Tell u what. Buy the reel for 500 and i'll give you the rod for free.

If you log on from a different computer during the day, you'll have to re-logon when you go home. Its for security. This is a recent change. I'll notify the complaint department

Buy my SAGE FLI and my Islander reel. More over your price range but both are warrantied for life.

OMG thats funny.

SA reels are nice.

Rich these are fantastic shots thanks for sharing.

Don't get tioga, i have one and its a piece of junk.

Thats not your gear that stinks. Its driving your mom around.

Never. I don't leave any thing stealable in my truck, hell i dont even lock my doors half the time. However I do wish someone would break in and burn my truck down so i can get a new one. I hate leases.

So you're sayin you don't like molson canadian?

I pee'd on the machine. Came out rather fast.

Thanks for signing up. Hope you had fun up here. Its why i'll never move im a 5 minute walk to the bow.

Looks good just get better hackle, tie 12 more, give em to me, then.................j/k You might want to add lead wraps to the body if you havent. Makes your life easier.

U guys know u can upload pics on this forum right?

You can put me in at 9 years experience. Now ask how many years fly tying experience.

You start yet?

My suggestion is this. The elbow is not known as a great fishery. The bow is a wicked mistress to start on. Do yourself a favor and go fish a cutthroat stream to get your techniques down pat. I suggest reading orvis' guide to fly fishing. Great book and helped me start. I began fishing on the crowsnest river as it is much more forgiving. If you must start on the Bow I would highly recommend Hansons boot camp or signing up for Toolmans/Maxwell's clinic when they hold it. I would also suggest hiring a guide for a walk and wade to teach you some reading water techniques. Keep your confidence up as it helps as well. There a few tricks you need to learn that will make it all come together. Good luck. Dave

Welcome back Birchy.

No, I just got back from Vacation.

Very nice. It'll fish. Keep it up. I wish a lot more people on this board would get into tying. Perhaps sooner or later they will come to the dark side.

During winter time Fish Tales and Country Pleasures do free seminars every sunday I believe. Also every second or third tuesday Sean Darby hosts Fly Tie Tuesdays at the rose and crown and gives free lessons. Other wise you can hire someone from fish tales for private lessons. I'd teach you but im too expensive.

I have a coupla months or so.

Good luck Birchy. You'll be showin me how to fly fish real soon im sure.

SET THE HOOK HARD. If you ever had the chance to see my hook set you'd laugh. That and you'll find its still barely hooked.

No but u can fry em up streamside.
