Happy B-day Tiana, how you get to the water today.

holy crap diversity in the world. How could we let this happen. oh for shame oh for shame

OK, Brett. great idea dependant on the date and cost i'm all for it. but through all the Bitchin about rules and teams and blah blah blah the one and most Important question has not been asked. Will this be a DRY Banquet, BYOB type thing, or will there be a bar and how much will the drinks be. come on now Lads, wheres the priorities huh? Teck

judging by the cars in the back ground, Iwould guess the age of the photo as early to mid 60's so my guess is every fish got bonked any ways

thats cause not even hurricanes want to go to Quebec, know how hard it is for a wind to Howl in two official Languages. And I hope your family fairs fine. Teck

I have seen them in Bass tournaments in Ontario. their placing wasn't well but they are there occasionally.

I would definatly fight that 115 ticket for flashing lights, the cop has to prove, the distance. remember innocent till proven beyond a shadow of a doubt guilty. so he has to prove some how the distance between you and him. very hard ticket to stick same as following to close hard to stick that unless you rear end someone. just my .02 Teck

ok So I got my googles on, now what???

usually a Chevy venture, but I picked up a good condition 93 blazer Tahoe for the best price free all it needs is a new muffler, 4wd actuator, stereo. so no effect on my fishing adventures

sounds like an interesting read, please post Teck

My best is actually 4 small mouth bass, 1 dink,and 3 all over 3 pound taken after my father, told me that a fly rod is no way to fish for bass on the grand. Teck

same as the one in Vaughn mills ont. nothing really made me say wow, except the fish tank that was cool and yes i did have jumping in for a swim run through my mind.

my son has a 6wt launch and he likes it, I have cast a couple flies with it and wasn't bad.

thanks grasshopper you will definatly be seeing an order from me might want to checkout our bow river clean up thread. might make a very useful door prize for that. http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?showtopic=5866 Tight lines Teck

Talk with the good lads at fishtales, they'll take care of ya right. Teck

good report weedy, but 1 question, what do you do with your reels, you make that sound like fresh off a pole dance hot. I got a bit of wood reading that

thanks Toolman, new I could count on you.

CAll me a wanker or what ever you like, but for anything i caught here my Cheapass TFO reels work fine, I got them cause they are cheap and replacable, but I have found the both of them I have abused and beaten to rat *hit and they still work fine (ok they need a good cleaning) I look at them as the Chevette of reels the get you to where you need to be will take an incredible beating but you never will get the chick with one. just my .02 Tight lines Teck

ok my turn to chime in. I like bass pro they have excellent prices on alot of the big ticket things that I buy infrequently (ie waders, boot rods reels), but when I am getting ready for a day on the water and picking up the nessesaties (Leader, flies indies) or looking for tying supplies. Then I will be going to Fishtales why I like the staff, I like shooting the *hit and I get what their guides are seeing on the river. same reason I alway stop at vic's in Crowsnest and drop 30 40 bucks on flies and leader he and his guides now their *hit. and I'll get what is hitting on the river. so as far as I see there is a place for both (and in the long run the little guy will see more cash from me Cause I still feed a crap load of flies to the tree behind me ) Tight lines Teck

Yeah but that brown trout that they have in the aquarium is sick, as is the bow.

personally I would take a saturday and drive around calgary trying every rod available then on sunday make my picks. based on what siuted me best. Teck

Congrats Darth, enjoy the time ahead.

personally as a overwieght, heavy drinking smoker, I find the chemicals in purified sugar the least of my worries. but all the power to you. Tight lines Teck

Yeah he is cute, and cocky as hell, caught him this morning herding the cats in to the corner. saved him just as the cats (3 of them) started to tire of the game.
