This government has not learned a damn thing !! they should check and see what happened to some of the great rivers in New Brunswick and to the wild areas there when nobody was watching the IRVINGS and their logging practices. The mountain sides here will not hold if the block or clear cutting is done the same way, and who the hell wants a mono forest anyway.. Let it burn as natural and regrow as natural.. the only true way to do it. we want to let the National parks go back natural historical bio spaces then let this special space do the same!!!

Well I believe that the Ideal weight for the Bow river is about 160 - 180Lb and that is without added Fly Fishing gear.. Anymore then that and you will not last the day fly fishing as the Bow is a big river, any less and you risk getting punked by the grade school class skippers that hang around there to smoke dope or stolen Players lights.. Add the necessary Fly gear and you would go about 220lb heavy enough to stand the current if you are brave or dumb enough to actually get in the water and heavy enough if you are a lazy bastard and get a guide to row you fat aZz down the river make the bugger work for his money!!!.. If this post was about the weight of a fly rod for the river then I don't know or careless... Brookies Forever!!!!

Honest reply there are no invasivies only introduced species!!!! Who have taken advantage of the opportunity that was given them. They will not leave the park boundaries anyway !!!!!!!

I hope you are brighter around water then those methane excreting bovine beasts you are so fond of.. The one thing that truly make me disrespect cows is their fondness for standing in water drinking said water, while they PIZZ it out the other end!!! I can see it now - Taco standing on his Float tube in Police Lake dipping his rusty lead drinking cup in the lake while he is PIZZing in a westerly direction!! Hopefully not to close to the campground playground!!!!! Hope to see you on the lakes this year, I will be the guy catching fish from shore... Missed you at the Expo..

To Flytyer, Steve Murphy, Bhurt, Silver Doctor, Murray, San Juan Worm, FlytyerKyle, Ladystrange, and Pete Kauhausen of Amundson. Kerry does not frequent Fly Fish Calgary BB all that often, so as soon as I saw this I thought I would express my heart felt gratitude to all those involved. Ladystrange, Gentlemen Thank you so very much. It is a very good thing you do, and I know that those wonderful examples of your talents will benefit a Soldier in the Program. You all have shown the true heart of FFC, and for that I am very thankful. Please stay tuned to our web site as it will be changing some and we will be posting and boasting about this fine gesture.. Thanks again Ray Flyfishfairwx Fairweather.

I am not sure what your medical condition is but I bet there is a big hard to pronounce name for it.. PS time to up your meds as well..

That looks like a Roman Moser Balloon Caddis!! At least in the style of a RM BC..

Not bloody likely....

I have already signed on for the fight on http://www.sexyloops.com/index.shtml. My only worry is that Green Peace is a part of this and that they may use it as tool to stop sport fishing later on the back end of this fight.. It is just a worry of mine, I blame GP for a lot of the Ocean stocks collapse in the Maritimes, after they got the seal harvest stopped with in a few years the salmon slowed and then the seals went after anything - there is now over 6+million seals in the Atlantic and they are damn hungry, plus they need the energy to bred so will be looking for more food!!!! Historically the seal #'s were 800,00 - 1.2million, prior to stopping the seal harvest..

I am in!!! I need the help I can only carry 2 - 5gallon pails of 4 - 6 thousand fry at a time... I will get rid of those pesky bows and stupid cutts soon, just getting revenge for the Browns taking over in the east.... Taco Your frying pan full of Cut-Bull-and Brown trout looks great - just add a Bow and you will have a grand slam breaky...... For all you Knuckle Draggers I am just kidding --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Maybe...

Pet Peeve somebody calling this a Fly fishing site!!!

WRT the Fire Picture I posted in "pet Peeves" There is near nothing I take more seriously then being responsible in the outdoors.. I brought my own kindling and used dead fall, and as you can see I brought my own grilling sticks... Area was cleaned and nary a sign was left of this very small fire.. I truly understand the concerns of LS and others.. All due care and considerations were taken when making the fire..

Best way to cook those pesky Cutthroat that get in the way of my Brook Trout stocking in the Porkys... Deer Brats this Dec on the Crow..

Well, that and getting my Waders tore by Barbwire.. and my fishing buddies not being happy for me when I steal fish from their named runs.. what's up with that????

We should get out together some time this winter...

