Bow Float Times And Distances
jasonvilly replied to sturgeonhound's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
Hehehe miles, my mind has no conception of what a mile is.... -
I think his actions warrant a call to the police...for the following reasons. 1) He did physically assault you, if he did it this time chances are he would do it again. What would be the outcome the next time in different circumstances. Someone older who falls or is seriously injured (not saying you aren't) He needs his eyes opened by the fuzz. 2) You say he almost collided with you. What if he did? What would have been the outcome then? Even at 30km/h hitting a power pole could have had drastic effects on you. Again he needs to be taught that this is not an appropriate response. Hopefully in the end he learns a valuable lesson.

This question reminds me a lot of the film I saw at Back Cast on the weekend...Rivers of the Lost Coast.... A very sad situation where a resource was exhausted to the point of extinction coupled with many different environmental factors (damming and irrigation) The areas the movie covered have not recovered and there is significant speculation that they will never be the way they were in the 50-70's let alone reach a suitable standard to make them quality fisheries. I am all for doing whatever it takes to help our rivers, but it needs to be done carefully and with some fore thought. Not, lets dump in some fertilizer in and see what happens. I would like to see a combination of the many ideas presented here with all the stakeholders involved (Biologist, SRD, users etc...) -regeneration of habitat -possible addition of fertilizer to increase diminishing biomass - and if it comes to it, no fish zones for a time to enhance these rivers

Wholesale Sports Edmonton
jasonvilly replied to Bigtoad's topic in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)
Maybe it is just this particular store in Edmonton.... Case in point every time I have gone into the fly shop at the Calgary location I have been asked if I need help (which I usually do). The last time in particular (Ken I believe) spent an hour with me helping me pick out a new rod and reel for Oahu and Steelheading. I thought he was extremely helpful and was very appreciative of his advice. So maybe it is just the management at this particular store which has let customer service standards slip. -

I recently picked up Netflix on my Ipad to watch some movies. Heck I thought $8 for unlimited movies sounded pretty good. So far I am not super impressed with their selection but, they do have quite a few older movies that I like. From what I hear when Netflix first launched in the States it was the same way and over time when more people subscribed they were able to offer more recent movies and a better selection. So I think I will keep with it for now. Anyhow I just thought I would start a thread to find out what other peoples favorite movies are.....maybe I am missing out on some gems. Also what are your favorite fly fishing films? Fishing Films - A River Runs through it. (not much fishing but the actual plot line is pretty good.) All time Favourites 1. Shawshank Redemption (epic movie) 2. Fifth Element (Favorite sci fi film) 3. Super Troopers (damn I still use the 1 liners from this one) 4. Shaun of the Dead (british humour at its best) 5. 300 (best graphic novel adaptation I have seen in awhile, you should read the graphic novel if you haven't) 6. Any Given Sunday (Al Pacino has the best speech ever in this movie, life is about inches) So many others but Ill stop here. And for FUN- Worst movies I have seen 1. Druids (Christopher Lambert should have never left the Highlander series 2. Battlefield Earth (my god this one was a stinker

Is it just me? But when I click on the link for part 2 it says video cannot be found. -
Tonight it will be a Rosemary and garlic infused steak with half a lobster tail at Blue house cafe. Too cold to cook for myself. By the way blue house cafe has some of the best argentinian sea food I have found. definitely worth checking out if your in the Calgary area.

Perch Culling Friday 9 Am To 3 Pm
jasonvilly replied to a topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
Is there a fee to get access to the lake? If I don't have an auger would there be holes there that I can punch out? -
My biggest pet peeve lately has been. 1) People parking in Handicap spots. Just recently I had a lady who is a paraplegic come and talk to my students. She talked about how difficult it is for her to get around in an able bodied world. She mentioned that when someone parks in these zones (even if it is only for five minutes...yeah right) it means that she has to go somewhere else where there isn't enough room or there are no sidewalk curb cutouts. This means that for her it would take her an extra 20-30 minutes to get into the where she needs to go or that she will just abandon the trip. Just yesterday I saw two examples of this behavior. It just sickenes me to see these lazy people park there without giving any thought to the people who truly need the spot. I have many other pet peeves but was wondering what some of yours are? My top 3 after the above 1) ticketmaster 2) impark 3) people at the gym who use 3 stations at a time and don't let you in.

Trivia Question Of The Week.
jasonvilly replied to flyfishy's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
E) An unintentional release of methane gas, if it is a female an entirely different accidental release of air. Cannot remember the name for that off hand. :$*%&: If not that then I would assume B as well. -
Check your PM, I am heading out Saturday if you would like to join.

Thanks so much Taco, now I am educated on the topic. Funny I was just reading about the Lahontan Cuttthroat, and the article answered many questions I have. -
