HEY! That's genius!

That. Is weird. And cool

Dang that red bead rocks that fly. The black one wants more marabou though. Don't be afraid to strap on lots of marabou.

Big fish like big bites, eh?
My smallest nymphs are normally 14's, with the odd 16 thrown in. I've never had the need for anything smaller. I'm sure one day I will, but hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it

DOn't lie, you know you're working that scene
If he's not, we're gonna start calling him brokebackbrent

Plus, picking up drunk first years doesn't appeal to me

Brett,
So does that mean I have to whipe the dust off my 9 footer when we go on our walk and wade, or can a bring out the big sticks and show you what nymphing with a spey rod (even though I am still a beginner) is all about?
*Grin*
Bobber fishing is still bobber fishing, whether or not you're using a steelhead rod
Nice stick, let us know how she performs

Well if I wasn't depressed before, I am now.

I was told this by two COs, and each person in each fly shop in Fernie. They said that it, (Dumbbell eyes), has been illegal for awhile, but has not been enforced because of the confusion due to the way it is written. I was told that they were going to start enforcing it and would continue to enforce it until enough people fought the citation so the Regulations could be changed.
By the definitions for "Artificial Fly" and "Fly Fishing", it is actually very easy to read that Dumbbell eyes would not be allowed. Whether you agree with it or not, it is what it is. Both definitions are intertwined, so if something is not allowed on an "Artificial Fly", it wouldn't be allowed if "Fly Fishing Only" is in place because by the definition, "....using an Artificial Fly....", both come into play.
"...No external weight or attracting device...." can only be understood to mean things such as dumbbell eyes because they do both do they not?
This is exactly why I thought I would bring it up and give them a heads up....
It would suck to get a fine for doing something that you "...never heard of" that not only doesn't make sense, but isn't clearly written in the Regs. If I was fishing somewhere that I'd fished for years and got a fine because in the regulations it said I was required to wear my underwear on the outside while fishing there, I couldn't really argue if it was written in the regs....Know your regulations and if you don't understand something, either get it clearly defined or stray on the safe side.
Being that these rules won't apply to LKs and Max's trip, this topic can be closed so we can get back to the original purpose of the Thread.
Well that sounds like garbage to me. if you read through the post of weedy's on the BC board, you'll understand where I'm coming from. They are PART of the fly, and not external. Look for that rule to be changed in the near future.
I suggest to anyone who is goig to be using dumbbels in BC that if you get charged for it, you would be well to take it to court. as there is NO MENTION of dumbbell eyes in ANY part of the BC regulation. They are tied as part of an artificial fly and are not considered external weights. Any CO who interprets dumbbell eyes as 'external weight' should be fired on the spot.

Larvalace!

Are you kidding? Fly fishing is just a more effective means of poaching. The traditional high cost associated with it used to deter the usual weekend warrior poacher crowd. But now that you can successfully flyfish with a $100 setup, it's WAY easier to get into it. I've seen a hell of an explosion in flyfishing in recent years, and not all of it for the better!
-
Well I was gonna suggest everything you did to the re-tie so you got it! Now play with colours. Black with some red is always killer
-
There are some goofy ones, but I bet for 2008 you will see some major changes towards simplification. It's been talked about for a while now as part of this angler recruitment and retention strategy.
At any rate, it's all in the regs. I could say the same things about some spots in Alberta
-
Interesting thread weedy. I missed that one. Looks like our definition needs changing.....
-
Never done it. Never got the habit

ONE FOR THREEEEEEE FREEEEEEE COFFEEEEEEEEEEE YAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!1

Yes, you can use dumbbell eyes on a fly in BC. Make sure you know which regulation you have to follow, whether it be "Fly fishing only" or "Artificial fly only" Most steel rivers are fly fish only I believe
Missin, I'd like to know who in creation told you that having eyes on a fly is illegal. Cause if it is, it's NEVER EVER been enforced.
-
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHA YES
-
on a size 18 nymph .. ?
Never had need to fish a size 18
-
If they waive and get traded, that ain't doin the team much good
-
The Leafs have the guns to do well in the east. They just can't seem to fire on all cylinders. I don't think trading anyone would have helped anything.

When I bought my 8wt second hand it came with custom heads. A 5' mini, 10' T4, 10' T8, 10' T14 and the original floating tip.
It SEEMS fairly easy to make one's own tips....I may experiment, but really, the setup I have will cover all the water I'll ever fish. Still learning this shooting head thing.

0/1 - is that stuff really coffee? I think the only hope I would have with Timmies waking me up in the morning is to take it this way:
Hell yeah!
Weedy the trick is to pound back the coffee, and chase it with an energy drink. I'm partial to Sobe Arush. Ahhhhhhhh 8am biostats labs

Sure, if 'mature' is a synonym for 'in the closet'
