  1. After a long day in a canoe, take the time to store your rods in their carring cases. Do not I repeat do not lay your rods in the canoe along with a 15 lbs anchor for transport in the back of your truck. Does anynody know if Sage will replace a tip portion if you are a complete idiot.
  2. stickers, lots of them.........kids love em, hat, hoody and tee for me, i'm guessing the hat will be adjustable and not fitted, as for the hoody large usually works.
  3. congrats on the Boy.
  4. Wow..................your twenties must of been a lonely time in your life according to the mug I seen in Flyfusion (great job btw)...........I'm 30.
  5. check out the BBS instead of the MA, big different in spool price. I have two BBS and a MA love them both, I got a hell of a deal out of Wilson's in Toronto, free shipping over two hundy.
  6. Three Newfoundland Summers, so lets say two weeks by your standards.
  7. I know another dumb SOB, atleast you didn't go buy another reel, spare spool and flyline for both before you found it. Oh well, looks like Dad is getting a 6wt set up for fathers day.
  8. There was a Newf, Scot and Irishman sitting in a tavern on foreign soil, when the discussion of how good the pubs were back home arose. The scot was the first to pipe up claiming that his hometown pub toasted the house on last call every night. The two lads said that was pretty good but, nothing compared to back home. Paddy was the next to chime in stating that his waterhole gave a free pint for every two paid for. The Scot tipped his hat to Paddy while the Newf smirked in victory and laid claim to the prize winning pub. Will back home at the pub I visit you can drink all night long, not pay for one and then go out in the alley and have sex as many times as you want too. The Scot and Irish lad both look at each other and burst into laughter, F'ing Newf can't you tell the truth just one time. Now did that every happen to you, Newf? Newf responds, NO, but it happens to my sister every Friday-Saturday night.
  9. Use curved blade scissors instead of normal for heads...............but I find a blade the best
  10. Okay your and Lynn win........Heli and The Italian Stallion, can't top thaat
  11. my girl
  12. I've been home for two week and run ragged from work, home renos, and getting another house really for sale. So I decided to get up a 5:00 instead of sleeping in, grabbed the fly rod and visited a little pond that I haven't fished in over 10 years. 10 years ago this pond was full of 10-14 brookies, soon found out that wasn't the case anymore. Not a sign for the first hour, then a trout rose three time about 20 feet from me, switched to a skeeter, but no luck. I keep fishing the area for another 15 20 mins and headed up to the little brook that came into the pond. I sighted (actually scared) 3 fish, 2 feet from the water edge and watched them head into the alder lined bank. rigged up a black bugger and hooked 4, landed two (released) in the next 15 minutes. Headed home shortly after that, picked up tims for everyone, breakfast is ready and the wife and kids are still in the bunk. Sorry pics are so small
  13. Its wasn't a No. 2 Hex pattern with a 30 knot head wind was it. I really suck at casting but a small dry it what I cast best (distance), presentation is another story.
  14. I've been lucky so far. After having to move my head to the side a couple times thou, luckly I have the reflexs of a mongoose.
  15. Wow.......................... a keeper for sure. My wife is 8+mths along, I think she would kill me if I mentioned that ahe should come fishing with me. I'll give her a break since this is our third baby and the oldest won't be 4 until the fall.
  16. great looking boat
  17. Nice one Brownstone, but that hurts a little. I'm home, but to busy to wet a line between renos, two kids and the wife being 8mth+ along. Maybe late August, maybe.
  18. I was applying for a Texas DL and filled out the form. Took it up to the lady and she informed be that I had filled it out wrong because I was transferring from a "Territory of the United States", to which I reply that my DL was Canadian. She argued with me that Canada was a part of the US, and that if I didn't believe her I could ask the Governor of Texas George W. Bush. With the two armed DPS officers standing directly behind her, I figured I cut my losses and informed her that George W. Bush was the president of the United States. Amended my application and saved $20 buck for the transfers of my DL instead of a new application.
  19. Lived in Houston for 5 year and got many of strange looks. I think it had to do with the Newfie Brogue and that no one knew what I was sayin. It just killed me to slow down that much.
  20. If something like that happend I don't think I'd be around to tell the Story. According to the spike in heart rate i had the other day when a beaver sounded the alarm while my back was to the water. I though something came out of the tree line directly behind me, little bugger got me the second time too.
  21. Send Dryfly a PM, that how I got my hands on a copy.
  22. beauties
  23. I second that...............just start reading it early in the day, you'll be wrecked for work the next morning if you don't. I'm not a reader by any means, but I finished that one cover to cover one night.
