Crowsnest Solstice Fish Out

[JMasson]

I'd like to go. Anybody mind driving from Calgary? I really don't feel like driving all the way from Edmonton...I can meet you anywhere in the city, I just need directions.

"30 kilometers below zero" hahahahhaHHAAHAHA!

 

I don't care where yer from.. that's funny right there.

[JMasson]

Yeah...I looked at the long range forecast and have decided to hell with that idea! If I didn't have to work outside all day in those temps. I would consider it but I think I will just stay in my nice warm bed all day and dream about June.

I'm just back from Portugal and I'm having trouble staying warm INDOORS!!.......Gonna have to miss it as I have the kids coming down from Edmonton for an early Xmas as there's work in the forecast for them for Xmas day.......Were it not for that I'd go just for the hot chocolate and hot dogs with Harps and Terry----and maybe a dram of Scotch.........Have fun if you go!!

 

Al.....

I've got family visiting this weekend, so I'm afraid I'll be passing on the fishout. Sorry, no hot dogs this year. Terry

I drove by Leitch Colleries yesterday, and the river was almost frozen over -- only a small channel of open water. Not sure what it's like at Burmis, but my guess it closing in there too. Oh well, I guess it'll have to be spring solstice. Terry

Damn, now I'll have to spend the day with the in-laws. oh well, the father in-law

at least keeps good Scotch on hand.

Heard a good mother-in-law joke on the radio this morning.

 

Two guys in the bar are talking about their mothers-in-law. First guy says, "my mother-in-law is an angel." Second guy replies, "you're lucky, my mother-in-law is still alive."

[dryfly]

Well I would not have used the adjective "brave" Can think of numerous other words to describe abnormal behavior--but the board nanny keeps censoring them like this !#$%#!%$. :$*%&:

 

Yeah .. anyone go?

[Taco]

Ya know, I fished n' hunted in a lot of adverse weather in the past but anyone who went flyfishin' yes'rday is nuckin' futs period

[Flytyer]

About ten years ago I fished the Crow with a guy from MB in late March in a snow storm at about -5°C. He said one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

 

"You know back home we fish in conditions like this all of the time. Except we are standing on ice and wearing full-body snowmobile suits."

 

I nearly died laffing. The fishing was very good.

[beedhead]

That Crow is sure "one hell ofa stretcha water".....We are some lucky persons to have it!....

 

Cheers...Jeff..
