Hi All, My wife will learn to Fly Fish this summer. I would like some feedback on new or used gear to start. I prefer a warranty rod. Any suggestions on a decent 5/6 or 6 wt, largely for the Bow? She liked the Amundson deal at the show this weekend, but I am not fond of a 1 yr warranty. Any good used rod and reel sets out there? KnotLikely got me in to a nice sage 10 wt, thx again for that Rob. Feedback is appreciated. Also any deals on good PFD's out there, as she can't swim, yet I am a swimming god. OK a bit too much, I am a strong swimmer. Thx in advance. PL

Thats spelling for you. That should be bulb. lol

I thought the answer is one, but the buld has to really want to change.

I Don't get it ???

I forgot to say, it was a very fast download.

WOW !!!! Great work Bandi, and amazing clarity, of colors

Hi Jeff, as the other fellow fisher said, there is a great deal for a nice Hyde rental on this site. $150. for the day. I like Michelle and Bow River, but I dont think you can beat the other deal. Regards

Also one of my favorite ares, so many rivers and lakes to choose from. I hope to retire there, even the wife likes it. Simpson, lets try to get there this spring.

That sounds like a great deal for a drift boat rental. You can also rent from Bow River Shuttles, but this is likely the better deal, more so if you shuttle the boat. I will keep this deal in mind when extra friends come in, and I need a 2nd boat.

Thanks Colin, I could not recall Dennis's name for the life of me, (brain fart), and yes thet are great people, as is often the case with fly fishers. Regards Paul

A theif with taste.

Hello all, Time for the fly show again. Do any of you know the name of Diane Michelins husband. Diane is the lady with the great fly fishing art. He always works Spruce Meadows with her, and I can't recall his name. If you do not know her work, you should google her and check it out. Thanks in advance if some one resonds with the name.

Nice Art, I like the art of Diane Michelin. She is always at the Spruce Meadows Fly Fishing Show. Check out her site. I have several of her limited prints and original paintings. www.dianemichelin.com

I find it very hard to cast through that small whole, & even more so in the cold

We have been pretty lucky so far. I pray for the great CHINOOK and I'll be out there dodging ice. To the fellow with new all seasons, I too have new ones, but be cautious, as it is the all weather tires that are also classed as a winter tire. As much as I have new all seasons the titles are a little confusing and decieving. Drive safe and keep a close eye on all those goofs on the road.

To all the troops past and present, Thank You, and to my Dad Sidney, Thanks For Your Service in WW 2, 4 years anti aircraft in England. You always made me proud. He Loved to march to the pipes. Calgary Highlanders, & Canadian Infantry. We live the sweet life we do thanks to their sacrifice. I am off to the war museum later this aft. I am proud to say Dad is on the mural in the foyer. Forever Proud. God Bless PL

Hello fishers, I don't know if my timing sucked this year or what. It seemed like a year I have ever experienced, as far as getting blown off the water for rediculous winds, on a regular basis. I am not one to whine, but you hear me whining. I was still lucky enough to find some beauties, thank goodness. Oh I forgot to mention the cyclone. PL

I have no intention on using these to fish. I bought them as a small part of my antique fishing gear collection, and just trying to gather some info on them.

I have big action on a cone head copper leach, of which I do not have a picture for now.

I forgot to mention the Allcocks zenith leader is NO 113B 2 yd length 2 Ex loops, and the Allcocks marvel leader is No 8056 3 foot one ex loop reg tr mark # 425070

Hi Fellow fishers, I recently bought at a yard sale an antique tackle box. Several fly and spin items were in it. I am looking for some info on the items if anyone can help. I have 2 Zenith english gut leaders, still in the package, made by Allcocks of Reditch England. I also have a pack of Allcocks Marvel Leader NO 8056 single selected spanish gut leader in the pack.Also a variety of AA trout flies from redditch england. Any info would be appreciated. Going to hit the Bow tomorrow with my wife. Lookout fish here we come!!!
