  1. Forgot to say, check your policy. On my policy after damages exceed $10000 the deductable is waived, funny how the insurance company didn't voluinteer that info.
  2. Thats what happened when my rental property (duplex) had a sewage blow out. Myside blew out causing damage to the ajoining home, all damages to the ajoining home were cover by their insurance who inturn sued my insurance who inturn raised my insurance premiums. The kicker is the other property owners had a insurance preimum hike too due to the claim. In the end insurance companies won, and we got the poop cleaned up. Just like property stolen from vechiles coved by your home owners policy. one claim to the auto policy for damage to the vechile, one claim to the home owners policy for the thief and two rate increases due to double claim for one break-in.
  3. Nothing puts the trout down like an otter or two. Be thankful you don't have seals working their way up the rivers.................they may go up but they don't come down.............
  4. Most trout water i fish is small to tiny, and on the big water I usually fish the pockets cus everyone else (elbow to elbow), camps in the well defined water. Tryed a indy once, didn't like it, don't use them.
  5. Don't see the "Recession" effecting my fishing and my gear buyin', currently eyein' a 12'6 6wt Z-Axis, planning to pull the trigger on that prior to June 1. Got rid of my truck thou and picked up a seasoned Outback that should help cart me from river to river in search of Atlantics a little cheaper. Was tryin to get a trip to AB this fall, don't think that will happen, but I wasn't really expecting it to. I am cutting back in other places, just not the fishing.
  6. Why I didn't fish while I was in southern alberta is beyond me.
  7. Peak...................standard and midge jaws
  8. I'm good right where I am.......home province.....fishing is great...............and the best income/cost of living I've every had.
  9. is that a peacock cossebom or something from the RAT series...............can't really see if there is a herl bodies tucked under the peacock collar.
  10. pretty sure they are the same fly...........just different people calling them different names.................I go by Humber magic.
  11. Humber Magic...............if your fishin NL...................Half & Half if your fishin' NS.............???
  12. can i play
  13. Why............you won't get to use them..........new baby means no fishing............two mean minivan............but you need not worry right now................due to your upcoming 6-9 months of forced abstinence .
  14. 1. See Dad land his first Salmon and maybe hook a few more myself. 2. Fish with my boys more this year. 3. A big fresh October brown, thick water would help.
  15. Not a green machine althou it sure looks like, I'm sure the patteren was based on it...........this one is called Myron's Glittler Bug.............with a substitute of UV Ice dub instead of some sparkly chenille, that I couldn't find. These are size 8..............but I'm tying those up from sizes 6 thru 10..and maybe a few 12's.
  16. Most damage was a complete tear of my ACL. Most pain, was falling down the stairs with my then 4 month old girlie in my arms. Hard to believe how hard you hit when you don't get a chance to brace for it................wool socks and hardwood stairs don't go together. She got scared, I got fractured ribs.
  17. Mass producing these guys................goona add a hot pink and orange as well.................the Chart is the only tested color and works well. Might be worth trying for steelheads
  18. For sure, height was the main problem I had. Keep your arms low and the pain between your shoulder blades will disapear.
  19. Camera (850), Chris Mann Hairwings and steelhead, Fly line, boxes, tying gear......etc. Can't wait to start some of those patterns in the book...................not until new years thou.........I promised.
  20. My then two year old tryin to cast a fly
  21. Yeah for Salmon, but also in smaller sizes for searun and resident browns.
  22. Heres the hairwing box for dad...........................done tying til the New Year.
  23. Yeah it is ...................the searuns seem to like them....................at least they did last year. Those are tyed on 2457's but really you need a 200R or 1260 to tye them right.............atleast how I seen them anyway
  24. Kinda did that with my truck, it went like this Me: Honey I want to talk to you about getting a new truck She: I don't want to talk about it Me: OK Two days later She: Who owns that truck parked in our drive way Like you said good times
