OMG , Be careful , might wash some of them rocks away

I use myself a 7wt for all my steelhead fishing , if I was going to target chinooks then I'd pump it up to a 9 or 10 wt in a Spey rod As for tips , I've had and used them mow tips , they ok , I now prefer to use rio type tips , I just them better , I carry on me at all times a type 3, 6 , and 8 You go fish and you'll figure it out fast Good luck

I would think that last flood , did more damage to the banks then the last 20 years of jet boats on the river , it is what it is

Merry Xmas to your family as well doc , if you get sic of that cold weather and need a break , come hook up with me down south , it's warm +22 today bud , might be time for you to try chasing salt water fish

funny as I just heard through the grapevine , rumour is Dana White is looking at CJ for future fights in the UFC , If he could get enough fly fisherman to show up down at policemans , might be the next hottest ticket in town , hold the grudge match in the old parking lot ,

ya , really make it tough on em hey Jay ,

who cares really , if he was from red deer , edmonton or even calgary , that shouldn't matter at all , what does matter is what he was that morning he was a mouthy D bag and tried to be a big bully to a bunch of other fly fisherman who where minding there own and some waiting in line to launch , i'm sure this will smart'n him up , he was nothing but a little dog with a big bark and he barked at the wrong guide , now for our visiting soft loveable huggable texan Rickr your giving me a good laugh with your BS posts if this happen down in your state, someone would of got shot as you texan's love your guns ,

why don't you just share this with all of us Brian , please do tell us more , am i the only one thats missing something here , i'm sure these guys have never been down south or been to police lake to fish , ????

i know first hand what all went down , allot more to the story then stated , the guy was mouthy and got just what he deserved , he was mouthy to a few to many people that morning , and my bud never hauled him out of his truck , he got out and decided he was going to push my friend around, well it backfired on him , he got just what he deserved , then he called sulking to the RCMP after having his ass whipped , they showed up and talked to everyone , all sides and all witness , the good guide got a friendly pat on the back and told to carry on and take his clients out fishing for the day , justice was served what the mouthy person didn't know was that the clients were getting it all on vid while it was going down , as soon as the boys in red seen the video , was enough to know that the guide was fine in defending himself , and just so everyone knows , my bud had his boat already in the water launched , the mouthy guy was blocking him from getting out , and he was also being rude to a few others in line waiting , he;ll think twice next time he decides to shoot off and do a bully act ,

X 2 , and very well said you just can't fix stupid , plain and simple fact , it reminds me of the time the guy from texas i think he was here visiting , and asking for help on spots to go fish and any tips , everyone stepped up and gave him help , next thing you see him with pictures holding a 28 inch brown by the gill plate like a big old large mouth bass , one picture showed the fish on its side in the water and it's gill plate was stuck open to the side, no way in hell that fish lived , maybe look the other way if it's a young kid , but as far as i'm concern , if it's a grown adult being stupid like that , he deserves a fine ,

if you really want to push it , call the F&W guys and request them to look into it , the rules are broken in the way he is handling that fish , you have to release the fish asap without harm , that picture is enough for them to lay charges , holding onto it by the gill like a bass for a picture is not cool in my books , just send them the link and picture, thats all you have to do ,

i like and use a 11 ft Meiser in a 3 / 4 wt , or 300 to 450 grain , don't need a big stick for these trout

like to move my panel box 18 inches to the right

very sad news , *hit can happen and go so wrong in a split second , cost this poor man his life , prayers to the family in this time of loss everyone take a second and do a double think on whats going down , no fish is worth taking a chance ,

before I fry myself good and leave a widow , i need a Electrician to do a job with my main panel box , any member on here that could help me, please PM or call me thanks

what to do all one needs to do is take a few mins and stop at the lighting hole on the bow , see and read that sign on the tree , it's enough to make you understand about fishing in a lighting storm

i'm really hoping for a big big run off and blow all them sick fish out of here , the river is full of sick fish and thats the best that could help in the short team , last week i was on the river 5 days , i never seen so many sick whitefish , dead and floating , a few rainbows and only couple browns , seen a few fish mixed up in the head also , swimming weird , jumping this is way beyond a handling issue , not saying thats not a good point , just i don't think it started whats happening in the river now , i will also say Dave , that i think that silt was bad and still is bad , it's still on the rocks after one good run-off and no doubt it's bad for bug life , best thing that could happen is a big flush

i myself think the low low water in augs / sept , and the fall spawn for the browns stressed them out pretty bad ,

DOC that was nice for sure with a 15 ft rod , but just to let you know , the same weekend at that SOR , a guy set a new record and beat gerald with a cast of 191 ft with a 15 ft rod

thanks for sharing such a great story , i enjoyed every bit of it , and that picture tops it all off , big stunning fish nothing like the very first one , , kinda like your first roll in the hay , you'll never forget it

thats just to funny , why don't you ask them spey pages guys if they would use a 5 wt or even a 6 wt single hand rod for true steelhead , BC steelhead oh hell with it , even better just tell em how good you are that you could get away with it like your posts here stated ,

just way to funny shredneck , such a nice post for a friday afternoon , LMAO he can take his high & mighty opinions and post them on speypages , see how long he lasts before being banned on that site , ha ha

way to funny

X 2 for sure Doc on that speed dial on your cell for report a poacher , every bit helps , and take a picture with your cell if your floating and it don't look right '' worm hanging off the ol hook ''' , them fish cops love it when you make the job easy on them

do what your heart tells ya is right i think the handling of the fish after the catch is way more important then a hook thats barbed or de barbed , i see nothing wrong with taking a picture in my opinion , just not out of the water for 5 mins , and i also think taking your time to hold that fish in the water and make sure he's healthy and revived before just letting him go , it does make a diff , another good reason for a big net , let him rest up while you enjoy the moment
