Let me know when you're done on the soapbox

Like I commented on the vid, 3.5lbs max.

What. A. Retard.

A tip from me: Stack your squirrel tail.

Beauty. That's all ya need., I stopped tying hackle on mine long ago. Works just as good without it. I would work on cutting down your buildup around the bead next. But you will ALWAYS have buildup on the PN. Here's what I use as a PN

Don't get an HP.

:rolleyes: They're actually becoming stunted. And the sewage spill was over ten years ago...

2/7 common Brent pick up your game

I hate your signature. Happy birthday

Silly Kyle. Pike on a trout forum. When we goin goose shootin? I don't know jack about pike but I'll go out on a limb and say they're similar to walleye? So you got two options. 1) Remove some mature adults (who are possibly too old to spawn, however a stage rarely reached in fish) to avoid excessive harvests on juvenile fish, which are your future harvestable fish populations. As long as the adult harvest is sustainable and you're still meeting your spawning success rates, you're all good. 2) Remove a small number of juveniles (as you seem to prefer) and keep the big boys for guaranteed spawning success, which can potentially lead to an overpopulation of stunted pike? The two management approaches will be used differently under different circumstances. I think. I don't know jack about pike though. I'm more or less guessing based on what I know about slot sizes, which ain't much.

Karma. I never ate that many fish anyway. No big loss.

You aint gonna buy this. But I can't eat fish. I developed an allergy to eating them 2 years ago

Ya no joke. Anyone with two pennies to rub together had better be bidding on that auction considering I've given up food for a box of Toolman's worms.

Self taught @ age 12. I don't cast like anyone you know.

We're both in the user group. Remember that.

Then pull your head out and remember that the MANAGERS (the people that make decisions about fisheries, the ones with the brains) have almost no say in their budget allocations. So if in fact you are complaining about BUDGET allocations, don't blame the managers, blame your tight fisted conservative government, and LOBBY for more SRD dollars.

GOT A BETTER IDEA!!!??? I don't see MSc after your name bucko! THAT KIND OF TALK PISSES ME OFF

One final word before I go back to the bushes. Why not let the fish managers manage the fish? There's a reason for these people you know. They're good.

But is very satisfying to those of us who tie OCD style and ALL HAIRS MUST BE LINED UP......*twitch* I don't think you need to make the wing longer, but another vote for a bigger hackle.

Al, the reason for this is likely due to forums like this. FlyBC.ca has a tendency to concentrate anglers on particular waterbodies, irrelevant of how well the BC boyz thing they are hiding their secret spots. Really, there isn't whole lot of room to fish in the southern interior. Also, it appears LICENSE SALES have gone down. I can't really convert that to a decrease in angler numbers though, as I myself believe there are more 'anglers' (unlicensed poachers) on the water. Probably due to BC's ever increasing license fees, which I personally consider to be fair. Money to keep a good thing good has to come from somewhere.

The outsider's perspective is that this is a good thing

Ummmm Al, you might not want to compare the Bow to the Fraser snag (floss) fest for sockeye. I *think* they're two very different entities!

I'm more asking than saying myself. I know little about it. But if it follows a similar trend in population growth as the rest of Canada, you won't be experience a growth in angling license sales alongside it. My hypothesis anyway. Now if the p value of the ttest is less than .05, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and you're right. GET ME OUT OF HERE.
