Secondary sexual characteristics. Some fish retain em, some fish don't. Also, look at the size differences in your examples. I could be said that the silver ones are not yet sexually mature. Also to do with water quality, light attenuation and a bit food. I've caught dark purple rainbows that live under logs their entire lives. They stay DARK because they rarely swim into the light.

Actually, I'm on the very bottom of your list. I icefish. But I also hate using indies cause they're boring. I've even been known to roe fish for springs. But that's all in the past, well except for the icefishing. Because it takes way more skill than flyfishing

Great comments BBT and Lukes father.
Also keep something in mind.....
I did a lot of fishing with bait with my boys back home in Texas. I got soooooo sick and tired of listening to lure fishermen call bait fishermen potlickers (a very derogatory term) and how Potlickers were killing fishing in Texas (which is utter nonsense). Then listening to the new kids on the block (fly fishermen) call anyone who wasn't fly fishermen potlickers, and how they were all killing the fishing in Texas.
Anyway, whenever one groups appears to claim superiority over another (and if you don't think some fly fishermen claim superiority either spoken or unspoken, you are not paying attention) the group being called inferior can get a bit of a thin skin.
Here is the Progression of Purity I have seen on this board, and others:
Dry fly fisherman (especially if he makes his own flies)
Wet/nymph without indicator
Nymph fishing (anyone ever seen anybody on this board get riled up when nymph fishing with indicator is questioned?)
Streamer fishing
(all the above with fly rod)
Spin fisherman using flies
Spin fisherman using lures
Spin fisherman using bait
So I guess we can all gang up on bait fishermen.
Let me know when you're done on the soapbox

Like I commented on the vid, 3.5lbs max.

What. A. Retard.

not sure on that becuase no money is being exchanged between the "guide" and "customer" for the act of guiding. Would have to look into it, of course.
I don't think most of these trips offered are actual "guided" trips, really. Who has a license? Not me... I quit a few years back and even then no guiding license was required in Alberta, but who has a business license, insurance, etc. Bidders had better be aware that most of whats offered here is "at your own risk" type stuff....
I'll look into the BC angle. Hopefully it can be done.
And yet you wonder why BC charges you a wackload to fish per day. It's a guided trip, whether you think it is or not.

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

Hey Max you got anything around April 20th? Or is that too early? We want good fishin if we're gonna drive that far

I hope you aren't eating any of the fish you catch in Dragon - there is a reason they are big.
: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

Hey Kris,
Once you are a fisheries biologist think you could change around the pike regs in this province, or atleast talk some sense into the retards who made the regs? Right now it is asking to keep the big spawning females aka. 3 over 25 inches
(which is obviously not good) Just want to make sure your managing the fish uh-oh I said pike on this forum
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.
-
I'm sure you'll catch much more food with those worms than you could have purchased with the money.
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.

BTW Tako, I think you are a good guy and mean well. Course you are a passionate "debater" and that's fine also.
So carry on...rebutal? DING.....Ready when you are...
We're both in the user group. Remember that.

Well the Alberta government has a history of letting our fisheries run into the ground. It's a fact and the reason why we need Streamwatch programs, because the government won't give their Fisheries managers the proper resources to do their job. I don't think you need a science degree to understand 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.
-
Yeah, lets leave it up to the government...Good idea Tako!
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. -
Din -- looks pretty good to me. The only thing I'd mention is that one of the advantages of using white calf tail for the wing, which is part of the traditional pattern, is that you can line up the tips using a hair stacker. That gives the fly a nice clean look that the fish totally don't care about . Terry
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.
