bulltrout

or even some footballs?...those are always good too...

anyone else got some beauty cutts with colors?...

just a few from the weekend outing...hope you all enjoy...

you guys got nothing on me...i work outside for a living and working in shorts with no shirt, i look like a damn oreo cookie right now (at least my butt glows in the dark at night so i can see the way to the fridge...lmfao)...it's sad but kinda nice when you come home to A/C and beer....

don't forget some big ass streamers for them bulls as that's their staging time of year...(i'd recommend bunny bugs, clousers, zonkers, and wooly buggers) ...

i reported the incident to both F&W and the local RCMP detachment...as for him pressing charges, methinks that would be a stretch as he didn't see our vehicle...from what it looked like, it wasn't a major cut but definitely sobering as someone said...i never really wanted it to go so far but rocks chucked at dad and i kinda pushed me over the edge...completely not like me either...dad said he's never seen me so PO'd before...GOOZ FRABA chants could be heard on the walk back downstream...lol

so there I was, enjoying a beauty of an afternoon on a quiet trib with the step dad...fishing's great and we're having a great time...we come up around the bend to see a guy and his girlfriend fishing the next hole so we pull up our lines and head over to shoot the breeze...all good until i ask what he's using (i ask cuz he's spinnin and not reeling...bad sign here)....he says he's using salmon eggs and marshmallows...so i look at my dad, and i can see that look in his eyes that we fly fishers get when somethings awry on our stream...i ask the guy if he knows the regulations on the river and he just suddenly snaps, talking a blue streak about his rights and stuff and then has the nerve to tell me to go back into the bushes and my dad i to go f*** ourselves...i should've just walked away and called the CO's but no, i got mad and ended up getting into a shoving match with the guy...dad goes in to break it up and the guy's girlfriend starts beaking...she throws a rock but lousy aim...after some more arguing and shoving, my dad and i start walking away to make some phone calls and a rock glances off my shoulder...i'm about to turn around to confront them again when i spot his salmon eggs in their glass jar at my feet....i pick em up and just turn around and bean the guy right in the melon with it...he goes down and blood starts pouring...we start to leave and as we walked away, i heard threats of charges, etc...funny how good days can just go so bad so quick eh?...probably not the best way i could've handled it but oh well...

the length is good from what i see...just make sure you epoxy the gaps to strengthen the fly...depending on your preferences, try tying on straight eyed hooks....it helps the fly ride properly...good looking clouser though...

or just fish streams and lakes where casts only need to be 30-40 ft. max...

i would but i'm cheap and hate paying to enjoy the wilderness... that and i like my privacy and solitude in the mountains...

come down south for a weekend trip and we'll slay some...

the day you see me out there on a long weekend is the day you see dave stop buggin chris about his mom....i hate being disturbed at camp by quadders ripping up and down and all around as well as the obnoxious drunken teens hooting and hollering and littering so i can't stay in camp and if i go to the stream, odds are i'll be hitting pounded water and i don't wanna be putting extra pressure on the fishes or my patience...sometimes a weekend at home is good...that's my two cents...

and using cell phones, and using lead based products, and drinking, and....well you get my point...lol

i feel your dad's pain...

ya tell me about it...i'm still buggin kale about his lack of technological knowledge...

i'm just curious...with everything that causes cancer nowadays, can you still flyfish from a plastic bubble??...it's getting to that point where we can't even do what we enjoy without worrying about getting cancer...crazy...

he owes me more than that cuz he didn't take any pics of my big 'uns...kale can vouch for me on this one cuz he doesn't know how to take pics on the digital camera...so i think a 3-0 is in order instead... and for the record, we were fishing in BC around Kelowna for all those interested

that fish must've made quite the migration to get up there as i've never fished that river you were on...lol quick question dave...why's your right forearm bigger than your left??

amazing i still let him fish with me...lmfao

thought i should chip in my two cents from the weekend as well...

dave's favorite band and music video OF ALL TIME!!!! http://youtube.com/watch?v=ipZDG6__Zfc

believe it or not, they are actually considering a tag system for bulls similar to that of walleye in the upcoming years...sad to hear...

dammit i hate those stone fish...i'm gonna land one of them one of these days if i can ever turn one up off the bottom...

is there a consolation prize for those who purchased an EXCESS amount of tickets and didn't win?...lol

when tying M.O.E. flies (mother of epoxy), i use scrapings off a burnable CD and mix with the epoxy before applying to give a "bass boat" finish to the head...
