  1. If its not poaching, I'm not against it. Thats really the only fact that matters, at least for those like me who don't know more then the professional biologist who regulate our fisheries.

     

    Since I've never fished it, I can't comment on whether I'd would personally find it either, too easy or unfair. or even notice how many were stacked and exactly where. That was my point about novices (whom I incorrectly assumed were the majority there, likely), but a novice would pose less of an impact to fish mortality.

     

    I hope I didn't offend anyone, rickr included. I most certainly wouldn't classify you as a novice. I honestly don't see why the debate heats up. I don't really care if people would condone my fishing if I felt good about it. Its completely possible to find something unethical or immoral, and yet discuss the matter with those who do not. I also don't see how discussing a potential negative impact, whether its falsely perceived or not, is wrong, a web forum is designed for discussion.

     

    Actually I think the same reason some topics get hot, is what makes this site great,..... passion. If you find fishing so enjoyable that you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars towards it, and you like studying little bugs, and tying crazy knots, ect, you qualify for being passionate about fishing.

     

    YAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Finally someone willing to admit they know less than the bios!!!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

  2. Hey Rick and Brian,

    I was not in anyway commenting on ethics of fishing... no comment on your ignorance, Rick :P .

     

    I have my own opinions on the subject, but I'll keep them to myself.

     

    Eitherway fishing at a barrier is wrong and illegal, and I think anglers should be educated enough to know on their own that fishing off redds is wrong.

     

    And earns em a shot to the head from me. Been a few scraps on the chinooks redds out here :)

  3. To be honest, I'd try to get a discontinued Sage like a VPS on Ebay. In my opinion the TFO fishes better than the other rods in the price range but I'll bet you could pick something up on Ebay that used to be in the $500 range. You might even be able to score a VT2 or an old RPL+. Just be careful that you don't buy a custom rod (unless that's your thing).

     

    Ebay scares me. I'm looking there, albeit tentatively.

  4. Insane goaltending from both sides last night, loved seeing Nolan get flat-out robbed there. This will probably be a 6 or 7 game series, lots of good physical hockey. Hopefully the Sharks come out victorious. It doesn't really matter who wins the West though, nobody is stopping the mighty Habs this year B)

     

    You're counting out Crosby's epic team? The east will be a glory battle to end all battles this year. I cannot wait to see what goes down this year.

  5. Being the indecisive bastid that I am, I'm still deciding on a 4pc 5wt to add to the collection. I want it for backpacking and all purpose use. I'm looking at around the $200 mark for the rod. My fallback position is another Launch, but variety IS the spice of life :D So I'm looking at something different. The only 4pc rods available in PG right now are one TFO 6wt, a 5wt Launch and a couple higher end Sages. Read: Business Opportunity in Prince George!!!!! We need a real flyshop!!!!! So I'm stuck with ordering online.

     

    Anyway, point of post. Anyone familiar with the Orvis Clearwater? Looks to be a decent rod @ the right price

    :wacko:

  6. Still four feet of snow in the bush and no sign of runoff. I'm gonna go nuts. Normally by this time I'm slaying em. No fish to be found, they're still in the lakes. At least I can wade now.....
