Wow, the is a heavy fine.

I came across this on the Springbrook / Temple Fork Outfitters website, top right corner says: Now Hiring. http://www.springbrook.ca/pages/NowHiring.html Looks like they've got a job opening. Wouldn't it be great to work for a fly fishing equipment manufacturer? I used to work for a fly tying manufacturer and it was a blast. Wish I lived in Calgary, but I don't....

Huge improvement over the first. Tail is a great length, taper the body a bit more. A bit spikeyer (sp?) dubbing would give it a better look overall, either a hare's blend or straight off the mask. Nice small head. Did you tie in the wing case over the eye and finish behind the thorax?

I use about 2/5 shank length for the tail and about 1/2 or a bit longer, shank length for the wings (white).

Happy Birthday Birch.

What if Saskwatch played hockey? That would really hi-jack a thread.

Lucky for you there is more LS. Part 2 Part 3

Karma irony or both. lol

I don't think you should be disclosing specific locations. I mean, you can use some discretion, but telling people you caught x number of fish, and including GPS coords and such just makes your spot a crowded one. Back when I lived in Edmonton, we used to post our trips in more detail and watched as our quiet spots turned into crowded waters. Even the newspaper columnists picked up on our trips and started publishing the what and where. With the amount of growth the city sees, it's inevitable that the number of people on the water will grow. With that, I think it's important to have an increased presence of CO's that can check for licenses and limits etc. One big comment I have got from people who come from locations with established etiquette comment on the lack of it on Alberta streams. I hear it on here all the time as well. People crowding out other anglers, crossing lines etc... It makes for a frustrating experience when it doesn't have to. I don't recall if there is anything written in the regs but there should be.

I hope that you kept these and they weren't C&R fish. You can do a lot of damage to them if you handle them like that. Nice fish none the less. Stressed Fish and a proper release

That's sexy. Tube?

Happy Birthday!

Sweet brown!

Thanks for passing along the good experience. It's nice to see companies taking care of their customers by going beyond what is expected.

any idea if he kept his data on a seperate drive from his operating system? If you keep all you data files on a seperate drive, say d:/ where the operating system is on c:/ (could be the same disk) then if you reinstall to c:/ you should still have all your data files. He could also put the hard drive in the freezer for a few hours and try to reboot. It can help sometimes, just long enough to get the drive booted and get off your data.

The upgrades on the server have been completed. There were a few messages (about 100) that did not carry over from site, as well as a few private messages.

Those look uber sweet with the reds. Nice tie RnB

Nice, where did you pick it up? One of the guys on teh flyangler board is looking for a dealer. (Edmonton)

Cool vid. Nice action on that fly from the looks of it.

I do tie some basic featherwings and hairwings but as far as the classics go like the Blackers and Chidders, It'll be a while. That being said, if you are looking to get into tying some of those, you may want to pick up some of the feathers right now before they are unaffordable. At 15.00$ per feather, Indian Crow is getting more and more out of reach. I did see a pelt sell for just over 5000.00. I'm sure If I ever get serious about it, I'll be using mostly subs.

Here are a couple I tied up with the stretch floss. One package will tie a couple hundred flies. Change the thread colour to lighten or darken the red.

Red stretch floss is good for these types of .... sanJuanomids. I use it on my Sn Cone patterns and it gives you a smooth base and it tapers nicely by adjusting the tension you have on the materials. You can also put some red holographic tinsel underneath to give it a bump.

The re-tie looks pretty sweet. If you have some read silver lined glass beads, stick one behind the cone.
