The Fishing Hole will never see my shadow grace their door again....worst fishing shop ever.

Ahhhhh! LMFAO!! I don't know where I've been but I read the first few posts of this board...had an 'awe shucks' moment and moved on...didn't realise it turned into a flame fight, and a ff with some good points. My stance....love the picts...love the 'awe shucks' feeling of a young person enjoying the sport...loved the picts of the bulls! As for the handeling....I'm sure almost everyone here would love to have their grinning mugs beside a fish like that. I'm sure the fish doesn't like it... just like it doesn't like the hole in his lip and the panicked struggle for what it believes is it's life. I'm sure, in this case and in the case of a large % of fly fishers, the fish lived to fight again. Nice story, great picts... awe shucks.

Zactly. The concept is sound but it's the markups and commissions etc you have to watch for . It's a way to play the futures market for the retail consumer.

Had a guy at my door last week...listened to the pitch for about 3 seconds before I said no thanks....he proceeded to fish out a 2/3rds smoked butt from his shirt pocket and tried to launch into the rebuttle...door closed before he could.

Isn't the idea of camping and ATVing to remote fishing places everyones dream? Isn't that the reason that the places are ripped up....you know....by everyone trying to live the dream?

Looking for a icon to describe how disapointed I am with this thread.......looking.......disapointed.......looking.....

Love it! Great post!

No joke....you are in flavour country...pick a stream....any stream....

That is one big cluster of puppies! I bet they are a hoot when awake and stumbling around on those paws. Good on you for the adoption, the fly fishing gods will remember.

Ya, I laughed my ass off when I heard about that...I can just imaging the stream of french cursing....

Wow, that is frickin sweet! As George W would say...awesome~!

Looks like the top few rows of my Atlantic Salmon box...add a few Green Machines, Butterflys, Cossabooms and a Shady Lady or 5 and you got it covered!

Welcome OSF! I'll echo the Lady here...they Bow is in run off now and, depending on a few variables, might be that way for a few weeks. There is some fishing to be had for sure but it's a different river in July. As for places...I guess I won't be spilling any beans if I say Fish Creek park (south). That and really anywhere there is access (Google Earth = Friend). Sorting thru this board is also invaluable. Cheers.

I won't be looking them in the eyes....don't want 'em to get the wrong idea.....

Wow! As George W Bush would say....thats awesome! I've tied Atlantic Salmon flys in my youth and have thought to myself that, if I ever get back into tying, it would be to do realistics but never knew where to start. Thanks, great post!

Very sorry for your loss. A dog truly is the best friend.

Meh.....it is stock footage gathered by a disinterested clerk, edited by someone who didn't know/care and presented by someone who didn't watch it.

Who cares the size exactly....nice catch!

Oh gawd...flash back...now I got that in my head...Limewire here I come....

I've seen them in Ont. and NB.

Congrats on the new toy. Are you saying your tuned to open G? If so, the electric (when properly distorted ) can be pretty easy to play. It's a one finger thing...lots of Stones tunes played in open G. I'm a longtime campfire guitar player and know 1/2 a million songs....thats half or less of them. I also have a voice similar to the Dungarvin Whooper!

Roger that.

I'll share this...pretty cool (and a little addictive). http://www.bubblebox.com/play/puzzle/975.htm

I've got the A2 4piece 6wt - I like it alot but if I was to get one again I would get the 5wt - the fast action and strong backbone on the 6wt is a little much for the smaller streams. I've never fished the V2 but am impressed with the A2 enough to recomend you try the V2
