I absolutely love my TFO rods and their warranty, but their decision not to adjust Canadian pricing to get significantly closer to US following the runup of the Canadian dollar is truly puzzling to me.
Because the rods were built at the ol price and TFO hasnt sold the old stock yet?

Anyone got any god patterns to try? (anyone know what bunny pattern Humblefisherman uses in the bulltrout video is called)

Fishpond have really great practical fly vests.
I promised myself I'll get one this year.
Sun,
Just watch the zipper handles and make sure they dont have any lilttle slots in in them. I bought a fishpond jacket and my tippet and leader were constantly geting caught up in it while switching flys, and even sometimes my 4 weight line when wading. The vest other that that was great. I since switched to a springbrook Ghillie vest which is awesome,

Hugs all around.
Don't foregt the annual winter solstice fishing day sked for either Dec 21 or Dec 22. Actual solstice (when the Earth's axis tilts the most away from the Sun) is at 6:08 AM UTC which makes it 11:08 PM on Dec 21 here. So the actual instance of solstice is Dec. 21. BUT Dec 22 is a Saturday so we may opt for a the Saturday.
The past solstice fish ins have been a ton o' fun.
Crows nbest again I had to work last year so i hit the 19 lol. If i can make the 22 on the crowsnest im in like Flynn

Birchy,
Chances are your 3 wieght is rated as a 4 weight or a soft 5 as it is a TiCr so goin with a 4 F weight line is probably a good idea my 2 cents from what ol'boys have told me about these new fangled rods. Think about where and where your gonna be casting these lines and to what your gonna be casting too.
Regards Mike
-
Very Very nice step through and explanations Ty for that pattern.

Would have been quicker but everytime we tried to get near him with a net he'd make a hard run and there was no stoppin it. Also if I would have even thought there was a 28 inch fish in there I would have had 2x and my 7 weight rod, but hey its not everyday you get to hook set anything like this let alone plan on it.
-
Well I finnaly caught a bull and it was a monster taped out at 28 inches without the tail being pinched down. Caught on large super weighted streamer that freind tied up as an experiment. Great fight approximately 10 minutes with a 4 x tippet.

Diggler,
Uni Thread makeas a thread that is basically a really long dubbing loop through it in your bobbin and go to town. Looks awesome easy to use but im still thinking marabou will do better but the thread looks so much more durable.
