this guy be sticking with the 444

I'm all for licencing guides. 100%.

I'm not one for 'classifying', but we do need to increase the licencing cost for everyone (including the in province). Bigger concerns are what the people of Alberta are doing to their backyards (livingstone, oldman, etc). Putting restrictions on places such as Mclean and Indian Graves just pushed the yahoos into an area that has far greater importance to the fishing population. Seems to me the Livingstone/Oldman has more to lose then Mclean or Indian Graves have left. I'd love to see the livingstone and oldman made the same as the upper highwood. Provincial park it, and run it as such. That would slow down the yahoo traffic quickly. speaking of hooliganery, I wasn't too impressed by the person waterskiing the Bow as i was fishing (yes you read it correctly, water ski). Perhaps there is some need for a few 'chats' with the government.

I'm confused how him asking between 2 different styles of simms boots, became an advertisement for korkers. odd.

stick it to the man! I'll make it out this year, let me know when and where!

Casting Right, Reeling Left is an American thing. Casting Right, Reeling Right is british and scottish...neither is more correct

Baby Tarpon and Bonefish love gummys (which is what they're tied for). Just as you could catch a fish on the bow using a bonefish bitter, gummys will catch the odd trout, but are in their hay-day around bonefish.

you'd expect someone with that signature would buy a sage..I like my T&T, but i've heard very positive reports about the Z-Axis switchs. Or you could drop the big bucks and buy one of those new Helios's that headscan posted about (you wanted light! never said anything about price range!)

because she's a chick??

Pat on the back to the Canadian Fly Fishing Mag team(Puget and Vokey), for completely selling out the small shops that carry your mag, hope you guys got paid big bucks to go to Bass Pro. Just my opinion Lame, very lame

Did you get on one of those silly last minute deals for 180 bucks or whatever they are?

you'll find sporadic fish rising to them, but they certainly don't key into the BWO's when compared to the fall BWO and Pseudo hatch. Always good to have a few dries just in case. They don't take up much room in the fly box, and you'll regret not having them when you need them!

where about in Chile were you?

She's gorgeous, so suddenly she's a goddess of fishing (not from the video's ive seen of her casting and fighting fish)..i'd rather talk to this lady any day of the week http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?showtopic=7945

Orvis, Rushton, Brodin, Fisknat and many other hand made nets: all over 100 bucks, and far nicer nets then anything you'll get for less then a hundred bucks

exactly. No statement of what the prize is, when the draw will be or where...pretty clever little way to get your name and email on their mailing list

I can confirm that who ever told you that, is simply 100% incorrect

very pretty brown...

I posted the photo, as i did a quick google image search on V-Loop, and this is what came up. As i stated before, it's very hard to explain the hauling into the loop, but i've seen it done, and can do it (just not as consistently as a single hand haul...). perhaps i'm not correct in the way it works, but it seems to for me. My name is Jason J. Jones, which got me some flak right off the bat, as my name seems to be the same as a popular film maker on the forum, so i changed my login name, as i was giving him a 'bad name'. I've been spey casting for roughly 5 years, on and off, but do a week on the mainstem skeena, and occasionally get to the Copper and Kalum in september. Fished the thompson once, before i picked up a spey rod. My favourite spey is a 1409-T&T. I have fished in florida a bunch, and still findthis to be my favourite fishing. I fish montana in may, then head back to calgary to wait for the july stones. my favourite fly shop is Troutfitters, followed by Gord's, followed by cps. Would you like to know when i lost my virginity, or who my first kiss was as well? If you feel like questioning me, be a man and send me a pm. I don't even know who you are, so why question me *edit* Pkk sent me a very nice PM explaining himself. please disregard my nastiness. - Jason

It works for most spey casts, and roll casts...with a double handed rod, it's forming a V loop, instead of a D (i find it odd that there is not one mention of this in any of the spey topics on this forum, for having such an advanced 'king'). Imagine your spey cast as a overhead cast, but instead of putting the line into the air, you're sweeping into a d-loop..same timing for your hauls. You haul down as you start your sweep of your rod tip to start the D loop, and bring your line hand back up to the handle as the d-loop is forming (the d will take this 'slack'). Your D is now formed, and procede with a normal 'turbo' spey....Its very hard to explain, and i probably explained it wrong..but it does work, trust me It takes a lot of work to figure it out, as the haul into your d loop adds line speed, so it will form more of a V then a D (it's compressed, and has a 'point', this has more speed and distance capable..but is certainly more on the advanced side of the scale)..you can also haul too much (or move the rod too aggressively) and turn that spey cast into a terrible overhead cast, as the anchor can not stick on the water.. practice your turbo spey, and have it down pat before bothering with this, otherwise you'll get frustrated. a v-loop

Sorry if you took that the wrong way, you never said you weren't overhead casting! Once you figure out your single haul on the spey cast, you can do a double haul on the spey cast, by hauling line as you go into your d-loop, and hauling again as you 'release' it... 50 feet for a beginner single hand spey caster is nothing to scoff at!

the keys, please!

everyone is so fascinated with distance.. a lot of guys that fish Fish Creek will know the retired Asian fellow that always fishes down there..i don't think i've ever seen him cast further then 30 feet (has anyone?) and he catch's more fish than anyone i've ever seen... A 6 weight and an extra 6 inch's will not turn a 50 foot caster into a 70 foot caster, with no change in casting skill or technique. Practice your casting and you'll be able to cast much further then 50 ft, double hauls are your friend, tighten your loops and let it fly... *edit* Go talk to CP's about casting lessons, or just chat about how to double haul. Mike talked me through a double haul before my first time tarpon fishing (and he's one of the best casters around)....now i can't cast my 1 weight without throwing in a double haul, as they're so useful

Do you even like this team, seems every response you make, no matter what they did, is that they're terrible and not knowing what they're doing.. do you forget that they're first in the NW, by a large margin? stop bitching already

very, very cool and unique..well done
