I suppose I just need to suck it up and get this for nymphing.. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_U...eryFresh/Nymph/

Nah.. that might not leave us enough to work with.. I'll edit the title..

Alright.. here's my real entry: Photo by CDock

Good idea BBT! Lets see them guys and gals! No shame here!

*edit* New thread started..

"Do you like apples?"

Yeah, the ice would be fine right now after this damn cold snap!! Reminds me of when I was younger.. used to invite friends over to skate on the lake behind my grandparents place. One time, a few of the parents asked "is the ice safe?" (this was like the middle of february) and I said "yes". "Are you sure?" "Well, my grandfather says it safe and well, he knows these things." "Well, we don't want to send our kids over unless you check it.." FINE! Run down to the lake and start hacking through.. finally get to the water. Stick my arm down just about to my armpit before I can wrap my fingers around the bottom of the ice.. Run back up and call the parents back.. "yeah, there's like 19 inches of ice.. that's enough to drive a tank on.. can your kids come over and skate now?"

I'm working on a streak of my own here boys.. 3 months and counting without going fishing at all! So ya'll shutup now ya heear?

BBT - That is a pretty sweet looking reel! headscan - Ha! Yeah.. it's a thought. We just signed a 1 year lease on our current place though.. so if we do move, it's a year away at the very minimum. I'm not liking the sound of the fishing in the area though.. based on some of those replies! We truly are spoiled rotten here!

Actually found this thread on Fly BC that mentions (buried in the thread a bit) that the 'grinding' issue has been addressed. http://www.flybc.ca/forum/index.php?showtopic=13405&hl=

Was going to make a similar comment Nick.. but then I thought maybe it's because i'm mostly in downtown Calgary. To me though.. the fact that Rogers is a GSM network makes them a no brainer. If you ever plan on using your device out of the country, then it's an easy choice to make.

Hey all, I've recently caught wind of this company from another FFC member. www.amundson.ca Contemplating trying out one of these reels on my new 6 weight, instead of getting another Trion (i'm a sucker for the "chrome and wood" look). So far, when asking other members for feedback, I've gotten one "yay" and one "nay". Anyone else have any experience with these reels (or if you'd like to comment on the rods - that's fine too) that they'd like to share? I see that Brian Niska carries them at Whistler Fly Fishing..

If you want good customer service, then Rogers is the way to go. We deal with all 3 major carriers on an almost daily basis at my work, and Rogers blows Telus and Bell away in the customer service department every time.

Another addition to the bucket list..

Step 4: Smile.

Got my wife to go out and take a picture of our hitch and send it to me.. I'm pretty sure I solved the mystery. I was focusing on the wrong part of the hitch. The damage was definitely from our hitch, and yes, this part of the hitch has rust on it so the transfer makes sense. The rust spots have been there since I bought it, and drive me insane! I periodically rub the stains away with an SOS pad. Works like a charm. I often have to remind myself that it's a 9 year old vehicle because i'm so picky! Arrow is pointing at the 'edge' that is the culprit. Rounded edges.. matches the pictures almost perfectly. Parking lot + no witnesses = 50/50 pretty much every time. Neither of them really admitted fault, although this lady did say to my wife that "I was distracted and not watching.." However, unless that was recorded on tape or something I don't think it would stand if it came down to it.

Sun.. Good advice, thank you. This is why I want to go see the vehicle myself and take some more pictures.. it's just not adding up for me at this point. In regards to asking neighbors.. I had not thought of that. Thanks! Hawgstoppah - same situation as yours. It's a good thing I love my wife so much! Another thing I have to double check when I get home is how far exactly the hitch sticks out. I didn't think of it until today, but depending on what the angle was that my wife was backing up.. there's a good possibility that the bumper hit, not the hitch (rear passenger side of our bumper hit the front passengers side of their bumper). I didn't think of looking on our bumper itself for any marks because I was so focused on the hitch. She told me she was on a bit of an angle, I'll have to ask her again.

Went to look at it myself today but the person wasn't there. Will try again tomorrow.

Hey! It's cousin Duncan!!

Yeah I see what you're saying. But there's no rust on the hitch.. and again no scuffs/scratches/paint transfer at all.

Yeah.. looks longer than 2 inches to me as well. I'm going to stop by with measuring tape in hand tomorrow and figure it out.

Andrew Cogliano just now .. "we know what we did wrong last night.. we just have to fix it." HA! yeah me too.. EVERYTHING!

Definitely agree that a hitch could do it. But the rest just doesn't add up to me. Looks like more than 5 days of rust to me as well. And what's your take on this big scratched section on the OPPOSITE side of the crack? Tomorrow i'm going to go do some measurements I think..

I've heard a few different people say that it's the cream for sure.. noone seems to know what exactly is in it though. Heroin perhaps?
