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,

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

well said

Have you seen any in North America Yet?

pink and white intruders, some blue and black trailer trash for the friends that are going to the Skeena area and some big skater dries. Wish i was going . Glad my flies have been working for all the boys that went , some still there, and more going next week . Nice feeling to be part of their success. Talked to a few guys last night lots of steelies being caught on Dries. mikey Nice ties Headscan just what i needed more ideas

sorry all Trout Bum rods are sold out . Tho the distributor is still hoping to find any of the Bum series rods. we will let you know. Southbow

Hey Wolfie have you tried the new Act4 Guideline rods yet, pretty sweet. Or the fast and smooth LPXe rods from Guideline . Even Sweeter.

I once hooked a loaded tackle box by the handle out of Allison hole on the Vedder river. Fished a big yellow slide out of the Bow after runoff one year, my kid's still use it today. Dave

Southbow has some in stock ,seen it on the wall today

Hey guys Ive been on the Bow alot lately seen the temp up around 65 67 degrees. It is time to get those fish in quicker than we had to two weeks ago. Ive seen to many big rainbows floating / bloated up on the surface, sad but true, in the last few days. Be extra careful around the weeds, the trout get wrapped around the roots and then snap tippets and with the trout still wrapped and trapped and of course leads to a dead trout. When this happens I hope you spend some energy trying to find out where that trout busted you off, because guaranteed, that soon to be dead Trout wishes you did.

Go swim around in the helliport hole and don't freek out and drown when a 40 lb northern starts chasing your ass around, or when a 8' great white sturgeon swims up beside you. believe me its pretty cool,. but scary. Also keep your eyes open for some huge Lakers and of course dead bodies their always fun. Let us know, dont forget your air tanks and snorkels. So cool. oh yah watch out for the rebar!!!

Material looks a lot like Zing wing or medallion sheeting. Felt pens do wonders

Last year i had a day spent on the Bow hanging out with Dan, his side kick for the day was Denise Maxwell, also two great anglers from Italy's world flyfishing team. If you want to talk about pressure ,of course Denise nine time World champion caster, one of the top guides on the Bulkley River , she was so laid back ,no pressure. Dan was such a simple guy who has a knack for teaching and making it easy, we spent more time laughing than catching. He helped myself become a better Scandi caster within minutes. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to become a better two handed caster, it will be fun . Dan is a Knowledgable instructor with all the fff certificates, Dont miss this one with Jack Cook . Wanna know something about making your own fly lines to building awesome flies talk to Jack. Im looking forward to spending a late night on the Bow with Dan and Jack

since you are handing them out, i'll take a dozen.. nice tie
