If there is anyone who has some good information about the fishing in the Calgary area I would love some advice. It looks like my job will be moving me to Calgary in about a month. I found that the Bow River runs right through and is known for big trout. Any good lakes aroun this area?

You should also try Fellows Lake just north of Springfield. When they shocked it, there was a large number of 35" and up muskie. Most people catch them when bass fishing.

If you never drifted 4 catfish All you need Is a little bit of wind Big crappy hook and enough split shot good keep it on the bottom. yourself some fresh shad and thread it on the hook. Now I know what I am doing wrong. I need to use "crappy" hooks instead of those sharp ones. These the same used when rigging kids? Great info plus a chuckle.

Want fries with that?

What's next? Guided hunts at the DFW zoo? They did mention in that link their lodge has a fully stocked bar. Now the pieces are starting to come together. I think Tom Arnold will be hosting their new show.

Nice one! What did you catch him on?

Noticed in the video he was fishing out of a float tube. I thought you could not put these in Lake Springfield.

WWay to go! Nothing like catching a fish on the first cast! Makes the rest of the day more enjoyable. Nice first cat.

here ya go... http://www.wormonahook.com/502/what-are-the-black-dots-in-the-flesh-of-some-smallmouth-bass/

From some of the things I read it is pretty common.

No kidding! After I read the article I could not believe people would eat these. I for one would not keep or eat any smallie.

I Google this and found several articles. The dots are parasites. The fish you caught are smallies. This is one article I found.... What are the black dots in the flesh of some Smallmouth Bass?lighthouse_lover92 says: November 5, 2008 at 12:43 am The parasites that are on the bass are right under the skin not in the meat. We have caught and eaten the fish. Just make sure that you remove the parasites first. If there are a few hundred on them I wouldn’t eat them, but if there are one or two you should be ok. I live in Pa and our smallmouth bass have the same problem just not as bad. David K says: November 7, 2008 at 6:40 am Fish are subject to a variety of maladies, such as grubs or worms, which may be found in or on the skin, attached to gills, or embedded in the flesh. Although aesthetically displeasing, none of these parasites presents a threat to human health provided the fish is thoroughly cooked before it is eaten.

Thanks. I found some deep holes when I took the kids out there to cool off in the creek. I love those small river smallest. Great info... thanks

Does anyone know if Bear creek is worth fishing. It is that crystal clear water that runs out by Tanneyville and Forsyth. Took the kids out there and saw what looked like small trout hitting the surface. Any info about this area would be great.
