Wicked broon man, way to go.

Just a reminder folks that the sale is ending in a few days. Anyone who might still be thinking about picking anything up drop me a pm. Thanks!

Sweet fish T,
You just cursed yourself professing this year to be the one where you beat the teacher, and proposing a wager. Another lesson in the persnickety business of fly-fishing.
All that said, kick his arse if you can! May you both post new Alberta records.

I am soooooo glad he got caught. The fine is good, I kinda wish that all his fishing equipment got taken too, and a fishing suspension for a bit longer woulda been nice too. I can't believe some people, it is disgusting to think that this goes on. I wish too that he got it at the lake where it happened, but at least he got it.

Thanks again all you guys,
I am waiting to take him to the river until after the ice shelves are gone, that way I can figure out if he's a water-spaz and it'll be somewhat safer for both of us. I sure am looking forward to taking him out to my favorite streams this summer.

Just kidding, just kidding. Just always loved that line.

I would agree with Flytyer. You might wan to consider a few in black too. I really believe that in many cases colour is not a deciding factor for trout, I think it can often be a 'light vs. dark' thing for resembling what is on the menu. However, that being said I can't help but carry all the colours with me anyhow!

Sharkskin is really amazing in below freezing temps. I also like Rio Windcutter a lot. I recon you can't go wrong with either one. I own & fish both & really like both.

Hi Spey guys...in an effort to become more informed and possibly ostrasized (sp?)....
I really don't get it...why Spey? I could see it in larger rivers and I do understand that it looks cool and must be fun to throw...but...in the end...do you really need Spey on the Bow? I mean it must be a bitch to carry around and, at best, an expensive indulgence in a pointless activity?
Sincerely
The Target
P.S. Secretly asking 'cause it does look cool.....
Pythagoras,
Is Spey necessary on the Bow? I don't think so. Will it enhance your fishing experience? Very likely. They are different questions. It will open up a bit more water for you to play in and likely catch some fish that are out of reach for most others. It is really not a bitch to carry around, and I haven't found it to be any more expensive than single handed stuff. I like it a lot for the places it allows me to fish much more easily than I could with the single hander. That being said, I like both casting styles and will never give up the single hander for anything. I will use the Spey when it suits me and when I think it'll make the water that I am fishing more accessible to me. I hope that helps some.

Thanks guys,
Bobloblaw, you can always carry my gear man - I am after all, if nothing else, loyal.

Al,
A BIG thanks to you also for doing so much for the waters we love with Streamwatch - This auction would likely not have gotten to where it is without your impetus. A big thanks to Toolman too for doing a great job with running the auction.

I drove 680kms to get this big lug for Valentine's. It was a hit. Plus now I get to have someone else carry a bunch of gear this summer! (No, not my GF, the dog!)

Here's my new fishing buddy Jesse. He's a 2 year old black lab, and he's a great & well trained dog. 95 lbs of gear-carrying fishing buddy for me! We adopted him 2 days ago, and aside from the cats living in hiding, he's been a great guy so far.
No, not one of my cats!

The Fishin' Hole has some good prices, and they are a good bunch of folks. Ask for Kelly or Bill.

I have to say that the TFO is a good piece of hardware for the $$, with a warranty to match. Affordable and are really decent. In fact I like my TFO better than my Orvis Clearwater, which cost twice as much. That being said, the Orvis TLS is a great rod at around $400 or so but that is a long way from $250. I can't help much more than that. Brent's advice is really what I would suggest too. Cast a couple side by side so you can feel them yourself & you'll know right away what you like better.

Too funny Harry. Enjoy your jet trip!

"Oldman" is a shortened version of it's original native name "The Old Man That Played On The River", who is Na'pi - I cannot recall if it is Blackfoot or Peigan, but I think it's Blackfoot. It is explained in a book I read on Jerry Potts, the 1/2 native 1/2 white guide that really helped the NWMP in the early days out in these parts.

Rev,
You crack me up.

On the international fly fishing circuit, Canadians are referred to as the 'Tripod Team'. Needless to say, our bar stool have less 'wood'!
But we still can't dance.

Winter blows. There is already plenty of snow in the pack on the bumps in the land up high. Let the sun shine, and the cutts rise.

I love my Orvis TLS, I have a 4wt & a 6wt. I would also recommend the GLoomis Streamdance GLX as I can hardly believe what that rod will do. For reels, I love my Battenkill Mid & my Trions. Great reels and not big $$. I fish much the same water as you list above, and my set-ups work perfectly. I can't even cast to the capabilities of the rods I own.

Get a Mac. Period. I have 2 now and will never go back. The commercials are actually true. A toaster should make toast, not turn the toast blue & make you turn it off & then still get either burnt toast or just the bread you put into it. The Mac will make beautiful toast for you, time after time. Just my analogy.
