My lady and myself decided to give the newly working boat a good run today, headed down the river . Anyone putting in at Cottonwood take waders, had to back way out to get the boat off, definitely changing my exhaust next year, I get nervous when its way under water :scared0018:
It was pretty cool on the ride down the river, and getting very very shallow, but it was sure fun :sHa_shakeshout: make sure you have polarized glasses if you go, the channels are getting pretty small in some places. We fished my favourite spot down that way for a couple or three hours, not too much happening besides a couple little walters. Moved to a different location and hit fish as soon as the wind came on and the walleye chop started. More Golden eagles around too, they sure are awesome birds.

nice little sauger, still wondering why I had never caught one til this year, and seem to get them most outings now.

last one is ok, Ive caught bigger but not by too much, (so far) but I was looking for dinos, these just keep me occupied while Im waiting :bad_boys_20: Its funny how they can bite so lightly for their size, I know we missed a lot because of the wind today too.

a question for you WC, I have some trimmings off some salmon fillets a friend gave me from the coast. I cannot find anything in the regs pertaining to it being legal to use as bait in AB waters open to bait. any thoughts oh dino quester.

Only the skin, fins, eyes and dead eggs of game fish may be used as bait, provided these fish were lawfully caught by angling. also you can use salmon eggs. just my thoughts, if its the parts listed I dont see why not, but Im not F and W :) I use sucker strips myself.

Would be unreal to see that Wayne... When I first came to Canada in Saskatoon ,Saskatchewan they were pilot project for Peregrine Falcon breeding program, had a couple nesting pairs on TD building and Radisson Hotel( was Ramada then) and you could sit by the river and watch them dive bomb for pigeons mid air. Was unreal to watch and you could watch for hours was awesome...

one of the bonuses of fishing down here is watching falcons and now the golden eagles patrolling the cliffs along the river trying to spook up a pigeon dinner. lots of wild pigeons nest along the cliffs.
