no joking. pulled 30" pike from 3rd pond. about 1~2 month ago.

Thanks all, got my exchanged. New one will arrive sometime next week. Will give you guys an update if the new one still have same problem or not.

i had the Airflo Ridge Presentation Fly Line, Floating Lichen Green 6 WF Braided RXP-WF the best is to go to fish tales fly shop, they have lots of airflo lines, and compare with other lines. staffs there can provide great help. They also have some on sale lines (in the basket), it's $40 only. I grab mine for $40, a 6wf.

air flo ridge = great for nymphing + casting streamer, I found it's kind of too heavy to cast dry. I have this line mainly for nymphing. rio gold = great for dry fly. it sux a big time for nymphing + casting streamer. I would only recommend if you just wanna cast dry. I have this line this time of year for the only purpose: dry. btw, rio gold will crack (mine cracked). make sure you keep the original package and receipt for exchange. the quality is not acceptable for a $75 line.

Hi all, i purchased simms g3 convertible days ago. Upon second time use, i noticed slight leaking on both knee. Its not like leaking alot, but i can feel pants are wet around knee after taking off the wader. And also little wet inside the wader. Is this normal fot simms wader? Thanks for ur input!

loop multi is very good rod. I have a 5wt, love it. like others mention, 4wt might be the way to go if you have 6wt already.

omgwtfBBQ???? I am gonna catch one in a 1wt rod

alright. I went to the same spot twice. Today is my best day of fishing since the water gets so high and murky. Fishing from 2pm-5:30pm. Hook 11 fish, landed 5 of them. I was fishing around B&C first, got my first fish in 20 mins, then it slowed down. just an ok size fish. I decide to give "A" a try. fished in very shallow and slow water, probably ~2 to 3 ft deep. Landed this guy, taped 18". I was surprised, didn't know this water can produce such fat white fish. I basically cast to slow water and let it dead drift. caught two more suckers. then this guy got hooked, this is probably my biggest white fish ever, taped 20". takes a long time to pull it in. look how fat it is. I am very impressed, didn't know this part of bow river can produce such big whites. most whites I caught in NW are small, I have never caught anything this big in NW. Most fish caught on this I guess smaller fish like to hang out around faster water, B&C. The true big ones are at A. At least from what I have experienced.

ya, you are right. it's there!

i was there yesterday. me bad at estimate distance, so use google map to do it. I was standing at E, casting to D is a bit distance. I am not a good caster, some pro might be able to do it? Actually, google map was kind of off little bit as you call, the river is much higher than the picture shown. ya, I will try the bank near D. Thanks.

the distance between D and E is about 230 ft according to google map. so stand at D cast E is impossible. would you suggest stand at E, and just let it drift along the current C until it reaches D? You were correct. the depth in A is about 2-4 ft, and I was using light nymph 3ft below indicator. I will try streamer next time as you suggest. I think there are some big ones lying at A to B, cuz I saw some big risers there. The only problem is to get from E to D will takes about 30 mins walk, I am too lazy. So conclusion is starting from D is a better choice?

hey. I think you r looking something very similar like this http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/showthread....ighlight=google there are actually lots of information on that google map. you can get gsp location on google map, and enter into your gps. if you have android mobile phone, you can even view this info and navigate from your phone! if you have google account, I can invite you. just pm me

Today, I discovered a new part of river which I have never fished at. Side channel: slow and shallow. Main current: fast I am trying to figure out where fish likes to feed at this kind of structure. I tried nymphing, had 3 hooked. what I did is: I was standing at "E", cast to "A" and let it drift to "B". Most of fish I got was in the end of drift, when indicator reached to point "B". 2 out of those 3 I hooked were hooked on the side. They definitely was facing away from my flies. Question: where is fish most likely feeding at? and facing which way? where should I drift nymph in this diagram? I actually saw a lot of raisers at point "A" and "D". Thanks for all of your help.

I just started learning fly tying. Tied this one, had great success! I think it looks even more realistic than elk hair caddis. love this fly. Hemingway caddis

haha. if you mail this to CTV or global, you will be on TV next day.

Was out having a lesson with Max. After learning basics on spey casting, we started to fish. Yes, first fish on spey rod, not a big one, but still a fish! Many thanks to Max, what a nice guy!

if so, you might wanna upgrade that video card in that list. Why? Nowadays, even online flash games can result in a lot of GPU (video card) power. Not to mention world of warcraft. SSD? a 32GB SSD = $179.99 a 64GB SSD = $259.99 a 128GB SSD = $379.99 a 256GB SSD = $774.99 a 1TB (1024GB) regular hard drive = $90 If you are not in a hurry, forget about SSD.

I love computer as much as I love fishing. as for price, do a little math Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English = $129.99 AMD Phenom™ II X6 1055T= $219.99 ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB = $74.99 6GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 4 DIMMS = $229.99 1TB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache = $89.99 23.0" Dell ST2310 Full HD Monitor with VGA cable = $179.00 16X DVD+/-RW Drive = $29.99 total = $955, not includes other things I would say $1000 is a good deal for this setup. That CPU looks alright. One thing to keep in mind. see that 6GB memory costs $229.99, i would say 4GB is more than enough for regular usage, 6GB is kind of an over kill. I assume you don't play game, so that video card ATI Radeon HD 5450 is good choice. Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English. Be careful about 64bit, not all old softwares you have will run on 64bits. The old software mostly run on 32bits (aka x86). my honest opinion, if you have $1000 to spend on computer, this one is great. however, if I would pick one computer for my friend, I will try to put the cost down to $800.

Ya, that's what I mean. Thanks for the suggestion. I got 15' type 3 sink tip, but I didn't have the 3-4' mono. I would have to get that. very helpful, thanks! I will give T-15 a try. the line selection is more complicate than I can think. lol Ya, that's what I thought too. You mean cut down the floating tip right?

Hi all. I always wanna get into spey fishing. After talked to Kelvin in fish tale store, I got my first spey rod, echo 6w 12'6". I have been practicing snake roll + cast for the past few days. It's not easy, but fun! Couple questions in my mind... 1. I tried streamers, but don't really know how exactly it should work. I cast out across the river, and let it dead-drift downstream parallel-ish along the bank, then retrieve. Is this the way to cast streamer on spey rod? I watched couple videos, sometimes people cast 45 degrees downstream, and retrieve immediately. what's the proper way of casting streamer? 2. What's good stream fly? (I know it's a big question) I tried clouser minnow, bunny bug, woolly bugger, but all catch nothing. 3. Is Nymphing on spey rod a NO-NO? I searched, spey nymphing. I tried use same setup as on my single hander rod: 9 feet leader + indi + split shot + nymphs. My spey rod setup is: skagit head (24') + floating leader (15') + the rest. When I nymphing with this setup, the line is just so slack. Should I cut down the floating leader? I saw people mention Polyleader. What exactly is it? Thanks, Eric

for lake, you can go to de witts pond. it's a stocking pond just west of airdrie, and they just stocked a thousand rainbow recently.

what u smoking?? lol just kidding, i saw many coconuts too.... and im smoking....

Started the day with this white fish then more white fish.... something unusual come out! A sucker! 22" sucker! what a fight! here is the the surprise for today. 18" beautiful fish!

it actually costs $369.99 CAD from saneal camera. you can just go to the store and compare it.

I tried other underwater cameras. No one takes picture as easy as panasonic, the AI mode allows take easy and good picture in/outdoor.
