WHAT?!?!?!? I call for mutiny against Capt. Weedy, he's obviously delirious from the scurvy, .. give him one in the poop deck and send him to deck 5 with a bag of lemons..

Aye, was only out 4 times last year..four days in a row in Breckenridge CO .. work seems to get in the way of life something serious past couple years

OK LYNN THATS OVER THE FRICKIN LINE GIRL..

<gag> I dunno what it is with Newfs and vienna sausages, potted meat (dunno how they can call it meat) & baloney..

It's bad luck to set sail without a Newfie eh .. especially with all those women onboard and you will need a translator for your guide anyways

what about the rod racks? I got a set you can have cause ive lost faith...just lemme go a round with Tigers old lady and they are yours ..

don't taze me bro!!!! give cops an alternative to guns that can be just as dangerous I think thats why you hear about deaths cause they are using it way too much and its turned into a percentage game..

ya know..this place is way more fun when people expect you to be an ***hole

dunno buddy..I was born on the banks of the Miramichi (not literally.. about 200 yards from in a hospital) but moved to the Rock when i was like 2 so Im gonna claim dual citizenship on this one since a Caper ain;t nuddin but a Newfie who never had change for the ferry .. I'll let you two have it out .. but I'll warn ya those herring chokers are wirey bastards

how would you know if you've only been here since Septmeber .. he he he he he

I was quite impressed with Mcains loser speech too..

wow there is some genuine hate on here eh? .. negativity gives me heartburn especially when fishing is involved..and all this talk about steelhead feeding and *hit .. you talk like those anadromous trout are the be all end all of sportfishing a benchmark of sorts .. im sure steelheaders on the coast would get a get kick out of this thread .. guys who fish them all the time .. Im sure they got the what when and where figured out much like a good population of this community does the Bow .. no matter how good/bad you are at something there is always somebody 100 times better/worst. Fact is..sea run anything can be difficult to catch at times and other times difficult to keep off your fly .. so go chase your Christmas steel when they are fishing well..and preach how you are the master cause you done well on a three day trip and why your at it pull your head out of your ass and try and realize when the fish are feeding hard a newb with a broomhandle, string and a paperclip could probably land a fish..fishing anadromous fish is 80% timing and 20% luck

I'd believe it for sure, my dad was a radar tech in the RCAF back in the late 60's and went to Biloxi for a "training" seminar that was suppose to be three weeks long, after a month, he moved my mother down there and stayed for 4 more years as the instructor. He was actually employed by the USAF and had to ask for a discharge in '74 when my mom became pregnant with my sister. not to bad for a crazy canuck .. ("stupid" Newfie at that) .. but hands down the best military EQUIPMENT

Hundreds of miles eh?.... so are you trying to say that by next summer we're all gonna have to take up kite fishing on the Bow to catch fish .. ?

you gonna step up or keep thinking up *hit to add to the same lame post .. thats three edits and still strugging .. maybe you should stick to taking pictures of hoppers .. I got a species of hopper for ya GRASS!! never ever seen a hopper jump 200 feet into the middle of the river where all the fish are BTW - Benny Goodman was the king of swing oops EDIT : DING DING DING!!!

all this coming from a man who last year claimed he did'nt wear waders because the fish were only a rods lenght away..now that he can half assed cast that big ass stick of his (which is 10 times easier to cast than a single hander anyways) all the fish are holding in the middle of the river oh how the river changes suppose next season you'll need a 100 yard drift to catch any fish if you take up centre pin .. as for the superior intelligent fly fishers .. I know who you fish with .. and intelligent does not exactly come to mind .. do I have it right, is this how this thread is suppsose to work? .. I have a hard time being an ***hole

After some research, I found that in a basment setting in our climate a chiller should not be nessesary, I turned off the heat to the room in the basement and even in July when I filled the tank and began it circulating the temp reached a max of about 65F. For filtration Im running two Fluval 403 canister filters which will do about 300 gph each, the water has been nothing but crystal clear and Ive yet to clean the filters since the fish have been in there,ammonia & nitrate levels are non-exsistant. I circulated the tank for about 2 1/2 months, conditioning it with beneficial bacteria (cycle) and nothing else. The fish started eating about 10 days after introducing them and now seem to have an insatiable appetite, I usually only feed them once every other day.

no fly testing as of yet, although I have a feeling those two will hit what ever you put in/on the water .. however Ive been fooling around with crickets on a string (trying to condition them to eat from my hand) .. and they won;t go near it if its not dead drifted

Well, after a long busy summer which included a new house and a new job, I finally got around to setting up the trout tank. 125 gal tank with two rainbow trout one 6" and one 8". They have been in the tank for about a month or so and are doing very well, living on a diet of high protein fish pellets and and even more feeder crickets, (it's so cool watching them pound the crickets off the surface). They are the newest addition to the family and provide great motivation watching them from my tying desk. I hope to post some footage of the fish feeding in the future. A special thanks to board member Bobr whom without none of this would have been possible..I hav'nt forgetten my friend I still owe you big time.

Lookin good Doc..Thanks for the post

have had similar stuff happen between my home (XP) and work (Vista) machines...copy stuff to a folder on my home computer, bring it to work copy and it works fine until I need it again..then its gone and I look like a fool..Bill Gates and Peter Norton are high on my "jackasses of a lifetime" list.

he he he he ... black fly little black fly, always a black fly no matter where you go, I'll die with the black fly licking my bones in north Ontar......errrr...Labradorio in north Larbradorio.. good luck brother....the flies in that region are ..... Biblical

Sorry BigBadBrown..he made me an offer I could not refuse... The man is awesome Thanks again Bobr

call me crazy if you wish .. Brasso, used for cleaning brass works wonders..or try Mcguiers PlastX (used for restoring scratched or hazed vehicle plastics). .if the scratches are real deep start with 2-3000 grit sand paper if you can find it..
