depends what you want..if you just want pure numbers..then the Elk. If you want good opportunities for big fish (and typically good numbers), then the Bow.. Also depends on the fishing you want to do (and the guide you get)...If you want to avoid the bobber plague, better pick the right guide for the Bow so they don't just throw it on in the boat launch.

Strange New Computer Anomaly Question
bcubed replied to ÜberFly's topic in Off The Water - Not Fishing Related
sounds not so "new" to me... -
Aquaseal. Easy way to find leaks is to turn them inside out and fill with water. Don't go above knee or they can pop seams. If goretex, can use rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle, spray the insides and any leaks will show up as black dots.

Home Repair Wtf? - Caulk Cures Then Uncures?
bcubed replied to bcubed's topic in Off The Water - Not Fishing Related
Ya, after reading the reviews of the Dap stuff, it doesn't do well with water (funny considering it is 'Kitchen and Bath Sealant'). Just didn't want to buy a full caulking gun, thanks for the help. -
Just bought our first place, so been doing some minor DIY repairs, and have an odd one. Was recaulking the shower stall, following all the instructions on the "Dap Kwik Seal", left it for 36 hours as per the instructions. Felt it, felt dry and sturdy so had a shower. Once it got wet, it seemed to un-cure, was allowing water through and had some of caulk coming off at touch. Left it overnight, again hard in the morning, but again, shower seemed to uncure it. Ideas? Shitty caulk? Thanks

Looking To Buy A New Rod/reel For Next Season
bcubed replied to bigalcal's topic in On The Water - Fishing Related
Helios 2 4 weight, medium action...8 to 8'6" footer... Lamson Litespeed (or similar) to match... I have the helios 3 weight, and it is by far my favorite rod for cutty fishing on streams around your cutty hut. The 4 is a little nicer if you're fishing the Gap, and the ever present Nate shows his ugly head. -
That's cause it is. Didn't get up there monger?

Sending Sage Flyrod In For Repair
bcubed replied to northfork's topic in On The Water - Fishing Related
A) shipping is done via registered mail, and sending you a tip is goin to be a 2.25' foot tube. Not $10 shipping, I assure you. B ) time. They have to match the tip section to the piece that you broke to ensure it fits. If it doesnt, they will re-roll you a new section. Graphite isn't free, neither is time. C) handling. Someone has to take the time to bring the rod in, get it dealt with, keep organized, and send it back without screwing up. People aren't free. You're getting a new piece for $60... Seems better then $400 for a new one.. -
Fly Fishing Championships - September 23 To 27

bet you could count the number of guys fishing dries with a fingerless hand -
i can't believe i'm finally responding to one of your posts but.... WHAT?!

this is like a game of telephone... i heard he was driving a delorean..."Boat Launches? Where we're going, we don't need boat launches"
-
Winter is coming.... you'll be fishing soon enough. I truly believe that there has been a lot of this going around this season. Losing that first half of july, a good wack of anglers didn't break out the rods this summer, and by the time the fishing was back in shape they were not all that into getting out there. I'm sure all the fly shops would agree that it's been a tougher season, even after the flooding. Was pretty weird floating the city in july and seeing 1 or 2 walk and wade guys..

Won't lie, I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often on the Bow with the lack of tact regarding boat launches... Setting your boat/pontoon/rods/etc in the launch is not cool. Getting your boat into the water should take maybe 30 seconds. Same with taking your boat out. Maybe it's how fast the boats are being bought, but the very first thing I ever learnt with my drift boat is to never go into the launch until you're ready to go. It amazes me to this day how many people have not figured this one out, it's very simple and very respectful to your fellow users.

18" most of the season? I guess those first 2 weeks of July were my imagination. Guess when you have a lake resort to go guide on, you don't notice the clarity of the rivers that are on a different stratosphere than your own. "Just imagine the Bow being jacked to 400+ m3sec today just because there's some light rain in the forecast, and having that happen pretty much every time it rains all summer. It could be a lot worse down there" While it may not hit 400 (which it did last year after that stupidity at Spray), its a given that the river will blow out for at least 12 hours if there's a good thunderstorm anywhere in town... Rather then playing the 'who has it worse game', perhaps there should be more discussion about dam management in general in Alberta...Really, get one guy that likes fishing below the Three Rivers Dam, and they win that fight anyway.. At least be discussion on flows in the relative near future on the RDR... Fairly apparent in the recent world that fish don't come anywhere near the top when people are thinking flood risk.
