ahhh.....I'm an idiot..... Thanks Terry. Well so much for my master plan..... looks like its back to the books.

Well I gotta find a place to tie I guess...... did you by chance change the patterns the pools would be tying as I spent all last night researching mayfly patterns and I see that i am supposed to do a caddis.... not a big deal just not sure whether it was me reading wrong or whether it was changed

Happy Birthday man

Sweet truck man. Those silverados are nice machines. I have been doing the debate on getting back into a truck, had an old ford f150 but it was a tank on gas and was reaching the end of its days...... Ended up in a honda civic..... thats a tough change. Been thinkin about Avalanches, 4 runners, or a Dodge but everytime I look at the gas bill since I got the honda I have to hesitate.

suddenly I feel better bout being single.

Can't tell you anything but there is some trout in mexico believe it or not heres some neat links http://www.americanfishes.com/mexico/map.htm http://www.americanfishes.com/mexico/acaponeta.htm

upper bow is open water in most areas but is not fishin super hot. Been catching a few on the spey rod though which is a blast. I knew that thing would be great for the upper bow fishin streamers. Tough hitting some of the good streamer water with the short rod but its doable. But I don't expect many will leave the lower bow for its moody upstream version.

thats a sweet simple tie dbt thanks for the step by step

we can build a fort at my moms place! LOL seems to me that this is in some ways a club or definately a group already...... but I think its fairly evident that it would be tough to make a real club with physical meetings as many members are spread out around the province....

Definately gonna try and make that. If plans go as planned it may even be just a short drive north for me.

awesome step by step Brent sounds like a intruder is to flytying what cricket is to sports you gotta stop for a meal and a drink in the middle. So how much do you figure rhea adds to the fly? I honestly can't really say it appears to be a big difference but I have not fished em so I guess I dunno. thanks for that bbb

I think wasting any edible fish is BS. UNLESS it is a situation where the regulations advise/demand you not release an invasive species or something..... in this case if you can eat it you should (my opinion) but if say you don't eat fish and have no one who will eat it then I see no other option. If your not sure then call the number in the regs and find out what they reccomend

Love em Brent. I also agree your heads look great for flies to be fished. If you ever feel like makin a step by step it would be cool to see how you tie em.

"A fish is considered retained (kept) when it is not immediately returned to the waters from which it was taken" immediately 2 entries found. immediately[1,adverb]immediately[2,conjunction] Main Entry: 1im·me·di·ate·ly Pronunciation: \i-ˈmē-dē-ət-lē also -ˈmē-dit-, British often -ˈmē-jit-\ Function: adverb Date: 15th century 1 : in direct connection or relation : directly <the parties immediately involved in the case> <the house immediately beyond this one> 2 : without interval of time : straightway <I'll make that call immediately>

I see your point MTB. The barb issue aside it would be hard to prove this guy has done anything illegal. That said the barb issue as well would be hard to prove without a reasonable doubt as the guy could likely claim a couple different stories.....

I really like that story. Good one Rick.... remind me not to fish the flats with you

yeah sorry bout the hijack there I dunno anything about fishing or tying crayfish cept that you can fish em from orange- almost black and a lotta colours in between.......

I'm sure something will eat that. looks like a nice pattern to fish as it'll be really easy to see..... might be cool with a spun deer hair head and a little bit larger a head but I have a feeling it will catch fish like that...... DBT's note on the back legs might be a good change as well

hmmmm how did he taste DBT...... had some crawfish etouffee (sp) a couple months back thems tasty critters

Happy birthday man, I hope you called in sick and went out to fish.

Weedy1....... I think we are in agreement

true enough weedy and with rules like immediately release it seems to me that depending on what your idea of immediately means we could argue that a lot of us are breaking the rules...... seems to me people make there own beliefs on whats acceptable by how they can bend or stretch the rules to apply to the way they want to fish and behave. Anyhow this is not the first time this discussion has come up and it won't be the last. The rules are kinda vague so this grey area will always be debated.......

thats a very good post toolman the only problem is how we and others and the enforcement officers define proper care and handling hope my post does not seem condone this video or these guys.....but though I have never seen these guys live I have seen worse then what i just saw in that video. I just feel that blasting them on internet forums is not gonna help the situation...... Even on this site we blast each other on things like on the ground pics, removing fish from the water at all, handling a fish long enough to take a picture, using nets, not using nets, multi hook rigs that can snag/foul hook fish, trailer hooks ect ect..... anyways this is another conversation that, without a detailed legal definition of proper fish handling, will only spin in circles fueled by, emotion, gut reactions, egos, personal opinions, and ideologies. Seems to me the letters should not go to reporting these guys but instead should be requesting a proper set of definitive rules and guidelines.... The way things stand at the moment I don't believe that the actions I have seen in this guys movies could, in court, be proven to be illegal. Also one needs to realize that if they ever created a set of definitive rules and guidelines some of us may be disapointed depending on who's ideology they were to base it on.... Could be they decide no fish that is to be released can not leave the water....... would mean no more trophy pics, could be they decide that you must immediately cut your line when you realize a fish is foul hooked..... might mean a lotta sacrificed rigs..... So with your letters make sure you include your ideology.

I think rickrs got it..... everyone piss's downhill..... and rickrs scale is basically just how it works. Anyways this whole arguement of how cruel is cool when fishing is hypocritical. I draw my own line but I don't feel the need to try and justify it compared to others by how much better it is......

what if I want a cinnamon bun? I really like other peoples macs that I have tried but I have a dell..... its good but like all PC's it has issues
