adc Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 As you likely know, and thanks to your support last year, starting in April 2008, Police Outpost Lake will be governed by new, Delayed Harvest reg's........We really need your help to benchmark this fishery and we would like as many anglers as possible to fish at Police Outpost on the May 9-10 weekend..........Come Friday night and camp with your family and enjoy the full weekend or come as a group for a day or however much time you can spend..........We'll even try and do a complimentary camp breakfast for all the participants on Sunday morning....... What we need is for each angler to fill out a survey form that will basically track: 1)number of hours fished 2) number of fish caught 3) length of fish caught and 4) method used.......It'll be fun and this data will be invaluable in tracking the success of Police under the new regulations.......... I'll post more information soon concerning the data........Dryfly and I are heading down there in the next week or so to post some signs for the new regulations and while I'm there I will search out an appropriate campsite so that I can let you know what campsite you'll find us in on the weekend and where to pick up and return your log forms..........(And where to find breakfast on Sunday morning!!)......Hope to see lots of you there and I'll try and get a fix on rough numbers for the breakfast so please post whether or not you're likely to attend............. Cheers....... Al..... Quote
beedhead Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Sounds like fun...And a great Idea to track stats of the fish and the success of the lake. If Iam not working I'll be there! Quote
cheeler Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 The wife said: "Sounds like fun" I'm in. Blueberry pancakes this time? I didn't really get a chance to look around much at the lake yet, are there areas easy to fish from shore? (and hopefully, out of the hurricane force winds?) Quote
rusty Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Awesome! Should be in town then and I'll see you there! Quote

(and hopefully, out of the hurricane force winds?) Was thinking my signature French Toast actually..........Yes, some good shore access and you can wade if need be........Wind, maybe!!..... Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 If I am at home, I will certainly make the outing on saturday for as much as I can. Lake is best from a boat, but doable from shore. I'll be shorebound if I come. Quote
Nick0Danger Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 How long of a drive is it from calgary, and what type of campground? Quote
adc Posted March 16, 2008 Author Posted March 16, 2008 How long of a drive is it from calgary, and what type of campground? About 2-1/2 hours from Calgary---south from Ft. Macleod, through Cardston and watch for signs...........Paved road to the park.....Great campsite with 45 spots..........A pretty part of our country....... http://gateway.cd.gov.ab.ca/pubsandmedia/P...chure%20WEB.pdf Quote
bulltrout Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 if schedules are open, i'll be in with the fam... Quote
lonefisher Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Definately gonna try and make that. If plans go as planned it may even be just a short drive north for me. Quote
Nick0Danger Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Wife has the time off and seems keen so good sign, think we have enough to get the group camp? or should i make some reservations? Quote
Teck71 Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Sounds like fun, I'll definatly be there, and I'll see if Cody will join me. Teck, Quote
bulltrout Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 can you imagine the oldtimers or locals that will be going out the monday after that weekend? they'll be lucky to catch a boot.... Quote
bloom Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 can you imagine the oldtimers or locals that will be going out the monday after that weekend? they'll be lucky to catch a boot.... And I'm sure you'll hear them saying..."and now that they got those damn new regs in, no one can catch any fish" Quote
Guest tallieho Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 see you there & i'll let all that helped out ,know about the weekend.the group camp area holds about 20 rigs/tents etc.let me know if you need any help. Quote
adc Posted March 16, 2008 Author Posted March 16, 2008 Wife has the time off and seems keen so good sign, think we have enough to get the group camp? or should i make some reservations? When Clive and I go down to put up signs I'll try and find the campground manager, Don Shaw and see about the group camp........Might be good although the sites in the regular campground are pretty nice..........I'll post a note on the Board if we can get the group site, though........

admin Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks for the announcement, I wish I could make it out. I added the event to the calendar as well. Quote

I mean if a load of people show up there won;t me any place to pitch my tent, or park a trailer right. Just thinking ahead as always. Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Sounds like another opportunity to sleep in my car! See if i can get it off, though that's prime bull season on the lake we all know Quote
adc Posted March 16, 2008 Author Posted March 16, 2008 You buyin' the rum Al?? We may need a dram or two............Could be arranged, methinks........... Quote
Nick0Danger Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 So is this a catch and bonk, or just a catch and record? Quote
adc Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 So is this a catch and bonk, or just a catch and record? You're joking, right??..........The NEW regs are the same as Bullshead.........1 fish only and must be over 50cm.....(no bait, closed Oct.31-Apr. 1)..........If it was catch and bonk I guess the reg's shouldn't have been changed..........I doubt there will be many fish over 50cm. given past stocking levels and kill rates..........I think the ice fishermen had a good winter... ...........S to answer your question precisely it is CATCH AND RECORD..........

Nick0Danger Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 You said fishout! I mean sounds like getting them out. But i truly thought that i was C & R. Nick Quote
