I got a TFO professional seriest 7'6" 3wt 4pc for christmas, and I couldn't wait till june 16th to bust it in, so I took it for a spin on the bow and the first fish I got was a 21" football of a brown trout. I was sure on more than one occaison that my rod was gonna snap haha. But it didn't. It's a damn good rod for less than $200. great warranty, great rod, awesome action. with a dry fly on I can cast just about cast the entire length of the fly line. I don't have much experience with higher end rods, but between my sage launch and my TFO prof. I must say there is such a huge leap in quality and castability from the lower end rods I've owned/used of my friends. Unless you want to spend another 300 on top of the 200 a TFO would cost then you simply can't beat the quality/craftmanship of a TFO, they are simply good well priced rods.

my bro stuck it to future shop a couple weeks ago. My younger cousin wanted a 32" TV, so my brother printed off a receipt at "cost" for sony store and then canceled the order. The receipt was all my cousin needed to get the same tv at future shop for 10% below cost hahaha.

I make the best leaders. Just buy a spool of leader material 15lb test and 10lb test and then put 6ft of 15lb and 3ft of 10lb, then tippet. If you don't mind the extra knots and a few extra minutes to put leaders on. I like this way because if you find yourself needing to get really deep, you don't have to throw 5ft of tippet on, you can just lengthen with actual leader material. **edit. It's also a whole lot cheaper

awesome pics man, what a beautiful country we live in, you did a nice job capturing some of it.

hmm....I thought they used hot air to power turbines to keep this site running.

well said lol *edit, also, can you please return my bikini bottoms. thanks.

I did the same thing, last night i emptied my car after camping, I left my rod and reel on the roof. after an extra night under the stars, I actually managed to hear the rod slip off the roof of my car before i drove out of the parking lot and I was able to catch him before he got away lol

if you can, there is a place called oxypro or something along those lines in the glenmore industrial park. Just off barlow and 62nd i think (right near the staples, timmies, taco bell) anyways a block or 2 up 62 it's on the left hand side, before starpoint. They sell and rent everything welding. Might I inquire as to what you need it for, maybe I can lend some novice expertise.

Hit up mackinnon on saturday, there were grasshoppers everywhere, about a size 6 so they must have been out for a while already.

yah after a 15 minute walk through 12"of water and slush, my foreman called and said to pack her up just as we walked on site hahaha so weak. I told him we were already on site and would rather just work than be forced to do dishes at home, and he wasn't having it

noice fish mate.

I don't agree with any of this, I caught a 21" brown yesterday that was maybe 2 lbs. It was so skinny I could almost close my fingers around it with one hand. A friend of mine caught a lake rainbow last year (bonavista I think) it was 8lbs exactly and taped at 26.5" so I would say it's gotta be damn close to that. Course It coulda been a skinny 30" fish who knows.

sooo I had a 3' pike chase my 20" rainbow in the other day, if he bit my rainbow, would that count as bait fishing?

I had a couple capes that were really chemically smelling. If this is what you're refering to then it eventually goes away after your ol' lady complains enough.

mmm meh, it's ok I guess.....
