I like.... I'm doing Sex Dungeons right now, then worms and stones are on my list for the near future

I use aquaseal, UV KNot glue will come off after a while, Zap a gap and crazy glue dry hard. Aquaseal is what I have found to maintian the lines softness and will hold forever

I have bearing buddies on my aluminum boat's trailer, but not on my skiff's trailer. I am always redoing the bearings on the skiff, never redoing them on the other boat. If you do a quick search on Google you will be hard pressed to find a bad review of the buddies. I don't know how the grease can't get into the bearings when you are pumping into a closed system, but I would suggest you don't use them as well if I was in the business of redoing bearings.

I know it's late but do you want to drift tomorrow friday october 21? i'm thinking glen to 22? 930-1730? you have to be ok with me nymphing beads over redds

You are on a right train of thought Rick but typically you want to keep the over all size the same, there fore less sidewall. If you go to bigger wheels and tires you will first need to see if they fit, and clear everything in the full range of steering. You will also need to get your speedo redone as it won't compute propery with that large of a change. You also have to make sure that if you are turning and hit a bump your new bigger tire won't rip off your fender. A lift would be much easier

My dad started buying Grand Cherokees in 89. I started driving one in 92. They are virtually unstopable, I currently have a fully loaded MINT 99 with the V8, that my dad bought for my mom new I average 11.6L/100k. It will tow pretty much anything I need and they will go anywhere, front and rear solid axles mated to a frame not a unibody. I have passed guys that have huge trucks stuck, my stock jeep makes it by. There are only a few vehicles in their stock form that can complete the Rubicon trail, the Grand Cherokee is one of them. That being said I did get it stuck this spring, I got it high centered. I have completed massive water crossings, I tow my boat all the time and the truck doesn't really notice If you can find a Cherokee with the 3L Diesel get it, those engines are mercedes engines and will run for ever and the have great mileage. It has real 4X4 not AWD.

My wife has had a few different Hyundais they are good cars, they don't have the interior finish of more expensive rides or the paint quality but hey do run. If you have to do any repairs though the parts are crazy expensive. That being said our current Sonata has a gremlin that can't be found that causes the car to hick up at idle. Personally I'd get honda, only because of the bed and it will look more "appropiate" for towing a boat if you really want to do it right buy a grand cherokee

BiggyJ The trip hasn't been booked so july very well may be an option. The season opens on June 15, idealy we would like to be the first group on these systems. i was thinking of flying out of yyc on june 12ish that way we would be on the water opening day, i think. you can't work in a school as a teacher if you're sick wink I'm working out details with two outfitters. May do one outfitter for each river or just one for both that will be for those who commit to the trip to decide

It's wierd to me that DFO stated that this is for all Canadians but on the east coast there are restrictions on Non-resident Canadians in regards to Atlantic Salmon...

I am looking at doing a trip to mongolia in june 2013, the trip will be professionally guided and I have got a package deal from a well known guide in mongolia. It's not cheap, $6000, plus your flight (currently around $1500.) It's a 15 day trip, 13 fishing and treking on rafts and yak back, 1 day in the capital of Ulaanbaatar on both ends of the trip. 3 gourmet meals, housing will be in tents and Yurts, there are shower tents. Licenses, permits, in country flights, transport and all services included The trip is a treck into northern mongolia headwaters, fishing and treking up drifting down. Fishing for Grayling, Lenok and of course Taimen. The trip has a requirement of 6 anglers, myself and a couple of buddies are interested so we need a few more to go. No commitments are needed but if this is something you would like to entertain please feel free to reply or PM me and I'll set up a Q & A night at a pub.

No I didn't, and now you are going to lead me into highjacking my own thread........ I was in BC and my trip had been planned once I found out about the round table date. That being said I think redistribution of license fees from general revenue to SRD or a body that could adequately handle the funds will not come from Round Table meetings but from pressuring the governing body. This has it's own set off issues, I think the major reason we have little respect for the Bow is that less than 5% of our cities population knows that it is a world class fishery, if we can somehow get more public buy in we will get more presure on the govt. Now back to Steel, your thoughts on the SMP

i may have jumped the gun it appears that Definition of a Resident may be all canadians..... http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/skeena/qws/skeena...recommendations I'd still like to figure out how to raise the prices of the fishing the Bow 5.1 A Note Regarding Resident‐Only Times and Zones A number of recommendations were put forward for resident‐only times and zones (Appendix A). These recommendations were intended to provide access for BC resident anglers and restrict non‐guided, non‐resident Canadian and non‐guided non‐resident alien anglers at specific time and zones. In December 2009, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) reviewed the final Working Group recommendations and responded to the ministry with feedback. DFO identified that the resident‐only times and zones overlapped salmon fisheries on a number of rivers. DFO indicated that it was their mandate to provide equal access for all Canadians to recreational salmon fisheries, rather than for BC residents only. Recognizing the overlap between salmon and steelhead fisheries, and acknowledging DFOs mandate, the ministry endorses the concept of resident‐only times and zones, and supports Canada’s proposal that such regulations allow access for both BC residents and non‐resident Canadians and restrict non‐resident alien anglers. Based on this, all references to resident‐only times and zones within this document will herein include BC resident anglers and non‐resident Canadian anglers. The rationale supporting the Working Group’s recommendations for resident‐only times and zones are presented in the following sections. The ministry recognizes that resident‐only angling regulations are not currently used to manage anglers in British Columbia. It will be important to monitor the use i.e. angler effort and effectiveness of resident‐only times and zones for all rivers. Following implementation, monitoring will be conducted to determine the overall effectiveness of Angling Management Plans, including resident‐only times and zones.

