Casts and floats very well. Noise wan't an issue. My issue is that my 5wt line broke (cut) after my third time using it. The local rep wouldn't warranty it, and the shop offered little help. Replaced it with a Rio Gold from another shop. Very nice, (thanks Max! )

My old DS was covered last summer.

Loomis Metolius is a sweet rod and on sale at Cabela's for $289USD! (bought one in the US when on vacation in April) I have also casted both Sage FLi and VT2. They're very nice too...

My bad, I forgot your car was stolen in this terrible city...

How bout Nova Scoitan Oiler fans taken photos while driving? That's safe... BTW my winter tires are on.

Well done Max. Here's to a long spring/summer. Doesn't it suck in Calgary? Not...

I'm interested. I'm flexible with the times. Go Henderson! Spider by TKO...

You should take an introduction course from one of the local shops. I did and my tying has improved big time. Also "Fly Tying Made Clear and Simple by Skip Morris" is an awesome book. Real well done with great illustrations and lots of tips on technique. Good luck.

What's to hate about Calgary? Seriously?

I have it and have fished a couple of times with it. Real nice, very little friction, floats high and is louder through the guides. Not sure bout wear on the guides.

Krazy Glue or 5 min epoxy

Salvelinus, check your PM.

I have a 6wt BFR with two spools. Make me an offer...

I've had mine for two summer seasons, and they've held up well. No problems with the soles. Pretty comfy too.

Check it out! http://www.energy.gov.ab.ca/Electricity/683.asp

The Ranche Restaurant at Fish Creek is really nice too...Bring your gear, as you could sneak out and cast a line!

I went to a work function at Heritage Park. Kinda cool?

Does anyone own GH3 yet? If so what do you think?

This is one of my favs...

10lb Octopus , and 28lb trout both on the fly. He casts like me! "Common give me some fish...any day now...any day now, any day now..." LOLZ.

Check out the Orvis shop at Kierland Common. It's on Scottsdale Rd just north of Thunderbird. The dudes there can point you in the right direction. Nice shop to boot...Pretty happenin outdoor shopping as well. Good luck!

Welcome to Calgary and nice fish! What did you catch him on? Fishing is good in the winter too! Thanks for posting...

Nice fish...I love the Whale (the hat!)
