Just a thought but possible going to a wooden oar would make a difference for u as the deflection in the oars themselves would give a little more power to move the boat. Match older tech with older tech. I built some wood oars for myself and they preform ands down better with my boat.

Home Depot sells a product call xylene it is more powerful thank lacquer thinner be very careful with it but it will remove anything as well as melt rubber if u leave it too long. Good luck

It is a long road ahead. I started my dog at about 8 weeks at the river and keep him on the shore out of the water. Easy till he learned he liked water. A lot. He's a lab. Now his rule is he does not pass me. Also You have to remember that they are just as excited to be out on the river as u at so tough love and some understanding are needed. One other Tip would be to get a 20' lead and attach to your waist to help him learn where u want him to stay.

Looking at city boundary map u should still be able launch at pOlicemans flats.

If it is mounted on the side it is just a ball bearing slide ( accuride is one brand name) can be found at Home Depot they are full extension slides. Usually $20 a pair. If it is mounted to bottom of drawer it is a blum blumotion slide and can be purchased from lee valley or Multiwood. Pm if u want more info

I think the show was good this year. I believe that part of the issues on companies missing is that the international fly fishing show in Denver was this weekend too and that probably pulled more companies.

Not really a brand loyal guy when it comes to tire but for winter driving if u want traction studded is the only way to go. I will maybe use 4x4 a couple times a winter. The other 99% of the time u just need studs. Not to mention helps u to stop on ice.

Your best option for removing would be mineral spirits. Will not affect finish and works quite well. I am a carpenter and do a lot of spraying finishes as well. Just some background.

If u look up closures on Alberta.ca the rivers are open except for one St. Mary I belive

Dewinton animal hospital. Have taken my dog to a few different vets and been screwed around. Too him here and I go in with a problem he comes out with proper meds and I don't have to go back for the same issue.

Just about had a heart attach then I finished reading. Nice one.

Beautiful reel

That sucks have u guys called the pawn shops in town. To see if they have seen any one trying to sell the stuff

I have delt with the new loop canada dealers a couple times now and they have been nothing but awesome to deal with. Much better than the previous distributor. I found that they responded best by email. I would contact them and see if they can help u with loop Sweden. Best of luck The multi series has been discontinued and is now the xact line and they are nice casting rods.

I have not built the eternity. However I built the rain shadow switch 5wt. It is an extremely slow action rod. Just a heads up.
