Awesome stuff dude! We'll have to come up there this summer and join you. How do you like the T-20 compared to your old gun?

Re: Opening weekend in saskatchewan

Well I just clean them and my wife does the rest, but BBQ in foil with butter, garlic, chili peppers is great. Not too many bones, easy to clean, and legal targets for us here in Alta.

Re: Opening weekend in saskatchewan

Better question is 'What can't we shoot?"
We can't shoot Trout, Jack, Walleye and a few others. Legally.
That leaves Perch, Ling Cod, Lake Whitefish, Suckers.

http://www.albertaoutdoorsmen.ca/fishingregs/ under 'Province-Wide Regulations:

A special licence for spearfishing is not required. Spearfishing is allowed under the Alberta Sportfishing Licence.

Only spears propelled by spring, elastic, compressed gas or muscular power are permitted.
Only persons who are swimming may spearfish.
Spears cannot be used to take trout, mountain whitefish, Arctic grayling, lake sturgeon, walleye or northern pike.
Spearfishing is not permitted in Gods, May, Seibert, Winefred, Andrew, Gardiner and Namur lakes.



Peace,
Erik Y.

Re: Opening weekend in saskatchewan

central opening weekend was awesome hit a little trout lake (normal fishing) and i did some target practice with my gun and i got the hang of it. then on our way home for the weekend we stopped at a dam we always check and there were pike every where and we had no gear with us so we drove 40 km back up north to get it. got in the water at 8:45 with the sun setting. got 2 pike one was a kill shot and the other through the gills. could of shot so many others but i was practising stalking and getting good shots. there are some photos added to my site http://www.piczo.com/messeyproductions?g=3161525&cr=6

ya james when i move back we will have to do something. i would come to the pool with you guys forsure. right now my buddy and i hit the pool once a week.
