It reminds me of a CDC and Elk. I'd be up for tying a few to give them a go. I haven't seen any straggle fritz being sold here in Canada yet, but I suppose that you could possibly use some thinned out Tri-Lobal hackle or trimmed down ice chenille. Looks like a killer.

That is a sweet fly. I love fishing Boatmen and backswimmers in the fall. Do you weigth them or fishing them on a sink line at all? I've fished a floating boatman tied with foam on a quick sinking line and it works great.

It does happen from time to time. It's a glitch in the software. It takes a fix on the server side DB to fix it. It has something to do with the PM pop-ups. I'll run a DB command to clean it up soon.

Wrongs, just send me the text and Images, I'll take care of getting it posted to the site and linked up. I have a template set up for the site already.

Awesome. I've got most of your pick already. Just PM me your picks when you are ready.

Great pics. I love the crows.

Awesome. Thanks for sending in your pics.

Any more takers? Picks are due by Sept 30th.

Your in. I have a few people's picks already. That's great. Send them in as soon as you can.

I've caught lots from shore. You just need to be patient and you'll get a few. I don't think there are any trout in the pond, just the Grayling and a couple species of minnows. If you throw a big weighted wooly bugger, you might have some luck as well.

Very nice football.

Cool, it looks like we'll have a good pool of flies up for grabs.

Last time out at wedge, they were slurping on tiny #24 black midges. I was also getting them on silkworms and other Chironomids. They are one of my favourite fish to target, and Wedge has some beauties stocked in it. Here is some more info on the Grayling.

No minimums for each position. No Draft either, to keep things somewhat simple. Brent, I have your picks. - Thanks

You will need to send me your picks and I will add them before the season starts.

1. What else will I need to purchase besides the boat? A few things. Fins to get around in the water. Waders if you don't have them already. A double action pump - 10 buck @ WM. An anchor is nice to have to keep you stationary. 2. Is this thing easy to inflate and deflate so I can pack it in my Civic? You shouldn't have any issues with a floattube. Use the double action pump and you can inflate it in about 2 minutes. 3. Is a life jacket mandatory? Advisable? I'm not sure about manditory, but it is advisable. Remember that you are going into deep water, and if something goes wrong, you want to be prepared. You can get CO2 Inflatable PFD's for a about 100 bucks. They are fairly flat until you need them and inflate with a little co2 cartridge. 4. Can you give me a ballpark figure on total cost? The tube would run anywhere between 150 - 400 depending on the quality and features you want. Fin will run about 60 bucks. Tubes are great to start out in. Have fun.

password for now is flyflicker to see stats.

No Cost. I'm covering the set-up fee. Thanks guys, I'll add you all.

If you want to make it easy, pick up one of the Glenbow Flyfishing selections. They cover what you need well with a selection of streamers, dries and nymphs. http://www.glenbowflyfishing.com/products.html What flies did you end up with?

Well, it pretty easy. You just need to pick the 15 players you think will score the most points for you. ( Here is a site that can give you some names based on last years results http://rapids.canoe.ca/cgi-bin/playerinfo/nhlstats) Everyone else will also pick 15 players. Pick a mix of defence, Forwards and Goalies as they all get scored differently. Goalies get points for saves (0.1) and defence get more points for a gaol than forwards etc... If you tie flies, you can join the side bet we have going. You may win a nice selection of flies for next summer. The person with the most points at the end of the regular season will get bragging rights, and we'll likely send them a few goodies too. If you have any other questions, ask away.

Cool, you have been added - Come on guys, there must be a few more hockey fans out there.

Nice one buddy.

Are you in Rocknbugs?

You don't wanna know how much I spend on materials hooks and vices. The FT Bible is a good one to start out on though. It has a nice selection of nymphs and streamers. Keep in mind it's written by a UK angler, so a lot of the pattern have a bit of a UK bias to them. They will still most definitely work here though. Welcome to the dark corner of fly fishing.

It's almost time for the 2007-2008 NHL season to begin. If your interested in starting a pool of some sort, let me know. If we get some interest in this, I'll start up a fantasy league or pool. Last year we had 10 people take part, and we'd love to see more get involved. The pool is for both the Fly Fish Calgary and the Fly Angler sites. We will have a side bet of flies for those who want to. Just tie a dozen flies, your choice of patterns, and the top finisher will get 50% of the flies and the second spot will receive 30% and the 3rd spot will get 20%.( this may change depending on the interest it gets) This is optional, but if you don't submit flies, you won't be eligible to receive them either. I will cover the set-up fee for the pool, but if you wish to help out with the cost, or send a extra fly or 2 it is appreciated. I will also take any donations of flies for the Casting For Recovery program. I will send you a PM with the details for logging into the site that is hosting the pool. You will be able to choose 15 players in any combination you wish. Points will be assigned for goals, asssists, shots on net, saves, etc. Officepools.com Log in: flyangler Pass: flyflicker If your in reply with I'm In. I'm In. Who's Taking Part. 1. Pacres - Tying 2.
