This week, Don, his brother Dale, and "Big" Al Dunbar fish the Oldman River in southern Alberta, Canada. They are without their usual cameraman, and find that filming themselves is as challenging as the fishing itself (and makes for some interesting footage). Nevertheless, they get into some beautiful fish, and catch it all on tape. On the bench, Don ties up a Mayfly Cripple.

I will do my best to upload shows and flies at least twice a month going forward. We are planning on filming some new "Web Exclusive" flies in January, so look for those in the new year! I'm happy to report that YouTube has removed my video length limit, meaning I can upload shows as 1 clip now (instead of 3 parts). This will make uploading shows faster and easier, and makes for a better viewing experience. I will continue to separate the flies from the episodes, so they can be found and watched quickly.

On this Quick Tip, Brian Chan demonstrates how to tie a non-slip loop knot. This knot allows your flies to pivot, especially useful when chironomid fishing - either hanging under an indicator, or on a wet line when your stripping them, providing a lot more action to the fly.

They go over hand retrieves, show how to safely throat sample a fish, and discuss other chironomid technqiues, while fishing White Lake, in British Columbia, Canada.

On this Quick Tip, Brian Chan informs Don about two programs that the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC is running to help promote fishing within the province of British Columbia. The first program is called Fishing Buddies, from the Go Fish BC website: What is the Fishing Buddies Program about? You know how much fishing has enriched your life – you’ve connected with nature, learned a new skill and bonded with friends. The Fishing Buddies program is a free and easy way for you to pass your passion for fishing onto someone new. Simply make a promise to introduce somebody - a friend, colleague, neighbour or relative – to the activity you love. Once you make the promise, you will receive the GoFish, BC! e-newsletter with stocking information, tips and stories on the best of angling in B.C. As an added bonus, enter the Fishing Buddies Contest to win exciting prizes including books, DVD's, fishing gear and BC Adventure Prizes! They are also running a program called Help Kids Go Fish BC. If you would like more information, visit these links: Fishing Buddies: http://www.gofishbc.com/fishingbuddies/default.htm Help Kids Go Fish BC http://www.gofishbc.com/donate/default.htm View the original article

I'm not sure how CBC would be able to prevent you from recording its channel if you are using a stand-alone DVD player / recorder. Maybe the signal is flagged with something that tells the DVD player not to record, however I doubt that you would not be able to see the channel in the first place. They don't prevent PVR's from recording so I doubt they'd stop other devices, my guess would be it's either a glitch, or the guide hasn't updated etc.

Personally I use a platform called Squarespace to build all of my sites (www.squarespace.com). You should have at least a basic understanding of html to use that, however, but there is a free, no credit-card required trial that you can use to test it out. An alternative to that (and free I believe) would be Wordpress (www.wordpress.org) - similar, not as intuitive / easy to make it not look like a blog, but if a blog will suit your needs then its pretty decent. Another one I have no experience with, but see it advertised all the time, is Wix - I have no idea how well it works though. (www.wix.com)

Here is another web exclusive fly from Sport Fishing On The Fly host Don Freschi. This video is available in YouTube HD. http://www.sfotf.ca/fly-tying/2010/6/2/don...chironomid.html

Here is another website exclusive On The Bench, hosted by Don Freschi. In this video, Don ties up a personal chironomid pattern of his, called Don's Gunslinger Chironomid. This versatile fly can be tied on size 8 - 16 hooks, and uses a metallic flashabou for the body. Another element that really sets the fly off is the fabric paint that represents the wing buds. The video above is using a new feature on the site called Apture, and offers related videos from within the site. We are testing this feature and as usual, we always look forward to your feedback, comments and suggestions. Don's Gunslinger Chironomid permanent link View the original article

Hey everyone - Just a heads up, I am testing a new feature I have integrated into the site called Apture. You will notice it when you scroll down a bit on any page, the blue bar at the top is this feature in action. It does a few cool things, like offer various share buttons, and keeps the website logo always visible - but the coolest features are the search bar, and highlighting text search. The search box will search various reputable sites for information, and display everything on top of this site (rather than forcing users to leave the site). The other cool thing is if you highlight any text, a search button appears. Hit it, and it will again bring up relevant information and display it on top of this site. Its a bit hard to explain so just give it a try. I have also created a Facebook Page for Sport Fishing On The Fly. I will always post updates to the website on there (like when I post new videos) so if you live on Facebook, just "Like" the SFOTF page and easily stay up to date with the show. If you experience any problems with the site or with this new feature (Apture), please post a comment on this entry or email kstanchuk@gmail.com Thanks for visiting the site. -kale View the original article
