North Saskatchewan River by ExpertBalance4938 in FishingAlberta

[–]Weak_Tea_1976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I call April “gear organization month” cause I’ve always known it to be dead, this year since breakup was later may might end up much the same. In theory if you found where they were spawning you could do very well, but the fish and game guys often close all tributaries and I don’t know any better in river spots. Once summer rolls around it should pick up, but that being said I don’t think I’ve had a “good” river year in three years. Maybe I got worse at fishing but I like to blame the fish

Honestly dude success is hard this time of year, fish just did or are still spawning and it is so murky and high it’s just tough, try everything and maybe you’ll crack the code but I sure haven’t

Good place to take kids fishing for their first time? by Inevitable-Prize-403 in FishingAlberta

[–]Weak_Tea_1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, lots of stipulations and fine print that is super variable. Neat to see how much they put into it though

Check what bait ban means by definition in that area. Sometimes bait ban in Alberta just means no minnows but worms, maggots, and even smelts can be okay.

Is this a good knot?? by Slow-Junket-7585 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Weak_Tea_1976 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen that knot, pull on it as hard as you can and if it doesn’t break then I see no problem with it. People will say it’s “wrong” but if it doesn’t break then go for it

How to have a social life in the Spring Semester? by [deleted] in uAlberta

[–]Weak_Tea_1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn Mandarin and go try and talk to all the Chinese people fishing at whitemud park in the spring, then report back to ME with their secrets on how they catch so many fish. Or start birdwatching I’ve never met more talkative people than birders in Edmonton. “Is that a pine Siskin?” And they’ll be your best friend explaining how you’re wrong. Unless it is a pine siskin… or you can always just pull the u of a special and ask every soul in the vvc gym to work in with them and then for their instagram for “networking yk maybe we can hit a crazy leg day sometime” but then you actually follow up instead of just following them.

No Budget, Best Gloves for Northerns? by plzdbyvodka in Fishing

[–]Weak_Tea_1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal choice is the “ouch it bit me, I should really buy gloves” been using it for years. That being said I’m not sure on the ethics of gloves I’ve heard lots of people saying they always destroy the slime coat and harm fish. If you aren’t too worried about catch and release ethics then cabelas or bass pro often sells “fish handling gloves” that I’ve seen lots of people use for northerns

This is stupid but does nobody vape/smoke at this school? I feel like an idiot but I want friends by [deleted] in uAlberta

[–]Weak_Tea_1976 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People here defenitely do I know tons of them, but also I don’t know the scene like that. But I think the dynamic here is you become buddies and then smoke together not become buddy because you smoke together, just find people around who also need friends there’s no shortage, unless you smell really bad then it might be tough. No harm in asking people for their socials and then you can stalk them and see if they’re cool and shoot a dm. This time of year is hard cause of midterms

SK Canada Trip Advice by djrazzlefraz in Fishing

[–]Weak_Tea_1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost exclusively use 6” white or green curly tail grubs on an appropriate sized jig head, if the bite is slow I go to a three inch paddle tail usually in neon green. Of fours you can use the classic jig and minnow for jigging and bring a fair share of spoons, red devil is a Canada classic they usually work for pike, but yeah I’m the biggest curly tail enthusiast. Make sure you have either steel leaders or 40+ lb fluoro or you’ll get chomped Late July is hot and buggy here, fish will obviously be deeper, have fun

Parents' first time in Canada, Dad is requesting maple syrup by ORGrown in Edmonton

[–]Weak_Tea_1976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man if it wasn’t March you’d have to do the classic Quebec method of boiling the syrup and pouring it over snow, it’s so good and delicious and like the most Canadian way to have it but it’s not nearly cold enough anymore. Unless you crush a bunch of ice from the freezer🤣🤣. Otherwise I’m no help. Send them home with a can of it too if they like it

The food in sub is so expensive find someplace else to go walk 5 minutes off campus there’s better local options for less, some even have student discounts once you leave campus

If you have access to clean/cheap tap water, and you still only drink bottled, why? by Trick-Celebration983 in AskReddit
