Hank Peters Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Just wondering if anyones going out Wed night to the N. Sask as per calender Hank Quote
dave robinson Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Hank: I think a few are going to try. We'll meet at Strathcona Science Park around 7pm and go have a look to see if we can fish without scuba gear. Quote
albertabowhunter Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 A bit of a thunderstorm out there right now.... coming down hard too. Is it supposed to rain all evening? If so, you may get a little wetter than ya thought later. Quote
RangerBob Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 What a thunderstorm though eh? Huge rain drops as well. I had to pull over to the side of the road on my way home from work twice as the wipers couldn't keep up. Still didn't get my lightning shot yet though. Rats! Quote
RangerBob Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Fortunately it cleared up enough to head down to the river though. A few did - Paulf, DipperDan, Dave, and unknown. We just formed a "Peanut Gallery" up top on the bridge and heckled... kinda like AK2005. Quote
RangerBob Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 So while they"fished", me and Scratch taunted them from above for a bit then wandered off to go find my Geocache nearby (what we came down for). A great evening... except for the bugs. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...c2-c253e1dc1f13 Also found this one. There are lots more in the area now too. Bring your GPS next time. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...c2-c253e1dc1f13 Quote

I tried to see if anyone was down there... but I saw noone.... according to the pics there were few... .how did you guys do?From the Beverly Bridge, they looked like pylons. Speaking of "pile ons" near had one coming back from GC'in when a trailer ramp fell off a truck on the bridge in the lane next to us. We (or someone else) mighta come close to joining the guys below in the river. Not a good scene. Oh how I love Google Earth with the GPS option.

albertabowhunter Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 pilons? Most likely and doing 110k makes it hard to get a real good look.... ....what was on the truck that almost got ya? Quote
RangerBob Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 ....what was on the truck that almost got ya?Uh, trailer ramps you use to drive heavy equipment onto back of truck. Sorry, no photos taken... I (we) was (were) busy screaming like little girls squatting down at the "Bat Cave". Quote

dave robinson Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 The picket fence was 0 for when I left about 9pm. Dan and Paul had a few tentative bumps but no solid hookups. I didn't even get a snif. The river is still about a foot too high to wade out far enough to easily reach the uisual seams. All that water has scoured out the river though. Former mudhole areas are now solid gravel. No danger of losing a boot to the muck. Fish are probably in different lies now, so wait a week or two. Not a complete waste of a trip though. Spent about 20 minuted picking saskatoons Got about a quart of dark ripe ones. Had I been about 3 ft taller I coulda picked a galoon. Tasted great with ice cream. Quote
albertabowhunter Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Still didn't get my lightning shot yet though. Rats! Lightning.... well you better get outside... cause you couldn't miss tonight.... If ya try good luck.... and dont get ZZZZZZzzzzzAPPED! Quote

I was already on it.. had to pry myself away from Jessica Simpson on my 20" monitor though to do it (it was a tough call). Exposure Info Here: http://www.flickr.com/photo_exif.gne?id=27506260 More being uploaded to Flickr now. Heh heh, a house got stuck nearby.. fire dept. came out too. Nuhice one. Quote
RangerBob Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Scratch got some fine shots tonight too I see. K.. must sleep now. http://www.flickr.com/photos/scratch/27508823/ Quote
Paulf Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 ...just so as everyone knows, when Dan and I left, the water level has risen at least 8 - 10 inches...there was this rock along the edge of the river that was completely out of the water and it is now totally submerged... ...as Dave said, no more mud, solid rock/gravel bed... ...fun just to be out casting in moving waters again... paulf Quote
albertabowhunter Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Congrats on the Lightning shots.... You couldn't miss last night re: river rising.... Do you figure it was from the rain? Or do think they opened the dam up stream??? later Quote
