I've been looking forward to fishing the Skenna again this summer. Here are some of my ties...

I've had ultra light weight reels warp as well. A reel can definitely be too light. Just bought a Hatch for that reason...

Ive lost track of how many rio lines I've bought. Every year I seem to buy at least one. Never had that issue. Cracking ---yes

For years I tied these quite large in the 4 to 6 + range. But after doing a few custom orders for guys fishing the Henry's Fork in 12 to 14 I found that although they are smaller than the real bugs, the trout cue into them without any problem. Plus that size is easier to cast.
I found the same thing with smaller stimulators. Drastically smaller sizes than the real thing can be fantastic at times....

I have a norvice and had a peak prior to that. The norvice is ok but perhaps not worth the money I spent. The peak on the other had as a first vice was a solid investment.

Anyone know if it's open now?

Anyway we can petition for the Bow to be a fly fishing river only!!
Choice of fishing style shouldn't come into. Poaching is the issue. Public caning is the real solution....

Love Frenchman's....

You just need to start giving more away to your buddies ;-)
If you start brewing your own beer I'm sure we can work something out...

Very nice, I could use one myself, I have the same problem. What's the name of the Builder?
Pontillo furniture, WhiteFish Montana... A one man show. Nice guy

I imagine some of you have a similar issue. I tie more than I fish and am constantly running out of boxes etc. Last fall I decided to solve the problem by picking up a custom made fly case in Whitefish Montana.
Three weeks to build it. Ended up driving down as shipping was going to be a bitch.
Love the desk. Only issue is its already getting full...

Would love to try bamboo one of these days...

I wish the news article was more reflective of the shared file. While the shared file talks more about coexistence the Herald article seems intent on creating conflict between the user groups.
It is hard to avoid conflict when one of those user group is destroying what some of us love. Time for significant changes...

These are the people I hate....

CBC was covering these guys on the radio today. Couldn't be a better cause. Save the fish and one of the most beautiful areas in the country (in my opinion). Random camping needs to go...

Played with a few new versions of a stone. Settled on this one. Takes a bit longer than I'd like but like the look.

I agree with Murray. If it was me I'd go to a 4 before a 5 for the versatility on other water and the fact that I prefer a 4 weight for dry (excluding hoppers and stones ).

I have a peak. Solid vice that I've been happy with. Just bought a Nor-vice at the show. Yes Norm sold me. Still adapting to it. Having some difficultly with flies that require tying lower on the bend like midges Might need to get the small fly attachment. Another $100
