IMO it's still wet wading season. You could just wear your wading boots with a couple thick pairs of socks or neoprene wading socks.
That way you could leave the stink at home!

Thanks for posting.
It's Iron "Bow" not blue, Doc.
Looking forward to supporting a great new shop in the NW!

Found a watch and some pliers on the bank of the Bow on Saturday.
If either item is yours, give a description and location where you lost it and it's yours again.
Cheers.

I second the Konic at that price point.

Thanks, tf. Got this message last week. I've hmmed and hawed over it long enough. Thought this extension might be a sign to go for it!

Thanks for the info, Chris.

Thanks for clarifying, Taco. TU Canada gives a "premium Winston or Orvis rod" with the purchase of a lifetime membership. Was wondering if anyone knew which rod. It used to be the BIIx years ago.
-
Thanks, Über. I figured it was the BIIIx. Might call Chris at BRT to confirm.
Cheers.

Hi All,
Does anybody know what Winston rod you can get with the Trout Unlimited lifetime membership?
Thanks,

Hey guys been tying some San Jaun worms and keep facing the same problem. Chenille always snaps right at the same point. This is an updated version in which I used the wire to set the chenille ends rather than the thread. The fly was soaked in water based head cement.
Any tips?
It might be the soaking of the chenille in head cement that is making it brittle. Though this does happen to most chenille worms after a lot of use.
Good luck!

It might be cheaper just to buy new flies to replace the ones you lost up there.....but I've used Tree Frog a couple times and have been happy with the work/price.

Let's say a 30-something Dad makes a decision that I assume we'd all support- to take his kids fishing. But he doesn't know anything, has no free time or money to explore, and without help he'll have a few failed trips, everyone will be dissappointed, and they'll most likely give up.
It seems like most of our fathers did fine before the advent of the internet. If you're looking on a computer for a place to go fishing...you're doing it wrong!...imho

Great work, guys.

I did find my share of dead ends, marginal fisheries, and wild goose chases.
Some of my most memorable days were full of these , too. But if you find enough of these you might find your own secrets...
It's part of the mystique of the sport. It's a feeling you have inside. That feeling isn't there if you get your spots off the internet or park next to the three trucks already at the bridge.
I got the feeling bad these days. Spring fever! Can't wait to get out and explore...
Cheers,

There's no way it was a fisher on the banks of the Bow. Nor a marten for that matter unless you were fishing the upper Bow.
-
If it was that big and weasel-like it was probably a mink.
There's a good pic here that shows the chin patch:

Nice spot!

Flyfishing and Tying Journal is a pretty classy read.

Most pontoons should break up into enough pieces to fit in the trunk of a car. The Outcast boats do anyways.

Fishing the Skeena in late August
Catch a few steelhead
Mostly Coho
Ugly Freschi (hahaha not the host cant remember his name) loses two fly lines becasue he was only using 20lb backing. I would have switched backing after losing one. When you probably get them for free from sponsors I guess it doesnt matter.
D'oh!
Isn't there a faceslap emoticon for this kind of thing?...! -
If I'm not mistaken, the show was almost identical to the Skeena series last year right down to fishing the same run.
Mike
Thanks for the info. Seen the one from last season. Guess I'll see it again this year. -
How was the episode? What time of year/species caught?
No pvr at my house!
