  1. A good friend of mine recently sold me a like new TFO Ti 8' 3 weight.. I need to get line for it and I was wondering if I should get WF3F or WF4F. I'll be using it for the small streams and mostly dries.. I know the standard would be the WF3F, but I've heard alot of people say it's easier to cast when you go one heavier. Thoughts?
  2. MTB.. about the Frog Hair - mono or Flouro?
  3. That's interesting. I wonder if they're more or less prized than the Rocky Mountain Whitefish?
  4. I guess this would be a good argument for 2 piece rods versus 4 piece then..
  5. Okay.. this makes me nervous.. because I don't know where the fish hatchery OR the inglewood bird sanctuary are. :S Maybe I should stick to more familiar waters..
  6. Any suggestions? I was thinking of maybe trying just below the weir.. saw a guy right on that first bend yesterday.. looked like good water.
  7. I can only see her going counter clockwise no matter how long I stare.
  8. Yeah.. I think Amazon is a bit goofy today.. there were some other books showing up like that too. LOL
  9. I think what you're saying is right.. Temple Fork > Sage.
  10. Wow! Jim's books are a little pricey to buy eh? http://www.amazon.ca/Blue-Ribbon-Bow-Canad...0359&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.ca/Blue-ribbon-Bow-fly-f...0359&sr=8-2
  11. Yeah.. they stock like a bizillion little 'bows in there every year! Haven't tried fly fishing it yet but CDock and I ice fished it last year and caught a few. But like Glenbow said.. mostly little guys. Although they do stock some big rainbows too each year.. they're in there.. but the lake is so huge your chances of hooking one are small IMO.
  12. I'll have a look around when I'm there..
  13. 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!
  14. 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?
  15. Bout time someone commented on the toque!! GoooOilers!
  16. 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."
  17. No.. as in "My wife would shoot me if I spent another $200 right now"..

  19. 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.
  20. We caught a bunch man!! You must be thinkin of a different MTB..
  21. Yep.. they're around. Few and far between.. but they're there.
  22. 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.
  23. How early in the morning do the gates open?
  24. CDock and I ice fish.. here are a few from an overnighter at Chain Lakes this past winter..
  25. 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?
