  1. The eastern coyotes on the Island are huge................avg about that of German Sheppard....................the ones I've seen in Alberta I first mistaken them for a fox.
  2. Nice Fatback, I might give them a try for highwater this year.
  3. I'm sure Jerry is a nice guy, I have gotten excellant service from him on serveral rod and reel orders. But to charge $4 for a bug, $4.50/$5.50 for a hairwing & $5.50 for a bomber (I kinda agree here, I hate those SOB's) is a little much. As for quality flies I'm sure they are, atleast they better be. As for quality hooks, Diiachi 2441 (Salmon standard around here) are only $18/hundy for a dealer no matter what they sell them for retail so I don't agree there. As for expensive materials, unless we are talking feather wings the expense of a fly are in the hook. Don't mean to rant, but I just can't believe there is a market for such highpriced flies. I can see emergency restocking but not a focused market. But then again hes been in bussiness for a while, and I'm still doing something I hate to put food on the table.
  4. Maybe when parents stop being scared of their kids they may start to teach them something.
  5. Jerry Doak is also charging $5-6 per fly so either the girls are getting "fair trade" or he is making a mint.

  11. Moose chased to exhaustion, beaten by boys A Newfoundland Wildlife officer shoots a distressed moose in Deer Lake Aug. 10. (CBC)A young moose in western Newfoundland had to be shot by wildlife officers on Monday after being chased to the point of exhaustion and beaten with sticks by three boys on bicycles. Police said they got a call Monday afternoon after a young moose collapsed in a backyard in Deer Lake, 50 kilometres northeast of Corner Brook. "The moose was obviously in distress," said Deer Lake RCMP Sgt. Jacques Morneau. "[it] could not get up. It tried several times and could not stay on its feet. The animal was exhausted to the point it was near death." Witnesses told police that three boys, all under the age of 15, were to blame. "[They] were chasing that animal on bicycles and hitting it with sticks," said Morneau. "Apparently they chased it to the point of exhaustion." Morneau says the scene was disturbing for him and his colleagues. "The young moose was calling for its mother in the yard there," he said. "I mean, it's heartbreaking, right? Two officers came back here. They were totally disgusted." Wildlife officers put the moose out of its misery with a rifle. Morneau said the police investigation is continuing, and the boys could face charges. He said they are known to police.
  12. Now if we could only get the same support for rape & murder.
  13. I used the vapour barrier tape you use on the outside of houses. Put it on the indisde of the waders and it workd like a charm...............$14 dollar a roll at Crappy Tire and you got a lifetime of supply of patches...................and you don't have to wait for drying time...................I also use it to patch holes in my alumnium canoe..............two years and counting.............I wonder why nobody wants to float the Gander with me in my canoe.
  14. Very nice...........wish I could get those heli rate round here
  15. if you don't want it........send it my way...........we are dying out here.
  16. magic........million dollar smile..........never too early..................I started my boys out before they were three.

  18. After my gear got stolen last winter I'd bought 3 sage launch' and an z-axiz when the dollar was par and prior to the sage price hike..........33% on the launch.....and 25% on the z-axiz...........seems that it was my best investment of the last 2 plus years...........................maybe I should of bought the whole rack............I'll have to spin that to the misses.
  19. couple more for you..................and what do you know, my email addy from the last place I worked is still valid..........lol
  20. Worked Fridat thru Monday with the exception of Sunday afternoon. Did manage to get my oldest son out for a hour of so on a urban pond caught a couple little browns. Not exactly what I was planing.
  21. May 22 will be 10 years working for me, I'm on my 22nd job (contract) been laid off twice, longest break between gigs has been a weekend. Never been one to go down with the ship, the "the patch - NL, TX & AB" has been good to me.
  22. Can't tell you where to fish but I can offer some advise on the kiddy part. Do not bring a rod for yourself. I usually take my two boys(5 & 3) and I only bring one rod between them, after many fustrating outings trying to manage both of them with rods 2 to 3 times as long as they are I learned my lesson. Doesn't help if they seen star wars recently and break out in a light saber duel with two $500 rods either. And what ever you do, don't forget the snacks lots of them.
  23. I was gonna get an extra tip for ZA 10 for an 8 but at 175 US my launch will have to be my back up and the warranty will have to do.
  24. all those NHLer's must be shooting the puck from there wrong side too..............image how good they would be if they just did it the right way
