it was time i got a new camera as i wanted to take some underwater pictures , plus some HD video's , after reading all the posts and a bunch of reviews , it came down to the cannon D10 or the new Panasonic TS2 Lumix 14 MP , i decided only on the TS2 as it was more slimmer and not so bulky as the cannon , i think they pretty well the same in value , so far i love it and by the time i learn everything about it , well then it will be time again for another one ,

that was a good video, if it was me , i'd of given it to him while he was in the river trying to swim , or let the dog have his ass when he hit the shore , them 2 dogs wanted a piece of him , now that would of made a good video

http://www.bnet.com/2346-13239_23-419915.html these pictures really show the wreck on the rig , sad to see the mess and i think they won't get it stoped till she's run dry of oil , they say 2 years , worlds going to a mess , can someone tell me why they just don't burn it off , must be a reason and i'v often wondered why ?? , i think it would be better then killing all wildlife

wicked nice looking stick for sure , the burled wood is what ?

ulmo i have a couple pair of simms pants , love em , the newer ones have the zipper pockets and built as tough as the G4 or G3 full waders , good points cooler in the summer , easy to get on & off , easy when having to go when mother nature calls , i like em more then full waders drawbacks is you can only wade so far as full waders you can really go deeper , in truth one very rarely wades that deep to need full up waders , just sometimes , if you want best of both waders then go with the simms convertables , i have tried them and they are best of both , if i was to only have one pair of waders , then it would be the simms G3 convertables , and last you get what you pay for in good waders

nice looking fish Al , did you take a brit along for company

whats junk is you , your a disgrace to the sport of flyfishing , this sport is of gentleman and kings , plus now ladies , all i ever see of you is yak this and yak that , my 3 year grandson has more manners then you , why don't you just keep your opinions to yourself as i think most of us from alberta are sick of hearing from you now go cry to your mommy

that might just very well be the dates , it will depend on Bob ,

Well sorry folks , bad news , got a phone call today from Bob , due to very personal reasons at the last min , Bob can't make it , he says sorry to everyone at this time ,and really was excited about coming to calgary for a few days to meet everyone ,plus to fish after , we were planning a big float for the second day with about 5 boats lined up , the plans are to now maybe hold it in Sept just before we all head out steelhead fishing , we thought about still holding it as his rep from B.C was also coming so we'd have about 10 differant rods for those to test drive , but after lots of chat we decided best to just hold off till Bob comes himself , he really wants to come to calgary and those people that wanted his lines and those that wanted a rod, i will get them for you asap by fed x , again everyone , from myself and Bob , sorry we had to cancel it at this time

Lynn oh ya , nice ride , i even like the colours , good for you ,

thanks for the emails , i found a member who just happens to do mud and finish work and he has taken on the job ,

i just finished my basement , making it in into a full sports bar , i wired and gyprock it all myself , i don't know how to mud and tape and don't want to ruin it , i 'm looking for anyone who can and wants to make some good cash on the side , '' under the table'' so to speak , it can be done in the evenings or during the day or weekends , thought i'd give members on here a chance first , if you know anyone i would be greatly thankful if you could have them call me at 403-995-3677 thanks dutchie

ladystrange '' just a bunch of ''hen talk'' as you ladys call it , only a rumour , i'm sure the Meiz would of called me or doc to let us know it firsthand , not only that his rep from B.C flying in also for the party "Henry" , then after i promised henry's wife to put her onto a few big browns for 2 days of floating , she's caught lots of big fish , just not a nice brown so just to let you know and everyone else , it's still a go and it will be a great time ,

i'd say your 100% correct on getting out the first few times with someone who can teach you so you don't get into bad habits that will be harder to break from , i paid for some lesson to get started and very well worth the money , don't make much sense to spend all that money on rods & reels and can't get em to do what they were meant to do my first few times i went with calgarys own '' toolman'' Greg , it was the little things that i learned from him that would of took years to figure out , everything from learning the proper way to hold the running line in your fingers so it rolls off nice when throwing some distance , makes it that much more enjoyable when you put it where you want it , i guess it's sorta like golfing , the little things is what really counts , i would highly suggest to all to look up Greg as he's dame good and your money will be well spent for starting out , and the best is he won't break your wallet or just be after your money like some do , i'll just leave it at that , birchy & cheeler , the doc has got a cold this weekend , we will try a evening later on in the week to get out so you can try some of meiz's rods

