills the last few days...Ive been keepin track of the weather up there...Had a 50-50 feeling on ice coverage on the way out to the lake today...Oh well...got my fix-with a couple not bad females...Randy...Your time is coming....I can just feel your anxiety building..As I know you love to fish this lake...Where in the frick did spring go???... What happened to that +28 stuff we had....

Took a tour to B.H. Today to check things out...Damn near frozen over...A little bit of the far far East side was Open...Seen a guy fishin over there so I thought I'd giver a shot too...As I did drive out to fish...When I got the lake it was snowing a little...Just a breeze...not too bad I thought to myself...By the time I trampled trough the 2-3 foot drifts...Got a few casts in...Got a couple fish to hand...The snow stopped...And the wind just started to HOWL...That was enough for me...Guides froze...Hands froze...reel froze...The guy that was fishing on the East bank up from me , must of had some serious warm clothes and a some kind of a rod de-icer ...Cuz he stayed for a while till I seen him walk back to his truck...Just before I left..A couple regular spin casters showed up that I have got to know over the past...We talked for a bit..and They were going to giver a shot aswell... Thought I would show a few pics...(No fish pics...Camera stayed in the truck)...There were a couple real brave gophers...

Finally got my daughter back to Calgary yesterday...Checked road conditions on the net....Said they were good...Not really...Still drifted snow clear across the Hi-way... Seen one plow out between Med Hat and Calgary... ...Hit a couple white outs on the way....Hmm...Not impressed...Roads were good on the way back to the Hat...Due to some sunshine...And not snow plows...

Ravaged is right....No selection of reels...Fly tying material....and low on just about everything for the last month.... Hope they get some stuff in soon....been looking for cheaper end reel...but no selection....All 3/4's and 7/8's... They did replace my 444 classic...I bought some a month ago...and it started to crack....Was happy bout the line replacement. Sorry for the hijack...just had to put in my 2 cents...

Thats pretty cool....Photo shop pic (above) with the dots helped me make up my mind....looks to me to be the same fish...

Well you picked a good time to be there....It's damn winter here...Sounds like a great time...Have fun... Cheers....Jeff...

Die Hard...That a boy... ....Going to try to get my daughter back to Calgary today..(roads pending)...And maybe get out to the lake...And join ya in some Christmas fishin...

Pretty cool pic mang...

Awesome....Thanx for sharing!!!

Cant rape the willing....

Went to take my daughter back to Calgary This Aft...Drove about 5 miles past Redcliff and turned around....Terrible road conditions...Still....Get them plows going.... Thought I would share that...In case some of yas were thinking bout drivin to the Hat or vise versa... Jeff...
