It's not like they didn't try to keep him. They didn't want to trade him at the deadline as they needed him for the playoffs, all five games of it. They did try to sign him so that he would stay, but he opted for Free Agency. The fLAMES knew that there would be the possibility of this happening when they traded for him, it's not like this was unexpected. There were rumors in January about how Cammaleri was going to the Leafs as a free agent.

They didn't pick up Jay, they picked up the right to talk to him. That's it. Nothing guaranteed yet. Heatly for Phaneuf isn't going to happen either.

I don't drink Scotch, but if I found a bottle, I'd buy it just to say I have it.

Get him the Bow River Pack. http://www.ickyflyworks.ca/index.php?cPath=32

Fair enough. As I said, I'm no scientist. lol

Nice fish! Love watching the nature go by too. I love where this sport takes me.

I am by no means a "scientist", but I will go by what I have observed as a human being living in Calgary. Granted, I have only been in Calgary for 8 years, but this winter had to be the worst I have seen so far as snow is concerned. Spring didn't really come until June and the weather was on/off for weeks on end. Having no real history for me to personally go on, other than the big floods of 2005, I just think that the snow melt was a little more gradual. We had warm days, followed by cold ones, even more snow, going late into May and early June. This likley caused the "run off" to be gradual over time as opposed to getting a big flood all at once because the warmer weather was inconsitent until the snow was already all gone. In the city anyway. I have no idea what the mountain streams were like last year as this is my first full season of fly fishing, and I only made it out side the city to fish twice last year, so I have nothing to go on. But if the weather was like this in Calgary, the higher altitudes in the mountains likley kept it cooler than normal and fluctuated the temperatures there as well. No real heat waves this year yet, so the snow didn't really melt all that quick. What run off and debris we did have was due to FINALLY getting some consistently warmer weather. The snow was mostly gone by that point anyway, so it could explain why the water level changes are so insignificant, because the "run off" was more gradual. Again, I'm no scientist, but that's what I think might be going on.

I'll second that. Great service from a local guy.

Good idea Birchy, thanks for the tip.

LOL

And a 10% discount for clicking on the link from the board. I also just used them. Great service.

Nice fish! I need to hit those mountain streams this year. Gotta break in my new cutty rod.

Thanks guys. Hey, how about something like a Zonker or a Double Bunny? I could use something to chase bullies with. If I ever get a chance that is. lol

Anything that will catch fish

Yes, they do, but a $3 fly will piss you off even more.

Woo Hoo! Yay me! I'll PM you guys the shipping/mailing details

That's awesome! I only hope one day, I can have a Father's Day much like that one. Although, it would be more of a Mother's Day as the kids will be with me while she stays at home and sleeps. lol

When are you going to post the final results?

Nice shots. Don't care where it is. I love fly fishing because it takes me to places that look like that! Can't wait to hit some of the mountain streams later in the summer.

Nice Bow. Love that underwater shot. I need to get a waterproof camera...... lol

I'll second that. Used them for the first time this spring, and I like what I've seen so far.

Well at $2 each, you'd be looking at $48, so on the high side of $3 each, I'd guess $72, so I'll go with $90 as well.

Couple of nice looking fish man. Nice work!

Tiger Woods +3 Vijay Singh +4 Sergio Garcia E Phil Mickelson -1 Retief Goosen +1 Not too shabby. Really wishing that I actually picked Mike Weir now. Was considering it as a dark horse, but didn't. Who knew he'd shoot a career low in a major of 64 in Round 1 at Bethpage Black????
