can I get an amen .. .. ..

hmmm..very helpful..they told me it was weather balloon but i never believed them until now..

Wow nice work Newf

claw my eyes out .. I'm Irish

The two days I spent in your booth at the show last year was enough to convince me your both a little CRAZY (the good kind) Hope to get out fishing with you two someday.

Nice Pics Courtney, That last one is awesome, That crazy Scot staring down a black bear .. poor bear

Anybody have experience with these boats or know someone who has one? These look like awesome boats..

need them..no like them.. yes, at least on larger rods grew up fishing 8wt w/o a butt on the east coast, never even seen a rod with one till I moved west, I like them on larger rods for a little more support along the back of your arm while landed a nice fish and I find they offer more ruggedness and protection when you have you have to lay down or drop your gear. I also like to plant it in my gut when I'm fighting elusive Bow River Blue Fin.

sorry for your loss, all the best to you and yours..

Awesome spiders Flyangler .. Ignorance is bliss, if you knew how may times you were within feet of Widows and Rattlers you would stay out of the southern parts of the province.. nice photos DBT

may I add .. WOW .. some guys need to calm the fack down I fish 5 and 7 .. I have a 9wt 14' but barely know how to cast it and still haven't got the whole spey dealy..

I voted for capital punishment but this is a start..thanks for the post Don

can't wait I got a gift certificate for xmas .. as for your guys who think that big ass building is gonna be full of fly fishing gear, your gonna be dissapointed, Ive been in a few and best I can say is it is very similar to Wholesale Sports only bigger but with more "attractions" (I'll call them for lack of a better word). BPS will not offer much competition to your local fly-shops, but will be a larger threat to places like Wholesale Sports, The Fishing Hole, Campers Village, MEC etc. Its an all under one roof place, not a fly shop. I bet you'll smile when you walk through the doors and say wow thats cool about a dozen times your first visit .. just my 0.02

you can get eyes made of glass that are only a fraction of the weight w/o loosing any size

wow....scary stuff Canada will probably buy that sub as a fixer up'er

don't know that one but I bet it would do good "up the coast".

Definalty looks like a staple pattern, last summer was the first summer in 7-8 years I never made it back to the coast, and missed out on the best salmon runs in years, since I've been alive as described by a few, but I keep telling myself it was just to rouse jelously..

I've seen 'em with a blue throat similar to a blue charm, but don't remmeber a full hackle like that one. Never fished them in my rotation, even though the Humber is pretty much where I cut my teeth.

Humber magic .. but ive never seen one with a front hackle before

nice suit under 5 bills is a tough find, Moores could'nt help you out?

geez dude close one, glad to hear you were not seriously injured

cool puffer fish.. we use to haul the craziest things from the ocean. we had a game called "mystery fish", cast your line out, let it sink and start a slow retrieve or jerk it along bottom. once you hooked a fish you had 10 seconds to guess what it was, when and if you landed your catch there was a point system based on the type of fish (more rare the fish more points you get) and a bonus if you guessed your catch correctly. With what seemed like an endless list of fish species to catch and a near perfect 100% hook-up ratio made for hours of fun.

hafta agree with the Birch man...been a great winter so far in Alberta, other places not so lucky

I don't plan on getting back till march sometime..I'll be in touch

hey Mike, I try to do a 25-30 % water change with a quick vacuum every 3-4 weeks, but have been slipping on it a little since I've gotten busy in the field but with no noticable changes in water chemically or visually. Ive been thinking about getting a salt tank for the better half so she could have some of the "pretty" fish she sees in pet stores. shoot me a PM next set of days off and maybe we can get together to check out the different set ups.
