Doesn't havin' a phone with you whilst fishin' kinda defeat the purpose of goin' fishin' in the first place???????????

Watch where you're wading in the high country small natal tribs, the cutts are still spawnin'.

Carpenters are almost as cool as professional cattle hoof trimmers

What's the total thickness of the inserts? The threaded portion of the hardbites are a smidge over 10 mm from the base to the tip.

Hell I'm still fishin' RPLs, maybe it's time to upgrade to XPs

I resemble that remark

Which could be why my catch rate is so gawdamned poor in friggin lakes

I'm lazy, double or triple surgeon's loop

Just jerkin' your chain Peter. I have no idea because I can never find my tube of Aquaseal when I need it and end up using Marine Goop. It just peels off after a season. Sorry

PataGucci has a good name and boot but in spite of some people's cakeholin' in 20 yrs I've never gone wrong Simms. Last pair lasted 7-800 days and I routinely walk 5 to 10 k back to the truck

Why? aquaseal smears and patches are battle scars and good mojo, wear'em proud, christ I haven't washed my wardell deluxe's in 7 yrs

Guess I'll find out by this fall, I bought a pair last Sept.

The Provincial Building in Cochrane or TU office in Calgary and then one supervised outing on Quirk Creek

Fiberglass, probably cast a line weight lighter than marked using modern lines. If it were a 8 foot or shorter 5wt Parametic it would be a highly desired rod for a vintage rod nut but being a heavier longer rod in good shape maybe 50-60 bucks on evilbay maybe 75 on a good day. Make a helluva bass rod though, the warmwater boys seem to like them.

That would 'splain the photoshop Lucy

Noce Feesh! I almost cheat to catch one or two like that but............. Don it was good to a voice to the face. It does extend the season but the learnin' curve is steep for a commited small stream OFer but we're havin' fun.

Just got off the phone w/Jim and I'm signing up. Definitely a step in favor of native species over introduced, too bad it's too late for a dozen or so creeks that I'm personally aware of.

I have a strong alligator clip with a small lead weight attached. Good idea, beats the heck outta usin' my hemostats

Cool Lack of wave action ain't much of a problem down here however whitecaps are. Plus I see a fish finder purchase somewhere in my future...

Is it just me or are the lakes friggin' slow right now? 7-8hrs over 2 days 3 potholes from the prairies to mountains usin' all of my limited stillwater knowhow for a grand total 2 dinks released, 2 quick LDRs and 3-4 short strikes. :$*%&: :$*%&: :$*%&: :$*%&: :$*%&: :$*%&:

Too bad, methinks there may be a pond or two more around that's got it this spring. Oh well there may be some Montana fluvials around with the high runoff if I feel the need to get some thyme smell on my hands.

Never mind the 4 weeks off..HTF do you get 4 days in a row off??

or Maxima Ultragreen. Tried building my own leaders but I found the abundance of knots beaucoup irritating over factory tapered leaders. Nowadays I usually use furled leaders

Better quit fishin' if you're feelin conflicted sunshine, bloodsport is a bloodsport whether it's c&r fishin', fox huntin' or bear huntin'.....

Yeah but did you hafta leave by a different gate?
