Nice, almost looks like a pink salmon.

Go for some buffalo Ribeye if you can find it. Use a really high heat to sear the steaks. and leave the salt until afterwards (It draws out the moisture) A grill full of these big bad ass streaks, some garlic mash, asparagus and chard.... Sounds a whole lot better then turkey, gonna have to rethink christmas dinner this year.

Just in from my buddy Ranger Bob! "Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by. Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard."

Thanks for the reminder Brian. Much appreciated.

Agreed, I didn't catch the whole debate, but what I did get to listen to was great. More to think about.

He was a really unique guy with an off the wall sense of humor. Jack was wacky.

Oh no! Wow, that's sad. Thanks SD.

Sweet fly! Love the combination of color.

lol Nice.

Check out this link, 40 top vids of 2009 (lots of indie rep) Remember when videos used to play on TV? http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/...videos-of-2009/

Good idea Dune. Not sure how indie you wanna go, but here is some stuff I'm digging ATM. You say party We say die! Click here if the movie does not play. The Mountains and the Trees Magneta Lane - Lady Bones Click here if the movie does not play. Shout Out Out Out Out - Remind Me in Dark Times Islands - No You Don't Click here if the movie does not play.

My suggestion would be to use Arctic fox in the tail. It'll keep most of the action of the marabou, but will stand-up much better against teeth. For the wing, icelandic sheep or even Yak hair is a good material. I would lean towards the sheep hair as the Yak can be slippery and pull out if it isn't secured really well. Superfly has a new hair called SuperFiber that would work well on this pattern as well. What ever you use, just add a couple strands of pearl flash over top and in the wing.

Wow, great video.

Thanks everyone I didn't get to wet a line today, but I did get a nice new line for my 2wt. Can't wait to use that.

That is cool. Some unreal pics on the site. I think I have seen this guy on Daily Planet a while back as well.

I tie mine on egg hooks (Mustad Sig. C67S). Pretty much all my flies I now tie on a curved shank hook with the exception of streamers. I use a small hook and dangle the chenille over the front and back.

The loops are cool. I really hate re-rigging multi-fly set-ups, and tend to fish flies longer than I really want to because of it. I'm gonna try that on a few Chironomid patterns I think. Nice flies all so far.

Thanks for the update Neil. I'm sure this book will be just as great as the other 2 and the Fusion articles. It will be a welcome addition to the library.

Sweet, can I join ya.

Congrats guys. You can see you banner up now on the home page - http://flyfishcalgary.com

If you were to buy one new, I think they were retailing around 70 bucks. If you want a comparable, look for Jan Siman Turbo Dubbing Spinner. You can pick these up for around 60 or so.

Awesome fish Dude. I love skinny water fishing.

Nice range of species. That would be killer to hit a few of those. Rick, the Chart and White is great in freshwater as well. Think Walleye.

Sounds like fun if I happen to be in town. Play for flies.

Dude! That is awesome. Big time kudos on the idea.