I would like to try that S series, let me know where and when. Thanks Doug doug at last , back now from that turbine job , and back from idaho picking up my new ride , someday this week in the evening if you want to hookup and try the ''S'' rod , let me know , Birchy '' you might want to come also and i'll bring 3 or 4 Meiser rods for ya to try out dutchie

tell me the spot for $38 please , all i can find is $49 online , i also think it's a crock , money grab again ,

don thats wild , thanks for showing me that video , i'm lucky to be alive , i don't know how many times i have took a torch to lug nuts to get em unseized , scary seeing that and knowing it can happen without any warning , i seen a tire blow up with the old split rims , broke the guys arm in 2 places ,

RICKR I was the first to offer my congratulations. your a true gentleman ricky to take the pokes , digs and come out and say congratulations , when i have my first sip of the crown with the guys , it will be on you

i took allot hits and shots from some yankee's , i tried to suck this guy in on a good bet , rod for rod with flags on them , he didn't have the balls to bet , so the ol Meiz step up to bat on behalf of the usa team for the bet , he called me out , i also got some red white blue spey flies coming my way , should be nice , here's a good post to read boys http://speypages.com/speyclave/showthread.php?t=39055

holly *hit the best canadian hockey player beat the best player on the usa team to win it for us , that was a nail biter for sure , i need or better feel like getting drunk after that game , few more days up north here and then 'll be back fishing and home , life is really good , i had allot bet on todays game , i have a custom built Mesier rod coming on a bet , it is to be wraped in canadian red & white , and also now ''gold'' wraps , i thought i lost it all when 30 seconds left , i was even on google looking for that 23 year old black maple hills rye and a special flask , when i get the rod with the canadian colours on it , i'll post it so you can all see it , i'm going to use a 1912 4 inch wide drum perfect on it this fall while chaseing steelhead rickr get that bottle and have a sip on me , was a good game and best 2 teams made it , both deserve gold for that game dutchie

holly *hit , i need that drink now ricky , heck with who wins , i can't take this anymore , 4 on 4

rickr almost game time now , lets make the bottle a 26 size , and i just hope it's a good game , and may the best team win ricky , i said from the very start if canada couldn't win gold then i want my brothers to the south to win , so i'm ok really on who ever wins , they both played good hockey and they both deserve to be in the gold medal game , glad russia , germany , and swed's didn't win should be good , i have also a wicked good bet on with the Meiz himself , so i'm a little jumpy today and my nerves are on edge , thank god i'm not at the game or someone i know playing all them players on both teams must be nervous GO CANADA , GO CANADA , GO CANADA , GOLD ALL THE WAY

poison for myself rick , my taste buds crave crown royal limited edition , 26 or a 40 , i'll leave you to say the size for us , tell me your poison and don't say some $300 dollar bottle of wine or scotch , has to be the same value give or take a few bucks , i know you guys from the states have expensive taste in your drinks , but lets keep this within reason as i already have a few other bets on the game with some yankee's tell me your choice of poison , not like i really need to know anyway , LOL

rickr However, look out if we win the hockey game! i hear ya ricky , your alright and i know you love your team and country deep deep down inside you , the big ? is do you feel love deep enough to put a bottle on the gold medal game , or you just talking some more smack i'm just trying to bait you in rick

rickr All that said-hope you guys choke Sunday!! i was starting to like you , now i know i hate you , i hope you choke on your eggs sunday morning , only joking of course , just make sure you have a box of klenex to wipe your tears away sunday ricky i have faith in the boys , i think last time we was both in a gold game , was on your home turf , and i seem to remember usa blowing it , what makes you so sure they won't again and rickr any chance you'd put a nice bottle of crown on the final gold medal game in a friendly bet , say a 26 or 40 , my bottle is getting a wee bit low and i'll be home next week , would be nice to swing by and pick up one from ya
