Thanks for the comments. The picture is not the greatest (got to figure out the close ups better). I like the idea of these challenges. Hopefully, I can get a little more creative.

Here's my stab at this one. A modification to a similar pattern I use only I added some hackle for a wet fly presentation. You could weight this fly, but I chose not. Actually managed to use 4 different species. Materials: Hook: Your choice #12-18 (I chose a #14 Daiichi 1710) Thread: 8/0 dark brown Rib: Fine copper wire Tail and back: pheasant tail Abdomen: Turkey tail (I like to use the dark portion near the tip) Wingcase: pheasant tail Thorax: peacock herl Hackle: partidge

While it is important to evaulate this from the protection side, Taco does bring up a relevant and significant point. Sun, I might be able to share some reports, but will have to check first. I have spent significant time on mitigating impacts to the local streams in the elk valley at all 5 mines. Specifically, my role was to ensure the streams and rivers were not being contaminated with anything detrimental to the trout population. There's a lot that goes into it. While some debates can be made for the overall impact to the land, I can ensure you from first hand experience that the trout populations have not been noticeably impacted. When an issue comes up, the mine itself will contact me immediatley looking for assistance. We then work along side the BC government to ensure the correct actions are used. I can also tell you that there is some very good fishing right next to these mines, which supports that they are doing something right.

That's because he should be using a SJW (the fly, not the moderator). No one can resist the attractivness of the SJW (the fly, not the moderator).

I like an old desk with a couple of side drawers. Then on top of the desk I have a small comparment cabinet and a few tupperware containers. Keeps it all neat and gives lots of room for materials and tying.

I hate people who have nick names that rhyme with "Irchy"

This is about power. Harper made a very bad call. But it's a bit ironic that he is trying to change the "system as it is designed", gets crucified by the opposition. Imagine, if he tried to change the very practice with which the coalition is acting upon? I’m guessing the same result. Fundamentally, how can anyone who believes in democracy, party representative or otherwise go for this? Whether the practice is place do this or not, I just don't buy it, but clearly 3 party leaders do. 38% apparently means nothing in political realm, but I would give my left nut to own 38% of Microsoft. A bit of an exaggeration, but the fact that there are more than 2 parties, 38% is enough of a share to rule the roost. While the timing of Harper’s funding cuts is poor, it is of even greater consequence that the coalition try to act now. Yeah, this is not good for Alberta, but it is not good for any part of Canada. That’s what I care about. So why should I be paying for a party that wants to take my belongings and start up their own family?

That's a sweet soup strainer. I'll match my original donation if you grow the handle bar.

Taco = Tako

I'm a hereford kid growing up. I'm not a fan of these holsteins. I like my steak more than milk.

SO that's where the term "F... a duck" came from. Been licked, kicked and ran over by my share of cows. Wife's family has a 150 head dairy farm that I always seemed to get cornered by the ones in heat.

Umm, I didn't even think of that....

Right on Rick. I'm in. Friend of mine goes for surgery Dec.12.

My bro is a cop. In training, he volunteered to get tazered. Long story, but the electrodes (or whatever they are) broke off in his spine. Had a free trip in the ambulance. If you look at all the incidents, I think the actual manufacturer should be held more accountable for this product than the cops using them. It's a brutal job that is getting more and more difficult. You couldn't pay me enough money to be one, so to judge them is pretty difficult. Some people in general are jerks, but don't diss cops. By the way, my brother said the tazer incident was still WAAAAY better than getting hit with pepper spray. Birchy, I don't she was sleeping. Must have been reaching for something on the floor.....

Can we get back to the fighting please. Sorry teh fighting. I have changed teh spell check on my laptop from the to teh. If I had a nickle for every teh I read each day. Do you have to spoon using a two man spey rod?

Sorry, I had moose chilli last night. As for MTB having 7 days off every 2 weeks.....F#$k off!

Rick, You should teach your shark how to heel. Makes for a more pleasant walk. Nice fanny pack. jk.

Fart smell = H2S makes sense. But what's the deal with asparagus?

Looking for favorite ice fishing baits for Bullshead this winter. Suggestions?

Bull Trout Recipe: 1 whole Mid-Spawn Bull trout, you can tell by the spawn colors 2 cloves garlic 1 lemon 5 white onions Cook until black, then toss away and order a pizza

Does the SJW work in the bow? I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Forgot to mention add the gold bead. Thread - tan 8/0 http://www.gearapalooza.com/product/157830...s-12-nymph.html

Haven't tied one, but it appears to be a modified copper john/ lightning bug type pattern Try this: Hook: your preference, my guess would be #14-18 straight shank Tail: Pheasant tail Abdomen: holographic tinsel Thorax: Peacock hurl Wingcase: Flashback Legs: Pheasant tail Appears to be no wire wrapping for the abdomen, but you could throw in some copper wire to add some strength.

I have to re-iterate the service at Fish tales. these guys are awesome.
