A blonde walked into a store to buy curtains. She went up to the salesman and said, "I want those pink curtains to fit my computer screen. The salesman mentioned, "Computers don't need curtains." The blonde said, "Hellooo. I have windows!"

What about Pledge? Would it be too harsh? For the "lustre" I mean.. after you're done cleaning.

Nice meeting you Jack! Didn't get to talk long, but I wanted to make sure to have a chat with yourself and Tim. Always good to put faces to names.

That sucks Steve!! Was there a lost & found booth there at all? Did you check with the girls behind the front desk?

Got to stay around a bit longer this year.. just when I thought the little guy had enough, I turned around and he was sleeping! Sweet. Nice to see a bunch of you guys again. And even nicer to meet a few of you for the first time! Did anyone see that little pontoon from Buck's Bags? Pretty sweet little rig: http://www.bucksbags.com/cm_item.asp?id=561 I haven't seen one that small before that had twin bladders in each pontoon. Maybe I just haven't looked around enough..

Rick.. is that the Columbia near Castlegar at 3:23?

Had this emailed to me today.. pretty freaky! (Takes awhile to load - but well worth the wait..) http://en.tackfilm.se/?id=1263966564630RA95

Pretty big :

I've had a lot of trouble with the front portion of SA lines sinking under when I'm nymphing. However I think I've finally figured out that it has to do with the taper. Most guys I've talked to that use SA lines and DON'T have this problem are using the GPX taper, versus the trout taper. A few guys also recommended that I get a good pike line for nymphing.

Yep!! Have that happen with Noah I think... 4 times now? It's a sonofagun to get off!!

Sounds like a plan to me!

Just called him up to thank him and he said it's a Batson Rainshadow RX7 blank.

Interesting - I don't recall reading that before. I just checked and they still own Solo as well. Just when we think we're finally "getting another option".. you realize it's owned by one of the big 3! *sigh*

I thought Virgin mobile is that Branson dude's company. Solo is owned by Bell. Is that who you meant?

They better, because Telus and Bell just turned the tables on them big time!

I am unsure of what blank it is. I'll find out next time we talk I'm sure. Last night I thought it was dark green, taking pictures today I realized it's a dark blue. Bigtoad - Awesome! I LOL'd.

That's really cool Ayr! Thanks for sharing. I haven't been hit with the "salt water bug" yet.. but I'm sure it's inevitable as it seems to be a natural progression for each fly angler

When I was working at my last job, we dealt with Telus, Bell, and Rogers on an almost daily basis for cell phones and Blackberries for our users. It was our experience that Rogers customer service blew Telus and Bell out of the water 95% of the time! Because of that, I've been using Rogers regularly for the last few years and have no plans of changing. Very sorry to hear this story, but it doesn't surprise me at all.

So I had been already fly fishing for a couple years when I found out that my uncle's brother is actually an avid fly angler. Ties his own flies, and even builds his own rods. Well the last couple seasons we've been threatening to get out together, but seeing as he lives in Lacombe, we just haven't had a chance to make it happen yet. This past summer, we were talking amongst a crowd, and as he was walking away he turned back and said "oh, and by the way, you have a gift coming your way!" .. or at least that's what I thought I heard. Fast forward 7 months and this past week my uncle said to me, "hey Ryan, Bro is coming down to visit this weekend. He says he's bringing something for you..". Cool! Seeing as I'm getting forgetful at the ripe old age of 28 though - I had kind of forgot about it already! So yesterday while we were out and about, he showed up for a visit. Upon arriving home last night I found waiting for me probably the coolest gift I've ever been given!!... Rod, Reel (spooled with backing/line/leader), and an assortment of flies: I'm digging the grip! That groove fits my pinky finger perfectly. My first inital and last name.. he had trouble with one letter but I ain't complainin!! My cousin also fly fishes, and he had showed me a rod that uncle's bro had built for him a few years ago. So I kind of had a feeling that's what it would be. But I was NOT expecting this!! Needless to say, I'm absolutely blown away! So excited! And everything else in between. I believe uncle's brother has a Bow River float in store for him this summer as a big thank you!! Wow.
