has anyone tried the SA Scandi Extreme Head? how is it compare to airflo? looking for new Scandi line.

Original: I can't seem to cast streamers to save my life, especially when they are weighted of if I need extra weight on the line. I have developed pretty decent casting with dries and nymphs. Any advice on the technique I should be practicing, so that they cast more than 10 feet or don't hit me in the back of head. I am currently using a 6 weight rod and 6WF floating line. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ where does it say overhead casting? and he is looking new technique. how is it harder to rollcast streamer than overcast? I don't see any problem mastering rollcast, it also make you cast easier and further with streamer + sink tip. not happy with rollcast? why not learn single hand spey with instructor? u just need to practice, and you don't need to buy a new rod.

tie three flies and have triple headers everytime will make it 5.1 mins.

roll cast FTW, especially casting heavy flies and not worry about hooking yourself

I practiced double spey and circle c. I get quite well with these two casts. The good things with these two casts are 1) I can fish on both side of river 2) and cast while the wind blows up/downstreams.

How do you decide what fly or flies to use? What I do is go through all causal flies in my fly box, then if nothing works, use the odd ones. Two days ago, was fishing at NW. In the first hr, I tried SJW, PT, CJ, and etc... NOTHING. Switched to Ice Cream Cone, I landed 6 fish in 30mins. This happens couple times, just throw on odds flies, it might work. And what prompts you to change the fly or flies you're using? when you catch nothing.

I am a honest dude, but I catch no fish

should try upload to youtube, and use the insert video option on the side. it will be embedded. this board only supports youtube.

lol sry, i can't read. misunderstood

lesson to learn... but you could have avoid this by going to the airport earlier... not 5mins before your flight. then you could have a chance to mail/add extra luggage.

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.
