I say we make this an on going thing throughout the summer..different skills/tests for each get together..build your teams and then make the challenges, a few outings throughout the summer so everyone gets to participate..and does not have to be put on the spot for one particular date...

why in hell would you "need" a boat on the Bow..anymore than you would "need" a spey rod...you don't "need" either .. I too have been around buddy and I'll tell you this .. Maxwell is as good of guide as i've seen on the Bow or otherwise, and if you wish to sit here and cut down a 20 year old guy because he does not own a boat (maybe he do, i dunno) .. you sir have some seroius issues to deal with .. I dunno who you are Fishhead..but I'd imagine your friends (or anybody who will publically admit to being your friend) are few and far inbetween .. and perhaps that's why you stick to yourself on your 100 + days on the Bow ..

Might have more to do with the want to spey rather than the need to spey..

I really hate to say this ... but he got a point .. If your gonna do this fair, have it put together by a third party, or multiple "modules" by different people.

That's crazy Teck you got a few legends there...

LOL..that was the best story all year..you deserve the rod and reel

Great to hear you arrived and are under way Glen..the Z-Axis will be on FedEx in the am..I only want $900 for it...

so I gotta Guinea Pig it eh?..oh well.. If its junk, I've wasted more on less

LOL...that was the best movie ever..dammit Max..now i need a case of Pil and some AC/DC..just giver oh and LS, passing out is the same as sleeping..unless your so messed up you pee yourself..then it's passed out...

I picked up a new Spring Creek 7/8 10 ft 3 pc on an inpulse bid on e-bay..wondering if anyone has any experience with these rods as I have heard very little..

"The project looks at fish that are at least 6.5 feet (2 meters) in length or 220 pounds (100 kilograms) in weight." bahhhhh......#22 on 5x just to give em a chance...

Chuck Norris nunca dará el secreto detrás de la salsa secreta de mierda..

Few gooders for my efforts battling the wind yesterday, Today however was a beautiful day to be on the river. sorry for the lame beach pics...Mr.Lonely fisherman..lol

Ditto....Since all the hoo haa with 9/11, your hard pressed to carry on a rod no matter what the size (some airlines will let you pack it as a carry on here in Canada, but not if your leaving the country)..I travel every summer and never had a problem packing a 2pc tube or a 4 pc tube in oversided baggage or "sky-check". Just a thought, may save you a little money.. I have a Z-Axis 5wt 2 pc your more than welcome to try out..

All the best Lynn, wishing you a speedy recovery

I bought one in a two piece in the Spring...It's the cats ass B

What a trip..thats the route when the 649 hits boys

Agree, IP phone is the way to go, cheap, eliminates long distance..won't be long before Telus drops the land lines IMO..

Hey what ever it takes, I know a few kids (both young and old) that are hopelessly addicted to that World Of Warcraft stuff.. It's worst than Crack, Crystal Meth, and Fly Fishing put together...

If you boys like the Vanish, you should check out the Maxima 100% Flourocarbon..I used vanish for a bit and went on to Maxima. about the same price.

LMAO..Thats crazy..

Ah...Salmon...find one ya find 'em all..grew up fishing similar crowds back east, some places so bad, fisherman would have to cast in unison as not to cross lines..we call one pool.. 1-2-3 cast

I'd have to go to bat for my Bare Blackwaters, 3 seasons I'd say +/- 350 days in them (wade, float)..had to dip in to the Aquaseal this year to do a few seams though...tough waders, comfortable..aside from the patch in the knee from a nasty piece of Bow River rebar..clean 'em up and they look brand new...

I love that picture Clive, makes me giggle when i see it...your pictures alway look so....real Don't have any real gooders..(my rod usually ends up on the bank or in the river, hey its got warrenty right..)

I bought a pair of Korkers Streamborn this spring, they are great for support, lightweight, easy in/out..only complaint i have is I went through 4 pair of laces this year (don't even say it cause that Boa system wouldn't last me 2 outings) I'm tough on gear, I'm a big boy and I go hard..I'd imagine i will get another season from them though.. as for the soles...I had the felt come unattached from the sole on one pair (replaced free of charge ) and my first outing in the spiked soles last week..the plastic part of the sole split in several places in the cold...(also replaced free of charge).. for anybody getting replacement soles for Korkers, I'd suggest getting a size larger, they fit better after the boot has been broken in..13 soles for my 13's were a little on the small side...14's fit snug..
