Bigtoad, I was on the Blackstone last summer and a CO rode up to our party on a Quad, he even blasted across the river on his quad to get to our side...... but the fishing was incredible. I would suggest topo maps and find areas where quads can't access..... I think pretty much if you can hike there easily, they will quad there. You might want to try the Rocky Mountain Dirt Riders Association website http://rockymountaindirtriders.com/ they have an access section

NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you don't have to look very far into the past to see the many mistakes humans have made in the attempt to enhance OUR fishing experience(read catch more fish). If you want streams to be rehabilitated pressure the govt for rolling 4-6 year fishing closures on sensitive waters.................. but I understand it easier to monkey with the system and still fish rather than allowing a natural recovery

2011 THE YEAR OF THE BONK

I'll take evening

perhaps your thermal switch that operates the fan is gone, you can test this by "hotwiring" the fan to your ignition so when the car turns on so does the electric fan..... if it stops over heating thats the issue

I've never tried a dropper loop, why not just tie of the bend Good work I spend hours not doing what I am supposed to at work but never thought of power point patterns.... nice

THose are great pics thanks dude, that first one is sick, he's just waiting to get popped.

Got to agree with Ctown, everytime I've bought a waterproof jacket from a Fly Fishing company I've been disappointed, sooner or later you will realize that there is no way the jacket was designed by an angler and all you bought was the fancy branding. My MEC jacket was under $100 and as Buck said it's bulletproof.

I'd be interested if attendees spent more money this year than last year, there was more exhibitors then the last years, good to see the show growing. I would think the commercial spots helped drive attendance..... who knows about the weather I was surprised by the amount of cars in the parking lot on saturday. Was it busier then previous years? Myself I spent around $400 and got somethings I have been waiting for a while to obtain. Got to cast some new sticks and some new lines... made a decision to buy a new rod...or two, and got to meet some new folks and see some friends. All in all a good weekend and i'm glad I didn't have to work the show this year......haha suckas. The things that impressed me the most were; Silver Doctor's LAW vice, damn I just a Nor-Vise which is rad, but that LAW is something else great workmanship. I didn't tie on it but it was superb to look at. The new Redington CPX 1064 and 1054. They are 10' 6 and 5 wt 4 piece rods and I must say they are absolute cannons, I typically fish 10' Z-Axis and these CPXs are as good..... (if not better due to cost) they weigh slightly more then a Z but the swing weight is very comfortable. I have ordered two of the 6wts for boat rods. with a lifetime warranty they are a real steal. What did you all find?

There are cheapier boat rentals..... even one has been advertised on here lately, send a PM to Dutchie

LEDs are a far superior replacement.... edison bulbs haha, 1897 called and wants it's bulbs back. get in to 2011

Great one Buddy, awesome music selection the last song is perfect. Everyone should also check out Humble's Pigs in the Wind that I don't think he dropped on here.

Rick, velocity is not really needed, 400-500 feet per second is adequate, distance is a different story. There are people out there already doing this but it is pretty much on the down low. The range of the weapons is about 100m at the far end but if you are good you never need to shoot outside of 50m. It is good sport.

I was on the same sheet last night, but it is getting thin quick, very slushy, with this week of sun i probably won't fish it anymore.

I just recieved a Nor-vice, I think it's the way to go if you are going to be pounding out the same patterns typically. Compared to 17 year old Regal, there is no comparison.... the jaws hold any size with out issue. You just have to learn how to tie on a different system.

Rick, I've had some great luck along that section over the last little while, it is a great spot and the fish are willing if you match. The river was a good 6' over the leading edge of ice last night so be careful if you get out there this week. Nice bruin, I've seen 2 MONSTER browns in there this week.

I agree 100%, I got to fish for about 45 minutes before my buddy snapped his stick. In that time I had a 2 rainbows to hand..... midges as well..... i love chinooks Rad bruin

No JayVee WFN is everywhere, PS have you had enough fill of the eyes yet to come back to the trouty side??? when you do let's

That was much nicer then the way I would of put it.... but ya get it together flyfishy

I wasn't on the water much last winter but this season to me it does seem there is more anchor ice, but I've only really been fishing south of the city this winter.

Hey does any ony know where you can get a pawl for a Daiwa 734. This is not the Lochmar 708, but the model previous that is similar to a Martin Classic. Thank you

I've been out with a few buddies that have had frozen Boas.... I've seen three methods of melting: 1) hot coffee on feet 2) Peeing on feet 3) whining in the car until the heater thaws the feet. If you are looking for a good boot for winter Chota SLTs with cleats.... they have a slip on/off feature but the boot still stays tight for any amount of hiking.

I had the pleasure of meeting a Japanese vacationer a few years back on one of our lakes, he was fly fishing but after he landed a few fish, he broke out his Tenkara stick and started dabbing dries. His patience, balance and focus was incredible to witness. They sell Tenkara at wholesale and I know a couple of guys that play with the sticks, I've thought of trying it this year myself supposedly awesome on small creeks and a good change for whiteys Is it me or is that Japanesse dude wearing a dry suit ??

Thanks Bud
