Hubbies latest fishing day at Lake Isle near us.

Wow look at the size of that fish - my other half can't wait to go fishing when we get over there - is that place anywhere near Calgary at all and do you need a fishing licence? Oh, and do you have to be careful of the local wildlife creeping up on you at all (I couldn't let him go if there was any threat of him being eaten by a bear/coyote)!

They a wonderful photos we'll definately have to make the trip there.

Our recent trip to Ontario resulted in my getting this lovely sunset photo of Lake Huron at Grand Bend.

Sadly it is not always like this. A young girl drowned there on Wednesday in 1-metre high waves.

Peyto Lake, Banff National Park.

Emerald Lake, Yoho National Park, British Columbia

That's a fabulous photo! Really shows all the detail and the composition/colours are great.

Near Calgary? No, about a 4 hour drive.

The good news is that there is plenty of good fishing near Calgary. The Bow river for example. And it runs right throught the centre of town.

Fishing licence? Yes, you need one. And read up on all the regulations. It seems every lake and river has different rules. Even different parts of the same river can have different rules. Check out the regulations:

Its always good to be carefull of local wildlife. Even in the city there have been reports of cougars in the last month or so. We had a coyote living in out neighbourhood last spring and we're only 5 miles from downtown.

What camera are you using Steve?

My trusty "getting old now, almost four years" Canon Digital Rebel/300D

The Emerald Lake and Mount Rundle shots are panorama composites of multiple shots stitched together.

No its abit far for you!!! yes you need a fishing licence costs about $50 for the year I think! We have had no trouble with wildlife yet... which hubbie is upset about! ha ha!!! lol!!! Just hear the coyotes. That lake on the pic, if the pike is less than 2ft long you have to put it back.

Here goes with a couple from our Alberta album

1) Lake Louise seen from the hiking trail up to the Beehive
2) downtown Calgary seen from the South (hill near Elbow river)
