bhurt

If you put people's pay on a percentage of their sales then it becomes commission thus making the sales people more agrressive in selling you something, thus making you complain that they are beeing too pushy or trying to sell you something you don't want. Personally everytime I have been in WSS here in town I leave with absoultly no problems as I come in their with absoultly no preconcived ideas as to what I should or shouldn't get from going into the store. After beeing in retail for the past 2 decades (20 years) I have come to realize that alot of people that walk into a big box store or any type of store for that fact and expect to get something out of that store, and unforntantly a store can not please everyone the way they want to be pleased, that unforntantly is just the facts of life. I agree that customer service is very valable and I train my staff in giving the best customer service that they are able to but due to company rules or laws they are just not able to help out the customer the way they want to be helped out. Other times I have seen that people say they want attention from the sales people while other say they don't, so what is a sales person suppose to do, be a mind reader, every customer is diffrent, thus making it very difficult for a sale person to be able to help out everyone the exact way they want to be treated. Also with the ression in full swing alot of stores, weather it be a big box or a small shop, are looking at ways to reduce overhead and most of the time it comes down to lower pay or reduce staffing (remeebr the first job of any business is to make money) and when this happens customers tend to complain more loudly about things. Grubas, maybe next time you walk into WSS here in the city don't go in with any preconcived ideas as what you should be recieving and see how your experince is then, if it is the samething, maybe try russels as they are not to far from where WSS is located. West Winds Fly Shop is not to far either and Gord Kenndy diffently knows his *hit when it comes down to the bow, and there is Country Pleasures and Fish Tales located very close by too. Lots to choose from and you don't nessassary have to go to WSS to get good deals, look around and see what you might find, or better yet for the best deals I am finding the internet the best way right now. Got a $500 water proof Loop rain jacket in a 2xl for $180 and only took two weeks to get to me.

Happy birthday dude, hope you are able to get out and slam some fish.

The *hit hole has nothing to do with the dead birds, what happens in the winter time is that alot of birds group togather and end up eatting their own body waste and they get a desise from it that kills them. I forget what it is called but I am sure someone will say it. Another reason why you can find them in these places during these times of year is because the TREATED (I forget where I read it but we have some3 of the best water treatment in N. America, and do you really think that we are dumping raw sewage back into our rivers?) water that is coming out is warmer then the rest of the river thus making it an ideal place for these birds to go to. Personally I have been through out the bow in the city section during these times of year and you find dead birds all over the place, espically if we have very cold tempatures. I have also see frozen gesse (Dead of course) floating down the river during the winter time And to answer your question Sun, yes you are going nuts just like the rest of us, its called old age.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't china buying up alot of the US debt?

Man I have never come across a moose yet while out fishin and glad I haven't as I do not know what Iwould do if I came across one. Nice pic Terry and glad to hear you had a good time out in "Bring Cash" land.

Jay, You really need to burn that sage hat, lol j/k Good to see you had a good time, and when you have some time we gotta get out and slam some fish on the bow.

Rick is from Texas you expect anything diffrent?

I will be doing something simliar to what Jack did, but my box will contain 6 clousers, 6 leeches, 6 chenillie worms (my special tie, and I haven't deceided what the last 6 will be (thinking of maybe doing some elk hair caddis) but I think I can get 2 dozen by the end of the week, anyready got the first dozen finished. I am then going to look for a nice wood style box that I will purchase and put all the flies in them.

Its hair extentions

Yeah I was throwin a nymph rig today with the GASS 6120

Got two about 16 or so both bows, put up a good fight and was a way out, thirty feet from bank was weeds so they were laying just on the outside of the weeds or way out there. Both took the chenillie worm. Had another one on but that one got away wasn't paying attention and didn't set the hook quick enogh, so it spat the hook pretty quick. It was weird it would start to rain and all the fish all of a suddenly would start feeding aggresivly on the surface, then it would stop and nothing......... Was only out for a coupe of hours but meuh better then sitting at home with a cast on.

Man I forgot how much I enjoy walking through fish creek in a light rain at this time of year. All the colors where alive and saw some wildlife.

At 6am the meal finally moved through my system, now I am ready for a breakfest from Mc Craps.

I have a half dozen finished only another half dozen to go, might go for two dozen but don;t know if I have the time, plan on having mine done by friday, need to go into fish tales to get some material so I'll drop ito ff then. Oh by the way anyone tieing any SJW's, it is after all a good fly to use on the bow.......

Hey hillbilly, you find them yet?

I had a double big mac and two double bacon chesse burgers today, man it hit the spot.

I have no problem then ting up a dozen or so of my killer leech patterns.

yikes, my eyes just burned out of my eye sockets, its a good thing I know the lay out of a keyboard so I know where all the keys are.

I like them too but I do find that sometimes they can be a bit heavy at the front end allowing the streamer to go down in a nose dive, which is what I want sometimes, but not always. Tring to get my hands on some that rattle to see if the sonic noise it would make under water would make a diffrence, I don't think so but it is a fun experinment to try.

You know what your probably right but I am too lazy to do that and most of the time its just me bitching at myself for beeing lazy. Also for anyone thinking of tying up some of these little bastards I use the new Mustard Chemical sharpened hooks Streamer #8 1xh 4xL Materials used are as following. Lead Maraboo Red Wire Peacock Hurl Soft Hackle (I use any type I can get my hands on then trim it down to the size I want, when cutting the hackle I kind of do it like a barber cutting hair, that way I try and aviod all the hackle beeing the same length. *Stay tune everyone got the next dozen that I am starting to tie, any guesses to what they could be, note I only tie the things I fish*

Yeah I might be able to get a dozen or so done, just need to know when we need to have them done by so I can see if I can get it done in time or not.

Yeah, I'll get right on that dave

Just finished ting these little bastards. These leeches have been very good for me this year, picking up fish at all time, mostly just swinging them with the spey and single hander. Once again sorry for the shitty phot, I'll get this indoor photo down some day.

Let me guess, uuuuuuuu shitty deal brad. :$*%&: ........

I don't drive so I don't really see much of that *hit, but I tell you people on the trains are a sight to see. Today I was standing at the train heading for my bus and the warnning singls are going and there are people duckin running across, last time I checked that noise was a warnning to STOP TRAIN COMING anyways I counted like 20 people running across before the bars came down. Good thing the driver saw all of this too and was just sitting there. Then this lady comes by talking on her phone ducks under the bar and walks right across. It blew me away she didn't even think about crossing train tracs, thank god the driver had a brain, who said blondes aren't stupid (sorry Lynn you don;t count cause you scare me) I know when I am talking on my phone or listening to music when I reach the tracks I slow down and look at my sourrondings, but as a kid I grew up around trains in small towns so I knew the dangers of a train trac. I see *hit like this everyday, thank god I haven't seen someone serious injured or killed.
