[baitfisher83]

Hey anyone looking for some company on any trips???i usually go with my dad but he cant always go, was supposed to go tomorrow but he ended up having to work...

[nicemustang]

Don't you work? How old are you?

[baitfisher83]

[barbless]

Look at profile and you will know

[baitfisher83]

i'll know what??lol

[barbless]

Sorry my typing is a little slower than most. I should have directed the comment to nicemustang. My bad

[baitfisher83]

lol not everyone has their age in their profiles from what i've seen....

[nicemustang]

Be nice to have a day off in the week...and the only reason I asked as it seemed to me like you were fishing lots during the middle of week and always talking about your dad....so wanted to know, that's all.

[baitfisher83]

nope i can only go on tuesdays....unless there's a holiday mid week, i'd love to get out more but unfortunately i cant even get out to chesterslough..lol...i could fish the river but i get ****ed off losing soo much gear in there

[backwoodsfisher]

can't tomorrow but if your ever looking on the weekends I am always looking for some good fishing company

I find if you use a floating rapala 3/16 rainbow or brown trout. Once the current starts taking it and you start reeling in, It will dive down. If it ever gets stuck on me I just let out some line and then reel in and/or change your angle dramatically. I haven't lost a lure yet. The diving lure works great too, but can be tricky to dislodge sometimes.

[baitfisher83]

stupid question, but what would my luck be like with spoons??i have a couple of 5'o'diamonds and i'm hoping to pick up some new devils...and yes, i can fish sundays....but dad cant so i'm up for that

[Renslipevol]

Not sure how those would do with trout. But if your picking up some lures pick up some of these http://www.panthermartin.com/lures/Spinners/TroutSpinners.aspx and these http://www.rapala.com/products/luresdetail.cfm?modelName=countdown&freshorsalt=Fresh in the trout.

[baitfisher83]

i've tried panther martins but can never seem to get any distance on them.....

[baitfisher83]

out of curiosity, has anyone fished just outside the bird santuary??i'm not sure where that property ends.....i've only fished under then glenmore bridge and by carburn park.....dont know if there's access anywhere between the santuary and glenmore..

[slingshotz]

There's lots of places for access between Glenmore and the sanctuary but might be tricker if you don't have a car. I know from biking the bike trail along the Bow that you could hit numerous locations quite easily. Theres acess at Odgen bridge and south of the Calfrobe on the east side http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=51.005843,+-114.017658&vps=1&jsv=159e&sll=49.891235,-97.15369&sspn=43.090146,113.90625&ie=UTF8&geocode=FZNJCgMdhjo0-Q&split=0.

I believe the Sanctuary ends near the train yard north of Odgen bridge. It's a shame you only have Tuesdays off, I don't work Fridays so I go quite often alone as most everyone else works.

[baitfisher83]

that would only work if it's after 5pm.....dont know if only a couple hours is worth it, i tend to sit out fishing for like 12 hours..lol

[jeprli]

I've fished from bird sanctuary all the way down to deerfoot bridge. Not a single bite(this was back in April) but I have to say awesome terrain and I wouldn't be surprised if there is some large fish around that area(my wild guess is thats more of a rainbow trout kind of water, pretty fast flow ). I don't ever see anyone fishing that part of the river.

Too bad, I have Mondays off...

[baitfisher83]

i used tohave mondays off...but now i work and my kid has baseball monday and wednesday nights....

[SuCraM]

i've tried panther martins but can never seem to get any distance on them.....
To get distance on spinners attach a couple of split shots and you will get it out much farther. Works like a charm for me.

[tbosch]

Hi Baitfisher. If you are chucking spinners and spoons you should try going with the #15 gold or silver panther martins. They are fairly large and heavy and you should be able to get some distance with them. When I fished spinners in the past I had lots of luck with the large PM's.
