I try to use a tupperwear container but I find static electricity is really frustrating (especially maribou) - is there a way to eliminate that ? - I think I'll buy a can of static guard and give that a try before I get materials all over the desk
dust buster seems like a good idea - next time I see one at a thrift store or garage sale I'll pick one up
I use half of the plastic container my first fly tying kit came in to catch the materials, well most of them anyways. Had same problem with static used the dryer sheets rubbed them on the container seems to work well. Also good for keeping synthetic hair under controll. I actually leave a couple sheets in my materials drawer.

I perfer the red gamakatsu octopus hooks because you can fish em right out of the package no materials needed

It is very hard for anyone to say if they have the flu the symptoms are essentially the same as any cold, although typically worse. I have spoken to a few people who have lived through a flu this season and they basically had all the respiratory issues coupled with extreme fatigue lasting for days and a high fever. The stomach/lower intestinal issues are only a bonus for a lucky few.
Although they are not testing anyone to see if it is H1N1, if you have the flu you probably have H1N1 as it is the strain of influenza that is most common currently.
We ended up taking our 2 year old to the screening clinic on Sunday and then to Childrens for xrays, turned out to be pneumonia and not the flu. The ER Doctor that we saw mentioned that there are also a few really nasty cold strains going around.
In regards to getting the H1N1 shot after having flu the Alberta Health Services website states "People who get the H1N1 vaccine who have had prior H1N1 infection are not expected to have any adverse reactions." So if you are unsure and are high risk you probably still want to get it.
Lots more info for anyone who wants it:

Well thats a surprise. Either your gonna be there for a while or that is one heck of a courier you got. Sorry your intial post reminded me of the visitors who would catch their daily limit go back to their cabin and then go out and catch their limit again. Enjoy Tofino, beware the swine flu

I think that there are those of who tie our own that take fair trade into account when purchasing materials. I have heard of people deliberately not buying Chinese made hooks simply because they were chinese and not because they were lower quality.

Vike - or viking was a nickname in university referring to the Minnesota Vikings, even though I am a 49ers fan and I do have swedish heritage.

That is just horrible for so many reasons. Besides the obvious loss in terms of the number of sockeye its going to make tough economic times even worse for all the commercial fisherman and for the natives who depend on these runs for food and a living. Time for the governments, provincial and federal, to open there eyes and regulate the fish farms.

I'm gonna throw this out there, but will probably get ridiculed for it b/c it's veggie...
Annpurna Curry Pot on 52 and Memorial SE
Former owners were AWESOME, but they sold and it's still very good!

Is it still there we used to go occasionally but it was closed for renos the last time and we haven't been back to check? And btw i think it is fully the other end of the spectrum than the intent of this thread.
-
Interesting you would use non-lead based weight and then lead eyes, but like you mentioned, you used what you had... I try to use no lead consistantly, but I think I have a few lead eyes left, as well...
Great tie!

I am trying very hard not to use lead but... I am not going to just throw out what I already have.

We are going to try to camp at Racehorse or Dutch next weekend and I was going to ask the same question so here I go with a thread hijack. Is it going to be aproblem getting a spot?

based on keeled streamer that I saw in Canadian Outdoorsman (I think?) but yes now that you mention it, it does remind me of a crazy charlie.
I didn't really follow any specific pattern just used the materials I had with the intention of making a streamer that would sink well and stay the right way up.
Materials List
Hook: Mustad Signature Circle Streamer 1x Long #2
Body: 2 pieces of non-lead one on top of the other, silver holographic tinsel, clear v-rib
Eyes: Lead painted barbells
Wing: Olive Super hair over chartreuse super hair over crystal flash

The discussion on circle hooks reminded me of a tie that I did last week, I apologize for the crappy photo.
-
I wasn't quite sure how to answer. Basically when I shopping for new hooks for a specific pattern I try to buy barbless if the are available however I have lots, probably around 95% of my hooks, with barbs. So I make an effort to pinch the barbs prior to putting the hook in the vice.
But I do like cake!

I totally understand your point. An option to this to register your real name and have it so that only administration can view it
I don't know I have met a few of the moderators and I am not sure that I would be willing to share that kind of info with them.

I found this and it says any person but I thought it might mean any Alberta Resident.

My brother in-law is visiting for a week and we plan on going fishing on sunday the 12th which is part of the free fishing weekend. He is from BC and I was wondering if he needs to purchase a license or not?

Blue seems liike an obvious choice as everything we do revolves around water, otherwise I like E and B.

bhurt is right I wasn't meaning randomly grabbing flies out of your box. I have a few patterns that I have success with routinely but not every time out that I will try each time out and can usually find one the group that works.
I quite often will roll rocks to see whats around.
-
What do people use for their big flies? I have been tying a lot of pike and articulated flies and was thinking of getting a new box just for them.
-
Set the hook....lots.
It sometimes takes an over aggressive take to get me in the habit of setting often. Don't get too caught up in what anyone recommends in terms of patterns, the real trick is to keep trying different flies until you find what works where you are at that particular time.
Oh and hire a quide if you can.

I really like Backcountry Labs' Extreme Elements SPF 45.
I tried some of this the other day when I was out and I didn't get burnt. Absorbs very well and seemed to hold up pretty well to getting wet.
Still gonna try to get some those sun gloves as my hands seem to be sensitive even if they don't end up burnt.
