  1. Nope, sounds like it was definitely visible from Calgary this morning (if you check the comments underneath the article - a group of 5 in Calgary watched it): http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2010/04...ry-landing.html I completely forgot about it though! I'm kinda miffed right now actually..
  2. Why? He said the guy was fly fishing. It has nothing to do with the method..
  3. Article I read this morning said they think they may have to use the backup landing site in southern California.. I'm thinking if that's the case, we won't get to see it at all. Here's hoping the weather in Florida gets better!
  4. Have you read Rick's nymphing primer on the main page yet? Here it is: http://flyfishcalgary.com/nymphing_primer.php Excellent info in there for getting started. Will take a bunch of time off the learning curve!
  5. We totally should get a "Caper" fishing get together one of these nights!
  6. Yep. Born and raised in Sydney Forks.

    Line Advice

    Sorry Dave.. I bumped a year old thread with my reply because I prefer re-using old threads versus starting new ones. I'm sure the OP has purchased his line and been using it for awhile now..

    Line Advice

    Picked this one up at Fish Tales yesterday: http://www.airflofishing.com/productdetail...ne/75/yes/48583 Can't wait to try it out!
  9. Thank you for making me home sick..
  10. Now there's a name I haven't heard in awhile!
  11. Hawks should come out of the West for sure.. BUT.. Montreal won the season series with Washington - 3-2. Should be an interesting first round for the Stanley Cup favorite!
  12. tsk tsk.. Putting it out there with no watermark is permission enough for me...
  13. 22" is my best so far.. for both Brown and Rainbow. Here's the Rainbow: Actually.. I've caught two 22" Rainbows on the Bow to date, here's the other one: (The one in my avatar is just swiped off the internet...)
  14. Did anyone else just see that lightening strike/hear the thunder in the SW? I think that's the first time in my life I've ever seen and heard lightening/thunder during a snowstorm. First time for everything!
  15. I'm just buggin.. I think they're normally ~$15/dozen, but right now are on sale for $7.88/dozen. I believe it's because they're switching suppliers. But like BBT said, can't go wrong with any of the site sponsers either! Lots of people are big fans of IckyFlyWorks, myself included.
  16. Right.. because the fish are totally sitting there going "hey fred, don't you dare eat THAT fly, it's less than $3 for sure!"
  17. What if they end up being tougher than you? Just curious..
  18. Check out Weedy's reply from back in the day, here: http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?...oon+suggestions
  19. Nice! Which river "down home" is that?
  20. Have you tried "Fair's Fair" on the corner of 17 Ave. and 14 St. SW?
  21. Yes, but how much under a grand? When we're talking ~1980 travel trailers, often times we're talking trailers that are only worth about a grand. Like ours for example.. it's a 1980 Triple E 16 footer.. only paid $1000 for it. No way in heck I'm dropping another $900 on solar panels. That'd be way too painful!
