  1. all i can say "why would someone do something that stupid."
  2. I purchased that book must be at least 10 years ago. I had the same problem finding the product so I actually called him up. He and I had a lengthy call(phone bill was tremendous)as I forgot it was overseas. Very brillant man. He advised me to go two places to solve the issue:a static sign developer shop for the film and drafting store for panatone markers. I have enough of the material for 10 life times and it cost me zip as I pick up the material that the store classified as scrap. It is clear film with a white glossy paper backing they use it as a base for store window signage and with a brush of the marker bam it is coloured(the colour does not wipe off as the film absorbs it in). Makes crazy works of art. M
  3. Is oliver edwards the same person the wrote the book called "Masters Class" which had amazing life like stonefly imitations?
  4. Would you be able to explain further on the set up you use? Is it leader(9'), swivel, tippet(? Inches), hook, tippet(? Inches), hook, tippet(? Inches), hook. or do you add more swivels along the line. Also is your cast style modified(slow open loops)
  5. Received the order on Friday and all was there even a few free items. Products were top notch and yes they state that they accept Canadian Tire money on par......this will not be the last order for this place. m
  6. here is an option http://www.springcreekprams.com/
  7. just placed an order with TMS.... I will let you know how it turns out. Prices were very good...just hope the delivery is equally as good. m
  8. Are TMS prices in US or Canadian funds?

    Goodbye

    Sorry for your loss. My condolences. M
  12. Fyi, Costco south has the new Minn Kota Traxxis in 50 lbs thrust. Cost is $399. I also contacted Minn kota regarding the $50 USD rebate and was told that it will qualify. Just need to add model number to the bottom of the list. This is the cheapest that I can find. 55 lbs thrust goes for $500 before rebate. Minn Kota also told me that the 5 lbs delta will not be a noticable difference. M
  13. I agree that economic downturn has people spending less. But is it not better for a store to tell the folks that they are not getting more in vs telling them it will be in next week when they have no intentions? What bugs me more is that I called first and they told me that they stocked all the shelves even the specific product that I asked about. Sorry for the rant. I feel much better. m
  14. I have gone to Wholesale Sports back in Mid February and then Today and am very frustrated that the inventory of the fly tying materials hasn't changed. You do not need to have an MBA to figure out that if you have no stock you have no sales. I asked back in Feb if they were getting more stock in and they advised that the stock would be in over the next week or so. The same items that I asked about are still empty today. I asked again today and they told me to come back next week. I think the staff have been sheep dipped way too long. I need to find a better store. m
  15. agree. i live in chaparral and would hate to have tonnes of outsiders on our lake. If you ever have a perch day and are willing to bring me and my family i am willing to come and do my part in perch annihilation. i used to be very efficient in perch cleaning. I could use couple hundred fish in my diet. m
  16. Perch taste very good. Pan fried, pickled, and smoked. When I was young my neighbour would have perch on the smoker almost every day in the winter. Why don't the sundance board open the lake to fishing to non residents. The don't see. Possible down side as long as the residents have no issue. Maybe every other weekend. Where I grew up we had an amazing perch fishery but with a 30 daily limit in less then 5 years you couldn't catch a fish as they were eliminated. M
  17. Why can't the motor push the boat. I was planing on having it on the back of the boat and as you would on an alum boat and let it push me forwards. Tung can you explain further. M
  18. Two person pontoon boat 100 lbs. Two people with gear 500 lbs. Will be used on lakes when not floating on the bow. Was told get the largest that I can get but 80 lbs are very $$$$. M
  19. Was wondering if someone could tell me what size of trolling motor I would need for a two person pontoon boat. Confused about lbs of thrust vs horse power. Also how long would a battery last. M
  20. I have transferred VHS to DVD by using my Pioneer DVD recorder and a DVD-RW disc. takes a while but works perfect. m
  21. Was wondering if any one has used the product ultra wire to for tying copper johns? also was wondering if there is a chart to size the wire accordingly. it comes in 4 different sizes and the instructions that i have state to size it to the fly. thanks m
  22. the video was not online it came with the boat that i purchased. Dave Scadden pontoon craft technique.
