Not a Gatti G-4, just brought mine out, different printing. j

Shop around. There are others that may be less expensive with more durable lines/loops. j

That isn't a Gatti G-4 blank, is it? j

The FF Expo at Spruce Meadows is going to provide you with hands on experience as well as the ability to chat up people who beach fish on the coast. j

Black Stone Hook-Mustad R73 #10 Thread- Black 6/0 Tail- Raven biots Legs- Raven biots Wing- Clipped Raven tail feather Thorax- Self-made mix of black nylon yarn/ black wool dubbing Thorax- Sparse black hackle(one wrap) Abdomen- 6 mm black glass seed beads I cannot claim this fly as "mine", it was shown to me several years ago and I've gladly copied it ever since. j

With Rick, I adjust during the fight. On salmon streams, I tighten it until the flow doesn't pull line out. j

Brunsie didn't mention he'd be bringing "company" ! j(making arrangements for more groceries)

Are you sending me ANOTHER LIST ?? j

"This show has been postponed and will not be broadcast tonight. Tune next week to our LIVE Show...January 13 - 7:00 PM (MT)" Brian has been fighting a stubborn cold for about a week and has lost his voice again! j

My first one, Rick, what breakfast thing ??? j

Yup. For the whole thing. Booth 46/47 j

Tied! For the longest time in the 3rd I thought not only was I going to host Rick this fall, but supply him with Coors Original, too !!! Still might have to, if the "Reds" can't get around the U.S.'s superior positional play. j

Bass probably are more resilient than rainbow trout, as far as living environment is concerned. They certainly are comfortable in a much wider range of water temperatures, in much lower oxygen content(might explain the extended out of water thing) and in water with a much higher organic suspension content. And yes, I agree that the handling of bass on TV shows is a disservice to fish handling of other species. j

Yup. Them are "My Ducks" j

To hell with hockey... today. Go Ducks! j

Most freshwater fish have a very well developed sense of smell/taste. Basically, smell and taste are caused by chemical molecules in the water. The olfactory rosette is the organ in fish that detects the chemicals. Saltwater rays and sharks have the most developed rosette and can small/taste as low as 1 part per billion. Most species of trout have a sense that will sense around 5-6 parts per million. That's my info from an experienced freshwater fisheries biologist, with 32 years experience. j

Come out to Bella Coola next fall. Non classified and is crazy with fish. Just a helluva long drive, that's all. j

"I got my fill of BC classified waters last year so its just a regular license for me." Well, if the purpose of those Classified Waters regs and charges was to encourage non-residents to spread the fishing pressure around, then it's working, isn't it? j

If you get an email entitled: "Nude Picture of Rita McNeil.....DO NOT OPEN IT !!! It contains a nude picture of Rita McNeil. j

All BC Licensing will be online as of April 1st 2010. That's not saying that a shop can't do it for you and charge a proxy fee. j

"ALL give some, Some give ALL."

Ohhhhh nooooooooo !! :$*%&: j

I tend to agree, rehsifylf. Voting to leave and being independent and voting to join are entirely different. Don't know whether throwing in the "Western Canada" concept is valid, but even just as an independent BC, I would choose to stay independent and join no one. j

1. A J.S. Sharpes that my grandfather had ordered from Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1924. 2. A Wright-McGill fibreglass that my father had 3.
