You are partly correct. Who can on a Sunday? It was caused by the roots of a city of Calgary tree. So they fixed it.

Thx to both FFC guys for the input. FYI, re 311, if you do not have the sewer cap backing up, then it is an in house problem,and need a plumber. If it is backing up at the sewer cap the city will send someone out.

I found my basement tub backing up. I think the lower toilet has an obstruction. I have a 15 ft snake, and it seemed to do something, but not working right. Do I need a power auger, or any suggestions?

I may go out on sunday. Does anyone know how accessable the launch is above the weir? I would think it should be clear, but the weather that short distance away can be a lot worse. I hope there is very little if any ice. Any info appr.

Thx i will check it out. I have an 8 & 10 wt rod, for the biggies, and 5 or 6 for smaller.

Thx Biggy, I have heard big things about fortress, and great things about Dave and Amelia. It will be high on the list.

I have decided on treating the better half and me to a fly in this spring. Will consider northern BC, Alta or Sask.Want a camp, lodge, cabins or even a yurt sp? What do you fellow FFC members feel is the best bang for the buck? I think 3 days on the water should do it, plus travel time. Any feedback is appreciated, and will help me greatly, for direction on my research. Thanks in advance. If you wish, you can always PM me. Paul

My Great Uncle, Dad and ex brother in law started me when I was about 5. We also started with spinning gear. I can't count the number of great times I had. The Bow, Pine Lake Macgregor, Minnewanka, Columbia, and of course as a kid, chestermere. As my friends and I brought the kids up the ranks, we would take 3 boats out and drift the Bow. We would put in long hot days, and the kids and us could not get enough. All those kids are now adults with there own kids, and very good fishers, almost all have been on fly for many years. So mentored in the beginning, somewhat mentored and self taught on the fly, and took a course from country pleasures many years ago. I have been on fly for about 20 years, and once again cant count the amazing days, be it on the Bow, Harrison, Fraser, or other countless rivers or lakes. Lost my best fishin bud Greg to cancer a few years ago, but he is always fishing with me. Im sure he has given me the occasional swat on the back of the head, for the odd silly move. Even if the fishing is slow,(not too often), what a way to spend the day. I call it therapy. I am proud to fish anytime with the fine young adults we brought up on the water,(young compared to me that is). Gregs boys being two of them, and Simpson from FFC,and now they have families, and some of the kids are fishing too. Thats the way it is. I have had many kids out over the years, and mentor a developely mental delayed young man who loves time on the water. Pass it on. I would be very happy being remembered as Paul or uncle Paul, who we fished with. And to my fishing Buds, with us or not,and a better half who loves to fish, Thanks !! A very important part of my life.

Hi Dan, Thanks, I have not seen it. It was very helpful. Any other suggestions from FFC members for a good effecient cost effective space heater? A friend in Kimberly likes the mineral oil space heaters. Once again, any input appreciated.

Hello again FFC members,As you have been help in the past, here goes another one. I was just back from Vegas after being stranded for an extra week with a medical emergency in my group. I found an ad in the paper for this LED heater, very cheap to run. I have seen something similar on TV in Canada, but think this may be mor efficient. Does any of you know anything about these heaters. Are they efficient, and if only avail in the USA, what do you think would be paid in duty and tax to get one here. They are sold on line and mail order thru Sears in the USA. Any input is appreciated. Paul

Thx Doc, I will try to get pics, great info. I seem to think I recall you collected Hardy's.

Good Day FFC folks, I have had for quite some time a Hardys St Aidan reel. Do any of you know anything about it? I have only used it once. I think it is quite old. Any info welcome. Based on Mr. Google they have some value, and I think may have been used for steel and salmon. A bit odd as it is a caged spool, and you cant palm it.Thx Paul

CT has them, I think, dont need them now for me. Yeah !!

Lots of good info, Thanks Guys

Jusfloatin, you were right, new axle comes with grease nipples, glad to see it. It is just like a bearing buddy. Happy camper, or should I say fisher. Thx

Thx for all the good feedback guys.

Thanks I will look. Over the years I have got two or three axles on diff trailers, and they have never mentioned that.

Damn Right

Agreed

Hi FFC folks, recently a deer hit my truck and boat trailer. Lots of damage and bent the axle on the trailer. Standens replaced the axle. The old ones had bearing buddies on it and the new one does not. I am thinking of putting them on the new axle. Standens said not to, suggesting it does not really get the grease to the bearings, that you should regrease when you repack the hub bearings. What do you folks think. Still lean toward adding them.

Howdy All, I really enjoy my plywood floor w marine carpet in my jon. I bought the jon completed that way. I want to do the same for my alum lake boat. Do any of you know where to get marine grade carlet at a decent price? Any feedback is welcome. Thx

Thx Bud, i might do that.Besides, we should tie some. PL

Thx jayhad, why are you so up on the jeep? Would you go a 6 or 8?

Thx guys, Rick is that a V6, and are they full time AWD, or is 4x4 and AWD option choices. What kind of milage do you get? Muha, I had an exterra, and the fuel use scared me. Sounds like yours is a bit better milage. Any Santa Fe folks out there?

Hi Members, I am thinking of downsizing from my 02 ford 1/2 ton to a Ridgeline or Santa Fe, a couple of years old. Do any of you own or have exp with these vehicles? Any feedback is appreciated. Thx Paul
