  1. Fish Tales carries the Amundson line up. You can get the Trend reels there.
  2. I'm rockin' the TXS reel on both my 5wt and 6wt rods. Awesome reel for the money. Fish Tales carries them, so you can support TWO site sponsors in one shot!
  3. Next time I'm at WalMart, I'll pick some up to try. Couldn't hurt.
  4. Finally made it out for my match up with timj this morning. Went to a familiar run for both of us and had a good time despite the colder weather. Wind made for some fun casting and some colourful language from yours truly while untangling some pretty nasty wind knots. Both of us got into some fish, however we were only able to get one each into the net. Tim had a nice brown for his and I managed a nice rainbow. I would guess both of them to be in the 16-18 inch range. Really nice colours on the brown and the bow. I'll get some pics of them both up later once I get them downloaded off the camera. Final Score Timj 1 FNG 1 We both managed to hook into some other fish, but the fish Gods were against us. Tim lost one on a streamer take and I had a big un take off on me and straighten my hook! Caddis pupa was the hook for us today. Both Tim and I caught ours on them. Great morning and great to meet you Tim, I look forward to fishing with you again!
  5. African swallows.....
  6. Wow. Just.....wow. Are there REALLY people that stupid out there???? Seriously?
  7. I have the Brodin Gellatin with the rubber ghost net on it and I love it. Hooks don't get snagged in it and the lack of fabric won't rub the slime of them. Can't get much more fish friendly than that.
  8. That new rod looks extremely familiar.....I have one just like it! Mine's an 8'6" 5wt. Wicked brown, nice work!
  9. I have an 8'6" 5wt TFO for dries on the Bow. Love the feel of it and it casts great.
  10. Great read. It's my son's fourth birthday today. Happy Birthday son.
  11. I have a 7.5' 3wt for the mountain streams. Love it.
  12. Don't forget the matching hat and shirt!
  13. Made it out with Jayvee this morning. Started out like it was going to be a great day! Weather was nice, tad cloudy, but little or no wind. Second, maybe third cast, I had hooked a nice brown. Sadly, he spit the hook about ten feet from me before I could get a hand on the leader or Jayvee to get a net under him. So I can assume it was a brown. Jayvee ended up hooking into a nice 17-18" rainbow and was about all either of us got while I was there. Final tally, Jayvee 1 FNG 0 The two that Jayvee landed before I arrived don't count
  14. 1st one. Sadly, the issue that I received of this print, was the second one.
  15. Hope you have a good one!
  16. I generally fish only one, but I have to admit, this thread has got me thinking......
  17. Just put the RAP number into my Blackberry. I've been meaning to do it for a while now, thanks for reminding me!
  18. Finally made it out for my second match (from last week!) this morning with Castuserraticus. Beautiful morning to be fishing, just a slight breeze, nothing really hatching where we were. Saw the odd BWO as we were about to leave. Water was about 2-3' visibility. Managed to get 2 to hand and had another break off. Foul hooked them both, one in the gill and the other in the butt. Sure are hard to land that way, holy! Final tally Me 2 Casuts 0 I am really enjoying this so far. Its a great way to meet new people and I can't wait to get out and fish with some more members I have yet to meet and fish some more with members that I have met! Great to meet you Bob, I hope we can go out again one morning! Now I have to get out this week for my match this week with Jayvee.
  19. If you watch closer, at the end before he is tazed, he reaches under his shirt for something. That's when he gets it. Watch the slow motion at the end. You can see the butt of a gun in his belt, which the cop takes out and tosses it up on the rocks.
  20. I honestly have no idea and never really thought about it. I was going to say a couple dozen, but then remembered that I JUST ordered about 100 flies from reelflies.ca and realized that I was much closer to the couple hundred.....
  21. I buy and not tie, but when I buy I will typically get 6 of each pattern. Keep six in my chest pack and the rest in the fly box in the rear pocket of said chest pack.
