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 can't BELIVE!!!!! im going to type this but........ what Tako says kinda makes some sense.
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????

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.

Not a beast, but a good rainbo for this area, and a beaut from this lake, as it's a tough mother to fish. Seconds after donning the BigBadBrent wading jacket she came to hand. Damn thing is a fish magnet!!!!!

I use a 9 foot 3wt and have absolutely no problems fishing small creeks. You can roll cast further and with more accuracy if you have a longer rod. Nymphing is easier with a longer rod and presentation in general is easier. You can mend easier with a longer rod.
I have used TFO rods for years and I think I know how to cast...been doing it for 18 years. I do own several high end rods and I also own four TFO's which are my go-to rods, so to speak. My 4wt Finesse had the balls to yank a 24 inch bull out of a deep hole on the Highwood a few weeks ago. You just have to know how to use the stick properly and it won't break. I've had one break on me over the years and that was when I hit a dog on the nose with it...I'm confident that would've broke any rod.
Kris, no offence man but I was casting with my Finesse at the Little Smoky and I was out casting your Sage...or maybe just the caster
. Let's get out to the Ram sometime before the snow hits.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.

I can't wait for you to have this 1200 dollar rod broken by your idiocy of using a vac rack while driving.
Loop reels are renowned for drags failing, ever wonder what the reason is that no shops in calgary carry loop when they used to?
Performance wise, there are quite a few reels that out perform loops with smoother and far more consistent drag systems, and a reel that won't blow up if you do what a normal person has done at least once in their life..i guess pretending to being a loop pro team member (which your not, but for some reason you keep telling people...), makes you immune to a slip...
Toolman = pwned

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

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
