I just got back from 2 weeks of holidays and was 3 weeks behind at that point..... I got BHURT, TIMJ, Caster...us and 2 others I guess. Sorry all!! My sched is as follows... Next week, Monday fishin the Highwood all day with littlemoodz if ya wanna join pm me were leavin' early. Tues-Sat eve's are open. All day Sunday I'm free.

Interesting...... Your perception of the "World Game". Isn't the passion we share here on this forum a series of back and forth..... back and forth..... back and forth? Have you ever spent a day on the river and yeilded not a fish? And for many of us 90 mins would hardly count as a day of fishing. For those who are passionate about the game of Football, it is about what happens in between the goals if any. As I'm sure, all here (this fourm) would atest to..... fly fishing is more about what happens in between the fish to hand, if any. My 2 cents

Keith and I made it out Wed eve.... Sure was a nice night, wish I could say the same about tha fishin'. Foutunatley.... the company was better than both. Great to meet ya Keith and shoot me a PM whenever you're in need of a fishin' buddy. This leauge thing just keeps gettin' better Keith 1 / Me SKUNKED

I bought waders for my 6 year old this spring.. I bought her the Hodgman breathable stocking foot, 85$ ( http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colemancom/...6004&brand= ). 3.5mm of neoprene on a summer day gets really freakin hot, I took an old pair of her running shoes and put 8 screws per sole for added traction. She loves them... Dan Bailey also makes childrens waders..... if ya gotta have the neoprene check out this link http://www.ruggedoutdoorkids.ca/#/waders/4540532275 Craig

Great Read!!

Where abouts did ya fish the Little Red Deer? Im headed up Sun and Mon... along the forestry trunk road. Last night was a blast .... we did'nt see many risers but it should'nt be long till all the trouts are lookin' up.... a huge olive hatch to start. Rufus was covered in em, saw a few huge caddis.... flashback pt nymphs, evil weevils and caddis pupa seem to the drug of choice as of late.... I've been swingin' em below the leech. Fish are definitely movin' up into the faster water and much more aggressive on takes. Lookin' forward to the next few weeks as the river starts to come alive. Thanks again Rufus good ta meet ya, and we'll get out again soon. Keith, looks like we're up next shoot me a pm and we'll make a plan.

My wife wears the Orvis waders (http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=0G2X&dir_id=758&cat_id=5599), she's about 5'9". If you would like to try em out for a day....I'm sure she would have no problem with it. Craig

I currenty have an Airflo 40+ WF7F.... great for the single hand stuff, found out pretty quick it's not a switch line. Gonna try the Beulah Tonic 320 on it.

I can highstick it if I want. It's not a czech nymphin' rod but..... I'll use it as one from time to time.

I was out Fri night (Apr 30), chucked some streamers with my new rod!!! CDONE custom built me this bad boy, the Amudson 11' "trout spey" and what a job he did Ive been lookin for sometime to find a light switch with a removable butt and no luck. Dave a fishtale put me in touch with CDONE (Thanks Dave) and voila....I got a light switch with the removable butt. Most fish came on the trailing nymph ( #18 evil weevil) did get a few on a # 8 brown leech. Any way...... on to tha porn That last brown taped just over 23".... took me into my backing twice! what a way to break in the new rod. If anybody is lookin' for a custom job his work is nothin' short of fantastic, as you can see. Thanks Colin!

Happy B-Day Mike, Have a gooder

I picked up a 8wt winston ascent ( http://www.winstonrods.com/flyrods/caliber/ascent ) Fished most of what run off we had last year with it , and love it. Great for bulls and chuckin' streamers. I put an airflo 40+ type 7 on it sinks like a rock.

$75 ON 45 PLEASE Craig

Fly fishin' + meetin' new people + learnin' new skillz = Awsome. Add a few cold beer and ya can't go wrong!! Bhurt, We're up next week.... you good fer Wed? PM me and we'll make a plan. Craig

FNG and I were out tonight!!! We were nymphin' from 4:30 till 6:30...... SKUNKED...... Then, the wind shut down so we went on the hunt fer trout snout. Found em'!!! Here's a few pics from our night. We had a blast (and a few beer to) !!!!! Lookin' forward to every Wed night fer tha rest o' the summer.

Lady, I'm pickin up that same stick next week ..... lookin' forward to it!!! Mike, Let's say In my match-up with Lady we agree to go head-to-head with our switch rods? Any objection?

Well..... I guess i'll just have to tell the wife that "rules are rules" so I'm gonna have to buy that new Echo Freshwater 2 stick by next week so I can comlpy with the league rules. This really sucks

What's with the max rod length? This is a formal grievance. !!! You out fished me with a 9'.

Has anyone fished the Demon cartridge reels? Or.... any cartrige reel? If ya factor in the cost of a couple spare spools on other reels this seems like a steal!!!! Even if ya burned out a few cartridges they're reel cheap to replace I guess what im lookin' for is.... how does a cartridge hold up when a reel big fish is rippin' line off ur spool vs a machined spool. Thanks in advance.

Sweet!!!

An Epic afternoon!!!! I lost count of the fish I landed, 2 came on a # 18 pt nymph all others on dries (midge and bwo). Only 1 bow and at least a dozen brown's Biggest was 24" Here's a few pics.

Got out a few times over the weekend...... Fishin' was great!!

I'm in fer sure. Darrin...... there is no way the wife is gonna let ya out the house.
