Barry Michell's alberta fishing guide?
Used to buy this every year about15 years ago, but stopped because it's pretty much the same every year. Thinking about buying again. Any current readers on here. Thoughts?
Thx |
yes
I read it for the articles, and maybe I might find some new information about my fav lakes that I was not aware of.
in the 2003 issue of the AFG, Barry explains: "One of the most often asked questions is, "Where do you get your information?" The answer's simple. We work damn hard at it. In the 23 years since Ann and I bought Dad's share of the business and went our own way with the magazine, we've not only acquired more than 1000 maps for research, but we've made friends with the provincial fisheries biologists and call them each year to pick their brains about conditions of specific waters in their area. It doesn't end there. Friends, fishing partners and readers feed us new info and give us leads all the time. Then there's the 60,000 km I put on my truck every year as I do my own research or confirm something a reader has pointed out." |

I’m not reading about how to find or catch bass in an Ontario Lake. Will keep buying It suspect. |
I do agree ,if the magazine comes out every year , then every lake should be updated at least every 5 years on what the biggest fish was with in 5 years . Most of the info they are giving you is from 20-40 years ago ,where they are saying pike are up to 20 or 30 lbs.
If they can't do that , then they should be taking that out and just say there are pike in that water body . |
Ah c'mon, what's wrong with a little nostalgia such as saying there may still be 2o lb rainbows in Crawling Valley? I buy the magazine every year, read the articles and laugh a bit at some of the lake descriptions.

The Jensens are too lazy and pretentious to update it to anything more than their little precious brown trout streams LOL

Yep ... buy it yearly, the waterbody info rarely changes ... like the articles ... I thought Alberta Outdoorsmen was publishing it now ... published by Rob Miskoski ...

Having said that, seriously the stagnation is pretty sad. That’s why I find FWMIT to be the most helpful tool. Jensen did initially update the mag significantly from Barry, but he obfuscated watercourses that he deemed too secret. I get it, he was the publisher and can do what he wants, but lots of data was held back- even if it were merely presence/absence of fish species. |
Haven't bought it for a while now, seems like the "info" never changes. As for the articles, meh, I used to buy Playboy for the articles but...

Admin says it is updated……for what it’s worth :scared0018:
