Thanks for the info. I wanted to refill the small containers mainly from an environmental impact view - man there are a lot of empty 1lb cylinders in the dumps. When it wasn't easy, I essentially abandoned the idea. However, the sight of all those green cylinders still offends me.

I bought one of those gadgets, but could never get it to work. Something to do with the new valves on the newer big tanks. To fill the little bottle, the unit needs to be inverted - the big tank on top, upside down. doing so has the effect of closing the valve mechanism of the big tank. The old tanks without the auto safety overfill device still work tho. If anyone has an easy work around for the new tanks, let me know. Thanks.

Thanks Greg for organizing this. As always a lot of fun, great people, good weather. Regret not getting there earlier, but still was good. If earlier, would have liked to throw with some of those cannons on shore. Good to meet and put names and faces to some of the folks on this board. Tom

I bought a new Chevy Avalanche And returned to the dealer yesterday Because I couldn't get the radio to work. The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated. 'Nelson,' the salesman said to the radio. The radio replied, 'Ricky or Willie?' 'Willie!' he continued and 'On The Road Again' Came from the speakers. Then he said, 'Ray Charles!', and in an instant ' Georgia On My Mind' replaced Willie Nelson. I drove away happy, and for the next few days, Every time I'd say, 'Beethoven,' I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said, 'Beatles,' I'd get one of their awesome songs. Yesterday, some guy ran a red light And nearly creamed my new truck, But I swerved in time to avoid him. I yelled, 'Ass Hole!' Immediately the radio responded with, "Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Ignatieff Leader of the Federal Liberal Party" Damn, I love this truck...

tip # 122 Never argue with the voices in your head

Can't there, no space, all storage full Nationally as well

great service, knowledgeable staff - 1) Fish Tales 2) SouthBow good service, some knowledgeable staff, some not so much - Fishin Hole and Wholesale Sports (flyshop anyways) Tents - MEC

Ooops, didnt read the thread title - the WW 1134 is probably not a steelhead rod. My bad

Dont forget the Amundson WW 1134 - some consider it a switch, altough I think it is more of a full spey. and its price point at Wholesale is about $250. And I really like it, throwing a AF 300 gr compact scandi.

Done

anybody using the Allen reels allenflyfishing.com? Heard some good things on the speypages about them, and I was thinking of trying out the 5/6 on the amundson 1134 wind warrior spey Tom

I had excellent support from TFO. I called then here in Calgary, then dropped over with the broken rod part - they replaced it immediately. No hassle, friendly and cooperative. Contrast that to Sage - took 3 months and $40 to get the replacement tip.

I can only attest to the paramount rule after drowning a BB - DO NOT TURN IT ON JUST TO CHECK!!! And no it was not warrantied, B*starts have some compound that turns red when it gets wet embedded in the device. Since then, MEC has a couple of cheap and good containers that work well for the BB,

nice fish, nice pics. I'm housebound recovering from surgery, so my only life is a vicarious one - so keep the pics and stories coming. Its a lifeline, a thin one, but a lifeline. Thanks

As always, great stuff Thanks T

Went in 2001 with my son. Wonderful trip. We were early July. Not crowded at all - did a Monday start. At most we had one other group per campsite, and 3 of the five nites we were alone. No grizz sightings, but fresh sign on the trail. Saw a small black bear, and lots of moose. We hit awesome weather. I would go again in a heartbeat. Fishing was mediocre.

When I was using my electric ( trolling 14ft lund in SK) I was very satisfied witht the battery from Costco - tried other marine batteries over the years, but it was best. lasted longest, held the charge throughout the day, and the price was way less than I found anywhere else. Don't even think about a car battery, unless you like rowing

At Sunday church the local Vicar explains that he must move on to a larger congregation that will pay him more. There is a hush within the congregation. No one wants him to leave because he is so popular. Fred Smith, who owns several car dealerships in Southland and Otago, stands up and proclaims: 'If the Vicar stays, I will provide him with a new Holden every year and his wife with a Honda mini-van to transport their children!' The congregation sighs in appreciation and applauds. Sam Brown, a successful entrepreneur and publican, stands and says, ‘If the Vicar will stay on here, I'll personally double his salary and establish a foundation to guarantee private secondary school education of his children!' More sighs and loud applause. Agnes Jones, age 88, stands and announces with a smile, 'If the Vicar stays, I will give him sex.' There is total silence. The Preacher, blushing, asks her: 'Mrs . Jones, you're a wonderful and holy lady, whatever possessed you to say that?' Agnes's 90-year old husband, Joe, is now trying to hide, holding his forehead with the palm of his hand and shaking his head from side to side, while his wife replies: 'Well, I just asked my husband how we could help, and he said, 'Screw him'.

I was testing children in my Dublin Sunday school class to see if they Understood the concept of getting to heaven. I asked them, 'If I sold my house and my car, had a big jumble sale and Gave all my money to the church, would that get me into heaven?' 'NO!' the children answered. 'If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the garden, and kept everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?' Again, the answer was 'No!' By now I was starting to smile. 'Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave sweeties to all the children, And loved my husband, would that get me into heaven?' Again, they all answered 'No!'. I was just bursting with pride for them. I continued, 'Then how can I get into heaven?' A six year-old boy shouted out 'YUV GOTTAE BE FOCKN'DEAD..........'

the marraige of technology and tradition. cool

Awsome vid, Thank you, Mr Jensen
