A Hatch reel on a 3wt is aken to 4 wheel disc brakes on a unicycle. Great reels, overkill on a trout set up.

Problem is the union. When you become a teacher you know that you will be a member of a union going into it, and they cater to the lowest common denominator, hence the pay schedule. Sadly when I think back to my school years I have only 2 teachers that really made a difference in my life. I agree that some teachers should make more. I also have memories of some teachers that were more suited to minimum wage, or a different career path at the least. Looking back I dismiss this to the union environment they worked within.

And your point is? The young guys that head up north work their asses off, no free lunch working in the field. Funny you don't mention the christmas holidays, summers off, and nice pension that the High School teacher with the Masters degree gets with your comparison. Oh and the publicly funded education that said High school teacher used to get his Masters Degree. Simple supply demand equation at work for how much oil and gass field staff recieve as renumeration.

Well said! Also, you bet there is a measureable mortality rate from tagging and collaring bears, something the scientific community studying bears does not like to talk about. Especially when there is DNA collection methods that have 0% mortality and are more accurate to establish baseline population data. Wonder why they discount these methods? Feelings getting in the way of solid factual data?

Do any of the gift shops in the park sell grizzly fur slippers?, what a waste if they don`t. They could use the fur from the bears that the trains run over eating spilled grain along the tracks in the park. Not to mention the bear road kill in the park. I guess the road bear harvest in the park is justifiable as without it all the hotels, gift shops and restaurants would go broke without it.

You are a hypocrite. The same groups that want to stop bear hunting want to stop all hunting and fishing is not far behind. The cuddly bears just gets the emotional swing votes for these groups.. Anglers should be very cautious with what they wish for and who they side with. Would it be OK to live trap and tranquilize a bear, screw with him for a bit, hold his head under the water for a minute or two as you pose for a few hero shots then hope he recovers from his anesthesia and water dunking then send him on his way? Your opinion proves that people choose to live by their own justifiable double standard because of their emotional response, not facts. I also would never want to kill a Grizzly, but if the data is there to support a limited hunt who am I to say it is wrong just because of my feelings? I kill fish and also let èm go, eat meat, wear leather, drive a car, etc, etc, etc.. I feel this is all OK, again feelings. Fact would prove otherwise.

It's only 100% AEROSPACE BAR STOCK ALUMINUM for my 5 wt reels!

Save the Sea Kittens.

This; Obama Considering Fishing Ban? Is almost as believable as this

Your problem is you have been waiting for them to ask a question. They rarely ask questions however always on the spot with the answer. Who said you are in the clique? Talk about an assumption..

Our government relies on guys like you to just `roll over`when they introduce bogus laws like the boating license. I bet you figure all new laws must be good, right? Last time I checked driving a jet ski or house boat drunk in the Shuswap was illegal, even before the boaters license. Gotta love the governent to impose new, redundant, overlapping rules when enforcement of existing laws has always been the problem. If you think that the boaters license will even reduce the problem of drunkard boaters at the busy lakes then I guess you will deem it as a success. Keep your head firmly planted in the sand, as the Government will do what is in your best interest!

Who needs spell checker when we've got you pro's as proof readers.

I question the 1% more part.. Other than that; spot on!

It should be obvious by now that I cannot take it, only dish it. Thought that went without explanation..

Glad to see someone has a sense of humor, kinda.

Why, because I am going to snub the law and take my toon out with an electric motor? Call the cops! Don't you see the hypocrisy in that I can rent a house boat without a license? Would that be ethical in your book.. Friggen hilarious Uberfly! Oh ya- My youngest grandaughter has an inflatable jet ski (toy) with a battery and a propeller. I guess she needs the licence now too according to this flawed law! Where is that on your ethics scale, P?

I was hoping one of you clones would do my heavy lifting.. I did google it and it looks like I need it, pure BS. Well I am not going to get it, I would assume that whoever checks these things would have to; 1- Catch me with the boat actually running- Electric and silent so unlikely. 2- What are the odds of getting caught, who checks this anyhow, the feds? When I googled it I found out I can rent a boat and I do not need a license. This makes perfect sense.. I can rent a house boat, but I need a license with my pontoon powered by an electric motor. I think I will have my wife rent her pontoon to me..

Do I need a licence for my pontoon with an electric Motor?

Sorry to hear about your loss..

First time I saw the google link I posted it cracked me up.. I woulda thunk that all the Google, cut and paste that happens by a certain member in the ongoing climate change one person posting thread that googling topics would be old hat... There is a certain little cliquey group of you guys in here. Some of which take yourselves way too seriously. Speaking of smarmy.. Start a petition and get me banned so the 6 of you can have it all to yourselves..

Let me google that for you

Read the "ask the Pro's" area for a great read and to put it all in perspective. "Once the bugs are on the water and the fish start rising, I will put away my nymphs until fall."

That same list applies to internet fly fishing forums.

Where is rickr, out getting his gold tooth bronzed?
