troutlover Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Same as every year. I'm going to try to explore them hills a little more but as always i know the Bow will win and the hills will wait. I'm a sucker for fish that pull hard and are willing to entertain till 2 a.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertrossi Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 My only goals for 2009 are to fish the bow more extensively and almost exclusively!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundvike Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 1 simple goal catch my first fish in alberta on the fly that isn't from the bow river. other thoughts include my first bull trout, fish the hills, and more than 10 days on the bow.

Conor Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 1- complete my first 'boo blank and rod- hopefully a second and third too 2- catch a good trout on a rod I built myself, a line I refinished myself, a leader I made myself and a fly I tied myself 3- spend more time on the Bow and less time driving to water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 forgot one: 4- practice casting; not on the water- just practice for 10-20 min each week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailhead Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Mine are kind of like the rest of you. Get out to some smaller creeks more. Drift the Bow which I didn't get to last year. Hit some water to the north of Cowtown. Use my float tube. And just enjoy it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With will and determination you will....in my case I was in hospital for awhile and that got me started but the urge was there for quite some time....now there is no urge at all; I can't stand the smell of the stuff anymore these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikefromsundre Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 1. encourage more folks to golf 2. convince all the city folks that the bears are big and nasty out in the west country 3. fish all summer (after my daughter's wedding the first of July) 4. start planning for my dream season of fishing when I retire in a few years 5. use my new SLR to take some great photos of friends fishing (and use them to make great Xmas cards and presents) 6. get out more in the fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
126barnes Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 1. See Dad land his first Salmon and maybe hook a few more myself. 2. Fish with my boys more this year. 3. A big fresh October brown, thick water would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
