I think you are referencing the "Amero". Someone had sent a video to me a while back that was made to scare, but I think it's mostly a hoax. Here is one of the youtube videos. People talking about having "V-Chips" implnated..... Click here if the movie does not play. There is a company out there who produces novelty Amero coins. http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/amero.asp It's insane just how fast things are chaning. It's scary really. I never thought I would see the Canadian dollar sitting at 1.10US.

I use for mixing feathers and dubbing into dubbing loops. It's great for taking 2 different coloured feathers and effectivly combining them into one. If you seen Marc tying at the show last year, you would have seen it being used in several different ways. I use it to remove the skin from rabbit zonkers as well to slim down some of my leech patterns. It's a good tool IMHO, but it's not something for everyone.

You can also find small corks at craft shops. I've used them to mount some flies before.

If you have been getting some inferior products, write the manufacturer. They might not be aware of the problem or it may be old stock in the shop. I've had some bad product in the past and written them. I had it replaced free of charge.

It's still really early and it's anyone's game, but you are looking good where you sit in the standings. I'll be giving the top 3 finishers a share of flies. So, here is this weeks results.

Snowshoe Rabbit foot has some natural waterproffing in it and makes a good material for dries. I haven't used the underfur of bears for dries, but I have used it on lots of wets. I'm not sure it would stay boyant all that long. It does create a lot of room to trap air bubbles in, so it may float for a few casts. Black and Brown bear is pretty easy to get, so give those a try. Would Grizzly be that much different from those? The best hairs for floating flies are Deer Belly Hair, Elk Hair, Caribou, Moose and Deer Hair.

Streamers always look good framed up. You don't need to tie huge ones, but even a mickey Finn onder glass looks nice. Ikea has some good frames for flies. I've always had a hard time finding just the right box. You might want to talk to Glen (glenbow) about some of the shadow boxes he has. He has a pretty good selection and I think he even has some Devlin originals framed up somewhere.

The Magic tool is great. Also look at getting a turbo dubbing spinner and make long cdc dubbing ropes up ahead of time and have them ready to use.

Week 4 results

Hook: Mustad 94840 #14 Thread: Light Olive Tail: Pale green antron Middle section of body: Fluorescent Pink Floss (middle 1/3) body- light olive ice dubbing. Dubbed lightly over hotspot mid-wing: bleached deer hair wing tied over mid point Will pm Kungfool for to be the next victim.

lol Sweet.

Ya, that giant fish looks pretty tiny in his hands. Grats dude.

Depending on your browser and version, it might explain the problem you are having with being kept logged in.

Also note that the Atlantics don't always die and that they may spawn several times over their life. A lot of the salmon I have seen spend a lot of energy to get to the right spawning grounds. So much that they are pretty much dead by the time they get there. It's hard work swimming upstream in 4 inches of water. In rainbows (steelhead) they need to spawn and release their eggs / sperm or they can get eggbound. I've been told that this shorten's their life if they can't release. Part of the reason that some lakes in BC have installed spawning channels is to help the fish live longer / grow larger. Perhaps a biologist can better explain the reasons.

Nice slabs guys.

Week 3 results.

12 flies, and they don't have to be the same thing. It's probbly better if they are different patterns. It looks like you may be getting back the lions share LS.

Awesome report Greg. Glad to see the trout bum gods smiled down upon you and sent some chrome your way.

The best colour of Diamond dub is the Bronze Olive. If you can find it, you'll really like it.

Stand further back and practice your aim at the same time. Really, that is cool and I'm putting it on my Christmas list.

I wonder how those taste? Looks like they are all meat.

Sounds likre they are defective bobbins. Are they the cheaper indian ones? I know they had some problems with production a while back and lots were recalled. tyeh used a ceramic that was too pourus and like you said, 2-3 wraps and the thread was toast. Take them back from where you bought them and get replacements.

I use cearmin for 6/0 and smaller and SS for larger threads, wools and such. My crappy bobbins get used for lead and wire.

Sweet catch Glen. I aspire to someday catch a lota lota on the fly.

Umm brag...why..... Here are the stats for week 2. You could probably guess who's at the top right now. lol Here is a look at the standings after 2 weeks. congrats Grevelman, your Toronto strategy seems to be working out well for you.
