lol thanx for the reply rickr and anyone that would fish in 0c/32f is not a wimp in my book...:-)

hey LadyStrange do you have any kinda info on the times of the tying there at the show or is all day long kinda thing. I looked on the sportsman show web site and didn't see any kind of schedule for the Hook and Hackle group. When is the open house going to be? thanks again for the reply. Dann

hey Everyone, thank you so much for all the great advice. I am a local from the Pacific Northwest and still have family in Oregon and Washington. I am self taught and have been fly fishing for close to 20 years. I remarried last year to my lovely wife who lives here but is orginally from Medicinehat. I have a 11 year old step daughter and have been teaching her how to fly fish for the last year. I am a biologist and have worked mainly on natural gas pipeline jobs in the states but am looking for perm work up here. I had to go back to the states this last year for 10 months to work since my vistor visa was almost up and I had not found work here in my field. There is not very much I would rather be going then fly fishing and look forward to getting out there and getting my line wet and catching a few. My wifes family goes down to Beaver Mines Lake each summer to camp/fish even got my brother in law interested in fly fishing as well. I love it down there. so hopefully that explains a little bit about me and my situation. So anyone else here in the Bio field?

but when does it get warm enough to start fly fishing in Calgary. I am new to the area and I am a winter wimp without good winter waders. Any good places to get a pair. I went into the new warehouse sporting store down south and its a really nice store. Kinda reminds me of Cabelas. Is there a fly club here in Calgary as well? thanx for the help
