damn...you beat me to it...lmao

at least mine sounds somewhat cool...Alphonse Bruno for my real name and Luca Giordano for Dr. Bull Trout...

prove it...and then i'll sick him after you...

oooo...sweet...white rabbit strips...

BTW...there will be no easter bunny this year...

i present to you, The W.T.F. ...9 inches of awesome, hard to cast pike fun... perhaps a sign of things to come? Hook: TMC 300 #2 Shank: Homemade Weight: Buttload of .035 Lead Free Wire Thread: Pink 6/0 Tail: Pink and Chinchilla Magnum Rabbit Strips Tail Adhesive: Shoe Goo All Flash: Pink Krystal Flash Body Segments: Chinchilla Magnum Rabbit Strip Body Joint: Size 3 Split Rings Eyes: XL Sea Eyes w/Stick On Prismatic Eyes Eye Ring: Size 3 Split Ring

if you ever want to see the action of a streamer, tie one up, tie it to a short length of line, and play with it in the bathroom sink (not recommended to play with streamers in the bathtub as there may be accidental foul hooksets )...

on the old FFA forum, i publicly placed money with BCBoy and Jeffro on the Canucks/Ducks series of last year's playoffs...jeffro held up his end of the wager and payed me out on the bet but FFA shut down before BCBoy was able to fork over his side of the bet, which left a sour weltching taste with me... i'm sure there are some witnesses from the FFA forum on here that can attest to that one...so the question remains, who is BCBoy and where is he if he's not here?...

the question i have now is how does this affect the fishing tomorrow...

usually small (#16-20) black or dark brown hare's ear nymphs are all i need...you could also use a prince to imitate as well...

guess he should get rid of that .270 so he can stop shooting himself in the foot ...where' my money...lmao

geez your gettin up there eh... how the hell do you put up with us young punks?...

now i gotta give this one a try.... http://www.invictaflies.us/Articles/clipped%20thread.htm

if he is, then he owes me some money from a bet we made during last season's NHL playoffs between BCBoy's Canucks and my Ducks...

let's see what you guys got...your ugliest, nastiest, meanest, largest, hardest to cast PIKE FLIES...i want your flies to scare the *hit out of me ...entries in by Wednesday, February 27th by 10 PM (Mountain Standard Time for those who don't already know )...have fun...

PM sent...

definitely watch your step, not just on the bow either...took a wicked spill yesterday below the dam...today my knee looks like a purple and green grapefruit...

my cortland 555 is still kicking after 2 full years of heavy use year round...

your bugs certainly are coming along nicely dude...

not necessarily tiana...see pic of "big earl"... lol

it all depends on the life stage that you are trying to imitate and at what depth...emergers coming out of the surface can be imitated in smaller sizes using a greased line technique or under an indicator...for midges that are rising from the bottom of the body of water, you can fish with an intermediate line...or you can dropper (from a parachute trico/griffith's gnat) an emerger pattern that has a larva pattern droppered off of it...it all depends on what stage the fish are keying in on...there's no real "set" way or setup to fish midges as long as you are fishing the patterns with minimal movement (hand twist on stillwaters, etc..)...try playing around until you key in on something that works...hope that helps...

touchy subject for ya greg?

see previous thread... http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?showtopic=2386&hl=flava my guess is that these guys that need 12 ft. rods or larger might be overcompensating for something...lol jks

that second pic is slick bud...
