[Fly Tying Table Has Someone Made One]

A small piece of plywood for the base, a couple of cheap fence boards, some screws, holes and varnish. Can't remember the cost but couldn't imagine it would be over about $30-$40.

 

 

Thank-you! This is really nice! Boards are they pelt boards? Good ones! I like this....

 

 

[Fly Tying Table Has Someone Made One]

Hi I like to get myself organized for my tying, there was someone here made a set up! I can't remember where I saw it and there was pictures..

 

Thanks

[Usa Guy Wants To Fish Canada, Fishing Licence?]

Hi, my freind wants to come to Calgary and fly fish with me for a few days, What's the best way to go about getting a fishing licence?

 

Thanks.

[Mail Something To The Uk]

There's no problem, I've shipped to the UK many items for swaps and selling flies.

 

 

Hi, Good thank-you!!!

[Mail Something To The Uk]

Hi, Does anyone know if I can send a fly in the mail to UK. Because of it being a metal hook in here , will that be ok?

 

Thanks.

[Adventures W/ Dying Polar Bear Fur]

Thanks a Lot a Lynn now I have a vision of naked seals and polar bears running around the north sea ice. Humm, I need some deer hair I wonder if I grabbed my electric shaver and found a deer.......

 

 

Hi, good Lynn is like that too.. When I first started fly fishing I asked where the fly tying supplies came from.. the deer hair and seal dub now polar bear..... god.. well I then thought, Well~ It's ok, ok it's ok, I'm sure these animals are not suffering from a visious kil.. like the dogs I saw on a vidio.... it was awful what I saw. If anyone wants to go and see it's on the internet! look up animals skined alive.

 

Today, I went out to get some seal dub for my fly swap I'm in, I only need enough for 3 more flies, Nope no one has any.. Now I'm thinking am I a hipercrit! I know I am not, so I will stop now and continue on making my fish flies.

 

Thanks..

[Adventures W/ Dying Polar Bear Fur]

Seemed like a better alternative than trying to shave it...

 

 

Hi, To bad all these animals couldn't be shaved, that's a good idea.... someone sent me a vidio of animals being skined alive, that nearly killed me seeing that.

[Crayfish Pattern]

Not too hard to tie, basically a couple wooly bugger bodies with rubber legs and a deer hair head over lead eyes. Haven't tried em yet, but I got a couple waiting for some bull trout.

 

Hi the one thats called Galloup's S. Dungeon Fly (White) Thanks for posting it. I now know where to use that marabou from my wedding muff.. I had stored it away, thank god it never turned yellow....

But is white marabou a good color for tying flies?

Thanks.

[Tying On Spider Legs....]

Tie on before, just knot them in place then whip some tying thread around them.

By the way this post should be moved to the fly tying area.

 

 

Hi thanks... I know but I thought this is where the pros are to be located..... thanks again.. for your info

[Perch Fishing With Flyfisherwoman]

How long did it take to clean them all? How many were females with eggs do you figure?

 

Cheers

 

Sun

 

Hi, it only took me 1 hour to clean those fishies.... there was 4 females, rest males.. about one cup of eggs from the females..

Tonight we are going to Donegal Irish Pub in Calgary for 0.09 wings... they are the best!!!

 

Thanks again, looking forward to that again. I went to Wholesales Sports yesterday to look for a rod, they don't have one, I'll go to Canadian Tire than..

 

Get what I need for my ice fishing outtings, self dependant...

[Perch Fishing With Flyfisherwoman]

Ya right you just brought out all the big ones from your freezer trying to recruit your forces of death before the ice comes off.

 

 

Ha! Yur just jealous!!!

[Perch Fishing With Flyfisherwoman]

Yummy, even now my mouth is watering.cooked them in the orange juice recipe I thought I would give that a try...... we almost eat them all tonight, saved some for tomorrow nights snack...

[Thinking Of Going Back To Guiding - Anyone Know Anyone Hiring Guides?]

FFW, since August '07 I've spent several thousand dollars on fly fishing and the best few hundred, by far, has been on instruction. Of course I don't know your financial situation but $150-$200 is, in my opinion, a steal of a deal for 4 to 5 hours of one on one instruction.

 

My $.02

 

Neil

 

Hi JayWee, ( Neil ) Price at $150.00-$200.00 is a steal.... that I would go for, forsure! One on one instruction. 4-5 hours is about all I can take anyways..

 

I live SW, I would like to fish closer to Stoney Tr. the bridge there on the way to Tuscany, or Bowness. I do like fishing way SW don't get me wrong there, it's just a tad far. not as far as the Crow.. ;-)

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

 

[Thinking Of Going Back To Guiding - Anyone Know Anyone Hiring Guides?]

Yes, and no.

 

I would probably only be doing this for one summer, possibly two, while I go back to school. There's no future in driving truck. I don't know if putting the effort into advertising and popularizing another company would be in my best interests right now. I'd rather do that for someone else's co. at this point in my life

 

Brian

 

Hi, What would your price be for a walk and wade in Calgary on the Bow? I would like to take something like that, but most places it's been wayyyy to expensive for me to...

 

Thanks.

 

I think that's a great idea.. and there's tons of free websites out there to post what your great at..

 

[Bifocal Polarized Fishing Sunglasses]

I finally got rid of my "windshield bifocals" and got the more modern dainty-sized progressives. "Small" Cocoons fit over them very nicely. Amber polarized.

j

 

Neat... where did you buy/order these?

Thanks for posting..

 

 

[Bifocal Polarized Fishing Sunglasses]

Ditto!

 

 

Hi, I have MJ sunglasses, but couldn't see much, I needed glasses, I now have progressives glasses and polarized progressive sunglasses, not used them fishing yet but love them driving. I hope they work for fishing... Costco. good price $300.00 and $400.00 for my glasses, only thing is when I want to use my sunglasses I have to switch from my progressive reading glasses.. pain in the !@#$ but better then having 4 different glasses in total.. hope this helps...

 

 

[Bears!]

With spring coming up (finally) MEC is offering a free course on bear awareness. Showed up in my inbox and I figured it might be of interest to people here.

 

 

Great, Thanks..

[Giggle For The Day]

Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation took place:

First guy: 'You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this weekend. I had to promise my wife that I would paint every room in the house next weekend.'

Second guy: 'That is nothing, I had to promise my wife that I would build her a new deck for the pool.'

Third guy: 'Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I would remodel the kitchen for her.'

They continue to fish. When they realized that the fourth guy has not said a word, they asked him. 'You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend.What's the deal?'

Fourth guy: 'I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm, gave the wife a slap on her butt and said:

'Fishing or Sex?' and she said: 'Wear sun-block..'
