The guy in the lincoln sounds like a D-bag, maybe he will think twice before blocking the boat launch and being an dick to anyone who calls him on it. It probably wasn't the most professional move by the guide.

Hey guys, In the winter/spring I will be needing a place to park this rig: Does anyone know of any cheap places in town for outdoor parking? I don't need anything fancy, cheaper the better! Thanks!

Depending on the expected temps and where your going is usually what dictates what I wear. I recommend buying a pair of wading socks and ditching the waders on those hot days or big hikes. Your feet will stay a little warmer than just normal socks and you won't have to lug around your waders/boots. My 2 cents.

Nice captures sir

After my Korkers blew out in just over a year, I switched to Simms and went with the Riversheds. I've had these boots for going on to 3 years now and have been happy with their performance. Structurally, the boots are doing great....none of the seams have blown, the sole is still attached to the boot. I use these in a variety of environments, and have put a ton of KM's on them. Now getting to the actual Vibram sole, both the toe and the heel have worn down pretty good. There's pretty much no grip on them anymore, except for the center of the boot. These boots are starting to become pretty sketchy when I'm going down/up muddy or icy hills, I've started to think of maybe putting some studs in them although I really don't want to. From what I've heard, pavement does a pretty good number on the vibrams, so if your an exclusive Bow river guy and spend a lot of time walking on the bikepaths, then the life of the Vibrams might go sooner than if you were using them out in the bush. Now here's a question, does anyone know if a Cobbler would be able to put new vibrams on boots? Or is that crazy talk? I love my boots, and would much sooner fork over a little bit of cash to get some new soles put on instead of buying brand new boots. Hope that helps.

Nice captures, thanks for that!

Nice captures, looks like the season treated you well!

They are small and compact, and waterproof....well suited for fly fishing. As for making your fish look big.....turn widescreen mode OFF if you don't want everything to look distorted. Out of the box the underwater picture is a bit blurry, I would recommend looking into purchasing the BlurFix adapter for it if you plan on doing a lot of underwater stuff with it. With a decent sized memory card (16gb...17 dollars), you don't have to constantly be worrying about managing your card space as it would hold atleast 2hours+ of footage. If you have the space, why not use it.....

I have a pair and absolutely love them. They are good for those days on the lake where your battling the wind or have some distance to cover, as your spending less energy getting from point A to B. Downside of them is the cost, and if your hiking in anywhere remotely where weight is a concern (they are heavier than your standard set of flippers). I would recommend trying to pick up a used pair ( I found some on the AO forum). Cheers,

Thanks for the kind words guys! @Keith - I ended up getting pretty lucky while driving down the trunk rd with those Rams, I think they were a little more concerned with trying to showoff for the ewes than me. @Roach - You want more pics of sheep??? I have about 723113 pics of them if you want. Cheers, Brodie

Hey guys, Well its that time of year again, I finished going through all my photos from 2011. I'd say I had a great year and am reminded how lucky we are in this province. All of last year was spent exploring waters in Alberta and BC. Sorry, not all of these are not fish porn per say, however they are just memorable moments that I stick in my mind from 2011. I'm sure you all can relate, where you something sticks in your mind so vividly for various reasons....it could be that time that you landed your first fish, or finally arriving to your destination after marching through so much bush and muskeg that your wondering what the hell you were thinking before embarking on your trip, or fishing one of your favorite rivers while the sun is setting and your in the middle of an insane drake hatch. Hope you enjoy Indianpoint Lake near the start of the Bowron Lake Circuit One of my first bulls of the season Life in the Hammock.....you know your going to be somewhere different everynight The old man needed his beauty sleep Jake Gota with a nice Cuttie Captain and the Cuttie Drying off Rock plate dinner Night time King of the Mountain

Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to get out that way this year (I'm assuming those vids/pics are from around Fernie?).

I have found that the two part epoxy ( I forget what it is called, I can check when I get home from work) works the best. Use a toothpick and put a decent sized dab of it and then drop the eye on top and push down. Once you have put both eyes on, push and hold them together for atleast a minute with your thumb and index finger. The eyes generally stay on for quite a while but that is not to say they don't occasionally fall off after being ravaged. I love the EP fibre for most of my bully and pike flies.

Not a big fan of Korkers, owned a pair for just over a year, and ended up blowing out the heel on a canyon wall. I did put them through quite a bit of pain, but I think if your going to pay $200 for a boot then they should last a bit longer. I went with Simms for my second pair, and they seem absolutely bomb proof to me - I have just under two years into these with around 150-160 trips on all sorts of terrain without any major damage. I will be buying Simms again. And I agree with pkk on the whole Studs & Boat thing.

Arm pits!

Nice captures Birchy, any recommendations on places/perches outside of the city to get some "non-polluted"shots?

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing, some nice browns!

Nice pics sir, these definitely bring back some memorable days we had on the water

So if this is for at school, is there any sort of video/movie club?? If there is, have them "volunteer" to help you make your video. Its a win/win situation. They are learning skills to shoot/edit film, and at the same time they are producing something you can use for recruitment of the fly-fishing club. If one of those clubs does exist, chances are they would have access to video equipment as well which would otherwise cost you a fair chunk of change. As soon as you stray away from the p&s/go pro option, you are looking at putting some serious cash into the project (camera, memory cards, batteries, tripod, editing software, etc. ), which is fine if that is truly what you want to do and also have some extra money sitting around. I thought fly fishing was expensive, UNTIL I started getting into photography/video. My 2 cents....

Can you put any standard 55mm filter on it, or is it made to only fit on a certain brand of filter?

Have you purchased the flat lens adapter?? I've been looking around at a few different ones and was looking for some input on which company to go with. I was looking at the "BlurFix" one....heard much about it?

Awesome, good work.
