Wondering if there is anyone around that could thin out a grip (rod mounted) for me. I would be looking to get this done upon my return in the new year, rod is back home. PM if you can help.

not me. I hit Calgary at 4:45 last night after drivin' x-country. After seeing all the traffic I hit the keg for a steak and a couple brews while waiting for things to die down.

I'm gonna be startin a short term contract in YYC in a couple weeks. Will a streamer & nymph rig along with neo wader get me thru Dec & Jan.

I've used Icky's for some drys this summer, flies were great, no problems what so ever. Currently waiting for them to restock their streamers supply so I can send for a order.

Just running for me, a few road races here and there, current training for the hyperthermic half marathon in Feb.

I once worked with a guy "Carly" in Brownsville Texas, I think he was from the gulf.........................he spun a yarn like that every single day, but the guy in his stories wasn't ralph........................it was Carly.

I'm spinin' a few simple salmon flies, tryin' to get the proportion right before moving on to some others...................why I always start with the last flies I'll use is beyound me. A couple silver tips & green butts....................I like the claret/gold combo.................gonna try this for the first time this year

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.

Nice Fatback, I might give them a try for highwater this year.

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.

Maybe when parents stop being scared of their kids they may start to teach them something.

Jerry Doak is also charging $5-6 per fly so either the girls are getting "fair trade" or he is making a mint.

pex is a DYI dream come tru

Can you retake picture with credit card turned over please.

I'd show you the wood roof rack I built for my canoe on my Outback.................but you guys would call me a redneck..................it cost me $15 bucks instead of the $230 that the dealer wanted..........rails already on my wagon.............atleast the wife won't drive my car now

Nothing really................street addy of my rental.......pretty lame I know.

Number 1: Amen Number 2: Not by me

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.

Now if we could only get the same support for rape & murder.

Have been looking for a 790 RPL for a while now and can't seem to find one. I'm thinking about putting one together but I'm also having problems finding a blank. A couple of guys I been talking to have told me that the VPS and RPL share the same blank (no problems finding a VPS) can anyone confirm this? thanks

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.

Very nice...........wish I could get those heli rate round here

if you don't want it........send it my way...........we are dying out here.

magic........million dollar smile..........never too early..................I started my boys out before they were three.

wow............who do you get to tie your fly on your tippet..................
