Agreed but ...mussels eat the contaminants in the lakes ...gobys eat the contaminated mussels .......wallys pike salmon trout(s) eat the poisoned gobys for nice easy snacks ...and we ....well we get to see our clean predator fish become not so healthy table fare

try going pike fishing and see what happens...inquiring minds want to know ... BTW nice fish ..

the problem is ....they have ONE last job to do before they die....SPAWN...and if people are illegally harvesting them off the spawn beds before this takes place then the hatcheries are no further ahead and have to continue to " put" them in to keep the cycle going ...which costs money hence the reason for " take" during derbys this is why they are called a "put and take " resource

ive got a similar problem ...my ambassadeaur 5500 C3 is missing the nut that holds the handle on ( reverse thread) and i havent been able to locate one ...so i started checking ebay found lots of my whole reels and parts ..but no nut for the handle...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhg ...anyways you might want to try the same thing ...type in your reel and model on ebay ands see what ya come up with ....

im the same a leechman ...wetskins are best bang of the buck ...64 bucks at CTC...mine is blue though ..

rugged rough man territory nice shots..

If George St Pierre was on OFC i wonder if his handle would be kickingfrog.... OK.. OK... OK ...enough outta me im going fishing ..ciao

i suggest you get a sample of it and try it in your releases ....when braid first came out ..i spooled two reels with it and the line wouldnt stay in the release very well (it was too thin)...tons of knock offs ....but i did keep one rod set up with it for a dipsy and flat lining If you do try it ...let me know your opinion...thanks...

i cant even find my truck keys ..let alone a golf ball.... ...Good for Tiger though ...he is the first to do it ...Even before Micheal Jordan

initiation starts now...just kidding ..welcome aboard !

Mike i think ya still have a little bit of brown stuff on your nose...

I think so too...for the ones that cant afford it ...they dont have to tip their guides... The winter riff raff can afford it ....and for the ones that cant ...i suppose Micky and Minnie Mouse wont miss who they dont know ....if the states charged a $1000.00 bucks a head for the privilege ...then i suppose guys like me would spend the extra 200 and go to australia instead of California...

1 change the laws to 75 feet up and down stream from ANY man made obstructions ( cost zero) 2 install cameras on man made obstructions (night vision capable) in the rivers... 3 shifts during peak times monitoring and acting as a dispatch to send in the Calvary .impose river rehabilitation service as a part of the punishment X amount of hours ( serves the communities and educates the ignorant to the resource they are raping ( cost self sustaining from increased fines incurred) 3 increase licenses accordingly to aid in accommodating a Calvary during peak spawning times ( students of the field to apply X amount of hours for practical purposes towards their graduation ( doubles or triples the feet on the ground writing tickets ) 4 Increase non resident licenses for EVERYONE that isnt a Canadian citizen and they MUST hire a guide) Guide MUST be an active member of a fish club with X amount of hours logged in river rehab or stocking 5 Increase non resident licenses for Canadians ( guide not required ) these are first thoughts that come to mind....i know every action has a re- action ...so have at it ...

dude gets married and now he wants to complain about the government ( all growed up now!)....lol....doc wait until your 50 ish for this crap ....call room service and rest up for the next round ... cheers

not in the lakes when i was there ( might have changed?) ..but the bow river was barbless since i was a kid ....IF you do want to go to Edmonton ...let me know and ill call my son ( he is 22 ) ...he is always fishing out there ...he will be happy to take you to his spot....in turn you can deliver his cross bow to him ...lol... Im sure your sister will know where Standard dam is ....seriously ...velvetta cheese cubes and you will catch two fish to everyone elses one ..

just outside of Cow town is a place called strathmore...standard dam is where you want to go ....litterally TONS of trout there ...( velvetta cheese cubes) must be velvetta)...anywhere along the bow in town youll want to do like the locals and use meal worms or maggots ( pickeral rig presentation with coat hangers on the bottom of the rig to keep you from snagging on the rocks...you have fun i always did ....chestermere lake is great for small pike ..lots of bass and a few bows....boat prefered....McGregor Lake is a bit of a drive but if you want HUGE northerns then this is where to go ( boat required)...Sylvan Lake is a waste of time ( just outside of Red Deer...) ... If you go up into the mountains ...Spray Lakes for the cut throat and amazing scenery ..Camera a must!!!!! Lake Minowanka right in Banff....huge something ????...( i lost it ) but fought for 15 minutes Good Luck and make sure you pack a parka/shorts umbrella and sun block for each and every day...only in alberta youll get 4 seasons in one day ...when are you going ??? If you want to stop in Edmonton ..ny son lives there and im sure he will be happy to take you fishing ( northern sharks) just re read and see last week of Oct oops

i always found it pretty convenient that all the pics of suggested sightings are ALWAYS out of focus...

i figured if i asked what the prizes are ..it would kick this post up again to run through ..

Alabama worthy rainstorm comming across Hurons shore right now ...everybody east of here ...Beware

well its too bad they didnt replace the program with something before doing away with it all together ...there are some people in the world that if they get a bit of authority ..they take it too far ...maybe the "certification" wasnt all it was supposed to be.(weed out the cowboys)

well i dont miss either of them
