I have found that the Dai-Rikis break at the bend, but I'm only running about 5% failure rate and that's pretty acceptable to me.

a quick read copied from Wiki The term four-wheel drive typically describes larger passenger vehicles that may allow the driver to manually switch (sometimes with an automatic option) between two-wheel drive mode (if available) for streets and four-wheel drive mode for low-traction conditions such as ice, mud, snow, or loose gravel. All-wheel drive (AWD) is often used to describe a "full time" 4WD that may be used on dry pavement without damaging the differentials, although the term may be abused when marketing a vehicle[2][non-primary source needed] as there are no specific definitions or guidelines (per the SAE for example) to differentiate these terms.[3] AWD can be used on dry pavement because it employs a center differential, which allows each axle to rotate at a different speed. This eliminates driveline binding, wheel hop, and other driveline issues associated with the use of 4WD on dry pavement. For vehicles with more than four wheels, AWD means all wheels drive the vehicle, to varying degrees of engagement, while 4WD means only four of the wheels drive the vehicle continuously. For example, an AWD vehicle with six wheels is often described as a 6×6, the M35 2½ ton cargo truck being one of the best-known examples (dual wheels on the rear axles are not counted as additional drive wheels). Because all 4 tires in a full time AWD system are connected by a system of differentials, they are potentially very susceptible to torque reduction when a wheel loses traction. Without sophisticated traction control systems, they would become immobilized when any one of the four tires lost traction. A traditional part time 4WD system does not connect the front and rear via a differential, and therefore does not suffer any front/rear torque reduction—if a front tire loses traction, it does not reduce torque delivered to the rear tires, even without traction control systems. Part-time 4WD systems are mechanically simpler and cheaper than AWD systems. Also, a part-time 4WD transfer case is usually equipped with a reduction gear setting that provides for higher torque at lower speeds, a vital feature for vehicles that will see much off-road use. In AWD systems a more expensive separate reduction gearbox is usually used. The main drawback of 4WD is that because it lacks a center differential, a part-time 4WD system can only be used in low traction situations where the wheels have the ability to slip as needed. For these reasons, full-time AWD is appropriate for improving on-road handling and is seen on cars and car-based crossover SUVs, while traditional part-time 4WD systems without center differentials, or with locking center differentials, are better for heavy-duty use such as off-road or in deep snow and are commonly seen on trucks and truck-based SUVs. Manufacturers often use these terms interchangeably, and the English word all is obviously equivalent to the word four when referring to a set of four wheels. In typical use, the terms are used as described above, but they are not fixed or legal definitions, and some manufacturers, such as Honda, often use the term "four wheel drive" when referring to systems that include center differentials. These terms are therefore not always very reliable for assessing the features and capabilities of a given drivetrain. Identical drivetrain systems are commonly marketed under different names for upmarket and downmarket branding and, conversely, different drivetrain systems are commonly marketed under the same name for brand uniformity. Audi's quattro, Mercedes-Benz's 4Matic, BMW with the xDrive, Saab's XWD, and Volkswagen's 4motion, for example, can mean either an automatically engaging "on-demand" system with Borg-Warner ITM 3e magnetic or Haldex Traction hydraulic clutch, or a continuously-operating permanent 4WD system with a Torsen (torque-sensing) or other type of a differential.

2 days, graves to FC is about 14k. I d guess if you paddled you might be able to do that in a 16 hour day but pretty much 2 days

Chota's are the end all be all boot. I've now got well over 200 trips on mine with out any issues.... I've had korkers that don't make it to that mark. As Jeremy said get some CHOTA SLTs and forget about boot problems. Springbrook distributes them in the province (same place as TFO)

In the section I have been fishing it is still present in a strong way, I was surprised that it hasn't been scowered of the bottom with all the water we've had

Can you give a source? I've seen tons of people go through most make it through on their tubes and kayaks, mind you i'm not a fluid dynamisist seems like a strange comment seeing the reason behind doing this was to make the river passable

you know Doc there are speed signs on deerfoot that people ignore

Does anyone know when this thing is going to be finished?? the City of Calgary website states spring 2008, clearly not the case. http://www.harviepassage.ca/about.html WHat needs to be completed? the mayors message states it will be completed in spring 2011 http://www.harviepassage.ca/images/HP_PressRelease.pdf After weeks of rafters floating through the passage the city has put the bouys across the passage again and i see Kayakers there all time. The passage was challenging but I didn't feel at risk with my skiff going over. Does any one know what the bylaw charge/fine is for traversing the passage if you do get pinched?

I'm going back to a 18 1/2" shotgun

I used mine a week ago and it just went Click..... figured being a rim fire it should go off and the primer was dented???

Dont forget the SJW, probably your most used fly on the bow and it's super easy to tie. Got to FT buy some wire, some size 4-8 Daiichi 1870s, wrap the wire, no thread just simplicity

oh no he didn't and there is the post of the year... my hat's off to you Mike

wound .... meet salt

ya you are

Ebay is about your best right now as sage isn't shipping anymore Zs. So what stores have is what it is.

Nothing in the NW... closest is the shops down town

Jeremy, you have a front anchor on that boat? was that factory installed and do you have a rear anchor as well... if so nice chrony fishing platform. Nice brown

I tied up some worms recently with a loop like yours........ I will continue to to tie looped worms after experimenting, good work

No it wasn't dumb luck, the fish are really keyed into the stones right now

Jeff the best luck I've had is with split lampreys.... my best story and best day ever was a couple of years ago on teh fraser my dad, bro and I got 11 fish the smallest being 6' biggest wast just over 13'

as jeremy said the douche was long lining he had a rope with a rock on the end and bunch of trebles strung off the rope. I would have liked to use the rope to string him up

do you cry when you are stuck at work watching others drift by?

The boat issue vs wadenwalker is going to come up forever, I do a lot of drifting and sometimes you just don't see the guys on shore. If dude is crouching in tall grass wearing fishing gear waiting for fish to rise it's not often easy to spot them and I think this is where a lot of issues come from, I don't have a solution just noted. I was drifting with Copperjonnie and Uberfly this season, we pulled in about 15m above a seam, got out and we just preparing to fish. My boat was totally visable and i would be able to tell we were fishing this seam, but another guide swings in his boat over the seam and proceeds to fish it with his clients... I was a rod's distance away. I was going to knock him out j/k at the launch but after fishing right behind his weak ass skillz and hooking up 4 fish I figured he earned his karma. I do remember who he is.....

Really then I am corrected I hadn't heard of a change....loots