I live on the west side tartan cir.. On your way in the door or window, say hello to Thor and Fischer over 2oo lbs of fur,fangs,feet and tail... Thor the Golden Retriever and Fischer the King German Shepherd... If you get as far as the line you can have it... If I have to call 911 for your ambulance then well I will have to stop feeding the boys so well, if I have to call the corner then the boys get an extra ration for Christmas Dinner. Merry Christmas Fischer has stood up to two Wolves and a Black bear.. Thor is just physio...

My pet Peeve -- Some Knuckle dragging mouth breathing Cowboy from Claresholm, preaching Trout killing on a Fly fishing Forum, and over the limit trout killing to boot... Introduced by Biologists probably Albertan biologists to boot, not invasive!!!!! Have you kissed a Brook Trout today!!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New year, you old hoof checker, didn't think I was just going to let you get away with it did you? My actual Pet peeve is anyone that gets to the fishing spot before I do!!!!!

As part of my field testing of this line I have tried to fish it in a variety of conditions, I think from -15c to +5c, sunny with sharp ice shelves and frozen guides, fly lines, leaders and FLIES !!! To sunny Chinook weather and mini icebergs, should cover it for now, so here is the report with Pictures this time.. The Fly line - WF-6_F Willow/orange Scientific Anglers Mastery Textured Series Nymph/Indicator.. The line claims to have and extra powerful turnover for multi nymph rigs and indicators, well it sure does and it will even turn over a fully frozen three nymph rig and Thingamabobber and it's self the frozen fly line.. what great day that was, the line held up great, no signs of cracking or strain on the line, my TFO may claim it wants stress leave but I put it right back to work, on the actual Winter Solstice Dec 21, and they both performed great. Seven great Crowsnest river trout to hand, damn near to my backing twice, and extra accuracy and distance to my cast, I am starting to think big foam monster flies in the summer with this line!!!! 19 Dec 2010 -15c, lots of casting and clearing of ice, no fish just a great day to be out with friends Easy to see indicator tip.. Some of the net results

just go to the Korker guide boots,clean and change the soles as required.. Problem solved ---- NEXT!!!!

Hi Gaffer I sent you a PM Great line and you will find that it is like sharkskin but not like shark , there is a "texture" there but sort of like trout scales on a 4in Brook trout compared to a 20 inch Lake white fish... So again sorry I will be fishing the line and fishing it hard, to test it of course , Well Somebody has to do it!!!

Tuesday Paul (Harps) and I went fishing, he just wanted to go fishing . I had a purpose to go fishing of course, I had been asked to field test a fly line, I am not a technical type of person, in my profession which was Combat Communications for the CF, I was very technical it was what was expected of me. But in the life after the Army I am not, so this line I am testing was not going to get hooked up to a spectrum Analyzer or Cast Analyzer or even a Spectrum Competent Caster Person Analyzer. This was just to be a “what do you think of it” test.. The answer is loved it, it casts big heavy three nymph rigs very well never had a one not turn over, and I did damn well in the vagrant 60KPH winds as well. The line is the Scientific Anglers SA Mastery Textured Series Nymph/Indicator Textured Nymph line WF-6-F, DO NOT THINK SHARKSKIN ! Nope no where’s near that, very fine texture, light noise if you can even call it a noise, I have and will do a lot more casting and fishing with it, to get a deeper understanding of what the line can do. The line performed better then expected, I have a very haphazard style of fly casting, I am sure that it added yards to what I can do with a 3 nymph set up.. Also the line has a nicely coloured tip section of Florescent orange and a willow olive main line, so was very easy to see with the light conditions and when the tip was drug under by the current the tip was very easy to see and follow, The streamlined loop was easy to use and did not feel like it would crack or give out.. So this is my first crack at fishing with a purpose other then just going Fly fishing... I never need a reason to go tho I have lots of reasons to go, this one was not a selfish one.. My picture taking skills were crappy that day, so I will not insult you with a bad picture..

That purple colour is the colour it turns when I hold it too tight and for too long, and slowly move my hand up and down it to make sure not a single inch is left untouched for as long as I can hold out, this brings me such joy that I would do it 50 times a day if I could without getting caught ... Choking the living Crap out of some dumb Bustard who so richly deserves it!! brings me such joy!!!!!! Besides that the vise is nice just not my style, but and there is always a but - I love the colour..

Looks like it's finally yule time again... Yule be stressed... Yule be broke... Yule get into petty fights with your family... Yule eat too much... Yule be wondering how long till it's over... Merry Christmas!!

My advice - Get a Nor-vise....problem solved.. surprised Flytyer did not suggest that!! other then that the half hitches work best or if your materials lend themselves to it, twist your thread with the material to strengthen the material.
