Gaffer

So I have gotten back into the hobby pretty hard after some time off. My current rod is a TFO Signature 9' 6wt. The line that I have on it is just a generic line that I bought to get me going, but I am not really enjoying how it casts. Most of my fishing is on the Bow, primarily from shore, but with the occasional float. I am just getting the hang of casting graphite as I have only cast glass rods in the past. The problem that I am finding is that I am accustomed to my old glass rod (RIP) loading the line easier than my current one. My cast is rather slow so I am wondering if my casting may need some work too. Would there be any advantage to going with a 7wt line? I primarily nymph, but also throw drys hoppers & streamers for some variety. So, I am looking to change up my line and see how that goes before I go looking for another rod. I have considered going back to glass rods too as I prefer the touch of them. Anyone have a reccomendations for me as to a line that may work better for me? Thanks, Andrew

I saw an article on the news last night. Good to see after the abysmal year they had last year. A

I have the Fuji XP10 and I am really pleased with it. http://www.fujifilm.ca/x21831.xml Andrew

There was an epidode of Monster Fish that featured these fish. Totally amazing. Hopefully the Buddist traditions of Mongolia will keep these fish safe for several generations. A

Another option would be a tiered permit, one for C&R only and another for those who plan to keep thier catch. I think rather than an exam, I would rather see more officers to educate & enforce out on the waterways. Andrew

Thanks for the heads up. Survey filled out. A

Home Oufitters perhaps? Andrew

Really what it all boils down to is a lack of respect out there. There is lots of river to fish & many places to take your dog. If people would just think about others these interactions woudl not be happening. Andrew

No, but the original poster was. That i was I referring to. I have had the random person on the river thing too. I just give them the hairy eyeball and they go elsewhere. Andrew

There was a topic about this in another part of the forum about the Southland Dogsh!t park. I think you were totally in the right here. I have used southland to access parts of the river there, but for a guy to fish in an area where he knows there are dogs, and then get pissed when he is bothered by a dog is just stupid. Like others have said, there is other, and better fishing within minutes of that area. Even if he walked up stream or waded to a channel where there were no dogs. He sounds like a bit of an attention wh0re. My issue with SDP still is the expansion and degradation of the banks in that area casued by over use and misuse. A

I bought all the PT wood for my fence from Windsor Plywood. They seemed pretty good and the boards we nice & straight, pretty wet still so if you plan on putting htem up right when you get them you should be golden. Andrew

Sounds like you had a great time. Talk to you later. Andrew

Can you get a picture? I may be able to help you out if I were to see a pick. Andrew
