last may I replaced my pentax wg2 with the olympus tg2. I have been very happy with my choice. good underwater shots - much brighter than the old one. But the feature I value the most is the on speed - press the button and the camera is rtg, no wait, no hesitation, first pic almost simultaneous with the turn on. Second great thing is the video - press the easy to find button on the back and you are taking a vid. - no fumbling with dials or worse menu's. The frequent used stuff - flash control, timer, iso, white balance, is on screen and easily usuable and intuitive. two things that are not great - only 4x, and the panoramic scene seaming process is slow. I spent quite some time researching this and after 9 months of use, I would make the same choice. Definitely not the cheapest, but the value is there for me.

welcome to the addiction

not a plumber, but did a couple cabins. capillary action will draw the solder up into the joint - against gravity. But you need to have the parts clean, fluxed AND you must heat the joint itself. you can tell when the joint is hot enough, cuz the solder melts when pressed against the joint - and the flame is not pointed there.

loved it

I concur with the demo kits with the caveat that you have to be able to use the spey rod first. If you are totally new at it, trying out a bunch of lines wont help. generally for the novice, heavier lines are easier to cast, but and it is a BIG but, first few times in your hand will only get you frustrated. There are a bunch of good spey instructors around (Max, Toolman and Dutchie come to mind immediately but there are many others.) I would suggest you arrange with one of them, or someone from the shop to give the demo's a try. On my deer creek / with a grain window of 350 to 55, I am using a 400 skagit and I use it for streamers. On my 3/4 amundson I am using a 250 gr snowbee switch line, and use it for nymphing. the amundson doesnt like the big streamers, and the dc has mending issues with the thick 400 line. OK, I have the mending issues. Have fun, and welcome to the dark side

The questions seemed legit, and relevent. no issues with the link

spray with isopropyl alchohol - the leaks show - as per the simms video above only issue is if you have a leak in the neoprene booty. then the only solution is a full fledged booty call. lol

Ya, I think it is all toast. Might as well pack up the stuff. Or better yet you should sell all your stuff, Ya, thats it. Everybody sell. Bargain basement prices. I will even take some of it off your hands.

Nope, was thinking about bagging a few and mounting the bikes on the trophy wall.

Charge an annual random camping fee. no camping within 100m of the river bank Max stay same as the campsites - two weeks there should be a bag limit on quadders - two annual tags. Although unlimited harvesting if they are in moving water.

I just bought the Olympus TG2. And just love it. The picture quality is amazing. the controls are intuitive I really like the one touch video - big button on the side facing you, and really visible - press and the video starts, AND FAST!! almost no perceptible delay, from hitting the on button, and ready to take a pic bright and sharp pics - with the lens big, the low light pics are superb. The reviews on line rate it very high as a waterproof - usually #1. Did I mention it was FAST!! downside is it is a little heavy ( I had a pentax wp before) and only 5x zoom. So far the battery life has been very good. and recharging is easy - plug the usb connector into a power slot. 30 mins and go. Car, computer , outlet, whatever. All that comes at a cost, and it is a little pricey. Talk to the folks at The Camera Store.

not spo sure it is under bow tribs - upstream of Bearspaw, the regs specify "& tributaries" no mention of tribs that below Bearspaw. "from Ghost Dam downstream to Bearspaw Reservoir (not including the reservoir), & tributaries (except Jumpingpound Creek) l Apr. 1 to June 15 – Trout limit 0; Mountain Whitefish limit 5 over 30 cm; Bait Ban l June 16 to Oct. 31 – Trout limit 1 under 35 cm; Mountain Whitefish limit 5 over 30 cm; Maggots are the only bait allowed and only in the river from Aug. 16 to Oct. 31. l Nov. 1 to Mar. 31 – CLOSED 8 from Bearspaw Dam downstream to Western Headworks Diversion (W.H.D.)

welcome

really? you think that the lowlife scum who break into vehicles for the drug money or opportunity are on the web?? If they have that kind of initiative, they are into B&E's. Not saying that you shouldn't be careful parking, just that posting that question here is not in any way bad judgement

And you can pretend that you are fishing a mini switch rod

I put the simms studds into my old style Korkers last year. So far so good. they portrude about an 1/8" through the plastic, but the underlying bed of the shoe itself seems to mold to the protrusion without damage. I tried the hardware store screws - not good - they lasted about 4 trips - and were finished with a walk in FCP on the pavement. However, because they were soft, I could grind down sp they did not protrude. The simms were almost impossible to grind down (using a power grinder too) so I decided to give it a try without.

Maybe coordinate with Calgary Hook and Hackle. They did an annual one in the spring. Not sure if they have one on for this year, but the more folks out, the better.

Thingamabobber. Tried the ones that pop and slide when you get a strike cus I use a long leader with the spey line and it is troublesome landing fish with a lot out, BUT they kept popping on the cast, sooo back to Things

Another with a mustang - manual inflate
