  1. I'll send a cheque Monday morning.
  2. Just don't speed, or do your best not to. I know the QE11 is a pain because you have to deal with traffic going 3 to 5km/h below the speed limit as well as the BULK of the travellers doing 20+km/h over the speed limit. I find myself always fighting to maintain the speed limit and staying in the right lane. Speed is a proven killer, speed and texting? Speed and crosswords? Speed and reading books? Speed and filing papers (yep on the Yellowhead no less.) How about the "Caution Baby On Board" signs in the windows of the cars blasting past me??? If you are speeding you are in danger and you become dangerous to others.
  3. I've been dealing with them for a couple of years now, never had a bad experience and the free shipping is a big plus. I still buy from shops in Edmonton, but Fort Sask. is in the neighborhood and you can't always find what you are looking for at any one place.
  4. My wife is Type 2 and uses metformin with good success. Insulin is usually perscribed only if metformin does not do the job.
  5. I always use the RV and Boat trader to get an idea of the price that boats in a particular class go for. That being said Flytyer has a good point as well. This is a poor time of year if you are trying to get the most money for it. What are you selling? Someone here may be interested?
  6. Don I think I remember the doilies. That should be a similar vinyl to the rolls of picnic table covering? Sort of opaque?
  7. What a Catch The New FlyFisher
  8. So if I want to commit to 3 years do I go to the same person? $100/yr? I probably lose that much change in the wash every year, seems reasonable to me for what it gives back. What I don't understand is why, with the number of anglers that frequent the watershed in question, is it such a stretch to find enough people to donate to the fund. I live in the northern half of Alberta, but in order for there to be fish and habitat for me to come and enjoy a couple of times a year $100 seems like a small sacrifice. Anyway I will phone next week and send a cheque.
  9. Not that it matters that much but I did not receive a receipt either and I have other projects to work on so I just can't be bothered to chase it down.
  10. Is there going to be a booth at the show? I would just as soon donate some cash......Kerry
  11. I hooked myself right in the fishing partner. I didn't really feel anything, but there was alot of noise.
  12. The chicken rules!
  13. The wet snow you guys got down there (and may it stay down there) is tough to drive in anyway. I notice up here though people are the same, I was coming home from work after a snowfall a fe days ago and even though the slush was quite deep and difficult to drive in trucks and mini-vans were passing and there was no way you could see the lanes or stop if you had to. Bunch of vehicles had slid into the ditch between east and west bound highways. I was in a small front wheel drive, good tires and I stayed a couple of kms/hr below the maximum speed limit with no problems. Many people miss the fact that it is a maximum speed not a minimum speed, unless posted as such. Probably glad you took the bus eh Birchy?
  14. This is embarassing but I found a fairly long term cure. I took an office job 6 years ago and now I have computer hands. My hands are way too soft and snag free, but for dubbing I rub a tiny bit of wax into my finger tips. I always swore that I would never work in an office, but here I are!
  15. www.soulseclipse.com Tom has been good to deal with in the past and he lives by the Southgate Mall, I have ordered on line and arranged to pick up the materials when I am in town....Kerry
  16. Inconnu

    Spinners?

    Sorry about the angle but.... I trim the hackle on the bottom and change colours as needed. The wings are cut by hand from a woven mylar ribbon, but I think there is other similiar material out there..
  17. Here lies Kerry In the water Grabbed for a branch An' nearly gotter!
  18. It means Clive should stop using bait? Please post your whereabouts on the river in the future Clive so I don't get caught in the crossfire!
  19. The one at the West Ed Mall has their shop right by an entrance so just drive around the mall until you find their sign outside.
  20. I don't know where I have been lately, I had not heard of this. Perhaps we'll cause a sensation in the power grid as well. I'll discuss it with the family but I do not see why we shouldn't
  21. That is muskrat fur, the colour is somewhat seasonal. I have only used this one of his patterns and only a couple of times in moving water. I did take Dlly Varden on it but as mentioned my best results were over submerged weed beds. I'll have to look for the nonedescript pattern as well.....Kerry
  22. I use this pattern a lot in small lakes where there is a good population of Dragonfly nymphs. I tie it almost exactly as Polly Rosenborough tied it with no alteration except the head. He used black ostrich and I use peacock, the beadhead is a new addition, I typically use it without one. My best day on a small lake in northern B.C. was over 25 fish (I was counting because I was fishing against a guy with a Royal Coachman) over 22" and 1/2 a dozen under that size. Best fished over submerged weed beds, let it sink then a slow retrieve
  23. Great idea Don. I bought a package of their dyed feathers a few years ago and have played around with them a bit to find a use. The top half is pretty spikey for hackle but the lower half or so is softer so it works well for that pattern. Now I can use them for something more constructive. Thanks Don.....Kerry
  24. My reels have often gone for a swim, but it is usually due to my clumsiness. I always take them apart and clean and lube them a couple of times a year. To date I have never has a reel fail, but saltwater is another issue. Unless you have sealed bearings you really need to pay attention to maintenance after every trip. Even with sealed bearings you need to keep them maintained, salt is intrusive and subtle.
  25. I have a really large custom made portable box my wife bought me about 15 years ago, but more often than not I use this one that a friend made for me. I put enough materials for 2 or three patterns in a Zip-Loc bag which fits in the box/ there is provision for spool and tool storage. Small but practical.
