Hey! .. Do it!!

touche' LOL

Yeah, you just point at something really pretty and press the little button on the top.

Welcome to the boards man! You'll enjoy it here. Lot's of valuable information shared between lots of very experience anglers!

LOL!! Avert the danger by scaring the bear away but give yourself a heart attack in the process!!

Haven't heard the rumor about Cabelas, but I understand there's a Bass Pro Shop opening in NW Calgary.

I'm still quite shocked that I read that actually!

How much are we talking?

Yes. The general consensus for pike on the fly is like pacreseltoro said - 8 weight MINIMUM. I think 10 or higher is recommended.

I've heard this as well rickr. Curious to hear what people have to say. I think the best suggestion I've ever heard is to give your hands a good scrub in the water you'll be fishing. If the water can have a scent to the fish, might as well have that scent on your hands.

Amazing pictures man! Thanks for sharing!

Boy, that sounds.. somewhat sarcastic!

Can't afford a waterproof camera at this point so i'm looking for a cheaper alternative.

Yeh, but I'm not fishing in Maui so I don't think I need those..

Awesome! I'm hoping to get some video this summer instead of just pics all the time.

Anybody use some kind of waterproof containers for their digital cameras? Last time out I had my wifes camera in my vest pocket and while reaching down to try and unsnag myself in thigh deep water I managed to soak the front of my vest including her camera!! Fortunately it's still working. Thinking about getting one of these: Has anybody tried one? Know if they work well? I find using a zip lock bag a bit too tedious myself..

Top right hand side - "View New Posts".

Good to know. I was reading about this stuff in a recent magazine and was contemplating buying a spool.

Or you can still post pics with tags like before. Something like this:

I think he means war vets.. I know you're old.. but you're not that old!

Yeh I figured I'd help get the ball rolling. Being an IT guy I'm sitting on the stupid computer all day so if anyone's going to do it.. might as well be me!

So I was able to pick up a pair of polarized sunglasses this past weekend at Wholesale Sports for $60. They're made by "Optic Nerve" and seem to work (turning my head at a certain angle makes my LCD screen disappear). I haven't had a chance to try them out on the river yet but I'll let you guys know how it goes as soon as I do. They're actually "Carbon Polarized" sunglasses. I'm not sure what the difference is so hopefully they do the same thing!

Looks great to me guys!!! Good work!
