Welcome gents! Looking forward to the international swap!!

Definitely a wicked day for sure guys! Glad to meet some other people from the board as well. Hopefully those golf balls don't accumulate to quickly!! Thanks for the job well done Wongrs and Pipestonefly, I know there is some work in putting things together and everything worked out seemlessly, Good stuff! While I missed out on Toolman and Speyghillie, I had a pretty good after BBQ fishing session. I went off to the hullswood run and hooked into five bows and landed three, all on a (16) copper john, and the other cooler thing was, I thought one of the guys were coming by from the bushes and when I turned around there was 3 deer, 2 bucks and a doe! Pretty cool! and again thanks everyone for the effort today, great job!

Hey Shuck, a good website to check out is Flyanglersonline and check out the flytying section and in there they have a beginners section with some basic ties for some practice

I'm going to have to catch up with you out there one of these summers Gary

The bow river isn't really any better during winter than the rest of the year (fishing wise), the fish are just holding in different water and there tends to be a lot of them congrugated in those waters. Its one thing to say I'm going fishing in -5 but getting out there is another story. The coldest day I fished in was -15 last year and it was definitely tough. Freezing guides, frozen reel, frozen waders, and the worst frozen laces, I couldn't get my boots off for a while, I had to melt the ice off with my lighter. You must also have to think of all the hazards while fishing during the winter months. Frostbite is an easy one, stripping in wet line can get you fingers pretty cold pretty quick. You also have to be aware slips, as snow starts to collect on your felt on your boots, any bit of ice seems like you just stepped on some serious slick oil! Chunks of ice floating down the river as well can be very hazardous, as if your not paying attetion and a large peice of ice comes floating right at you, you can find yourself in some trouble. But anyway if you do head out dress warm, wear thermals if you got them and as for your hands go and buy some of those glove warmers and keep them in your either in your gloves or in your pockets. And there allready seems to be some good fishing tips on here so I'll leave it at that.

great report and even sweeter pics! Nice job guys! Sorry about your shin rick!

Sweet Picks dude! We were wondering how your trip was going, and seems everything is going stellar!

Once you start tying, your whole world pretty much goes to fly fishing! *L* Head out fishing and see a nymph and then you'll be at the vise that night! go out shopping and you'll find yourself looking at stuff that you can use for tying! Its on now dude!! Congrats on the tie!

trailing bubbles

welcome aboard dude!

I would just move on as well but before I leave I would spook the hell out of that hole, throw some big rocks into the waters to clear out the whole run!

Nice Shot Ed, Check these ones out!

Great find !! I just lost my bottle to and have been waiting to hit the fly shop to pick some up! New Plans! Thanks!

that was without a doubt......painful

Hope everything goes well for ya dude! Speedy recovery man!

spring summer fall winter, for the last 2.5yrs

I would like to see someone do the multipled roll casts with a triple nymph setup!

would have made me laugh if he got pulled over for speeding!

I have to fish when I can due to the inconsistency in my schedule. Sometimes I put in very long days, get up at five on the river till twelve, be at work by 3pm, and in some cases worked till three am.

Looks like fun, as long as there was no other traffic on the road!

yup that would be it

Click here if the movie does not play.
