    Watching "team Toolman" On Fishing With Dodger..

    Oh...just to clarify...This competition won't have much to do with how many trout you catch, but more focused on skills,

    with Judges scoring points, including Casting (ie, distance, accuracy, single spey, double spey, overhead, double haul, reach casts, casting sink tips etc).... Line Control, (stack mends, slack mends, etc.)... also different flyfishing techniques, ie. Nymphing methods (Long line/indicator, High Stick, Upstream nymphing), Swing presentations (wet/dry, sink tips), Streamer methods/presentations, sink tips, presenting Dry flys, ect. ect. etc.

    I'll work on writing something up and getting a couple of judges.

    Better get practising boys....tight loops!

     

    Ah crap...

     

    Ummm... yeh.. uhh.. I think I might be sick that day... *cough*

    Sounds like you are going to start a popularity war in which you choose people by their number of posts and not their fishing ability?

     

    lol.. burnnn is right!

     

    I'd be comfortable putting my fishing ability to the test against any other 1st year fly angler.

     

    Can't speak for rickr or chidders.. but i'm thinking they feel the same way.

     

    So it's:

    Gordie Howe elbowed me in the chin when I was a kid. Nuff said. ;)

     

    All mine are hockey players.. met most of the 1987 Team Canada in person.. Gretzky, Mess, Anderson, Coffey, Yzerman.. didn't meet Lemieux.

     

    Also met Bobby Hull and Paul Henderson..

     

    More recently.. chatted with Martin Gelinas in a Tim Hortons.. Dean McAmmond in the Dome parking lot. Theo Fleury in Walmart.. what a mess that guy is!

    Mac and OSX leopard is the most stable and best system out there. Browse, play, view, and page through your files without opening them. See how your system looked on a given day and restore files with a click. You can even run windows if you want to (I don't want to).

     

    I love it and am using it at work on a 24" iMac. I'm running the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Premium and it is fast and brilliant. Doesn't crash and no virises as yet.

     

    It's not without it's problems either.

    Um, the video wasnt made by "toolman"... incase your confused here. A few of us that know toolman kinda ribbed him, and that's not where this thread was intended to go. Apologies. Back on topic.

     

    I thought that at first too.. but I think he was just calling the guy in the video "a tool", not referring to toolman.

    But as soon as I am... I'm outta here!!

     

    P.S. - I'm going to hook up a strap to the back of the Runner and take the Bow River with me.. hope you guys don't mind.

    Birchy's Joke Of The Week

    A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking, the monkey starts jumping all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them,then jumps up on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole.

     

    The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?" The guy says, "No, what?" "He just ate the cue ball off my pool table - whole!" says the bartender. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He eats everything in sight, the little twerp. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff." He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves. Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again.

     

    While the man is drinking, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it. The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" "Now what?" asks the patron. "Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his butt, then pulled it out and ate it!" says the barkeeper.

     

    "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that damn cue ball he measures everything first!"
