Well, I am just going to throw a small introduction into the fly fishing season with a bit of a welcome to the folks that have been waiting for me to get on with it. I have been itching all year to get on the water, kick around in my Fish Cat or just walk a bank at a local trout pond. This spring - fall I will hit topics such as fly selection, patterns, and try and target as many different

Well, here we are at the end of another ice season for most anglers, as for me it stops here as well. There were some good ice days and some not so good then ya run into some of the best fishing one can experience. I would just like to thank my brother Tyler and father Stuart for assisting me on the ice this season as well as the sponsors that have helped out along the way. Here is my highlight

Northern Pike fishing through the ice is sometimes thought to be an easy task, something that anyone can do but it isn't always the case. There are days that the flag just will not spring no matter what a do or what depth you have it set but when you do get on them, boy... it is well worth the wait.Here in Alberta we aren't fortunate enough to use live bait such as suckers or fatheads we are

In Depth Outdoors has caught my attention about a year ago and since that day I have been absolutely addicted to their video production. It is informative, exciting and James will get you on some big fish! It is nice to see guys showing, and explaining "In Depth" what is going on. Check out this video from them, Tip Up Tips, you will not be disappointed.

Another season is done... hunting has come to and end and most local lakes are froze over enough to get a vehicle on and start getting mobile. This time of year, is the time of year that I get a little stir crazy and start to loose my mind a bit, in a good way I like to think. Ice Fishing. Those two words can do more to my soul that most woman, I cant even deny it. There is just something about

It has been quite some time since I have posted on here last so I thought I would write about something that has opened my eyes a bit this past week of hunting. It is simple, and everyone hears about it or sees it on hunting networks across North America, deer management. Our good buddy's down in Texas do this consistently managing does and bucks to keep a healthy herd. Up here in Alberta, we

It has been awhile since Ive posted on here so I thought I would take some time on this rainy sunday to write a bit...Here in Alberta, our hunting draws have to be in for June 25th which means for the first time since the last day of the '08 season we are forced (not like it takes much) to think about the upcoming fall. So, I looked at my draw priorities and talked with the partners to see what

Well, the title say's it all. Being a so called 'redneck' is a popular thing to be in today's world, isn't it? I don't understand why... I mean, on popular hunting/fishing networks ya can't help but read 'Redneck for life', 'Fell in love with a Redneck', 'Proud to be a Redneck' and Redneck, Redneck, Redneck.I find that it is a popular, and rewarding thing to have this on profile names, titles,

As most of you know, it is our fathers who have introduced us to the outdoors at an early age and now for some it's mom, or woman just wanting to get involved but no matter who or how, your birth into the outdoors will be your most memorable time of your life.I find that of all the groups out there in this world today, outdoorsman have a different bond with each other than almost any and are far

Well, ya didn't have to wait long to get part 2 of the Dollar Store flies. I snapped a few pictures of materials and a few flies that I have tied. There are only 3 flies, I apologize, but I can't give away all my secrets now can I? haha.Well, here is a good selection of beads that you can buy at most dollar stores in their craft section. These beads are a clear outer, and colored on the inside.

Man... what a horrible disease isn't it? It is sick to see a deer stumbling around because it's brain is malfunctioning and in turn the animal is dieing. It is amazing that they manage to live that long in Alberta with our vast amount of predators.Correct me if I'm wrong but is the disease not the outcome of too many animals being bred together (family) and is it not the same thing as what goes

Let me start this off by saying this, you don't need top dollar products to tie flies. There are plenty of cool materials that you can pick up from a dollar store or the local halloween shop and that is what I am going to talk about this time around.It seems like tyer's don't like admitting that they are buying cheap materials from places other than a fly shop, why? I have no clue but there is

Alright folks,On the Xtremely Alberta Outdoors website we are having an ice fishing picture contest and the winner gets two predator series Teaser Leaders.The teaser leaders are amazingly effective for ice fishing on a dead line such as a tip-up, dead rod but can also be vertically jigged or trolled to help entice the bite. The leaders were designed to mimic schooling baitfish from a distance and

Well, I tend to believe that I am not the first car in the blogging train as this 'blogging' has become quite popular for the average individual to speak out what they want heard and for that reason I think it can be a great tool, especially to us outdoors men(woman).I started up a website called Xtremely Alberta Outdoors and its primary focus was to educate the average folk, like myself, on what
