Each summer I bring a few nets back to Calgary and am very pleased to offer this to the Stream watch Alberta auction. As we say in NZ, "good on ya". Each is unique, crafted one at a time, in limited numbers, at my shop. They are made from hardwoods such as Tasmanian Blackwood, Taraire, Matai,Tawa, Fiddleback Red Gum, Rewarewa, Kauri, Macrocarpa and Rimu. (I've secured a small supply of Ancient Kauri; this wood is excavated from far north swampy areas and is carbon dated to be 30,000-40,000 years old.) The handle of the frame has a variety of contrasting wood spots consistent with the trout you catch and release. Each net is "Browns & Bows " engraved to recognize New Zealand as a terrific fly fishing destination From Rickr: Thanks to BigBowTrout for talking to Curt about this donation.

I'd consider it, except he knows a lot about some of those southern streams. Tell ya what, let's go fishing with him, pick his brain, and then ban him!

I hated that opinion. Terry should not be given a forum to espouse his revolutionary views. Freedom of speech for those who think differently? The horror. That could lead to freedom, and lord knows we don't want that. So it came from a pinko lefty? Gotta love those pinko lefties. Bet your bottom dollar Rush never said anything like that!! Or Anne for that matter!!

I'm ex-military. Was told never to go. Still listening to orders after all these years. Sorry for the hijack Liam. Hell of a video.

Thanks for posting that. Wish I could go to Cuba. Stupid American rules.

Just put up closing notices on items 1-5 for Wed at 10 PM.

Good luck with that James! My daughter looks at me like I just grew a third eye anytime I ask her to come fishing!

Sorry Tim.

Just copied that from the streamwatch thread. There are some great trips available, with more still to come! I was thinking the same thing about the community lakes. I know there are a couple of folks on Sundance (come on boys!), and I think some live in McKenzie. I would offer Chaparral, but I never know how it is going to fish. Sundance and Mckenzie are both superior. Here is a link to the auction Auction Thread
