Thanks I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the response Justin as well, they are good for pointing things out in the sky instead of waving and pointing trying to show people constellations or satellites etc... You can see the beam of light and track it easily through the sky so people can see what you are trying to explain or point out.

I am looking to get my Dad a green laser pointer for star gazing for Christmas and am wondering if anyone knows a place in town that sells them? There are tons of places online that sell them but I would rather get one in town... I looked the Mountain Coop Website but they don't seem to carry them... any insight would be appreciated!! Thanks!

Anybody use Ross Reels? Found a good deal on a CLA #4 heres the specs on it. Pretty sure I want this one lol Weight = 7.3 oz (pflueger 2090 was 6.6 oz mult is 9.17 oz) Diameter = 3.75" (multi is 3.85" pflueger 2090 is 4.25") Lifetime warranty Rated for 7-9 wt Capacity WF8+200 Its new and cheaper than the Pflueger...

Thanks for the advice. The multi's are a pretty sweet reel, when I eventually go buy a reel I am going to take in my rod to see how it looks in proportion to the rod. That is definitely one drawback to the internet lol Do the multi's make a clicking sound when you strip the line out? I love that sound and if no click then no reel lol Along that line, do the Presidents make a click sound?

wow thanks for all the replies!! Really appreciate the help, i'll keep my eyes peeled for a deal and see what I can find

oo i wish the Multi, that would be awesome Have you used the Evotec CLW reel? not the clear one though that thing looks weird... Tungsten did you just tape that lead on there at the back? I should probably just be concerned with getting a good quality reel and then adjusting it as needed once it is lined up rather than buying a reel based on weight... Anyone use Okuma reels at all? Found this one and I think it would be a sweet match for the Blueline rod, based purely on looks though lol http://www.okumafishing.com/dyn_family.php?k=284112

hmm if it is to light to balance a 10 6wt then i doubt it will balance an 11'2 7wt... is that one the 2056 model? (Opposed to 2078) Also what is the warranty like on Pflueger? I looked on their website and there isn't any info on it... thanks for the info!!

Anyone had any experience with the Pflueger President?

oops sorry! it is a Loop Blueline 7112. 7wt 11'2" i guess that is kinda important lol

I am in the market for a new reel for my 7wt Switch rod and have been looking around at a lot online at a lot of different companies. I am pretty sure that it should be a large arbour reel right? Right now I only have a 7wt mayfly reel on it and i really don't think it is big enough or heavy enough to balance out the rod. I am looking to spend around $200 on a reel... Any suggestions? Thanks guys!!

does that include the sinking poly leaders?? Like the 5 or 10ft Airflo Trout Intermediate or Fast Sinking poly? Will that make any difference or should the weight of the fly be enough?

Copyright infringement is my favourite pastime!! lol Still looks pretty fun I think haha

This is my first cutthroat that I have ever caught and it was a pretty exciting fish. I went camping with a buddy and we pulled in just as it was getting dark and we decided to quickly rig up and fish a small stretch of stream that was by our campsite. I fished this small little run along a bank with a green humpy pattern I had tied up a few nights prior. I could barely see the hook and after about 5 minutes of casting I saw a tiny slurp around where I thought my fly was so I pulled and he was hooked. I gave a holler "Fish On Booya!" just joking thinking it was a tiny fish until I pulled on the line a little harder and the line barely moved! He put up a pretty good fight and once I landed him I could see he by the shape of his jaw that he had been caught many times. I released him back for another angler to catch. I thought the colour of the fish was really bright so once I got home I black and whited everything except the fish, definitely makes the colour pop even more.

looks like a boat with a wake behind it... that would be sweet though if it was haha

sweet pics!! the teeth on that flying ant pic are gnarly!!

thanks for the responses. Based on these comments i won't be belly boating it as i don't know the river that well and don't want to flip or hit a rock. may as well just walk and wade my way along the river until i can afford a boat lol soo maybe 10 years lol

I'll second that about the cell coverage. I was in BC stuck in traffic from an accident around revelstoke and my phone worked while nobody else with other providers worked.

