  1. The Summit is a lowerer end Pflueger reel, should be able to pick one up for 40-50 bucks or so..never seen one but I own a few different Pflueger products and have yet to be dissapointed..The Trion will be your next step up, I have a couple (56 & 78) and both have been nothing but perfect for me, should be able to pick one up for under a c-note. ...if times is not a factor..shop around on e-bay...
  2. don't remember the name but theres a good place on Edmonton trail N around 10-12th I guess..hav'nt been there in years, but they had the best hailbut. and i second TNT & boyd's as well .. those are your best bets, (that i know about) .. considering where you are, its the best you'll get in town..If your in the Olds area check out Oceans Alive .. great stuff, great prices.
  3. crazy...I've been seriously wondering about a pet trout or two .. what kind of set up do you have?
  4. I tie a couple differnt Clouser Minnow patterns, one with eyes, one without. (the ones w/o are wrapped in lead) I never noticed, but i think they perform eqaully well..the eyes however will offer a little more bling to they fly and maybe draw more attention..or spoke weary fish on a sunny day..??? good question alhuger
  5. hmmmmm...Ive seen Salmon jump and suceed through less water..but not at the rate at which these trout are trying to jump.. If this was actually the case I don;t believe you'd see 4 trout attemping that close together..Ive seen pools of a thousand fish or more jumping over waterfalls and very seldom will you see more than a couple at a time through a small channel..my 0.02 = trout being dumped . although it's quite possible a trout could escape through that pipe..
  6. proud to be a newfie .. birthday present a couple years ago .. east coast rash...lol thats funny bbt ..
  7. kinda fishing related i suppose ..
  8. (setting up a Shaw account) .. sounds pretty cool, sorta like satellite radio..
  9. cool line for sure .. dunno about the noise though .. have to be tougher on eyes
  10. yes the Cougar was very lucky to get away .. poor young juvenile male cougar cornered like .. lucky to get away indeed..
  11. I enjoyed, Kings Quest / Space Quest / Police Quest - Ran on an 8088 .. probably the last time I was "into" games ..
  12. Tickets were $ 200 , said a broadcast I watched last night ..although I looked for some on e-bay about 3 months ago and could'nt find any under a grand .. anybody in attendance is lucky indeed ..

  16. yep an effective Atlantic pattern for sure....nice
  17. ...I was kinda thinking the same thing Don, pass me a drumstick...
  18. no thing as a silly question....? not in this case....of course they work .. it's "flies like that" which paved the way for fly fishing..I've hooked trout out of the bow on highlanders, blue charms, thunder and lightnings, black sliver tips .. if you fish it they will come .. try a big wet in lieu of your worm ..
  19. wadda you got against cheese? :angry: :angry:
