Pete. If this was Facebook I would dislike this post. Only because I'm super jealous of you at this nmoment.

Saw one of those little buggers Saturday. I got really excited. I love stonefly season!!!

I've also wondered this question. I'm currently using a floating line with a sink tip. Various lengths. But I have also wondered about a clear intermediate line. Any thoughts?

I second the Copland 333. I used it for my first line. Decent for the price.

^^^^^ like.. good on J

i just bought some rope and a couple beaners and a 5 pound down rigger ball at wholesale and it works excellent for an anchor.. i bought the back pack straps but have yet to use them. love my fish cat 4, hope to hike it up to rawson lake this year.

I have to agree with fish pro. I love fishing for pike. Slimy and toothy. Can't beat it

Hard to consider it aclottery when the same team wins three years in a row. Something fishy going on there I think.

I hail from ontario. So the bass masters hook set is in my blood and I can't shake it. I set it hard and still manage to catch fish. I agree with rikr could be the way fight them or just lady luck. Keep at r and you get them to the net.

i saw that CO there too.. he had parked on the east side of the river and walked over. I also think that he was writing someone else up just at the side channel. dude was on a bike and he was packing up pretty quick when i was heading back to the truck. and those guys who were spin casting were in that run for at least 4 hours while i was down there.. too bad..i'm sure i could have pulled one out of there

This is excellent news as I frequent the lake in the summer. Maybe if the fish have the chance to grow larger I will have to bust out the 5 wt instead of the standard issue 4wt. Thanks for all who made this possible.

i currently am using a 10' 5wt for my nymph rig. I find it helps me with casting especially out of the boat.. and it also helps with roll casting if your walking and wading and there are obstacles behind you. I say go for it.. this will be my 3rd season with the 10' rod and i love it. Will give you some great arm strength too if your casting it all day.

i do not have shaw 2.0.. you think i would since i work for them.. butt... i have an iphone 4 and the set up for shawmail is a POP3 server account incoming mail server: pop.shaw.ca username, is your email address without @shaw.ca password, is your password if you go into your SMTP server options and under other SMTP servers you need to turn on the Rogers SMTP server. i hope this works for you.. thats how mine is set up and its working. Everette

i'm using a 5wt 10' as well.. makes it easy to roll cast and get some distance from a boat when i'm left handed and have other in the boat. Its a pretty solid rod that also allows for some good distance casting when needed.. like stated above the length also helps when mending from the boat

i never made it to the show this year, but from what i read it was just about the same as last year. As for the Fly fishing expo, went there and should have kept my money, i was in the same mindset as Grinr (sportsman show). I had some money and was ready to spend it. But, it was just a lot of outfitters and a couple shops, some guys tying flies, and a few sexy hyde boats. The only good think i found from it was seeing April in person, damn that girl looks good! and shes a lot shorter then i thought she'd be.... guess i will save my money for the local fly shops where i know they want my business...

working for shaw i see a ton of audio systems. I have see a few sound bars. I haven't heard the polk one but i'm sure its fantastic as well. Having said that, the one I have heard that was absolutely outstanding was the Bose sound bar. I have never been a huge fan of bose stuff but when it comes to a single speaker it does a great job of mimicking a 5 speaker surround. Also if you buy something at visions you have 14 days to return it or 30 days for a exchange. So buy one take it home listen to it and then if it doesn't do what you want bring it back and get another. And then repeat till your satisfied. Remember you get what you pay for, so a cheap sound bar will keep you a cheap sound. hope that helped a bit Everette

haha.. i know i was kidding..wearing more socks is a terrible idea, you feet sweat and get cold way to fast

I look at it this way.. 3 people $20 buxs a person for a day on the water is a pretty decent price. Of course I'm cheap and I wish it was cheaper, but I pay because I want to fish.. simple..

i'd say felix too. been there a couple of times with one of my co workers, great people and great service.. or just wear more socks..that should fix the issue

i'd say about 8 hours minimum, if you stop at all the fishy spots it seems to run about 10 hours.

i had the same thing on the liv a couple weeks ago. Caught the same fish with the exact same marking in the same spot.. ironically on the same adams fly. First time that has happened to me.. and i couldn't help but ask myself huh? really? did that just happen??

as per usual.. great pictures!! i'm a little jealous.. i need to get out exploring

great pics!! i can't wait to get out and catch some alberta stream cutts!

so far this year i have only had one run in with a fellow.. i wasn't to pleased. I showed up at a run that i find very productive most of the year.. i was the only one there.. it was kind of nice.. i fished it for a bit and moved up kinda around the corner. About 10 minutes later i took a step back around the corner and their was a father and son duo fishing just below me. Clearly they were unaware of my presence. The quickly packed up and moved farther upstream. We exchanged a few pleasantries as we passed one another but nothing mean or offensive. I appreciated him moving on after he saw me. now as i fish downstream and back to the whole i originally started at.. A guy walks down that bank and asked how i was doing this evening. I said nothing yet. And then this ass hat (to coin someone elses phrase) has the balls to say I'm just gonna fish up a bit, doesn't even ask. I assumed he meant up around the corner which would have been fine by me. But nope..just about ohhh 30ft upstream.. where i was basically casting my line and letting its drift downstream. I literally could have cast in his pants pocket. I'm sure you could have seen the steam coming from my ears and I'm sure my face was red as blood. But i never said a word.. just fished a for a few more minutes and then F this S, I'm just gonna go home.. completely ruined my night... There isn't a chance in hell i would fish that close to someone without asking them first. But i guess some people are nice and pleasant and some are just dicks. I really hope that the guy who mooched my run is on this board and reads this. I'm sure hes not because i have found most people on this board have a brain and know how to use it when it comes to etiquette. But i have been wrong before. I'm going out Saturday for a drift. I will be sure to say hi to as many folks as possible and no.. i wont cast in the same run as any shore fisherman.. god damn I'm mad right now.. .i need a beer..... Everette
