  1. Salmon were late this season anyway..I go evey year..late June early July (west coast) .. Browns on the Avalon are indeed fun though...
  2. A rainey night in Newfoundland...I don't beleive it..lol..where else did you fish besides Rennies? You only target Browns back there or get out central/west for some salmon?
  3. Sage Z-Axis 590 gets the most use..my big stick is a TiCr 790..for windy days and chuckin big streamers..
  4. Usually stock up on the e-bay orders this time of year to get my fly tying stock filled up for winter..and not a better time with the loon up like it is.. as for the merchandise in stores and such..economists say it will take quite awhile (2-3 years) before prices drop substantially on US import goods..as for vehicles..I can't see them lowering prices in Alberta much..no matter what the MSRP sticker says...especially on large pick - ups.. the oil patch is the number one consumer in Canada of large pick-ups..I don;t think you'll ever get a pick-up in Alberta as cheap as in the US no matter what the loonie does.. Just my 0.02..
  5. There are all brands of people on here PlayDoh, Young, Old, Drinkers, Smokers, Easterners, Westerners, Americans and blah blah blah.. but we all have one thing in common, the love of fly fishing and I'm sure most of them would be more than willing to take you out and show you the ropes..My suggestion is to put up a post in the "fishing get together" section a few days before you know your available to fish...you'll get some strikes--pardon the pun.. Don't get discouraged though..not everyone has the social gumption to jump at the chance to fish with a stranger..and for most people the season has just come to an end with the colder weather (this is far from the truth, fish year round, you won;t be sorry) ..so you may not get as much feed back as you want.. as for the Club..I don't belong to one..I participate in events and get togethers on here when I can, and have met alot of great people...and learned plenty from just reading.. and if your up @ 2:24 Saturday morning, posting on FFC ---- you'll fit in just fine ---
  6. Looks like Red Squirrel to me
  7. Turn right at the little tiny sign that says Hat Doctor .. RR 274 I THINK>>>>(or go a little further and follow the signs) turn right at the big white and blue quonset and you'll end up .. .. .. .. .. not at Mckinnons
  8. I'd say all three .. different ones for different flies, I tend to use down turn for dries, up turns for wets, and straight for nymphs and streamers... i voted straight b/c i use more straight than anything else..
  9. Ya kinda missed the point there Jack (Edit).....whatever....you should take grade 9 off next year and go to the land of Nevernever flyfishing...
  10. I'd agree with this statement..it's not a pound of bad hamburger you bought at Safeway..there is a persons reputation, livelyhood and perhaps career at stake here..your not bashing some faceless corporation...
  11. Holy *hit buddy..how old are you 12?
  12. Brownstone

    Mullard

    Often wondered how that veggie fishin worked...you just find a little current and dead drift it by?..or sit it on bottom in the open or somthing...?cool fish
  13. see..doesn't everybody feel a whole lot better...Birch...your guiding days are through....
  14. I don;t think its fair to put the guides name in public, tarnish his rep and possibly have him lose business, over what maybe somthing as simple as miss communication, personal problems, whatever.. if he/she are on the boards..they are probably scared shitless of all the talk .. and now nervous about coming forward to explain to mkm or whoever about what happened ... I'd say leave it alone & don't call that particular guide again .. we don't need to go there .. my 0.02
  15. seen it..ignore it..it goes away
  16. Was great to meet you Gordon .. feel bad you got to clean the river before you fished it .. look on the bright side, you had a few new pair of kickers to head out on the town with..lol..next time your around Bellywashers on me...
  17. keys ended up in the trunk in my jeans when i put my waders on..
  18. Thats my new 8' 5wt VW key...I can still hear her saying "you can't lock the keys in a Jetta"
  19. Shhh... the golf balls are what make the trout grow so big
  20. You don't? .. yeah ya figure with the traffic volume increase on the Bow we'd be dealing with more than 4-5 women out of 1000++ on this site..and they are few and far in between on the river.. Sorta got a John Prine sound to it does'nt it?,
  21. Nice pics, Fall is my favorite time of the year..
  22. where did you demo this line Brent?
  23. thats pretty good, kicks the crap out of any roll cast...
  24. Yeah for sure, natural squirrel..I use variations of white calf's tail and moose .. light wing, dark wing kinda thing..it really is the "charm" on the Atlantics..
  25. I had some Smith Sliders a few years back that had the same interchangable lens systems..worked pretty good..left them on the roof of the car, drove off..was left with 3 pairs of lenses and no frames..LOL
