Try Eckardt's Tecumseh Mountain Resort. http://www.telusplanet.net/public/eckardt/ They have cabins and a campground and were pretty reasonable (even have a stocked pond). The guy that runs/owns the place was nice, though a little arrogant... P

What if a sponsor has a specific brand that they carry/sell? Are they still allowed to list a particular brand of products?! P

Yup!But depending if it is new or used you might still have to pay GST...

I just pruchased a Snowbee XSD 780 cartridge reel at Southbow.. Haven't tried it out yet but they had a demo for me to try (7 wt line) which I tested on my 8 wt rod and it seemed to balance it nicely. The other thing that intrigued me with the XSD 780 is that it comes with 5 cartridges, is disc drag & large arbor at a decent price of $200!! I can let you try if you like (but not before i do ) P

x2!

Check out my xs Warrdell's, as well: http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-sp...QAdIdZ196033841 Peter

Checks in the mail, I hope!! LoL P

I think that's what a business license will cost you?! P

So Mike, You are finally are admitting you are a geek!! P P.S. Welcome to the club

Didn't some quack on Oprah predict the world would end this year?! P

Yeah nothing about his reprimand! P

Yeah I would say that's a better way to put it!! P

Maybe I've been missing many of the "get togethers", but I don't remember any prizes etc. at any of the one's I've attended... Even at the last river clean up (2 years ago) the only board sponsor that donated door prizes, etc. was Country Pleasures and the 2 other fly shops (and 1 angling shop that carries fly stuff) that donated weren't even sponsors of the board as were two of the "big box" stores that donated, as well (granted a few of the board sponsors weren't around back then)!! Just say'in!! P

Rob, What does it say on the Coconut? P

Having recently traveled to India, I'd much rather recover on a beach in Goa then with all the naked fat asses on "Wreck"! Plus the food and customer service were AMAZING - can't say that for Vancouver (consistantly, anyway)!!

Kewl, need to brake in the new 8 wt rod and reel! Still waiting on some line to come in (maybe in today's mail?!). Will let you know! Cheers, P

Rick, A good friend of mine from Idaho - I lived with her and her ex when I attended school there (she now lives in Golden, BC with her partner - who is originally from Austria). They are both professional Mtn guides (internationally renown)... Anyway, he had his hip replaced in India!! The exp. was unbelievable (from what he's mentioned)! All for CDN $7,000 (as he would have had to wait 3 years in BC to have it done locally and his legs are [obviously] his livelihood). He was even interviewed on CBC when they did a story on medical tourism. Anyway, the cost included consults with his canadian physician (x-rays other related diagnostics), travel, surgery, and recovery (on a beach resort with private nurse, private room which incld: high speed internet and sat TV and private kitchen - not sure he was able to enjoy the beach so much, however ) . I think the whole thing was 3 weeks. I can pass along his name and the link to his interview if you want... Obviously this can be a very controversial subject with pros & cons on either side (I'm not debating either, just providing info of someone I personally know that had a VERY positive exp.)... But knowing Tom (my friend's partner) I know for a fact that he has not embellished his exp. at all! *Edit* British trained surgeon, as well! P

Bob, Not yet, but if you go, lemme know, I'll join you! Cheers, P

Yeah I was going to do that, but it interfers with tying (in some circumstances, IMO). Plus I want to get some midge jaws. P

I was wondering why all of the links were "broken"!! Thanks! P

Yup (though the Guide is slightly longer)! SST = 454 g (16.03 oz) Guide = 606 g (21.4 oz)

Will do! Thanks! P

Neil, I have a bunch... Depends on the size of the cord you are using... Lemme know... P
