  1. I have a Danielsson F3W 2six on my 4wt FLI, way over kill w/t a 100 yds of backing. since it will hold so much. like everyone has said, I have never seen the backing on it, but the weight is great 137gr. or 4.8 ounces. so I guess a little heavy for what you were looking for, I just love the reel though.

  2. that is the thing, I hate to say it but I hit up a couple of other forums other than this one, and on another forum, I would say we fly fishers are out numbered prob 5-1 by all the gear chuckers. I hate to say it but they are all just as worried about poachers, and the lack of conservation to our sport/ hobby. we are not the only ones worried.

    All I know is now that I tie my own flys, is that I now have no problem about ever being caught w/t a barbed hook, as that is the first thing I do before I start the tie.

     

  3. My fishing partner on sat found two flies with barbs and keep them, very nicely tied flies but barb'd, he de-barb'd them and stuck them in his hat. as a side note the two flies he found were attached to a Red and white bobber !!!!

     

    I would have loved to meet this person, that is the type of person I could have helped I would have even given him/her a Indicator of proper size etc...

     

     

    you have to remember Flyfishfaiwx that there are a lot of spin casters out there that are hucking fly rigs w/t bobers, and weights. so I have a hard time to belief that that rig was from a fly fisher.

  4. The thing is I come home, want to relax a little, jump on the forum to see that I should have gone fishing, cause everyone else did good, and every other day it is the same old crap, some one taking pictures of barbed treble hooks, and posting it none other than on a forum that I would like to say most of us follow the rules, quit wasting your time telling the guys that already know.

    What you want a pat on the back for finding a treble hook. good job bud. come over and I'll give you a cookie.

     

     

     

     

  5. It is so funny, this is not the first forum I have been a part of, I think I have six that I visit on a reg. basis. It is the same on all of them, people take things to way to serious, and other people always feel that they are right. it is way too easy to sit behind a computer screen and run your mouth as really there is no consequence after. Also I know in my instances of being on the computer, it is usually in the wee hours of the morning, and my brain has quite working right.

    I know one thing the city does to me is make me mad every time I drive, 5 yrs ago rd's were ok, at least the ones I drove on a regular basis, I live in the country, or what used to be the country, now there is a stupid mall 8 miles away, and I have to deal with stupid drivers where there used to be no drivers. I blame all the hostility in calgary, to the condition of the rd's. not really the meth labs, wheres 420 hiding. he can help us all chill out a bit eh?

  6. you guys are getting mad at him, If I were you I would be mad at the countless number of people that do get hit by the train and waist tax payer dollars, I used to use the LRT all the time, and I never got hit. how can you not see the train coming? really, most likely they were talking on the phone, texting, or listening to music, you wonder why places like NY, pass laws making it illegal to walk down the street w/t headphones on. Oh I know because of stupid people.

  7. I picked one up a few weeks ago as well, what a great rod, enough back bone to throw a big nymph rig and then turn around and throw drys. I too went with the Rio Gold 6wt line, as Max recommended, thing roll casts great. and my spy casting is improving. over all this is going to be my goto rod, when Southbow can not get any more in, I saw that Basspro has one on the rack for 410. Hey Jay you ever gona put up any of those pics?

  8. what ever you decide to use, get proficient at using it. I think also the nature of what we do we tend to put our self 's in danger, being quiet, just working up the river, not really paying attention to our surroundings, just the water. I don not know what you would use a knife for though BBBrownie? I guess you could fillet yourself and season with spray, mmmm tasty treat for MR.Grizzly. I know a shottie is not the answer as well, I'll try and be kind enough to give him a warning shot first. then I'll guess I'll go down blazing guns style.
