sometimes I carry a hydration bladder on really warm days when i wear a vest..mine is 2L and it can definatly weigh on you when its full .. and will warm fairly quickly and can make your back uncomforably cold..Ive also tryed freezing 500ml bottles half full on their side and fill the remainder just before you head out..i find this system better for distibuting weight and keeping your drinking water cooler for longer..

it hurts to get rid off a vehicle your attached too..sold my 98 ram last spring with about 400,000 k on it .. seemed like the responsible thing to do at the time cause as it was starting to cost me money in "little" things .. she was loud and smelly .. but i loved her..

Thanks, don't really know to tell you the truth..but it seems pretty durable..I have a tendancy to use what i can find on hand when im tying

your going to hunt trout redds? :lol: have a good trip..give a red a big sloppy kiss for me

alot of competition for food amongst the locals

ummm...yeah..hopper dropper, foam hopper or similar with nymph(s) underneath it .. very popular, not sure what you mean by tube fly in regards to a hopper .. i know of tube flies..i.e. a small tube with feathers tied around it, you run your line through it and tie on a hook or another fly .. mainly used for salmon or steelhead fished down and across..pretty popular with the two hander fisherman..

cover everything....slow,fast,shallow,deep, if you get a follow with no strike..change it up, Bulls are naturally aggresive mainly due to the fact food is scarce in their enviroment so they will eat when given the opportunity..most times.. .if you know there are fish in a certain place and fish for them for awhile with no strikes, best to move on and try someplace else..your best chance at some action is to present to a "fresh" fish..

have seen a few "sick" looking bulls come out of there...half of them are afraid to eat I think .. there are fish in rough shape everywhere, perfectly normal, survival of the fittest .. don;t forget, that fish is older than the average pet dog

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

sssssssssssssnakey ..

Was pretty bad in Didsbury yesterday could'nt see across the street for the most of the day, woke up this morning to a nice blanket of snow probably one of the more significant snowfalls of the season.

very nice, looks like a nice day

Cool video..looks like a good trip

That's terrible news, all my best to you and yours .. get well soon ..

LOL..cheaper than a net .. I was always taught a fair fight right to the shore .. Ive "lost" many fish right at my feet that could have easily been scooped..it bothers me not.. (i don't wanna start the net/tailing arguement again..please)

Roll casts with large loops will keep your rig from changing direction (which causes tangles) .. strip line and raise your rod tip until your rig is near the surface, wait half a second for the line to relax and continue with a regular cast, practice this and incorporate a little haul on the forward cast and you will eliminate 90% of your tangles.. I fish an indie, swivel, worm, and two nymphs pretty much exclusively and tangle very little .. one thing to watch for is that your rig does not land across your fly line, if this does happen recast or mend quickly or as your rig sinks it will tangle across your upper hardware .. weather it be your indie, worm or whatever ..

Awesome..looks like a good day, I love meeting strangers on the water and fishing the day together..that gull looks quite content settled in on that post..nice pic

Thanks all..got out today with dad for a birthday fish..hooked a few and landed a single birthday fish, a chromey 16"er, finally got dad into a couple gooders 18 and 20 both beauty Bows, thick and full o spunk..can't compare to the fish he put me onto over the years but made my day anyways .. he's headin back on sunday .. two weeks goes so fast ..
