monger

I'm getting there. Especially with the cookie cutters in the Bow. But there is always the chance something over 25" will eat...I want to touch those ones.

I will get to work on making some worms for you so you can get back to nymphing those big, fat Cutts out of their honey holes. Unfortunately my pattern is very old school (using Amnesia) so it may not work as well as your new hi-tech worms.

Thanks for letting me follow in your footsteps Sir. Lots of colors to look at in your picture. It was a pleasure

BA, I just have a T3 in 7mm

No we didn't really fish much water that holds those scary monsters. Might have to go again, the Dr wants to play.

It was a fun couple of days. Too bad Cutts don't fight at all and just kind of roll around...but they sure eat dries nice and live in beautiful country

Sounds like a great trip. Spring comes late up high, those fish are still sporting their spawning colors. Interesting to see how big the spots are on them. Thanks for the pics

Bob, you can only use a nymph hook if the barb is in the position of the hook I posted.....on the outside of the bend. Otherwise the Cutty police say it is appropriate to use a dry fly

You guys are all confused about these wily Cutts....its not the fly type that is important...it is the secret, unique hook that gets them:

I find if you are using barbless hooks vs crimped barbed hooks (with a bump remaining) there is a difference in landing rate

P10 no good for 304? I saw a bunch of swamp donkeys last year...nothing big, just good eaters. Not quite sure where to go. Big giant ones tend not to taste good I'm told. Seems like a lot of meat not to enjoy it. My young son says not to worry because he will pull the trigger for me...darn kids. Wait all this time and he wants all the glory. I might have to wait until I'm on the geezer team next time around to get my first bull moose. Jared I'm looking forward to seeing the buck you get...should be a wallhanger if you are patient enough. Learn how to do the gutless method for removing meat, it is the only way to go.

I feel like such a purist after watching my bobber disappear so many times last night from my tube. Maybe if I used a cane rod and a bobber I could feel more like I was fly fishing. Catching fish is still fun no matter how you do it

I'm still waiting...next year moose time (P10) with my Tikka

People use NYMPHS for Cutts???????....don't that make you feel dirty. They were designed to be fooled on top. Just kidding....well maybe

They used to pay their slave labour $5.50/hr years ago...now they want them for free. Our government is very interested in investing in wildlife

Awesome Jeff. Sweet to get a 50lber. Bullshead won't seem as exciting now:) What was your guide's name?

I wonder how many holes over 10ft there are below Calgary

What is the advantage of a 24ft sink tip rather than a 10-15ft tip in a river situation?

Always WAY too many! Last lake I went to I had about 9 boxes of flies with me. I used 1 fly. But there are days when a guy needs to look in a number of different boxes to try and improve the odds.
