Oh poo poo on the Elk!
That $20/day thing still burns me up!!
We have waters down here that are pound for ound every dang bit as good as the Elk, or St.Mary's, Or Michelle! I know this personally and have fished all of them. I often wonder why people go all that way to fish? Is it the granola, fancy latte shee shee foo foo yuppy resort atmosphere?
Fernie does do a smashing job at welcoming upper middle class tourists. I will readily admit that. but if your out for lots of fish, not lots of people... then we got ya beat (unless ya get passed kookanusa and fish plumbob, bloom, gold or any of them otherway back ones).
It seems to me that either we albertans do a real poor job of letting people know this, or we're not as commercialized as Fernie/BC and we just don;t wanna tell and keep it to ourselves....
we seem to be doing that pretty good.
Sorry.. didn;t mean to slam your trip. the elk is very very very good fishing! You sure went at a good time!
Try to go for the running of the Bulls next time... its something else. I'm just still bitter about the $20/day thing.
Which is probablty what we should do as well I guess.... if the $$ could go to somewhere other than general gov't revenue.
