check out speypages they have lots of good info on the basics

" Anglers’ perceptions of detection (i.e., certainty of punishment) increased with enforcement effort, but not with the use of warning posters." -People over posters, the only logical way to truly enforce regulations of our fluvial systems. Where does this leave us? - Between a rock and a hard place, where does the much needed extra funding to employ additional SRD officers come from?

Setting the hook with the slick shooter can be a trick, especially if them temperatures are low and your fingers are cold. - Can't remember where I read it, but if you take a small amount of rubber tape and apply it to the top inch of the cork, it will provide some what of a tacky area where you can more easily pinch the line to help with slippage problem. The slick shooter has a lot less resistance to the water making lifting the line and big mends easier. Having the ability to lift the running line with ease almost allows you to 'nymph' the shooting head. Coils can be a bit of a pain, usually just stretch out a good amount of shooting line at the start of the day. I wouldn't go back to a regular set up after using the slick shooter.

Did ya get em on beads and gammi's? Some good looking fish man!

Second from the bottom is a good lookin browner, good on ya.

foam wrapped in tinfoil and then epoxied would do it!

i used to smoke a lot of rock...

"Wait till I start dropping eggs!"

I heard once you fish the bow with a perimeter ban, the next step is habitual reefer smoking. Be careful out there guys...

Jet boats are not allowed above the Deerfoot extender bridge... Although, I could be wrong.

stream flows, in depth weather, eye ball reports.

Silly goose... I know where I'd be heading if I were in Cgy.

The first fly in the second photo looks like you have tied in the rabbit backwards. If you tie it in the other way i think it will give it a smoother look. As for size, you wanna match the size of baitfish that current available in the stream. Sometimes something bigger will entice a chow session.

same, thanks for the info and the pm's guys... been playing phone tag with a few guys but nothing really seems to be playing out.

That's deep for a big ol' Samsquanch. Rule #1-Make sure waders are in the car before driving to the old man in March. Rule #2- Save sausage and cheese from your timmies breaky sanny, fish love it.

Hey all, Wondering if anyone has worked at any fishing lodges in the Queen Charlotte region of B.C. I've currently applied to work on the deck crew at a few lodges... Has anyone experienced this type of work? I am wondering what a typical day would include... so far my knowledge is that I will be cleaning and fueling boats, arranging and setting up gear, cleaning and packing fish, general upkeep around the lodge, and.....? If I don't hear back from the lodges, then it's back to the good ol' tree planting for me. Any input is appreciated

Really? Fish Tales? I find this a little hard to believe as i've only received the most helpful and polite information when frequenting Fish Tales. As a beginner not all that long ago... Fish tales would listen to my uneducated and silly question, answer with more than adequate information, and send me in the right direction(s). That is a hell of a lot more than other store closer in to down town have done for me... The people working at Fish Tales seem like they actually want to be working in a fly shop. They are glad to shoot the *hit with you, show you a few knots, or tie up a pattern you've been having trouble with. I have never left the store with a bad "taste." I'd recommend giving them another shot.

I could dig the Slovenia, that's for damn sure... What are you shooting?

Sneezing used to be a good time. Now, I cringe at the thought of it...

Exact same for me.. i've been putting it off for two months and finally went for a physio appt. The biggest piece of advice the lady gave me was to try and not sit for extended periods of time... Pretty difficult thing to accomplish being a student. The pain is bearable in the day, but i haven't slept a full night in a month easy. I walk like a 50 year old guy with a mean case of the gout... I can't wait to get old....

Another good vid, love the freeze frames... keep it up man.

I had a pair of Kaenons and they fell of my hat tree planting. There were definitely the best pair of sunnies i'veowned, the polarization on em was epic, even in low light conditions. Go check them out at Fish tales... they've got a bunch o' sizes and styles. Really, you cant go wrong. I think another big deal with fishing sunnies is scratch resistance. If you don't lose em too too often, you better off spending some cash.

Really sick shots man, well done!

Dudes on drugs, Vancouver Washington....?

that dude can sure toss some line.... the opposite handed cast is still something that feels like writing with my left hand.
