  1. Ed is a great guy, so is Randy (Another advocate of Liquid Lace) I make a point of watching them tie up flies at the Calgary show every year. Randy does some incredible golden stones with the product. I use a 29 gauge needle for all my Liquid lace, and don't find it too messy. You do really need to fill them to get the best effect. Using tinsel and some markers, you can create some killer flies. A few years ago, we even did some experimenting with glow in the dark materials being injected into the lace. Lots of fun.
  2. Awesome. Can't wait to do the same in a few years.
  3. At least I don't have to get up to feed him.
  4. Lots and lots of Chironomids and bloodworms. Dragon fly nymphs, leeches and a few scuds. A good book to tie from is Phil Rowley's Patterns for Stillwater. Lots of great Kamloops patterns inside.
  5. About 50 bucks but I'm guess they were asking about 90
  6. You could tie up some minkie's http://www.danica.com/flytier/mwestbeek/oostvoorne_minky.htm
  7. It's set up as a forced skin on the NFR board. If you visit this part of the site, you'll get the new shin for now. Once we make the full change, you'll be able to select the skin. I'm testing in IE / Chrome / Mozilla firefox and safari. If you notice any bugs, let me know.
  8. Thanks for the comments guys. Keep them coming. For those who don't like the "new" look, there is always the option of choosing the old skin. If you want to change to the new skin completely, scroll down to the bottom of the page and switch the dropdown menu beside the orange RSS button. The old one is called IPB default and the new is BMG_FORUMSET_09. I think we'll be making a change to the names though.
  9. Congrats. It's fun going back to school when you are a bit older. You get to be the wise old man for a while.

    Last Few Days

    Great Fish! Certainly one to tell the grand kids about in 40 years.
  11. Sweet fish!
  12. Slits and ripples... That sounds a bit dirty.
  13. I've done lots of pikin' from a tube, but mostly smaller ones, 20-30 inches. Larger than that can be tricky. I'm always scared they are gonna "jaws" me when they get over 40"
  14. Cool! That's a nice looking rainbow.
  15. Thanks for the great story Rick. I went out fishing this week with my father in law and he would have none of this sunscreen nonsense... It was +30 here and he now looks like a lobster.
  16. Have a good one, but I thought that your birthday must have been April 20th...
  17. Externals are dirt cheap now. You can get a terebyte for a couple hundred bucks with multiple drives. Hard drives have a short life span 1-5 years, so back up. If you are comfortable opening up the PC and running it, you should be able to pinpoint the cause of the noise fairly quick. If you know what exactly the problem is, the phone call should go quicker. If you have to send your PC away, be sure it's backed up. I had a friend who had a Dell and they sent back a newly formated HD. He was a bit upset.
  18. Great looking snot rocket! They are a lot of fun to target. 10 in a day is a decent day too. Looks like a good lake for them.
  19. Call in fishing today. Hope you have a good one.
  20. Most likely a fan (cpu, video or power supply) or the hard disk. Fans seems to go pretty fast.
  21. The 2009 auction is live and can be found here - http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?showtopic=8353
  22. Up ya, but it's all your fault for sharing the link in the first place....
