    oh ya!!!!

     

    40+ inch pike thru the ice beats the hell out of flyfishing anyday :angel:smail:

    I'm not sure I should admit it but a couple of my hard core fly fishing friends and I will be hitting the ice this winter. Of course if you ask them they will deny it....

     

  2. i know i'm going to be dating myself here...but i'd hafta go with diana rigg - the original mrs. emma peel on the avengers tv show.

    something about a karate chick in leather jumpsuits beating up the baddies left an impression on me as a wee lad.

    she was smart, cool, and the real bonus is, she's a self-described 'fly-fishing tart'.

    i dunno how she'd look in the jumpsuit at 70 though. waders probably better.

    Here is a recent picture http://i.thisislondon.co.uk/i/pix/2007/06/riggPA_243x266.jpg

     

  3. Totally agree with tihs comment.. I have never waded there, but only floated through, it does make you want to check it out...but the mass amounts of people down there will keep me miles away....that is part of the reason I go fishing in the first place..of course I also love bagging those amazing trout too!

     

    My opinion if people are okay with that type (busy as a shopping mall) of fishing and there are no studies showing significant harm to the fish then let people fish.

    If they bane it in the regs I'll of course respect the regs and be in support. On the other hand you'll probably see me there come spring unless something changes.

    I like it. If fact I might scam it....

     

  5. You either accept that humans are at the top of the food chain and that we kill and eat other things, or you believe that we're all equal. You can't bitch and moan about how cruel hunting is and then stop off at Superstore and pick up a pack of pork chops for the BBQ.
    I don't think you should compare fish with a grizzly. For example, no one would argue that an insect life has equal value to a trout. A reasonable person understands there is a difference between an insect and a fish in terms of mental capacity, ability to reproduce quickly, longevity etc. By the same token you can't compare a bear to a fish. Nor should you compare a bear to a person.
  6. cold hands: Man up

     

    icey guides:mucilin, petroleum jelly..nothing lasts long though..

     

    chemical engineers could engineer a dispensing device..most of the chem Eng. i know can't even mix kool aid you seek a chemist

    Agreed. You do need a chemist not an engineer, although I think I can handle the cool-aid...Tried most of the suggestions so far. Guess I have to pick ice for the next few months....

  7. I carry three sets of nyoprenes and one set of regular ski gloves. After fishing for a while when the nyoprenes get cold and ice up I switch to a fresh pair. The ski gloves are for the walk back to the truck.

     

    If someone has any suggestions to keep ice forming on your rod I'd like to hear them. The commercial products don't work very well....