Thought we had a year to go, http://www.cftktv.com/News/Story.aspx?ID=1555219 How can we get the Bow designated as classified, jack the non-resident prices and get the cash into the resource, if a bunch of out of work mill employees (skeena guides) can do it can't we?

There's a new drift boat company on the market, Down River Design. I have no ties to the company but I have been rowing the 1st gen San Jaun SKiff this season. I have drifted it alot this season and I feel it is perhaps one of the best designed boats on the water. the boats can be set up to accomidate a wheel chair. They are ultra bouyant and from my understanding can't be swamped. I have taken my low side skiff through the weir in both high and low water this season and rips it like a champ. my only complaint is that my boat only has 1 cup holder???? the new design has 6. The hull is tunnelled, kind of like an inboard jet, off of the tunnel are several soft chimes. in the toughest off water the boat will stop and rise up with little to no effort. The hulls are super wide and from what everyone that has been in my boat, it's riduculously comfy to fish out of. my boat weighs just over 200, the new ones are heaveir but longer. i'll drop some pics of my boat in a bit. http://www.downriverdesignco.com/

Rightyeegs, we've never met so I have no idea how old you are but do you think this is a generational thing? You stated you have been fishing steal for 15 years. 15 years ago in BC there wasn't much nymphing rivers under indicators beeing done and the time with out the proliferation (sp?) of the internets I would think a lot less of exposure to the practice. Now people see nymphing under indicators as a standard procedure for trout, so perhaps thats where the influx of nymphing come from. Thoughts I was fishing the Chilliwack last winter and I saw 3 dudes nymphing eggs, but i understand you if you started fishing steal 15 years ago there was a lot more tradition and respect. I did notice a few west coast guide's facebook pics last april fishing hatchery brats on the chilliwack with pegged beads and they were killing them........... but they were all fishing pins and filling the freezer

I don't care how you fish, I'll tip my hat to any fly caught rainhead steelbow. Where does this "traditional" steelhead elitist stuff come from? Our fly angling fore fathers whacked and stacked steelhead, just like every other resource they could exploit, there were very few who held the steelhead on the pedistal they now reside. Shoot I remember in the late 80s early 90s when pinners and bird chuckers could occupy the same run, the same plane, the same camp and even enjoy stories of the days exploits over a whiskey and cigar. Is this an age thing? I'd be interested to hear if guys like Art L, care how you fish for steel or if they are just happy you are another steward on the water with a fly stick? If it is truly about the fish why does it matter how the fish is caught? If we can't unite as FLY ANGLERS how can any one expect us to mount any sort of front to combat the forces that hinder these great fish.......... perhaps a C&R T river could be the return????? If we aren't tossing roe glowed bugs shouldn't we have common ground? I'm kinda thinking of this like sex, if you're out of breathe and sticky at the end didn't you do it right regardless of position? I guess some of you guys just can't get past missionary.

That could be argued (From General Money's game book, of the Stamp, all of which were whacked In a note written in his game book on October 14, 1922, the General commented on the fishing he experienced in this uncrowded land: "A grand season 77 fish, averaging just under 7 pounds Rightyeegs, I tend to agree with you, just providing food for thought. If you have never fished for steel, you may think of fishing eggs as an acceptable method, I peg beads pretty much the same deal.. BUT not for steelhead, that's my choice. If someone fishes steels with beads they probably won't do it for long.....

IN the words of betty white, not balls, they're sensitive and fragile they need to grow a vagina, those things can take a pounding

I'd fish them with a (what ever colour the indicator is) Bomber or Air BC.... skate, skate, skate. if that doesn't work dead drift it like the drift an indicator would take

you sure about that....... google is your friend

Provide MY photos of brood stock please.... I don't ever recall fishing with you. From my understanding broodstock are wild fish raised in a closed system to best maximize reproduction.... I'm not sure if you are aware but brood stock are not Triploids I was more trying to imply that money could be better used elsewhere, the SRD coffers aren't overflowing so everytime a new idea comes to play, some of the established process must be dropped or limited to free up a budget, in my opinion that money should be used for cutthroat rehabilitaion. if this discussion is just about put & take fisheries and we aren't talking any new species then cool

what a great idea, let's stock alberta with all the non-naturals when the funding could go in to cutthroat recovery............ I personally hope this doesn't get any traction, it's 2011 almost 2012 and the idea of increasing fishing opportunities by introducing hatchery freaks is clearly pre-2000 thinking. THere are far to many bad examples of mans attempts to create fisheries..... you don't have to drive very far to get Tigers or pellet feed stockers, sorry I meant triploids. we have splakes, soon you won't be very far from trophy Canadian Lahontin fishery. We have the opportunity to put cutts back in their historical range, until that is completed I don't think Alberta should move forward with other species

Don't you run a jet.... doh :Hi jack:

Dave, thank you for some clarity
