wow ,try that on your 8 wt

ah crap, going out for dinner now cant make it .

right on !! i will be there , what does one bring to these spey partys ?

ive caught fish with 12 lb maximum, good thing bow fish are not to leader shy ,but when the water is clear i think you will get more action with lighter line,like tying more flies and leaders that sort of thing.....

i think there are lots of 10lb plus fish in the river ,if you had a 12" long whitefish streamer pattern your chances would be better.

if you use the rowly type tou should have a swivel before your flies with heaver line so when you break off you dont loose your indy ,it should break on the fly side of swivel.ive lost a few too but not since ive put on a swivel

the only problem with them is that adjusting them up and down is not as easy as a pin kind , but they will hold up alot of weight

august is always busy on the river you just have to plan ahead ,way back, when i owned a drift boat and it got busy we would stay in the middle of the river and float the speed of the river no rowing to slow down and we would catch lots of fish .like missin the bow says theres no way to police any rules ,time and effort better spent other ways .if you dont like to drive on deerfoot than dont drive on deerfoot my .02.

glad you where able to hookup darrin ,kinda lucky you landed your first bow river bow ,on a wire worm,and a effed up reel and that fish still pulled out line .the stars where alined for you on your fisrt trip.

to avoid trouble with land owners camp on islands . as far as beer goes ,was checked by co years ago in drift boat he looked in our cooler for fish , we had at least a dozen beer in there he didnt say anything .but that was then . he was more concerned about life jackets and if we kept any fish.

lmao....

or a double uni works good to, simalar to barrel

i take my wife out now and then,she has an ultra lite spin cast. put a little spinner on it and she'll hook 2 by the time i get rigged up .then she sits down on the bank with her book with a little smerk on her face .then when we get home she tells all her friends she out fished me .shes happy i'm happy..

gil i would break off the first hook,easyer to release fish , i make my leechs the same way ,but break off the frount hook,

i bought some years ago at canadian tire 6lb was cheap only got to use it for 1 season ,a friend of mine stole it to fill up his spin cast reel. ihad forgot about that ,thanks for the reminder will have to pick up some more .

rich is right,the new boat lauch is open and is hard torow into at this time,easy to got out of,i dont think the new design is all that good, its to deep,not wide enough,bank is too steep on the down stream side.i see they put some teather poles there ,maybe they want you to lasooem on the way buy. but hay its better then no launch. i just think there could have been a little more thought into it my 2 cents

is that a phillips or a flat ? in case i want to borrow it

well its a boat with a motor. iwasnt sure when i put my motor on mine if i needed it, so i went and got it ,if you go out of town to a smalltown i think post office , its cheaper then in calgary . you just challenge the test .study up on flags and there meaning there is some questions .

i tie my damsels with big green foam eyes,fish with full sink line ,always catch something. its not my #1 goto fly but it does have its time and place.worth having a few in the box. i've never tryed the blob, looks like a bunch of marabo and if thats the case, then i have some in my box. just didnt know the name. anybody know what materal is used for the BLOB

it sure is nice to cast , its clear int. sink maybe i'll stay away from the 80' thing and put it back on my 7 .thanks guys

earlyer this spring was out on a lake , and realised i put my 7wt line on my 5wt rod .boy does it cast nice ,em i going to break my rod if itry to do a 80' double haul ?

those look great ,what kind of epoxy?

it was an awsome day to take out the jet boat iwent to policemans had the river to myself got several browns banging banks ,if u dont mind takeing off the toilet paper algy every cast,water had 2' fis at the banks ,not all of them but some and maybe 6" in the middle ,with this warm weather i think runoff is here, any one wona go to kananaskis?

thats cubic meters ,im going out right now to check it out ill post later about 11pm

highwood is at 41cm/sec thats double what it was last week ... dirrrty
