bhurt

Boxing day, arrrgh, I work in a retail store and I just absoultly hate boxing day (as I usally have to work on that day with a bunch of ignorant people coming in and saying, HOW COME YOU OUT OF STOCK ON THAT 300 Laptop, geeze I wonder why?)

Like Max said, I have been using DNA for about the last 6 months and I have found that the stuff work just aswome, use it for almost all my streamers, love using the purple and pink DNA fibers for my Rainbow style clouser and use bucktail for the top and bottom of the fly.

I've been ting princes and midges the last little bit, got 4 more packs of hooks for each fly to finish then it is time to start ting some of the stone flies that worked amazing for me this year, hoping they work again this year. But other then that I tied a few clousers and some bull trout streamers.

What I do is drop a little bit of head cement on one biot then place the second one one top and leave for a couple of secs on my ting table then tie in, if I know I am ting a bunch I will pre do a bunch first.

I own the Olympus Stylus 850SW, and with some minor settings adjustments I found there is no diffrence from the two, plus knowing PS CS3 as well as I do I can take any photo out there and make it look great. All of my best photo's I have taken, and I have taken alot of photo's was done with a Canon Powershot 520A 3.2 maga pixel and with some minor curves and light adjustments I was able to make some really good photo's. On a side note the one thing I really liked about my olympus was that with the macro mode I have a setting on it that I can use a LCD flash and not the normal flash, which I liked alot. I haven't taken many underwater photo's, just a few in the bath tub to really comment on the underwater photo aspect to it. The biggest thing that swayed me into getting my current camera was the price ($70 cheeper then the pentex) and the shock proof, as this is primary going to be used as a river camera and who knows maybe one day I will drop it and the shock proof will come in handy. As for the options, it doesn't really matter to me as long as it has a self timer. Anyways Once I take more photo's with it I will post for everyone to see.

I don't know much about politics myself but here is how I see things. 1) Did dion not say he would step down as leader of the bloc if he lost the election and now through backdoor dealing he might be our leader, how wonderful is that! A lier for a potintal leader. Maybe this will promt western canada to pull the bullshit Quebec tried and actually seprate (I would feel sorry for the marintime provinice as they are cut off from the rest of canada 2) To topple the current goverment just shows how these three parties really don't care about the people, because we voted for this. Also I would like to know what the Liberal goverment the last 20 years has ever done for western canada except bitch at us for our economy, Mulorney wasn't that great as a leader and Kim Cambell was even worst but they never pulled a move like what is happening right now. As it has been said before this is a kick to ALL canadains ass as this is not democracy, all this says is that if the three other parties don't like the turn out of a election then they can ban togather and say **** you to all canadains and take over the goverment, to me this sounds like a coue (sp)

mmmm, I like cake

I'll take my cloudvale gloves anyday, been using thm for three years straight in the coldest of coldest temps.

Aswome photo's brain. I see that Dan Baily reel is treating you just nicely. Love reading the story

I use Microsoft Live one care and am very happy with it.

ahhhhh flyfishing and fireworks, whatz wrong with that?

I would recommened going to www.downloads.com and dl Adaware, I have used this for years and am extremly happy with it, also as mentioned before Spybot search and destroy is also good. I would recommened maybe getting two programs and run them both, I have found in the past one program might pick up one that the other doesn't.

I have to agree with max on this on. I espically liked the first two as they are really focused on casting. My fav. line my henrik is "YOU DON'T HAVE A PERFECT PRESENTATION OR CAST UNTIL THAT FISH IS ON THE END OF YOUR LINE"

I had a great time out today, it was great to meet some new guys and what a fine day to have a causal get togather on the river. I really enjoyed looking at Dick's switch rod, what a piece of work one of the most sexiest rods I have EVER seen in my life. and casting it with my 40+ line was a dream. To everyone that came out remeber, if your not enjoying yourself out on the river then you are not truly fishin.

