Edmonton long weekend...

Looks like we'll be in edmonton for the long weekend in September. Should be busy with west ed mall et al, but thought I might hit twin on the way in to town on saturday (after little jim shamed me back into diving yesterday).

<<Warning: it's been eight months since i've had fins on, I plan to suck, a lot>>

Sounds good James. We should get everyone together. Erik, haven't been diving with you for a while - need too. JP we need to hear about your coast trip. I just finished a week of hiking in Kananaskis and visited a remote high altitude lake with an isolated cutthroat trout population and excellent vis. I wish I had had my dive gear and will visit again some time. I am still in Calgary and plan to dive tomorrow morning in Minnewanka...anyone available?

In high altitude lakes the fish take a long time to grow so remember it easy to make a dent in the population.

Don't worry, the wetsuit will keep you warm, even if it snows

Good times at Twin with Paul and Lee! Huge perch! I saw at least 10,000 perch, some pushing 1lb, and probably 2000 jackfish, from a few ounces up to 8 or 9 lbs!
Learned a new stalking technique with the perch too

Had a good morning dive with Erik and Paul at Twin. James D, I hope we didn't miss you at the lake. We assumed that you hadn't come up.

He went to the largest concentrations of submarines in Canada: WEM.
