SanJuanWorm

Wait, what?

Just to to cafepress.com and order em up.

Run off has been happening for 1000's of years. The fish survive just fine.

I'm a huge fan of TFO. It's all I have other than 1 orvis dry fly slinger. There's no need to go anywhere else as I've had exceptional service from both Fish Tales and Springbrook when they spontaneously break. Sorry to hear about your dealings with the other company. Maybe they'll respond if you keep on them?

Thanks Dutchie. That's mine for sure.\ I'll PM you my phone #. How much to rent your drift boat by the way?

Walleye 4, pike 0 Was more of a scouting mission. Spring walleye are tough. I was surprised at the lack of pike though. I casted heavily on a weed bed and had no followers. Probably wrong end of the lake? Its quite cool down there though.

I'd say from 5 feet to as far as you can cast and still set the hook.

Nobody on the other forum likes Neil Waugh either. Just what I gather. I'm impartial. Don't care. Back to the topic there is a way by a gravel pit I think. Just google earth it. You can get an idea of how close you can get.

Sorry I just don't know.

Let me know how the fishing goes boys.

Yes that was written a long time ago. In my bag is big spools of 20lb, 8lb, 6lb and 4lb. I make my own tapered leaders.

I usually almost always fish a san juan worm. That in itself is enough weight. If you fish 2 smaller flies then run enough weight to bounce off the bottom. If you aren't snaggin bottom then you aren't deep enough.

Anyone happen to pick one up? It has marker on it with how much it measures up to 28" or so. Around the pedestrian bridge. Must fell out of my backpack when I was riding my bike home.

I usually run them right in the middle. between bottom fly and top fly. I haven't fly fished in a long time and yesterday I went out. Tossed my flies in and BOOM fish on, first cast. Subsequently snapped me off as I was too lazy to re-rig my gear. Make sure after a few fish you re-tie on your flies.

Wow that was a long time ago. I actually wrote something that was helpful. Those were the days before I had kids and had loads of time. Welcome to the forum. Nymphing for dummies. 1. Get a 9ft 1X leader. Put a strike indicator on the top where your leader attaches to your fly line. Tie one one San Juan Worm on the end. To the shank of the hook tie on another nymph about 12 to 18 inches with 1X tippet. I usually start with an evil weevil or prince. (lately GOLDENSTONES) ((Note from Rick: I prefer 2 and 3X, but 1X will work as well. You will find there are lots of different opinions on this.) 2. Cast upstream at a 45 degree angle and mend your line according to the current. (Key is to make it float along as if it were not attached to a line NO DRAG). Let it swing all the way down past you until it is straight beside you. Give it 2 strips of fly line about 3 inch grabs before lifting it for your next cast. (You'd be surprised how many strikes happen here, I miss plenty) 3. Make sure your bouncing along bottom (this is key). I like to add split shot (the ones that are not removable and small). Set your hook when you see suspicious activity on your strike indicator (EVERY TIME i'm terrible but getting better at this) 4. Make your own grid system for casting. Cast one spot 3 to 5 times. If nothing, cast a bit further until you are sure there are no fish here. If nothing, move downstream or upstream about 10 feet and try the same thing again. (I like to vary my depths as well by wading deeper and deeper each time). This should catch you at least 1 fish and help you on your way to nymphing the Bow River or any large river. I am certainly no expert but this is the way I learned how to catch fish on the bigger rivers.

I dream of getting to zombiefish level.

On the Kakwa one day when I smoked, I tied a cigarette butt around a hook just to see. Sure enough I caught 3 little grayling. Basically they'll hit anything.

Any bead heads. I find for dries the Royal Coachman works Very Very well. Irresistible adams.

YOu should just give it to me.

You MUST pull the carbs and give them a proper cleaning.

You mean fire sale?

Just heard on the news. Damnit i was just about to buy some camping chairs.

This means I win?
