Take a look here and I think your questions will be answered.

Glad to hear it Pythagoras. Not a fan of TFOs. I hear they're nice rods, but just don't appeal to me. BBB must be nice to live in a town where they will carry most rod brands I can't find anything other than Sage, GLoomis, Dragonfly and the odd TFO, St Croix or Loop

Need to retire my old 5wt St. Croix. My buddy was saying I should look at the Scott A2. Anyone familiar? Seem like nice rods. I was thinking about taking the easy way out and buying another Launch, but it's always fun to put a new name on the rack. Any other suggestions in that price range? ($250)

If you shorten the marabou tail you'll get less 'pulls' and more hookups. Good lookin fly

I think I just need practice. But I'm impatient. Thanks for the tip Max

Who, if elected, will pump the most money into SRD?

Big whitefish (>14") can be deboned by fileting easily.

Please note the time of my confusion

Pssssst don't drink a 5th and post on forums. Noone knows what the hell you're trying to say!

Maxwell (& others who may have the W30), Picked up the Optio W30 back in October. You're getting some smoking photos out of yours. What settings are you using for general fish photos? I haven't had much time to play with mine yet, as I've been trusting to my old Canon because she's what I know. The pictures I have taken with the Optio (it's mainly my video camera @ this point) have been hit or miss. Spectacular or junk. What I'm wondering is if it's really setting sensitive, because I took some pretty awesome shots in the fall with it, but can't seem to make it perform as well in this wintery wasteland called BC. I'm sure I'll get used to it over time, but I'm hoping to speed the process. Settings? Manual or autofocus? What does this beast like? Ya got any pointers? Pce

Couldn't barely stand the next day Moral of the story: the walk to your fishing spot is shorter than the walk home and that puddle IS THAT DEEP. Hijack off....

I think ya'll gonna be real surprised when ya'll get up to the gates and saint pete dips some cope an says "ya'll git in the chev we goin up ta the big house" Good one Taco

Ah common. Takes what, 7 hours for a guy in good shape to do 25km? I know I walked 47km in 11.5 once, but it was mostly flat.

Long story short, I asked the same question last year and got a photo-essay reply. The hike kicked azz, if you like hiking your sack off for the sheer joy of it. The guy who responded to me never caught any fish, as (I am told) the trail comes in to the EAST side of the lake, and during the summer months the fish are not present in any great numbers in the east end. I was told by the guy who should know that only EARLY EARLY (late May, early June) in the season are the fish present in good numbers in the east end of the lake accessible by trail. I'd say go for it. The hike is something worth doing by itself. I'll do it someday. But I'd be wary if the bridge is out. Early June is probably not the best time to be attempting to ford the river

Attaboy. I just found out my MT tomorrow has been rescheduled for wednesday. Hurrah

How ya'll holdin up? I pounded my GIS midterm this morning. Got lots to worry about in ecological analysis tomorrow.

No. The best fishing is whenever you make it

What can I say. Don't make me choose between my woman and my flyrod!!

Me? Hell we lost our battle with the beetle two years ago.

Moral of the story? Women are a waste of time

30-odd KM is the official distance. But it's essentially backed up to the Whitemud rapids halfway to Vanderhoof, and above the Whitemud it freezes bank to bank every year anyway. So basically it's frozen to Vanderhoof and beyond, with a little baby channel open from my place to the Fraser. But the Fraser is frozen bank to bank just south of town. Right now its stopped flooding, but man alive it could be UGLY come spring. I'm a couple hundred feet over the river, so if it gets to my doorstep the whole town's underwater

Some of us lack the bow river in our back yards. My river is ice jammed for 30-odd kilometres right now. If I couldn't icefish, I'd probably have hung myself long ago Longest stretch I've gone without catching a trout in recent memory is 32 days Thought they were gonna put me away

You need to start icefishing

I haven't caught a trout in 17 days :blink: Help

I disagree with the fishing analogy, but he's got it pretty darn close.
