Sick Pics, nice work Brod! you are doing awesome.

when I tie dungeons I tie them in a production line style.. i tie tonnes of rear halfs, then join them all, then heads. This way I practice each section uninterrupted, when I get to deer hair heads i find the heads become the most consistent , but the first two always suck.

Chad, straight up I think bunny sucks on dungeons and ruins the way Kelly Galloup designed them to move.... BUT bunny does have it's benefit of getting down. Bunny also makes yanking that fly out of the water 1000 times in a day tough, it feels heavy. If you google the recipe the first youtube video that comes up is tied with bunny :$*%&: When I tie with two colours yellow over olive. i will tie in an olive marabou tail wrap the body yellow chenille and then wrap with olive schlappen. The head will be olive. I also really like fishing burnt orange/yellow/brown. it has an awesome brown trout look to it. For this one i will tie in an burnt orange and brown marabou tail wrap the body yellow chenille and then wrap with burnt orange/yellow/brown schlappen. I stack the 3 schlappens and wrap together. The head will be mixed.

I pretty much fish dungeons exclusively now, sneaky is right with his colours, but I would add yellow/olive.

fishy our section opens again soon, and we will get into the boat

Hey dude trying to get a hold of you. I smashed my phone

Are you serious? wow RIP Gord,

DRock, I've heard that scadden can be a real loser to deal with, did you buy your's direct?

Hey all, I'm in the market for a single man pontoon. I want something for mainly lakes, that has a motor mount and possibly a standing deck. What are your thoughts?

change the batteries

Right you are on another drift, I lost an anchor and when we found it, it was at about 4 1/2' deep on a chilly fall day and CJ just dropped underwater and grabbed it. Stand up guy, I've had some of my best drifts with him

Those of you that haven't fished with CJ take the opportunity,During the first time I fished with CJ I knew he was a stand up guy. After releasing a fish that went belly up he turns to me and says "hold my rod," and then he sailor dives into the bow fully clothed to save that rainbow..

Flyfishy, we should get out there and pound thode beats before the comp starts.

Depending on how along your wife is I can't see any real safety issues.... if she is scheduled to deliver in the next two weeks, then ya you might want to go with out here, but if she can comfortably stand for long periods then no problems. That said my wife hasn't been pregnant, but I have had a lot of people in 100's of drifts in my boat and never had a safety issue that would affect a pregnant lady. Ultimately your call and your protection priorities for your wife are probably at an 11 out of 10. I'd give Josh Nugent a call at Out Fly Fishing.

Scared me as well

Wyoming, thanks for the props, BUT I am no longer guiding. I was forced to get a "career" this season..... and this 5 days of work a week thing is just crazy and silly. I don't think there is anyone else guiding the urban section from a drifter, Mike Day at Iron Bow used to do some walk and wades in the city but I am not sure if he is still doing them. there are a lot of great guide out there, contact FishTales and they'll put you on with some good guides or book with Maxwell from this forum.

this is great news, I've been stalking Dalhousie looking for signs of Mike's new shop.

where did you find it?

Hmmm, definately something to consider, I was planning on drifting the elk for a couple of days in sept. My money may be spent elsewhere.

My anchour on my drifter does the same thing and I have to stretch it out every 10 drifts or so... I hope someone has a better solution, good question

I was drifting the upper bow a few days ago with Tungsten. We drifted by some clown that had snagged a small trout in the anus with a big streamer, we watched "the angler" pitch the baby trout back in the water like a baseball... well more like a softball, he threw like a 12 year old girl. As we drifted by he jumped up to wave at us, he must of been standing on his line because he snagged his hand with a glass shattering scream. Then he started to cry uncontrollably, Tungsten and I discussed helping this guy but he looked like he may be a hazard to himself and us. We drifted along on our way. Flysquishy was that you?

i've been using barbs because the barbs help the worms stay on the hook

$20,000,000 between 8 projects, should be able to make some real changes with that type of cash............ sheeesh,

Bowflyman, i'm not arguing as everyone's perceptions can be different, me personally i view that strip differently now, I think the sandstone bolders along the bank are awesome, I've found a few fish come off there in my post flood drifts. There are tons of changes in the NW, as all stretches of the bow saw, a few notables; Upstream of home road about 2k there is a section of concrete pipe with a man hole still attached, stuck right in the middle of the channel, besides the weir that might be some of the sketchiest water to drift, you have to shot between two downed trees to avoid the pipe and the currents sucks you hard to the pipe. Pumphouse Rd, the concrete platform which was part of the pumphouse is 75% gone, like not there, it was a good wall to slide some bruins off of.... oh well If you drive over Crowchild look upstream, there used to be a big horse shoe flow over and many islands along the south bank... nope not any more looks like a rock quarry. The class 2 section of harvey passage is exactly what the city should have done. Right after the 2nd of 7 drop the river turned right and cut a deep smooth descending channel through the bird sanctuary. The last 5 drops are 10' of gravel. Downstream of calf robe and the next rail bridge is a mess of powerlines.
