How about some random camping areas where no quads/bikes are allowed.

Take the money from the olympic bid and build better medical facilities and reduce emergency wait times. http://www.albertahealthservices.ca/waittimes/waittimes.aspx

Is there a cheap high speed internet service in Calgary?

Quickest way to make a million owning a fly shop is to start with 2 million.

It seems like SHAW rates keep going up every 2 months. I might just join the growing ranks of people who park at Mcdonalds and use their free wifi

Hey you hockey buffs out there, when was the last time that no Canadian teams made the NHL playoffs??? Pretty sad that its our national sport and we are currently sitting with 4 teams right at the bottom, and a couple teams 7 points out of the last playoff spots.

Getting tired of the high rates from Shaw and Telus. Looking to downsize to a less expensive ISP and local TV ( and maybe netflix ). Any suggestions. Thanks

try hendrix resturant equipment in the past they had a special on tuesdays $2 a knife http://www.hendrixequip.com/t-storeCalgary.aspx

250 to 300 yards of 30 pound gel-spun

Uni-bobbers are half the size of the small thingamabobbers..1/4" vs 1/2"

Country Pleasures said they had them on order but would not get them until early January.

I bet 90% of the forum members have looked down at the fly they were using and realized that they didn't pinch down the barb or didn't pinch it down fully!!!! I pinch down all my barbs before puting them in my fly boxes, but i still find the odd one thats still got a barb.

Most drift boat rower seats are actually the same as a riding mower seat (John Deere, Toro, Etc)... cheaper then buying them from a boat dealer for an identical product. call the mfg of your boat and say you don't want to pay the insane shipping to canada. they'll tell you what the seat model is.

they spawn at opposite times of the year (bulls in the fall, rainbows in the spring), and most rainbows get a white leading edge on their fins. I'd put it as very unlikely.

Consider that the XP was out for around 8 years before they discontinued it. They added more rods to the Z-Axis lineup just last year, and the original rod has only been out for 2ish years. You could be waiting another 5+ years before they discontinue the Z-Axis.

a very nice specimen. Cuttbow, more of an inclination to a bow. Might be a full on rainbow, but from the background i'm sure it's got a good chance to have some cutty in it

Support a site sponsor. Country Pleasures will ship them to you for free, should be an overnight being in Calgary....call them or do it online

I would just like to wish Mike Day good luck in his futures endevors. When i purchases equipment i was always treated honestly and with respect.

They G4's are completely mispriced, they were on the same rack and same price as the Freestones..they haven't started off so well!

I think you're missing my point. Sure Dany Heatley could shoot it better then me with the cooper, but would he not have a better shot in comparison to himself using the synergy?

And i'll beg to differ with you, Lower end rod's are usually a slower action, which gives the user a much easier time using them if their timing isn't perfect, giving the illusion of it being a better rod, when it is usually hide's the caster's faults . A top end brand name rod, will normally be a fast to ultra-fast action rod which will work far better for someone who has a quick casting stroke, and their timing down with the use of double and single hauls (aka, usually a more experienced angler)... There are reason's the best casters in the world don't use hundred dollar rods....

Noticed the fly tying instruction post. Country Pleasures also has fly tying instruction only in video format at http://www.countrypleasures.com/fly_tying.htm

I cast it more like a scandi then a skagit, one smooth motion. It doesn't give you the line stick required, to be using it like a skagit....it's incredible for kiss and go castin

No you don't. I've single hand spey casted with 000 weights before, the line weight really doesnt matter..It's more about timing then power (up-lining will be good to start, but hide some casting faults over time as your timing doesn't have to be as exact)...
