I'll have a look around when I'm there..

Thanks boyz! Did a few searches on the Calgary Public Library's website and they have pretty much all the books you've mentioned! That'll keep me busy for sure!

Heading out to Castlegar on Wednesday to visit the wifes family and introduce Noah to them.. planning on doing alot of fishing whilst the girls are going goo goo over the baby. ALSO planning on reading some more fly fishing books. Books I've already read: The Freshwater Angler Series.. (the 4 or 5 different books on nymphing, dries, reading the streams, etc.) The Essential Guide to Fly Fishing by Clive Schaupmeyer (shameless plug) Orvis Fly Fishing Guide (I'm going to grab the "Ultimate" Guide for sure) The Wit and Wisdom of Fishing Any suggestions?

Bout time someone commented on the toque!! GoooOilers!

An adorable little girl walked into ny pet shop and asked, "Excuse me, do you have any rabbits here?" "I do," I answered, and leaning down to her eye level I asked, "Did you want a white rabbit or would you rather have a soft, fuzzy black rabbit?" She shrugged. "I don't think my python really cares."

No.. as in "My wife would shoot me if I spent another $200 right now"..

I may have been exagerrating a little bit.. haha. I only landed one.. and lost another one. MTB was hooking fish on pretty much every single cast.. it was crazy. But they were taking little tiny baetis nymphs and he couldn't get good hooksets with the size 22 imitations.

We caught a bunch man!! You must be thinkin of a different MTB..

Just found it.. 8am. http://tprc.alberta.ca/parks/fishcreek/servfac.asp Yeah I was thinking about it. I'm off work for 3 weeks on pat leave.

How early in the morning do the gates open?

CDock and I ice fish.. here are a few from an overnighter at Chain Lakes this past winter..

My Bow River rod is a 6 weight.. when I replace it next year with a TiCr X I was going to get another 6 weight, but after watching CDock land a 22" bully with a 2 weight yesterday I think my new Bow River rod will be a 5 weight. What about you guys?

Took a look at the Pflueger Trion today at Russell's. Agreed. Very sweet reel!

Funny. I just checked the "Care instructions" on the tab of my neoprenes and it says they're okay to wash in cold water. What a novel idea... checking the care instructions..

The only thing I know for sure is that it'll be a large arbor.

I have no clue really.. I've been wiffle waffling for so long now. Originally I was liking the Greys GRXi with the fifty seven extra spools! Then I was liking the Orvis Mach IV.. then the Battenkill once you mentioned it.. now I'm liking the Pflueger President that the guys mentioned above.. I have no clue man. I'll probably wait until next spring now..

LOL! Now THERE'S a great line!

Did you spend the extra $15 to get your name engraved?

That Pflueger President is pretty sweet looking! I'm really liking the silver reels..

Psssft! Whatta YOU know Brian.. you were just a guide!

Everyone keeps sayin: "NOW is the time to buy on EBay".

Just did a search on Orvis' website and found out that Monod Sports in Banff carries Orvis stuff. Called them up and they have the exact ones i'm looking at in stock. Guess I'll have to take a drive out there and get fitted!

Any shops in Calgary that carry Orvis waders other than Country Pleasures?? They don't have any bootfoots..

Wonderful. I have a little Karcher pressure washer at home.