Just wondering if anyone has ever floated the bow in a belly boat with flippers on? Obviously most people using drift boats of some sort but do you think it would work with a belly boat/waders and flippers on? Would it be dangerous to do this?

when i moved in to my apartment a year ago they had a deal that telus tv and internet was only going to cost 20 bucks a month then normal cost for phone. i thought hey thats a pretty sweet deal and got it. i am guessing this is the same deal you are seeing. i am a previous shaw customer as well. well the bottom line is that i am moving to a new place this week and am switching back to shaw lol the modem telus gave me cut out all the time as soon as you started downloading anything or even just watching a youtube video. this sucks because your TV is hooked up to your internet and as soon as the modem dies so does your TV. so the first while until telus brought a guy in to fix it, i either had to choose tv or internet which sucked. they came and gave me a new modem and it still happens occasionally but not nearly as often as before. have lived with it for a year and have got around it by downloading big files overnight when i am not watching TV. The tv quality is fine but the tv box they gave me freezes up on the menu occasionally (1-2 times a month) and have to reboot the whole unit which takes about 8 minutes. which sucks for me when it happens during greys anatomy and i am about to be murdered by my girlfriend for those 8 minutes lol we added on a bundle for $8 a month and get animal planet, discovery, national geo and 1 or 2 more which is pretty cool. No TSN or sportsnet though you have to get them in special packages!! which means no flames games during playoffs or lots of other hockey during regular season. another big thing for me was that you only get 1 TV box and have to rent another for like 5 bucks a month i think to have TV in any other room. it is not like shaw how you just plug the coax into the wall and tada! this isn't HDTV either just normal cable needs to go through that stupid box and i didn't want to pay for another one so i can't watch tv in the other room. it is nice for me because i am switching to shaw and getting the student bundle which is as cheap as telus but with shaw quality. i would call shaw and be like telus is offering this deal and i really don't want to go through them so can you guys match the price or something along those lines. hope that helps

I was checkin out the speypages site and someone posted asking if a Helicopter Spey Cast was useful, needless to say I was intrigued and watched some youtube vids of Eoin Fairgrieve doing it. holy crap that guy can cast!! So i took out my Blueline 7112 switch today and was messin around with some casting practice. It is definitely fun messing around but you get a whole new appreciation of how good Fairgrieve is. after practicing for about an hour i went to a nice run and was skating a foam thingy kinda clubsandwich but not with a caddis emerger underneath. 3rd or 4th cast a nice brown smoked the setup. it was funny cause he came halfway out of the water as if trying to swamp the foam fly but then when he got in closer i could see he was hooked on the dropper emerger. he came off before i got him all the way in so i couldnt see if he foul hooked. here is the link to that video by the way. and the consensus on speypages that the cast was cool to look at but pretty much useless lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNoMcWGoY8g

yeah i figured i was going to have to pay anyways but i thought i would see if i could get out of it lol I made sure nobody was coming when i turned!!

I am sure someone has run into this problem before and maybe can give me some advice. So i got a ticket today doing an illegal u-turn at some lights when I had an advance. I got pulled over and given a ticket for $115 Anyways the cop wrote my middle name as my last name so does this make the ticket void? I searched the net and there seems to be a lot of opinions about it but most people had said that if the drivers license number and plate number are written correctly then you are stuck. But on my ticket it doesn't say anywhere, or have space for, a drivers license number or plate number. I also know that my ticket is the carbon copy so maybe he wrote the info down on the cops version of the ticket...? Anyone had an experiences with tickets being written incorrectly or getting voided? Someone on here must be a cop lol

I graduated from LCC 2 years ago with a diploma in Multimedia and it is a pretty good school. Small classes and pretty good profs in my area. There were tons of those criminal justice guys going there so it must be specialized in that field. Most of them were meatheads that would have ended up as rent-a-cops lol Hope it goes well for you!!

I think I was just downstream of you when you caught that one... was that around noonish? I was the guy spey casting with the backpack
