Like others I always have at least 2 rods ready, and most common 6 wt 4 pce 9 ft, and 5 wt 4 pce 9 ft. Very partial to 4pce rods but have 2 2 pce as well.I see several members use longer rods, and if I expand on my collection, I see a 9'6" or 10 ft in the future. FFC and the Spruce Meadows show will load you up with great info.It will not take you long to be addicted to the beautiful Bow.One of the members has a couple of great books on the Bow and Alberta waters. (Take it Jim)! I do not have room often in my boat, but since we are practically neighbors and I can reach you via FFC, maybe we will float some day. As you have already seen, this is a friendly welcoming group, and your time on the Bow will be improved by picking these folks brain. Nothing like a 24 inch Rainbow whistling your line through the water. At times they are in complete control, and Browns that will blow you away. I am not a pro, just offering my 2 cents worth.

Thats nice of you Murray, FYI, it is Carroll as a guy's name. He was excited about the show and FFC. Great info available to anyone, let alone a provincial transplant.

Howdy Carrol and welcome to FFC. I see you joined yesterday after our visit. There is a wealth of info on here, and if you have questions re anything, search it first and if it has been discussed you will find the info, if not enter a new post and the folks here will be a great asset to you learning the Alberta spots, and methods. Often members will respond to sensative questions with a PM for privacy. Everything you need to know about the Bow is here as well. If int check out the upcopming Fly Fishing Expo at Spruce Meadows later this month. Might see you out there, I never miss it. If you are looking for deals go early on Friday. Enjoy, I hope it helps your fishing in our province. Also good deals in the trading post.You will love the Bow!!

Great shots and words

Beautiful, Nice Job, How long was the fight?

Thanks Dave, I agree, on the boat they all come with me. I have lots of flies, and I'm sure your collection blows mine away. Lets try to get out in the spring. Happy 2013 to you and yours

It is my time of year to clean my rods, service and clean reels and most needed re organize my fly boxes (long overdue). I tend to cram too many flies in my boxes, and it is a bit harder to spot some wanted flies some times. I am thinking of fewer flies per box but then I carry more boxes in my vest,(to paranoid not to have them all with me.). Are you guys like me and over pack the boxes, or do you leave some room and carry spares? Wondering if I should use a diff approach to packing my flies.It seens when I select some for a day on the water, I may run out of the hot ones. What are you FFC folk doing with yours?

Heat Socks, Gloves, and a first aid course

Mike and Dave are great guys. Wishing you both the best.

I did not realize we had them in our fisheries, let alone that theyare also good to eat. How big do they get and how do you catch them?

If anyone needs to found, it is them, or any medical need. Glad to hear you can pin point that close.

What a nice keep sake. Love the rods and reels. I would keep it out on display if I had gear like that.I don't have any info on them, just really think they are cool. Enjoy! There are a couple of big collectors of Bamboo rods on FFC, so hopefully you some info. Good Luck

a diff friend told me abot Ooma as well. I recently heard the new Magic Jack does not have to be plugged in to the computer. Following up on that soon.

Thanks, Ithought of that. Good Idea

I have been unhappy with Telus for years, and want to dump them. I am thinking of the Magic Jack, and Vonage. Have any of you tried M Jack and what do you think? A friend in Mexico loves it. Close to making a decision. Any feedback is welcome.

They look like AMC Pacers to me.

What duties do you need volunteers for?

Thanks, makes sense. I have not used chat at all.

Howdy to all FFC. I have 2 in red by my chat icon, and when I click it, I see no chats. What is the number for, and should there be 2 chats as a result? Thx

4 boxes of Cubans automatically wins unless someone got 5

Wishing the best of the season and a great 2013 to members and family

Congrats, he looks like a fly fisher

A flask of Glenfiddich, doesnt that get your feet wet?

I saw one on TV yesterday same topic, Vancouver #5 Calgary #32, I would have to disagree with that survey

I agree, my pics look like crap compared to these. Nice work, thanks for sharing, and welcome to Alberta
