I also wouldn't stress out about it too much either. The Bow is a chilly mistress on her best day. Still kicks my ass once in a while to keep my ego in check.

Sorry Spincenz, but this topic has been beaten to death of late. You'll find some answers here; http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?...mp;hl=Etiquette http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?...mp;hl=Etiquette http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?...mp;hl=Etiquette

They are great at protecting the butt. My butt didn't get hurt at all. Can't say the same for the net though.......

Yeah, Fish Tales now carries the Brodin nets and their Ghost bag is great! You can also order them online from www.brodin.com

Personally, I think you're nucking futs, but hey, that's just my opinion. Awesome shots and great story.

Deadly. Awesome vid as per usual. Those were some serious slabs of cutties.

Great story and sounds like a great adventure! I thought I did well with getting a BluRay player for my birthday.....

LOL Thanks Chris.

Welcome Jeff. You will find a wealth of knowledge on this board from those who seek to give it. You'll also get a wealth of sarcasm from those same folks.....

Steve, it was a pleasure sharing the water with you on Friday. I had a GREAT time, for obvious reasons. It was great meeting you finally, and kayakmike as well, who managed some great shots of us on the water. And, my personal fave of the 20" cutty I told you about.

I would also add Maxwell to that list. He's extremely knowledgeable of the Bow and is a great guide.

For the best traction, get the felt with the studs.

Awesome build Mike! Lookin' great!

Very sad news.

Trailhead, I noticed that your pictures are stored on Photobucket. You don't have to physically upload the pictures to the website. They create the thumbnails you see in your thread. All you need to do is post the Image link and then it will post the picture. For example: [img ]http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/vurban/BUSH0323.jpg[ /IMG] Will come out as

That's odd. I have had zero troubles casting mine. Rio Gold casts beautifully and has no problems with wind or big flies. Mind you, it is my dry fly rod, so a big fly is a skid bitch....

HOLY SPIT! Nice fish dude!

Just landed my first fish on the dry this evening with my 8'6" 5wt tonight. Casts easy and landed the fish easy. Great back bone. Light and easy to cast. Have been considering the 9'0" 6 wt to replace my current 6wt as well......

Great pics and a great tribute to Bear. Thanks for sharing your memories of him with us.

I just got mine as well from the StreamWatch Auction. It is extremely well done. Better than I expected to be completely honest. Well laid out, easy to follow. Awesome job Sean!

NICE!

Happy Birthday dood!

I really gotta go get some cutty hunting done over the next two weeks......
