22" rainbow on the Bow eariler this year. CDock and I were fishing this little drop off after a riffle and I figured I'd try and wade in below and cast upstream to it. Started stripping in the line as the indicator was coming towards me.. it hesitated for a minute so I set the hook and ziiiinnnnnng!
Landed this gorgeous rainbow in a spot I never expected a fish that big to be in.. Check this out.. a Bow River rainbow with NICE COLORS:
Feel free to mock me all you want over this picture.. I don't think I've ever looked so goofy in my life and I giggle everytime I see it!
I wonder how much longer before we see the headlines "Man Dies Falling From Tower Crane While Doing Chin Ups".
That's just plain stupid IMO. Darwin Award candidate for sure..
Okay so I went and casted a bunch at Fish Tales this afternoon... ended up with a Scott A2. 7'6" 3 weight. Casts beautifully!!

And.. as always.. I can't say enough about the service at Fish Tales! Absolutely awesome.
I've gotten a few emails and PM's since my "rant".. some things brought to my attention that I was unaware of. I just may turn to the 'dark side' yet..
That being said.. any comments on the quality of Sage's cheapest rods.. the Launch?
Thanks for all the input guys! I managed to get some money from selling my skates yesterday, so I'll be getting SOMETHING this weekend. Just not sure what yet.
The other thing I need to get is a proper waterproof fishing jacket.
