Kev pretty sure SJW is just getting an idea for what sort of demand there is and what sort of products we would want...... by the sounds of it hoodies tees and hats, stickers and decals seem to be the top of the list. We know he will produce something reflective of the site and that is nice so we are just sorta preemptively giving the orders we will likely make once the products are available.....(atleast I think thats what we are doing) AS for pricing I would imagine its gonna be reasonable but I really have no clue......

LOL don't get your hopes up bloom...... your just not my type......

great vids...... gotta love the old school reel shots...... Thanks for posting those

flown with them a few times thanks for the headsup

OK so does that mean that if we have nearly 1000 members and 2 or 3 are female then we can make a blanket statement that .2- .3 % of flyanglers are Female? How optimistic does that make you single guys feel? LOL By the by I have been around long enough for Bi-annual flowering plants to come 12 times to Bloom.

I'd be in for a t shirt M, hoodie L, and probably a hat..... I think my head is regular size.......

I would definately be interested in fact I have a great idea for a t shirt i think.

Bow river- 2 of them -float it again- and be able to increase my distance casts to enable me to fish all that awesome structure on the far bank on the middle and upper bow....... need to be able to consistantly make 60-100 foot casts...... with no backcast AND still be able to set the hook which I can do already but it usually requires the 10 step hookset step 1 set hook steps 2-10 - run backwards trying to keep the pressure on Cutty streams--I'd love to be able to get dropped at the farthest point up that I have been able to walk and wade a certain stream in one day and walk the next 6-8 kms of what I imagine is basically untouched water.... Stillwaters-- better technique-- develop more consistent retrieves, depth control, and learn the more subtle uses of different sink rate lines.... and develop some patience.

if I quit all my jobs will you land my fish and drive me around for the week? JK Sounds like your living the dream this week have fun man

just thought I would toss in a quick note about the effectivenss of koolaid for dying fly tying stuff...... could be handy for those of you who might be interested in having some different colours of pheasant tail. I picked up several predyed phasant tails so I have actually not tried to dye them but I imagine koolaid would do the trick.

sorry just read my post and it makes no sense...... I reccomend you bring lots of streamers, especially weighted ones I think this was the one technique that would have made me more successful that I didn't use. I have done prettu well on streamers in various places farther down since then and have found that some of the bulls especially the bigger ones are in the deeper faster runs in some cases rather then the pools. The pools do seem to hold some smaller bullies. The river also has some big bows I believe but I have never managed to catch one bigger the 17 inchs....

Been up past the first canyon wall on the...... west side where you either have to cross and head up on the otherside or bushwhack the west side..... I crossed over. I have only ever gone maybe 2 miles up from the bridge by the campground though maybe a bit less...... so not that far...... I wish I could tell you I hammered em the farther up I went but it would be a lie....... none the less the only fish I was catching was bulls and I was not fishing streamers at all...... I was a rookie the last time I fished that far up the snaring and streamers were not my forte......I think it may be worth doing but I can't offer you much advice other then that

Nice post that top pic is really epic....... Sorry to hear about the bad luck though..... sounds like most of my fishing trips. If no one is injured no gear is lost or broken and all vehicles are still running at the end- you know I wasn't on that fishing trip LOL

That Bully shot is awesome........ really awesome

Sweet fish Ben! though i can't say I know anything about them.....

Great post that area is awesome. The hike is pretty killer I did it with float tube and all my gear the first time and once I got to the lake the zipper split on my float tube rendering it useless........ man was I choked as in order to zip it up again I had to deflate it and I didn't bring a pump with me to inflate it afterwards...... I imagine a few coarse words could be heard echoing through the woods that day. Great pics and great fish to by the way........ that rainbow and that brookie are really nice. Did your boys do the whole hike in rubber boots? PS its nice to see you on this forum

Perfect thanks a lot guys I appreciate it...... Oh and I have no intention of purchasing a 9 foot for spey casting I just broke my good 10 foot rod and have been very surprised with the distance I can "spey cast" with my old dragonfly I used quotation marks as it is very liberal to call what I do real spey casting

Thanks TM thats as clear an answer as I was hoping for. And thank you though for doing the math cause I thought 9x5 was 54....... no joke........ I amaze myself some days

TM or SG I know this is a stupid question..... but I am gonna ask it anyways LOL...... if you had to put a maximum distance spey castable with a cheap 9 foot 6 wt rod what would you say it is? I know that some pros may be able to launch it to the moon and some gorbs might not make 20 feet but if you had to even ball park it for an average advanced spey caster what would you say is possible? I remember a post by SG that said approx 5x the length of the rod though I may be outta context...... and trust me I am not gonna quote you on it I am just curious as to the approx limitations of certain gear......... And of course this would be under optimal conditions and I realize that this could easily change depending on certain factors......

I do a lot. But canmore has a pretty low break in rate and its pretty quiet where I live. I also hide my gear under fast food containers and smelly fishing clothing......

No worries Pipestone never even made it there........ long story LOL I do really appreciate it and if I ever go I will respect your instructions...... in case you plan on going I will PM you with the conditions though.

Nice pig!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just booked a night at the kinbasket lake resort for tommorrow night. I am gonna be heading out eearly tommorrow morn and doing some fishing. I have fished kinbasket at the northern end and have done pretty well. However this time I will be in the area around golden and don't know jack....... If anyone can share any insight into this area of the lake itself or other fishing ops in the area I would really appreciate it. I have been told the area to go is the east side of the lake..... bush road or something..... None the less when I was out the other day i was also told some good fishing can be had even in the area around kinbasket lake resort which obviously makes sense as there must be fish everywhere...... Anyways if anyone can shed any light on the lake or other fishing ops in the area I would hugely appreciate it. If not I plan on focusing on any inflowing streams. I will try and post a report when I get back..... I may even take some pics this trip LOL. Anyways thanks in advance guys. Regards Chris

WOW...... LOL smooth

Thanks brent I figured thats what you meant with the biots. Again nice tie
