Get yourself a Double Taper Line It will help with your accuracy and presentation..

The operator of the red zodiac is a pain in the ass, but the guy who operates the large 20 plus foot alumiweld and drives a Hummer is the worst culpert . I've watched him back into the middle of the river ,at MacKinnon Flats, to load his ship and then gets stuck and then decides to start ripping apart the river bed with his unstuckable tank on wheels. This guy needs to lose his operators license. Some guide or flyshop on this forum has a picture of this clown destroying the river bed. That picture needs to make a few rounds , we can get rid of some of the disrespect out there. The Bow river is home to some excellent guides/and other boat owners, jets included that have a lot of respect for the river, and anglers that enjoy its waters, but then there are a few that dont know what respect is. Banning Guides, Jet boats, Drift boats ,Jet Skis, WILL NEVER HAPPEN its classified as a highway. But reporting the disrespectful users a few times, will hopefully wake them up.

Great weekend of ties, I would add some Serendipitys, Palomino midge/caddis pupa. keep up the good work,

Full sink, and the faster the better. less mending, than a sink tip, also easy to mend in mid air. Fish with a short leader 6" to 18 ". . Take a look at Kelly Gallops videos , their all about sinking flylines and accuracy . Better yet read the book Nymph Fishing for Larger Trout by Charlie Brooks. And stop hitting yourselves in the back of the head with your heavy streamers and nymph rigs. Goodluck

Nicely said Rick, well done

The wire you are crying about is from Ultra Wire company . They have 2 styles of wire one is Standard colors and the other is called Hot colors that cost the stores more. im sure the shops can live without your dollar,

Barff

scented or not scented. what do you think. I believe not legal in our waters.

Good lookin tie . Killer Bow pattern . I'll take a dozen.

Mike Maxwell 's Tiger eye were in a class all by themselves, just like man himself . God Bless, my friend and mentor.

If you are tying flies for Northerns I would tie flies with synthetics for durability eg: Iceabou, Ice fur, polar chenille, craft fur . .Plastics that don't absorb as much water as animal hairs. which makes casting a little easier. But if you dont care about durability and want your flies to have more movement in the water then stick with Rabbit, fox, coyote,sheep, Bucktail, Polar bear. Just my thoughts.

I think it should be left alone . it s great . I dont like line ups. Sorry Mike no shovels allowed.

Alberta stomp fish

I thought your little rant was perfect mike you should of left it up
