Oh, and Danny Williams will be paying full market value for the assets he buys, which is why the oil companies are willing to sell a portion at this time. Nfld. is fully on the hook when the costs increase and oil prices fall.
Someone should read the MOU on Hebron(730 million barrel), 110 million for 4.9%...........plus $3.50 per barrel for processing............................hardly market price, you do the math at 6 billion start-up. Also 4.9% on White Rose expansion (214 million barrels) for 44 million (1.3 billion expansion) plus $3.50 per barrel, again market price.......don't think so. Weather NL is on the hook for incresaing cost.....................might be in the fine print, but I haven't seen it in the MOU and difenitly not in the press release. I'm sure Mr. Williams is aware of fine print....................unlike others.

After spending all of yesterday on the river throwing clousers to slinks and residents browns with a wimpy rod, my shoulder is about to fall off. Anyone know of any GOOD sites that explains and demos the single haul.............I really need to learn this.
-
I gave up on hackle and folding back and adding fibers for legs on nymph.....................still catching fish......................might be catching more with them..........................but i don't know that now do I.

its worth it dude..book your seat!
hopefully I'll be able to take you up on that.

I was a little late starting, around 28 I guess, never even seen a fly rod until I was 19 or 20. I don't even know why I bought the crapy tire special, but I'm glad I did. I whipped the water with crystal river orange hoppers in the summer, catching the odd ounaniche now and then, didn't even know about fly fishing subsurface or what a nymph was. I found FFA/FFC while surfin the net and lurked for a year or so reading every single post for a while. Pretty much I would have to give credit to the forums mentioned as getting me started.

I had four beautiful hours on the Waterford today, -3 and sunny. Landed only four fish, but two were my best ever, and wouldn't you know I didn't have a camera with me. The bigger one took the clouser as I stripped it back along a under cut, jumped twice and I got a new PB. Nothing compared to the Bow River browns but a very nice 2 #'er

how much is a plane ticket to YYC???

If you look inside a a piece of split shot (at least the one I use South Bend) they have three teeth in there which trap the line and lock on. If you squesh the sh!t out of them they will not lock down the leader..........a gentle pinch works much better.....................no pliers.......... no teeth.
Not sure it this will work with you guys that can get your line moving a warp speed, but it works for me.

Speys and Dees are also in my interest group and fit into this category as well. For me the interest really came back big last year while out in NFLD and I did some tying tying then that was not the greatest by any stretch but they were tried by friends and did account for a few fish.
If you make it out to the cabin the year, check out the Blue Charm fly shop........................the owner can tie a mean salmon fly.
-
I really want to start, but don't seem to have the time, maybe next winter. I been at the vise alot this winter trying to get together a decent set of fishing flies, nymphs, wets, dries, salmon, etc. Hopefully next year I 'll just have to tie replacements instead of a whole inventory.
I have been lucky to run into a couple of guys that can tie a "pretty decent fly" who have been quite helpful over the last 6 months or so.
-
I agree, not much of a deal on the lower end rods............but what do you do.................fish a $250 launch or store a $200 graphite stick. I'm just happy I didn't have to wait 6 weeks.
-
I'm after hearing that the repairs/replacment take some time to complete and that you may be out of commish. for up to six weeks. So instead of sending my rod to Sage, I just bought a new tip (suspect most brakages are tips) over the phone through their spare tip program. Cost was $50 (4pc Launch) just like the repair and I received it two weeks after purchase.
-
very nice..........that reminds me................ I gotta get back at the salmon ties.
-
Second winter for me.
I'll be up for this one............if we can pick our own patterns.
-
I'd be up for one, but a surprise fly swap doesn't work for me. Without a local material shop geared towards trout, material/schdule could be a problem.
-
thanks will do

Will I've been down about a half dozen times on a few different stretches of water, hard to be exploring water in the night. I've been picking up a few fish now and then, still haven't caught anything of size(14" being about the biggest so far) but a few of the locals have said that a couple 4 #'er and a small Salmon have been caught. Its still a little early but by the end of Feb fresh fish should be showing up. Nymphs (size 14/16) have been the ticket so far, pheasant tails, copper Johns and Tako homage pattern whatever it might be called. Pending weather, I'll be out Saturday morning before work checking out some new water.
Heres a pic of typical fish I've been getting so far. They seem to have a few scales compared to the ones from ealier in the month.

This spey lingo is way too confusing, way to many options in lines.
Watched Rio's modern spey video the other day with Simon G, While I enjoyed the parts with him. These West coast guys with their snap t or z with a half perry poke on river right with down stream wind standing on one leg while scratching there arse was a bit confusing to a single handed who fishes the other side of the river when the wind is blowing the wrong way.
