I'd hate to see the fine that you would receive, if you ever got caught!! Good luck! P

Neil, I'm no "Pro", but I like the SA Streamer Express (though I have chopped 10' off and tied loops to each end. For fishing weighted streamers on the Bow it seems to work better, and if I'm fishing for bullies at Lower K Lakes, for example, I can replace the 10' section and go for the big boys!). I'm liking the quad tip idea that Max mentioned - same concept, but already done for you, plus 3 more options!! Cheers, Peter

Plus all the extra $ to replace those seals or your warrantee is void!! Hmmm!!

Your warranty is longer then one year?! Wow! Usually you get 30, 60 or 90 days max!!

Colin, I hope you win lots in Las Vegas! Have a great b-day! Cheers! Peter

Go see Sam @ A-Plus Tailor on 17th (a few shops down from Calgary Jewelers). You get what you pay for and with Sam, you can't go wrong! P

Euro shoe sizes - 42/43 is like a 9 north american size.

Sun, "most fish"?! Shouldn't all the trout come from a hatchery?! Please clarify. P quote name='Sundancefisher' date='Mar 6 2009, 01:10 PM' post='77979'] Before anyone gets all worked up...Bass Pro did file for the appropriate fish collection licences. They have restrictions as to where and how and when to fish. They have the large aquariums to fill with a variety of species. All the paper work seems to be in order. I have donated the perch in there right now so no perch will come from the wild and most trout will come from hatcheries. Therefore...don't worry. Cheers Sun

Unless it was mislabeled?!

Jay, as Din mentioned, it's the older model (2 seasons ago) and no way, absolutely not could I even get close to 100 yards on it (though on my other spool with SA - Streamer Express, I have no problem)!! As I mentioned, 25 yards seemed to be too much! If you can get more, I'll buy beer for an entire year!! The less expensive option (obviously) is to get gel put on at a shop... Cheers, P P.S. Before anyone says anything SA - Streamer Express is a smaller diameter line!

Gang, I have an Orvis Battenkill LA III and the booklet states that while running a WF6F line I should be able to get 50 (no unit of measure given, but I presume it's yards) of 20# dacron backing. No way! I had 25 yards and the line still catches on the reel with WF6F GPX... I want to put some gelspun (or equivalent) on, but can't find instructions on what knot to use to connect the backing to the line (standard nail knot is not reco'd from what I read). What is reco'd is a "coaxial splice" (http://www.midcurrent.com/articles/gear/cutchin_gelspun.aspx). Anyone know where I can find instructions on how to tie a coaxial splice, I can't seem to find any, or have another reco to connect gelspun to line. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Peter

Seeing that your only criteria is "Walk & Wade", then the mang himself - Maxwell P P.S. Max, we'll all take our cut at a later date

Über kewl!!

Rick, 21 years! Wow, I doubt you could get that kind of quality with the next one you buy!! I bet'cha it'll only last 4 -5 max (if that)!! Lemme know and you can invite me over for a cappuccino with extra love (foam, that is )?! Good luck! P

Nick, Great comments (refreshingly "humble")! Keep up the great work and I wish you success with all your future productions! Tight lines, Peter

I always give this guy from Texas a hard time on a social networking site I belong to.... And enjoy doing it!!

For future ref., get them to list item as $20 and then they won't charge you brokerage! P

Marc, Glad you had a good exp. I'd be curious to see if customs charges you duty/brokerage on the returned warrentee repair... I've experienced both. Please keep us posted. Cheers, Peter

Your Texas ass will be deported one of these days Rick!!

Yeah definitely store your music/vids, etc on an external. But you can't go wrong with a Macbook, even the basic models - but the pro's are WAY sexy!!

Mike (Tungsten) did the cabinets for Bow River Troutfitters, so go down to take a look at his great work!! P

Max, I already have a call in to try out the Beulah 8 ft 4 wt... Will let you know what I think about it... Cheers, P

Gang, I am interested in acquiring a 4 wt this year and was wondering if I should consider a 7,6 - 8,6 or 9,0?! I would mostly use it for dry fly action on the Bow, as well as back country/high mountain outings. Your opinions, experiences and insights would be greatly appreciated. Also trying to keep the cost around $200ish... Presently fishing with a Redington CPS 5 wt that I'm REALLY impressed with (currently on sale b/c of a model change) and know that the Sage Fli series is on sale, also (same rationale)... Thanks, Peter

Yeah, I concur with Marc, Grafton has pretty good (Canadian made) suits and styles at affordable prices. P

I was nailing some HUGE bullies last May on a beige sculpin pattern that I purchased at Russle's. P
