I use the crap outta this site! www.atlas.gc.ca/toporama/en/index.html you can get any topo map in any scale you want!
I have had an Delorme inreach SE for a few years. In addition to it being able to communicate anywhere, the mobile app is amazing and allows you to download areas of topo data that you define. Check it out

I have been using a Loop Greyline 3 wt. 9 ft. With loop reel, I have landed some very nice cuts, and some 3-4 lb. bulls, very happy with the setup.have also used a Winston B IIIx 2 wt, on cuts, and bulls 3-4 lbs. both great rods.
If you ever wanna sell that grey line lemme know!

Rain Gear, Tarp, back up rods. Youre taking 2 women on a 3 day float you will probably need to tow another boat behind you for all thier gear!

Would some consider this "hotspotting" for reels?
What if the information was made public in this forum about where one might aquire one of the reels listed above. The whole fishing world may go to pot.
Love my Hardy 4000 DD

Broke the tip of my Loop Opti Stream last year, (only rod I ever broke) The Loop service was outstanding from Troutfitters, I had my replacement section back and on the water in a couple of weeks. Great customer service. Its nice to have companies stand behind their products.
Ill 2nd that! The fellas at Loop, pro staff and Troutfitters sure make it fun to break a rod! I wont buy anything else!

Unreal! Im interested in buyin some of those bad boys! Where can i view em?

Looking for any recommendations on an outfitters/guides in the Ft lauderdale area.
I have a couple days in early December... Ive seen an option for night fishing on a couple sites. Has anyone done a night trip and was it worth it?
Thanks in advance

You never wear "ginch" under a kilt, Doc.

There is an A-Hole in every bunch, Although a shitty way to end ur day it wouldnt stop me from fishing where I want when I want. For every terrible BC experience im sure most of us can recount dozens of great ones.
The commentary about British Columbians not liking us because of oil money and ragging on BC guides for LEGALLY guiding alberta waters are some of the reasons we get tha rap over there.
Our (Alberta) regulations allow just about anybody that wants to call themselves guides to do so and be rewarded monitarily at OUR resources and Alberta guides expense. The Regulations and Licencing Fee structure in BC is not to hit Albertans in the pocket book. Its in place to ensure that a resource and resident guides are not exploited. If angling pressure increases so do revenues, that resouce will be sustained, and policed by CO's. When is the last time any of you called RAP and got a call back in under a day????Unfortunately for us Albertans our elected officials could give 2 shits about natural resources other than oil and gas.
Its really up to us to continue to lobby for significant regulation changes in Alberta. They need to happen now! For both the fisheries themselves and our Albertan Guides, whom our elected officials allow to be robbed daily by non-resident guiding.

Awesome! I love birds of Prey.. Been meaning to get down to the sanctuary.. I spent a day at the Pacific Northwest Birds of Prey Centre in Ducan last year.. Some pretty amazing creatures...

I have an Ir4 ,not large arbor.its full with my 5 wt line on it. its my go to reel on my Z 5wt, balances perfict.
And they can be had for under $300
I think thats the point! Spend an extra 200 and buy one... You'll always be able to find somebody to pay $300 for it.. After a few years those others are $50 reels

I use my go pro all the time... Love it!! I have the head mount, suppose I look like a bit of a douche with it stuck up on my head but dont really care.
I love it for the fact that I really never have to handle a fish and get more super sweet footage than you would man-handeling a posible fish of a lifetime. If you spey cast.. Im sure youve had times in the day when your cast completley brakes down.. I just put it on the bank behind me let er' roll.. Improved my Casting and eliminated hrs of frustration with a few minutes of video!

I'd call the airline your travelling with and ask, provide dimesions to them. Most aircraft are equipped with a large closet up front for which allowable carry on luggae that will not fit in the overhead bins is for. You can also check it prior to boarding the aircraft itself, they call it sky check. It will be brought back out the the cabin door once you land... I do with my kids stollers all the time.

I love Islanders - my fave.
Totally! 100% the best reel in its class bomb proof and super simple... in 50 years these will be the hardy reels that are so collectable now!
-
Smitty,
What rod are you planning to match the reel to and what will be your primary use of the reel?... Streamers, dry fly, nymphin do you plan to use on the bow, lakes, high country streams?
