The Inconnu I've got were awesome..

Funny, I don't seem to have any problem throwing 6/0 coon flies and hauling in 20lb jacks on my $70 beater 9wt. Call me when you can throw a 2oz fly 70' in a headwind and land it six inches from a 45" jack.
I think the SA pike taper will solve it's problems. Contrary to what the industry would have you believe, fast action rods do not cast 'better' or farther than medium action rods, and they are the absolute shits for big flies. It may become my small popper dryline rod, but I hate niche rods.
How big of flies are you chucking jksnijders?
Not a "Bow River" tape measure..
Standard postage envelope.
The cradle is 47", but I can post a pic of that too.

9' 8wt BVK was the main pike rod I used this year, no issues whatsoever. Floating Lines, Intermediates, high wind, no problem.

What, for sturgeon? I'll bring the Dupont...
Could do that also..

Rattlesnake Reservoir is supposed to be full of them
I believe we got some fishin' to do also.....

Sturgeon are awesome. Never gone for whites, but it's on the list. This fall we'll go for a tour Jeff.

Awesome. That's a big "girl"...

Ever looked at the streets in Calgary, especially by a stop sign or set of lights? Where do you think that goes, let alone the quantity?

Have a good one Clive.

Maybe a new line of shows that features the most dangerous things people do for simple sustenance, like I'm sure these people are?

There are 2 separate parts to a polarizer, ( I assume you mean grabbing the actual lens when you refer to the "barrel") Try grabbing one part lower on the filter itself.

Beauty.

I do it mainly, because, much like casting a flyrod, I enjoy it. Do I save money by doing either one? The answer to that is a resounding "not likely", but I stick with it regardless, even though my skills at both leave alot to be desired.

Dealt with McBain in Red Deer, The Camera Store downtown, Vistek, Saneal, no issues with any of them. Kinda like The Camera Store lately though..

Wearing my coffee now.....

Conklin or Anzac, the best part about being in either place is seeing it in the rear view on the way home.

Nice. Not at all envious either..

Much further south and I'd be in the U S and A. And that can wait in the car as far as I'm concerned.

So are we bragging, or complaining.
Took my truck a good few cranks to get going this morning, so I'd say bragging was far from it.

Prescription or recreational?

Very carefully. Mine's hit the water on several occasions but water hasn't made it through the bag. Yet. Got a Lowepro pack that works well.

Whatever you buy take it to a good tech and get it set up. Intonation, action, etc. If it's an acoustic stick some Elixir strings (or something similar)
There was a guy named Peter at Guitarworks on 16th Ave that was really good, not sure if he's still there or not.
