you forgot the Sherpas to carry all the gear and beer.
Yes we call them pickup trucks :-)
Hey Marc, Thanks for the excellent list of "essentials" I call them. I cannot count the number of times I've made that list. I like the fact that you have the reader in mind here. Very cool. I would like to add two small items to the list if I may. A pen and a little notebook. I like to take quick little notes while I'm out fishing which helps me in two ways. The first is It increases my catch ratio the next time I fish, and the second is it gives me some content to write about when I get home. Thanks for the great list. I look forward to fishing with you soon. Mike.
Good idea, I'll add them to the list. I'll be in Calgary this summer probably, if I do go it will be for business but I will add three days to the trip for some fishing - also I'll go up to Banff for a day trip.
