In the end, they are all nice fish. Just relax... why get mad on forum with someone you will (possibly) never meet?

Hi DutchDryfly and CDone.
Do you know where I can test the Elixir or Tonic lines? (Calgary)
Thanks
-
such an old post. I recently got this rod, still looking for a line with it.
Tried airflo scandi 270, 300, 330 grams. 270 is too light. 300 or 330 seems ok.
has anyone tried different line on this rod?
feedback is very appreciated.
-
has anyone tried the SA Scandi Extreme Head? how is it compare to airflo?
looking for new Scandi line.

Roll cast? Dude said he was having trouble overhead casting streamers. Its even harder to rollcast them. Just practice . Slow everything down and open up. Lots of people to help u out on here.
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.

Fishfreak says:
"I remember eating lunch while a guy was fishing a pool at the Liv. In half an hour, with multiple fly changes, he caught nothing. After I finished my lunch, I saw what was rising, and caught 5 in just a few minutes. That guy complained of a slow day on the Liv, while I had a great one. On one of the high mountain lakes, I caught 70+ fish in less than 2 hours, while people around me got a handful the whole day."
Fishfreak - If I caught 70 fish in two hours, I'd quit or lose count, how did you manage to accurately catch 70 fish in a 120 minutes. Let's see.....120 divided by 70 = 1.71 minutes per fish. That is of course if you don't take time out to pee, change fly, or otherwise! WOW!!!I told you a thousand times to quit exaggerating!!!
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.

is it the clear??
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 line
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.

come on man ya can't make a 230ft cast with a buncha nymphs and an indicator on???? lolol jeez... you need to step up your game!!
LOLOL. 
There's a very steep hill along D isn't there
if it's where I am thinking, actually both spots that come to mind are similar... then nymphing along D and all the way around downstream of D in the main river is very good too.ya, you are right. it's there!
-
So are you saying that you have not "physically" been to this location?! It might be totally different then what "google map" shows, from my exp. Remember, the google map, maps are quite old (often prior to the flood of 2005) so the river may not be exactly as it shows...
I'd be curious to find out if this is the case, please let us know...
Also, what about standing on the top left bank, that way you have the entire side channel to fish as well as the seam that is formed from where the side channel meets the main river?! As well bank below...
P
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.

If it was me I would stand at "D" (after checking for risers and being sure not to spook anything that might be there)... and cast up on the drop off I would assume is at "E" (can it be reached with a cast or are we talking about a 100ft wide side channel?).
So... I'd stand at D and survey the whole scene for risers... if found I would position myself for a drag free drift at them... if no risers I would nymph...I'd fish the seam starting my drifts at E and having them float through both C (a bit faster) and B (deep slow drift) with nymphs. I'd try a few lighter nymph presentations in "A" as well... assuming that's a slow side channel there would be lots of small mayfly nymphs and leeches and whatnot in there so I'd go about 3 and 4 ft under an indy with a small set of nymphs at A, if that didn't work I'd streamer fish all of A with small black woolly bugger too. Then I'd stand at E later on and cast way out into the main current and let my streamer rig (2 streamers) come back into C, and B, and see if anythings lying there in an aggressive state.
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?

My car got broke in, the window was broken and my bag was missing.
I have been fishing there many times, didn't have a problem before.
SO be careful when you fish there. Make sure you leave nothing valuable in car.
