  1. Very cool spot pattern, congrats on a great fish
  2. Half way between Police and the Highwood on south shore
  3. The Dr needs more for his RPL collection
  4. Color saturation during editing changes the look drastically
  5. What if you left your net at home....
  6. Same 12lb Maxima...if you can land them quicker, isn't that more desirable. If the fish still eat the fly why would it matter. I don't break ANY off, I land them VERY quickly. Does it make you a better fisherman to nymph with 4lb test and loose flies and take 10 minutes to land a 2-3lb trout? To me, anything over about 2.5 minutes is unnecessary. 10lb Fluoro for stillwater chironomid fishing works fine...when they can sit and stare at the leader. In running water probably not much of an issue.... Why would you not use the strongest line you can get away with to land the fish in the quickest manner? Sorry the idea of "overkill" is lost on me Just an opinion
  7. This is too funny...I use 12lb Maxima for nymphing....like they really care when you are worming. Don't try it...it will never work. I tie my upper fly on to a perfection loop with a snelled fly
  8. I think the actual amount of poaching that goes on is staggering. The lack of funding directed toward enforcement in our province allows those with greedy desires to do pretty much whatever they want. There seems to be a slowly increasing number of folks who actually care about limiting their consumption of wildlife, but I think they are still vastly in the minority.
  9. Just bring your golf club. It really is the only place in the Bow with any quality fish. They have all transported to that 2km section. Please be courteous with other 72 fellows
  10. No white birds but I did see some Pintails today
  11. Only guys who catch LOTS of steelhead get one....maybe in a few more years you will get on the list....
  12. I just use some 40lb mono with some beads...fish don't seem to mind
  13. Now Don, we need to promote golfing not fly fishing. Fly fishing is very dangerous especially with all those big nasty dogs and big buck rainbows with nasty teeth. It's getting crazy busy down here in Cowtown
  14. Perhaps my first post was somewhat unhelpful. Be willing to move/explore. Here is my plan: Find the next stupid one (or for me, the next one that feels sorry for me)
  15. Probably a big winter kill....the river isn't good any more....lots of guys should take up golf and get off the river
  16. Looks very Cutty friendly Terry.
  17. Great shots. Thanks for letting us share the ride
  18. A sustained rain in a localized area, delayed snow melt.....perfect storm. The land was not going to soak up this freak event. I doubt we will see it again in our lifetimes
  19. monger

    Confused

    Traditionally most are gone by the third week of April. Perhaps they will leave sooner with warmer temps
  20. But this could never be as fun as dragging a worm under a bobber Thanks for the show Taco
  21. Try some with a bit of a "gurgler lip" on the front as well
  22. Interesting to see the difference in spots on the creek browns vs the ones in the Bow
  23. Old farts, old fashioned rods and old trout....Perfect!
  24. Dee Chatani from Trout Chasers and Iron Bow has been around since the '80s. Lots of skill and experience to offer.