Everyone is welcomed, experinced or not

Don't forget boys and girls, that @ 1pm we are having a gathering, I know I am bring out the following. 12 1/2 6wt TFO Pro, with my Loop CLW (with matching Belhula Scandi Line) 11 1/2 6/7wt Belhula with my Hatch 9 Plus (I will have my Airflo Scandi line on this) 12 1/2 7/8wt TFO Pro with my Plugher Prisedent reel (One spool will have a Airflo Scandi head on it and the other spool will have my compact skagit, I will also have my Lamson Velocity Hard Alox out as well with my Airflo Delta Mutil tip Mid Belly) and just cause I like casting it I will also be bring out my TFO TRICX 9' 6wt with my Hatch 5plus and a 40 plus line so people can compare the diffrence between casting a sinle hander and the comfort of a two hander, also the 40+ isn't a bad line for a switch rod if anyone is bring out one. Hoping to try out some diffrent rods, I know ther is a line or two of greg's that I will be trying out so can't wait.........

Gregg you should really try and sneak out tomorrow and try the wide diffenece in equipment and setups that will be out!

Well here is my laundry list 1) 11 1/2 6/7wt Belauha 2) 12 1/2 6wt TFO Pro 3) 12 1/2 7/8wt TFO Pro 4) Loop CLW Reel 5) Phleugher Prisedent Reel with extra spool 6) Lamson Velocity Reel 7) Hatch 9 Plus Reel I have lines for every reel, and find as the more addictive I get to this the more higher end stuff I am buying and this is not good cause that means I spend more money. Everyone at my works thinks I am crazy for fishing when weather is colder then plus 10 so me practicing my casts at work is nothing out of the ordinary for me.

Don, Beeing in the technology industrie for awhile now, I have seen this trend happening. If you ask me I belive the manufacture know this will happen hence why you only really see 1 year LIMITED warrenty on most product. But hell if you think about it that perfect for the manufacture cause now they got you for another purchase espically if your first purchase was qualitlty and not some piece of junk. Wow, you just gotta love legal Scams

Hahahahaha Weedy you think I am that small and puniy and weak, ahahahahahahaha, the Art of War says that the ultimate victor is the one that makes their opponents think they are weak and when the right opportunity presents it self they attack and severs the head from the cobra.

**** it, lets toss Captian Weedy off his boat and take it over for ourselves, SURVIVAL OF THE STRONGEST!

To this day I still love using my TFO 6wt 9foot TRICX

Damn right, better then her getting SHOT, which is what the cop is trained to react to do when a VOILENT offender comes after them, espically one that is wacked out on a speed related drug which is documented as giving the user super human strength. By the way I don't belive in that *hit the drug and other addictions are a disease that is just a way for some people to hide the truth with something else. I know what you mean by shot them weedy but unforntantly society would crucifie the poilce force if they did it, in the end, your damned if you do and your damed if your don't! Oh I just thought of this, you can't shot them cause if the police officer missed and hit some innoncent person, oh man oh man would the *hit hit the fan!

I agree with Pipes, My uncle putting many years in the RCMP out in BC and the stories he has told me about pepper sprey, ouch man......... I also was lucky to be coming home from work a few years ago and was passing a female and male cop waking up a sleeping native man at the hertiage Ctrain station, anyways the grumpy natie after beeing woken up turns and point blank cracks the female cop in the face, *hit man the male peace officer pulls out the good old pepper srey and doses the rudly awaken native man. Man I got a whife of that and my eyes were on fire, poor native that had to suck ass. Anyways about teasers, I agree that they are the way to go. Alot of these cases of people dieing from their use lets really look at why they were used. Teen goes on rampage, man on drugs.... and so forth and so forth, I belive if the police is their to protect us then they need the means to do so, much better then shooting the person or worse the officer beeing killed cause his billy club is tore out of his hands and he is beat to a blood plup.....

I'm watching it on 27 too but I think I'll tie some flies while its on.
