2008 National Fly Fishing Championships
Tako replied to johnbransfield's topic in General Chat - Fishing Related
I just finished reading Randy's report on FlyBC. Great goddam work guys! I have some plans in the works to tackle you next year in Williams Lake!! Great job guys, you'll smash em at worlds -
No, it's not. You're wrong. Buy a rubber net and make us all happier.

Trout are the pussies of the fish world. They are not tough. They WILL die if you handle them roughly, removing the 'slime coat' Roughly includes rocks and grass. Respect the damn fish.

Don't compare this shight to salmon, as salmon migrate hundreds, if not thousands of kilometres to spawn, where as most alberta bulls won't migrate more than 100km to spawn. This fish may not have been on a redd, but I'd bet a case of Lucky he would have milked if you ran a hand down him. Fish em while they're migrating, not while they're milking. I prefer to shoot bull moose with their peckers hard, call me a hypocrit.

I ain't all dumb

I have to laugh at the guys who B&C about paying the money. I can only list about six CW in the whole province. There's more, but thats all I can hink of. I have fished none of them, in 21 years of fishing in BC. Go fish somewhere else!? If they made me pay $20/day to fish the Oldman, I'd go to the Castle. If they made me pay $20/day to fish Stauffer, I'd B&C (lol) and go fish Prairie. There's other rivers than the freakin Elk. Diversify, dammit. If BC tried to make me (as a resident), pay a fee per day on some river I wanted to fish, I'd tell em to stick it and go fish somewhere else. There's a billion rivers and lakes out there, go fish em. But hey, if you like crowds, you like crowds????

Gas Prices And Your Fishing Vehicle
Tako replied to birchy's topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
700km/65L tank is about normal for a mix of hwy and city mileage in my 4cyl 2wd Chev S10. All I need really. 4wd is not the requirement people think it is. When I put my 12ft aluminum/motor/gas in the back, I barely notice a difference in mileage. -
Back to school. Nice car man. Thread needs more fish porn, I'll get to it later

If You Were Me.. What Would You Do?
Tako replied to birchy's topic in General Chat - Fishing Related
I'm back home now for good. Next year!? You are a better caster, by far. You also have a 6' 2wt which you'd use on the creeks I'm thinking of. You're also sortof comparing apples to oranges, 4 to 3. Combo it up with you being a better caster and having a heavier, longer rod, and yeah, you'll whip my ass any day of the week. I was admittedly undergunned on the L Smoky in rod length, but the water was uber high!? Everyone can have their damn opinion, mine is that if you want a 3wt, you want a short one. -
Toolman = pwned Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh forums

Lamson Velocity. My buddy got the Z-axis and topped it with the Lamson and she is one sweet shootin rig.

If You Were Me.. What Would You Do?
Tako replied to birchy's topic in General Chat - Fishing Related
No more hockey talk on the fishing forum. It depends on what you're using a 3wt for. They aren't designed to fling lots of line, they are designed to shoot with a delicate presentation, at short distances. If you're high-sticking, you've still got plenty of height to do so. I use my 3wt only for small creeks, which would be absolutely horrendous if it were longer than 8'0'' I even have troubles with it at 7'6'' sometimes. Also, the longer it is, the harder it is to make accurate slingshot casts. Again, depends on what you're using it for. In regards to TFO, my buddy broke two in the span of 32 hours, trying to pull a snagged fly out of a bush. My Sage Launch 3wt was able to tear that bush out by the roots (no shittin ya) while he stood there and cried. They may have a great warranty (so does Sage), but I'm willing to bet you'd absolutely love an 8'0'' 4pc Launch for not much more than a TFO. TFOs are beginner rods. Once you can cast, you need to do yourself a favour and move up to the big leagues. -

8'9'' is waaaaaaaaaaaay too long for a 3wt. Look for a 7' or 7'6'' -
I have an olympus for work, and it sucks. I have a Pentax Optio as my personal camera, and it rocks. Pretty much all I can say, having used both a lot. The olympus just takes crappy pictures
