Gartside Philo Caddis Emerger http://www.danica.com/flytier/tdidas/garts...dis_emerger.htm

Soft grey in colour or soft in texture?? If its the aftershaft, you can use it to tie a great caddis emerger. Here is a good run down of what you can use various feathers for... it for a pheasant, but works for partridge too. http://www.blueribbonflies.com/howto/flyty...asantskin.shtml

Great shots... brings good memories. Is that a Grass rod??

Thanks, Its good to see some Alberta names on there... it shows them that folks from all over appreciate the chance to catch wild steelhead!!

I found that too. It's well worth it to just buy a whole skin then you get your pick. 1 full turn is all you need most times, but there is no such thing as under or over dressing 'em. Sometimes too long is good too. A whole "brotherhood" on fishing and tying flymphs (Spiders, Wingless Wet,. Winged Wets, Flymphs or Soft Hackles, etc) http://outdoorsbest.zeroforum.com/zerothread?id=367995 http://www.flymph.com/ http://picasaweb.google.com/pharps/Flies/p...859385346537618 http://www.dtnicolson.dial.pipex.com/ Cheers,

Yeah, Deet will melt the plastic lines. It will also damage clothing, waders, boots, etc. Funny we put it on our bodies. Alot of folks across the pond swear by baby oil and Detol 50/50... Iceland, NZ, Au, etc if it works there, why not here. From Natural pest control Anyways, I've used old Military surplus deet... Used to melt our clothes, I'm deet free now. Cheers,

Hey guys, Just pushing this again from the old board... http://www.sexyloops.co.uk/cgi-bin/theboar...ST;f=12;t=5838; Have a look at the S-loops site above and consider signing the petition... Just Name, City, and Date, only a minute of your time. http://www.petitiononline.com/umpqua07/petition.html Thanks, Harps

I always thought calgary was the new centre of the Universe?? Every time I go I meet people who moved there from Toronto anyways, plus the driving is worse in Calgary and the air sucks. But the fishing is Damn Good, I guess...

I was 3 years in SALH (recon/light armour) before deciding the environment was more important to me. Lived on CF bases with my Dad or on the ranch in near Pincher Creek with Mom's family, for most of my life. Also was a civy instructor for Air Cadets in Medicine Hat for a number of years. My dad was 30 years in the RCLdSH (armoured), multiple tours overseas and all that. My next younger brother served in Afganistan before becoming a Calgary city police officer. Also have a bunch of uncles, great grandparents, and other various relatives that serve or did, many in combat.
