lol except when you set the hook on a 4 incher while picking the line up off the water, then they fly.

Personally I like to cook my big batches of meth in the rural areas.

I'll probably just avoid the whole issue. I like to take my trips this time of year to avoid the people. Camp grounds are generally empty, I can cook breakfast in my gonch with out offending anyone. Most mornings I come with in 5 feet of deer grazing at my camp. There's also very few times when I get to where I decide to start fishing that I cross paths with anyone the rest of the day.

Beauty of a spot

ya saw that post but It's just a logical supposition based on how the title transfer should have worked but not an absolute. It's not that big of deal I guess. If I end up in the area I'll see what happens theres lots of river.

Was it ever cleared up whether or not the Saras had bed rights? I know there was another post that got WAY out of hand on the subject. Just wondering as I'll be down in the area for 3 weeks if someone had found out with absolute certainty before the thread was deleted?

With a statement such as that dude...and the name Orvisonly I would call you the elitist... I'm pretty sure that post was meant as humor. This comment should give you a clue that orvisonly's post was meant as a joke if you read the entire thread. I maybe mistaken but I sure thought it was funny. Also if you look at his posting history he makes a lot of funny posts on threads like these. It's almost like it's a regular posters alter ego.

I'm not sure why but the "sheep" picture reminds me of a paint by numbers canvas. It's kinda like you went into the digital zoom range but I didn't think the finepix f100 had digital zoom. Its a cool effect. Did you crop and enlarge the original picture?

camel spider ?

I really don't know what there is to making a furled leader but I booked marked a couple of sites on the subject a while back this is one of them http://hatchesmagazine.com/page/may2006/185 I just glazed it over but it seemed to me at least with the initial setup and time to make it plus now know how often(barring something stupid)it would need to be replaced the time i would invest in making one is worth more than the 20 bucks it cost me. It could also be that I'm just lazy.

There isn't much difference between the 11' and 12' except that little bit of extra reach. the 11' model they sell was my first purchase and if I had my choice now I would have went with a 12' just for that little extra reach on some wider corners. I've hit cataract with mine and a few other small creeks in that area and the only time I got snags was either drifting into vegitation as the water was high or missing a hook set. Also I'm pretty sure the rods from tenkarausa are manufactured in china.

You may end up regreting not picking up the line unless you have access to a good quality 10' furled leader or are able to make them yourself. That being said I've never bothered with level line or tying my own leader so it could be I don't know what I'm missing. Gratz on the new rod

Biohazard is bad wording, toxic would be more along the right lines I a nut shell no. It's generally reinjected to a zone below the the water table so it's segregated.

I was wondering how long it would take for a rant to shhow up here about this. The outfiters that set up shop in the spring 3 k from where I work kill more bears than this every year. Black bears are a dime a doz up here. LOL they should have set up a tree stand at the dump it would have saved them quadding in thier grease and scraps.

I got my rods and line from the site I linked above. So the prices were as listed plus about 20$ shipping and the usd to cad conversion and 10$ duty(can't remember the number exactly.) I bought 2 of the furled lines just to have one as a back up with the first rod but 1 should last you a long time a couple of seasons unless you do something stupid with it. Plus you can cast level line with it so you could also carry around some 14# floro as back up. I have yet to test this but some people use level line exclusively. Sorry got side tracked...the line rod and s&h were the short side of 200$.

I have an 11' light 5:5 rod been using mostly for grayling but finaly got it down to some trout waters. The water was a little high and fast but i manged to hook up with 8-9 fish in the 8-10" range. A 10" trout on this particular rod was a lot of fun better than a 14-15" grayling for sure. The big plus for me is that the rod pacs down to 20" and wieghts 2.6oz. it also took me all of about 5-10 min to teach my daughter to cast and drift a dry on our grayling waters. Also it's a little more than glorified high sticking although thats an option with and 11-13' rod. My casting experience with the rods is restricted to 10.5' furled leaders with about 4-5' of tippet and the roll out nice. http://tenkarausa.com/ have a few videos on thier site and more info. Really for the price of a rod and line you can't go wrong.
