Yep!! That sounds about right!! LoL P

I was a little surprised that they gave him the option of shipping via USPS - no brokerage with them!! So that's good to know! P

Yup!

Yeah he did mention that he has seen my car there before, so I presume if I park there again, he'll slash my tires or break my windows!!

Yes thanks Chris, I have this doc. What info is required to send to srd?! Google map ref. or more detailed land description? The other issue, is that this particular land owner has blocked off access to the bridge - which I know he cannot do (oh and has barbwire across the stream as well, which is a no no, as well)!! P

I know this has been discussed previously, and I don't want to get into the story. We met an angry land owner (or son of the land owner) tonight and (to make a long story short) he said we were not able to fish the stream from the bank/high water mark as their land was deeded (historically), etc., and they owned everything except the actual stream bed (and thats how we needed to access the stream and fish the stream... I would like to confirm this. How do I? Can someone list the steps on how I can research this (or assist me in doing so)? *edit* I understand the act and the info from the AB Gov't, but what I want to research is this particular plot of land... Thanks, P

I used to tie to the bend, but with some of the cheaper flies/hooks (that are purchased online or from local discount shops) the hook bends out quicker if you get snagged up or have a bigger fish on... With the exception of SJWs or large streamer hooks I now tie eye to eye! An SJW (or streamer) is always my point fly and I do hook fish with it... Not so much with the middle fly, though... P

Seems pretty heavy compared to some other reels on the market in a similar price range!

Interesting, though the size they list is too big for me!!! P

Love to see you use the view finder underwater!! LoL jk P

I am just finishing painting our house (cedar siding) previously painted with an elastomeric paint (about 10 years ago). Painted with a stain this time... I had to do at least 3 coats as we went darker over lighter and that's what we needed to cover the lighter paint). Now I'm finding in quite a few spots the paint is bubbling (air bubbles)?! What has caused this, and what can I do (pop the bubbles?!)? Will I need to do yet another coat? Thanks in advance. Peter

Good point Marc. maybe if a small group of fly anglers could go that would be pretty proactive move (anyone from the Hook and hackle club interested?)! P

Thanks for the compliment Brian, but I am not able to do this and had the same concerns all of you had... I do think that you should point these concerns out to the organizer as maybe they didn't realize that people had these concerns... I have replied to my buddy that forwarded this to me to pass along to the organizers... Have a great weekend all! Deb and I are off to fish the Adams!! P

Don't shoot the messenger boys!! Maybe you could contact the organizer and ask?! P

Don't forget the "treats" they leave!! P

Depending on where you purchased it, some places (like Fish tales - not sure of the others) save your purchases on their POS computer and can pull it up. P

Try this, http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-hel...A010064992.aspx P

Yeah and attaches an anchor to it, as well!! P

Mike, Just save it as a PDF. It's super easy on a Mac, haven't done it for a while on a PC, from what I REMEMBER you might have to download a specific app, if it didn't come loaded the app to begin with. P

Yeah, sorry I forgot... Actually it was filled with rocks! P

Craig great if you are on crackbook, but what about us "old school cool" guys that are not?! I guess we are SOL, eh!! P

Lornce, Make sure you keep track of the number of things they charge you for, i/e rolls of tape, boxes, etc. These are things they like to mis-count by A LOT and they pretty much pocket the cash!! P

I bring with me two small pieces of throw rug grip underlay (similar to the jar grippers you can get at some stores)... one above the stuck pieces one below and twist. Works like a charm. P

Just a general FYI. Mustang M.I.T. Inflatable PFDs are currently available at MEC for $150 - that's at least $50 less then anywhere else! Of course they offer the manual inflation only but it still a great price! P
