I agree today i decided to lear the evil weevil and picked up the stuff for it but all i really need that i didnt have was material for the flashback...so i bought a variety pack of ice dub and now i have alot of variety and i have only been tying for a week.

i definitely was not expecting to save money when i decided to star tying but i am going to be controlling it hahaha (i hope). I am just really glad to have something constructive to do when i am not fishing or cant fish or just to fill an hour when i need to. i am really enjoying it.

Hey, in the fall i posted here about getting into fly tying. After some thought i decided no tot take it up due to the cost. Well last week I went and geared up (using gift certificates). I spent the money on a good vise and some tools and have been having a blast tying and catching fish on some of those flies. So thanks to all for you advice

That is awsome.......nuff said

Thanks to all for your help i was looking ant getting another pair of korkers anyway so i will just get rubber and felt soles hahaha........ and keep the clean as i can

Hey a co worker had told me that Alberta has recently ban felt sole boot. Just wondering if anyone had heard or know it to be true or not.

this sounds like fun to me i would come out every wed i could!

Thanks to everyone for their input so far I am going to cast some rods on monday and maybe tuesday. i will let you know how it goes

Ok so her is my dilemma. I currently have some extra cash and have been thinking that a new rod might be in order. I have been fly fishing for 3 years but I fish often. I currently have 9 foot 6 wt temple forks (the green ones haha). Before I buy a rod I plan on going to all the fly shops in town and cast rods from different manufactures and so on. Im not in the market to be spending tons of cash I think if I could find a rod under $400 but closer to $300 would be ideal. The other major question I will be looking to answer is.... will a higher end rod benefit me?What do you get out of a higher end rod i guess is what i really don't know! All insight would be appreciated or if there are some rods you would recommend i would like to hear about it. Thanks To All

These are two of my most memorable fish of the year. The Grayling was one of the first fish i caught this summer \ spring. The cuttie was on a tough day in the mountains i took 3 about this size from the same hole. Some of the best cuts i have ever caught.

Ok so my Dad just recently bought a drift boat and we have had it out a few times. We know where all the boat launches are EXCEPT I cant find legacy island. I have used google maps to look at satellite images to find it to no avail. If anyone could help me out i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Jon

Thanks

are there any others? I meant to put other then Bow River shuttles

Hey I was just curious if there were any other shuttle services in town to move you truck for a float? Thanks Jon

Thanks Alot

Just wondering if it is possible to do Fish creek to police in an evening? Starting at about 4:30? Or if there are any other suggestions for a short float? Looked at the bow river shuttles sit but it dosen't say how many hours Thanks Jon

I have also been out with Richard Mason From Bow River Adventures and he is fantastic

Thanks to everyone for your help i am going to fish tales on monday so i will have a look art a vise while i am there. I had also looked at the Hook and Hackle club. Is there a meeting i can come to for free just to check it out? thanks a lot im sure i will be posting plenty if i do start with more questions.

I have been thinking that I would like to start tying flies. I have looked on the internet a bit at vises but I cant seem to find anything in what i would consider a price range for a beginner. Anyway i was just wondering what i could expect for initial cost. Or where i could find an inexpensive vise or any other tips for someone thinking of starting to tie. Thanks Jon

awesome thanks alot we will be stopping but that gives me an idea!! My Dad and I are renting a john Boat it will be our first float without a guide!

Just wondering if someone could tell me how long it would takes to float from Fish Creek to Mac? Thanks

Just wondering if anyone knew if there was a dealer in Alberta or somewhere i could go look at these boats. My Dad and i are just starting to look at getting a boat and we are really interested in Lavro. Thanks Jon

unless there is someone with 2 and would be willing to take me out sometime

Yeah that would have been nice. tough to turn that down

cant find any pontoons there but thanks
