I've driven by his place up on the Kispiox. Talk about the end of the road, but it is beautiful up there. Great Video. Mike

I would think 60 20 20 would be good in a 9 ft length. If you are going to use a piece of yarn as a hook I would keep the thickness heavy in order to turn the yarn over. Regards Mike

Smitty, Maybe get a hold of the Edmonton Trout Fishing Club and Northern Lights Fly Tying Club. I sure they would put the word out to their members. Regards Mike

Bamboo Regards Mike

Sad to see an interesting thread go down the toilet.

Ballpark $150 - $200 depending on condition. Regards Mike

What---no Perch? Regards Mike

We're off to see the Wizard The wonderful Wizard of-- Oops wrong Wizard.

Everything seems to be cascading out of control- one problem after another and they just can't catchup. The Power Co certainly doesn't seem to deserve the loyalty, dedication and courage of it's front line workers. Older and retired workers are be asked to help as they will maybe die of old age before the cancer caused by radiation kills them--unbelievable. Their courage defies description. Regards Mike

I've got about half a tube left. I saw a used tube on Ebay a while back go for $30. Regards Mike

Overton's-don't see that much anymore. Looks like you've been busy. Regards Mike

Good post Clive, most of what you have said makes good sense. Mind you, the current Conservative Govt meant has done a good job of pizzin' away a lot of money. It's hard to imagine anyone one could do any worse, not that it's likely to happen. Regards Mike

"Sustainable Community"--What the hell has got into you people in Rocky? Next thing will be gardening clubs, composting, recycling and a bunch of other Eco-weenie stuff. Regards Mike

Sorry, I'm going to continue with the hijack. I don't think you can blame everything on Clive's "Eco-weenies". In most cases, they have just pointed out the problems, The so called "solutions" have come from Politicians and Industry. A lot of the solutions are nothing more than a way to make a quick buck by capitalizing on people's desire to do help. As was pointed out, with our current North American Lifestyle, any small changes are really not going to make any real difference. Saving your grass clippings and then driving 5 miles to the compost site isn't really environmentally sound. Nowadays being environmentally and health conscious is knowing how to sift the bullsh!t from the buckwheat- what really works and is important versus feel good stuff being fed to us by Eco-weenies, politicians and industry. Maybe that's what should be taught in schools. Regards Mike PS: I think I REALLY need to go Fishing soon!!

A Cadillac SUV Hybrid HAS to be earth friendly- Right? Right? Regards Mike

I think a pump would be very useful on stillwaters- flowing water- not so much Regards Mike

There is a lot of debate whether a hybrid/electric car is more eco-friendly than fuel efficient gas/ diesel when you factor everything in. Regards Mike

I guess the latest craze is saddle hackle woven in the hair. Better stock up but it might be too late. http://www.midcurrent.com/news/2011/02/hai...r-hackle-m.html Regards Mike

It took a sec. ROTFLMAO. Regards Mike

I'll take a dozen!! Regards Mike

I think the shipping charges on something that heavy will eat up any money you might save. Regards Mike

I use 9 ft and a 91/2ft single handed rods in the 8 and 9 wt sizes mainly because of the heavy flies and distances cast. A 7 wt is a little light. I use shooting heads and running lines to get the distance and though a Spey rod would be best, I get by. I have to admit as I'm getting older the Spey rod is looking more and more appealing. Regards Mike

Hungarian-- full skin is best. Regards Mike

I have Nautilus bought at Canadian Tire (25% off sale) and my buddy has Mustang (Fishing Hole). Both pretty much the same and DOT/Coast Guard Approved. Regards Mike

I prefer the suspender style of inflatable as they are fairly comfortable in hot weather and in cooler weather you can fit them over top of heavier clothing. As far as reliability, I can't say as I never had to use it (knock on arborite). Regards Mike
