if you thrash waders then Patagonia is a good bet. I just had a pair warrantied after two years of abuse, and they asked no questions. They mentioned that fit was really important, as the seams are stressed when they are not properly fitted.

I will throw this out there..... Unmodified lines for borrow SA: Steelhead taper #7 Skagit 400@24 feet SA headstart #6, bunch chopped off the front for nymphs couple #5 aircells free too a good home Loop: Opti Stream #5......head only Loop Opti Adapted double hand 7/8, with intermediate tip Looking to borrow.....airflo 40+ #5 and #6, and a 275 grain skagit

If we were smart, we would make some sort of fly line pool.......since only select lines are available for demo at the shops.

Anybody have any experience with it or know if any shops stock it in Calgary? Apparently it breaks down in five years, instead of the normal 500 years.

Been running these pretty much exclusively this year, the Mikey Weir pattern......minus the mono loops. Gonna have too try em with the loops.

You could experiment a bit with that, balance the rig a bit......might depend on the size of fish you're dealing with

well said, I agree

green butt skunk?

I will throw in another vote for a 5-6 single hander. Good choice on the Opti Stream too, just ordered one myself.

For sure Andras, I like the Olympus and it will hold up a while......but waterproof HD would be sick!!

ahhh just got the olympus too......I been diggin what panasonics been droppin lately, have to pick one up someday

You can do a quick hand-whipfinish.......just takes one. Holds everything in place, and then ya carry on like normal. If that makes sense.

Yeah, what Flyon said. Casted a bunch of dope sticks today. Might need to cut up my credit card! Was an awesome day, nice to meet you all.

Sushi is briefly frozen to kill any bacteria or parasites..........or so ive been told.

just finished a bunch of caddis, used deer hair for the darker colors. Moving on to water boatmen......cant wait to get over these boring patterns and move on to fun stuff......

Ahhh......"The Quotable Fisherman"? Olympus 850 in my haul, hyped!!

I hope thats the new ultra compact skagit chopped to 10 feet hawgstoppa!!

Is it a big no-no even for trout fishing? I always figured it was the steelheaders that were against the "bobber" fishin. Ive been gettin down with an afs head with a normal tapered leader, does the trick well.......double spey and snake rolls mostly. Only in the winter though.

Nice setup! Is that the multi 6/9 or 9/12?

Wish I coulda made it to this one......work is a terrible and unnecessary passtime. That custom job of Bowbikers' looks sick. Speaking of experienced gear......I noticed there was a big stick for sale in the classifieds.....errrrrr he he.

Speaking of Loop, whats up with their website? A bunch of stuff has dissappeared.....maybe they gettin ready to drop a bunch of new gear?

Can't wait for the opti switch.....what line does it use? Opti stream?

Uh oh, another addict. Nice fish dudes, glad ya got er figured out.
