[Reel Purchase (and Rod)]

I took my flyfishing lesson yesterday....today I'm going to buy my rod and reel. Went to wholesale just to take a peek yesterday....the guy wasn't helpful at all. He was more interested in trying to sell me "pretty" rods cause I'm a girl, which kinda pissed me off...I don't care what it looks like how does it work!! I wanted to cast the rod outside to see if I liked it...he wouldn't let me. I wouldn't buy a $200+ pair of sneakers without trying them on first...I was kinda thinking the same with my rod. Is this normal that you can't try stuff out before you buy it? Anyways I think I'm going to go with the TFO Signature series rod with the Pfleuger Trion reel....cause so many of you have suggested it.....thanks for that

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brownee it's to bad you had a bad experience with wholesale iv'e found that somtimes you get the guy who knows his stuff and sometimes you get the guy who is only thinkin about getting home at the end of the day. I like to go there for flies cuz they'er a good price. They might not be the best quality but i don't catch alot of fish so they last a long time for me. ;)ps i cant figure out how to separate my text from the quote text.

[Fishing In Waterton???]

NOTE: Wall lake is in b.c so you need a bc license and they are there checking often. You can buy a b.c license in waterton. Wall is fun waterton lake is good to anywhere a stream feeds into it some good white fish and in the early season some big lakers hang out in these spots.

MTB you don't have very good luck with the weather! first bullshead and now k-lakes you are hardcore man. But at least the fish never give you any problems.

Birchy YOU SUCK! for making me laugh at that.

[Loosing Lots Of Big Fish]

this is an awesome post with loads of great info thanks for sharing guys. You've helped me, so i'll offer one of my secret spots. First you go to the Bow river then you go to that spot along the bank where the fast water meets the slower current and it makes that nice shiney seam. Now in this particular spot i like to use my go to fly huge black clouser with a small trailing brown and white clouser cast out, retrive, set hook and apply info in above thread. I hope you don't have trouble finding this spot it's by the big tree with the leafs on it and theres a grassy bank to.(but seriously i'll stop being a dork now and just say thanks you just gave me a great fast forward to landing more fish)

[Inner City Bow]
