  1. Does fishing around the world with a Click of your mouse count as saving on Energy ? I found a New site just came on line today www.flyfishmap.com worth checking out for sure !
  2. OK ! I'm a LEFTY what do I Know ! my above post was meant for the shooting part of the problem ! am I wrong on that too ?
  3. Actually the DT line could be your problem ! have you a WF line you could try ? Sounds like you have a Fast action rod maybe step up to a 7 wt line see if that helps . A Buddy of mine had the same problem and he had the 6 WT like you so I put on my 8 WT FORWARD line he could Not believe the difference that made ! Try it ! Tight lines !
  4. After epoxy and fibre-glass the hull's should stand-up to anything the Bow has and still be lite enough to throw in the back of a pick-up . I also thought of foam but the spray type . And yes I have a Life-jacket Both good points guy's ! Thanks for your input !
  5. Just trial and error out of my head and I had a book from brother inlaw who just built a cedar canoe . Really! No Plan's .
  6. I found a pontoon craft out of the UK and thought of doing one out of cedar-strip . The chair is just to give you an idea I plan on one of those fold down from Can.-tire . Think it will Float ?

  12. Hey Trout try strapping your flyrod to a mountain bike pack a lunch and head down to 17th ave. boat launch . From there follow the path south you can go all the way to Southland . You'll find many spots you can call your Own ! Try it tomorrow its supposed to be a nice day !! Tight Lines !
  13. AHH THE GOOD OLD DAYS !!! BORN 1945!!! looking back life was good then wasn't it !!!
  14. If I could still do it I'd be on the river every Full Moon . Word of caution if you want to fish anchor or pull over to shore . At night you don't have the reaction time to avoid sweepers and rocks . I used to take my 16 ft canoe by myself better if you can go with a buddy . You'll find just drifting the river at night very relaxing without another soul in sight I did ./Clyde
  15. For what its worth my daughter got me a 5# Martin two piece for Christmas one year . I picked up a repackaged line at C.Tire the box was marked 5# when I got it home I was surprised to find a Cortland 8# weight forward . Double hauled that mother no problem with the 5# rod . The soft action rod may have something to do with it too . /Clyde.
  16. I finally get to comment on a topic that I can Really Relate to . I C & R fish the Bow since moving to Calgary in 80 . I was out one windy day fishing a point and hooking fish on almost every cast . There was only one other fly-fisher downstream from me and he wasn't hooking any fish so I waved for him to try my spot Good Thing I did . As I was changing my fly a gust of wind came up and pulled the #14 hook out of my hand and neatly planted its self in my lower lip . Needless to say I was somewhat embarrassed to ask for help but this young fellow had all the gear Hemostat's Too ! hanging from his vest . You should have seen the look on his face as he gripped the fly to Release Me . I'm not sure how fish feel but I felt the sting of being hooked for a week. I won't get into the time I hooked the corner of my eye-lid and had to go to the emergency . Have Fun this weekend on the water and watch out for those wind gusts .
  17. CORRECTION on the above post Graham Owen Gallery. Sorry about that Brent ! This guy is into Realistic Flies !
  18. I search fly fishing sites and came across Graham Olsen . Just Google that name am sure you will be impressed . Tight lines!
  19. Check out the last pic I loaded PACRESELTORO !!! 1 POST for ONE PIC !! Not exactly fishing related but there is water !
  20. Has anyone checked out Graham Owens web-site ? His ties are so Realistic . I tried to attache a sample but it was to big .
  21. Not sure how I managed those other posts either but I finally got a picture up . Give me a break eh !
  22. Not sure how I managed to get that pick of me uploaded more luck then anything . So if an old timer like me can do it should be a piece of cake for anyone!
