We live in Calgary so Tofino would be great to go to some day! We are looking for nice sand and not to fridged water. The Shuswap is an idea, I'll take a look into that area. Also look into the National park, thanks for the sudgetstions.

I'm looking for some campgrounds that have sights that are right on or very close to a beach front. I have a 32' travel trailer and a young family that loves the water. I have been online looking but have not found to much that has pictures or very good websites. If any of you guys are able to recommend some of your favorite spots my family and I would appreciate it. Distance is not to big of an issue. Thanks!

Thank you very much for your reply! You explained it very well and I will definitely be giving the dry fly a try tomorrow during my float if I see the fish rising. Much appreciated. Uglystick

I have been fly fishing for three years now and can count on one hand how many times I have tried using dry flies. I learned how to nymph and have become very confident in it and have never put much thought into the dries because of how well the nymphing is going. Any way I have the dry flies in the box and I want to start using them, any starter pointers would help give me the push I need to stray away from nymphing. I guess I nymph a lot because I do almost all my fishing from my toon or a drift boat. Is it better to dry fly from a boat or from waiding? Pointers are appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for the help guys! Took a few of my new flys to the river this morning and hooked into a nice 18" rainbow, so I am pretty happy with the leach. Thanks

Thanks, I was wondering about that, but I am not sure if I should cut it or choose a different style Hackle.

I just tied my first leach and am looking for some guidance, I don't think there is anything wrong with it but for those of you that have been tying longer than a week (like me) I sure would like the input. Thanks!

Thanks guys! Tungsten, I like your wording of how to do it. That I can understand.

I have a couple streamers I would love to try but I have no idea when to pull them out and give them a try. I float a lot and the 99.9% of the time I am nymphing. I am just looking for what kind of water I should hit with them? Do I cast into the fast and strip it into the slow? do I hit the bank? but if I am walking do I cast out and strip it into the bank. If you have any input or have the time to type a couple answers for me that would be great! Thanks! Still trying to catch my first on the dry fly too! but that is for another day! Lol!

I am looking to buy a good condition vise that is not being used any more or looking for some advise of buying one. So if you have one that you would like to sell please let me know! Thanks!

He just sat there so I took as many as I could!

Your buddy ows you beer!!!!!! I bet he feels bad about it! ( I do )
