Dope fish man

wow that's sweet
Brain dead easy too. A trained monkey could have made that video
Took me less than ten minutes, exported to youtube -
Takes all the skill out of video editing thats fo sho. All I did was upload 14 pics and pick a song
I think I prefer doing my own, even if they don't come out as slick as this -
Good game tonite

time to stop global whining

they do float better if you clobber them with the wading staff too, makes it super easy to measure
You can rly stretch em out that way too

A real fly shop in Prince George? What about Northern Troutfitters haha I went in there over the winter and the guys in there were useless. There is barely anything for rods in there and the guy gave me a 10 min rant on why he hated sharkskin fly line even though he had never cast it or felt it at all lol U ever fish the crooked river system up there?
I'll bet it was a skinny white kid named Logan. Logy is an expert because he works in a flyshop
Yes, I have fished the Crooked.

Sweet Jesus.

I just guess, but I tell people that if I thought it was a 20" fish in reality it was probably anywhere between 16" and 18". I tend to apply the same margin of error when I read someone's fishing report claiming to have caught 10 fish between 20" and 24". I figure that usually means about 6 fish between 16" and 22". We're fishermen (and women). We lie about fish. It's in our nature.
Well, you can exempt me from your reasoning, I won't be BSing about 20" fish

I honestly do not have a clue why you would leave AB to fish BC
Unless for salmon. Have a sick trip man, take lots of pics
-
Guy was claiming on the BC hunting board a while back that it was very common to catch 30-34" browns in the Bow every day. Claimed the average was 28-30"
I have a soft tape, but rarely use it. I can guesstimate pretty close. Measuring grayling for work last summer though, everytime you caught one you would swear was over 35cm, turned out to be like 31cm

Thinking on this, I don't feel like disclosing who I work for
Hay Brent, where is your shop anyway??
-
Let me paraphrase what I asked:
Should individuals that have an affiliation with a particular product, manufacturer, or retail outlet be required to make the affiliation known to other forum members by way of identifying the affiliation in their signature line?
If it is a professional affiliation, yes.

rickr,
WF line are about distance. DT lines are about presentation. Wouldn't ya think that lines <6 wt. are primarily used for presentation of lighter flies @ closer ranges whereas WF's are used to chuck larger flies @ longer distances.
There is a host of difference between casting and lobbing flies. In casting flies, the mass of the line is adequate to carry the flies/leader along for the ride. Lobbing is kinda like a weight on the end of a string attached to a broom handle. Kinda like two #2 San Juan worms c/w an indicator the size of a golf ball all lobbed by a 2 weight.
catch ya'
Don
You don't need a light presentation to fish a chironomad under a bobber
Everyone wants to lob the big distances. Finess fishing is largely a lost art now a days. I agree, DT's are the way to fly. Be nice if I could track one down in this town
I have a WF on my 3wt and it is getting replaced as soon as I find a DT. -
Thanks for the headsup Kylegs. I do prefer Orvis over TFO though. I'll see what I can find in Cowtown while I'm there.

*Giggle* I buy what I want, and do my own research.

Lookin good. Better than me. Mine always look 'off' somehow. What are you using as a thorax?
-
My best fishing trip ever was one foggy morning in Texas the morning before a 2 PM exam. Priorities my young apprentice, priorities.
Good luck Brent
