  1. You can pick it up at almost any flyshop in calgary.
  2. dont forget to say that the deer hit you.
  3. pick up the book BLUE RIBBON BOW.It should help you out alot.
  4. i bought my son a 4wt 7ft crosswater reddington combo for under a hundred and its a great liitle combo.its very light and casts really good.
  5. The one in cranston is the best.Its not that cheap but it is great.
  6. i didnt say that at all.i said i give everyone as much room as i can going up the bow which is alot more than i can say for alot of drift boats that go by you ten feet away while your fishing a run on foot.jet boats dont have the city fishing option.we have to fish the lower bow.
  7. Jet boats need to be kept on plane to run the shallows.its too hard on them to keep slowing down and speeding up for every boat on the bow.i try to keep as far as i can from smaller boats when running upriver.the best option is in city floats.
  8. Im the same way,backpack and no vest.I just step off the river and sit down to retie or change flies.
  9. i bought a ford ranger with 250k on it and drove it to 350k and it was running great when i sold it to buy another ranger.i never had to put a cent into that truck.that being said my uncle bought a diesel ford with 150k on it and the motor went at 170k so i guess you never know.being that you know the owner and the fact that he wasent hard on it and kept up maintence i wouldnt have a problem buying it.
  10. i used my wide bottom 12 ft jon on the bow all the time.nice and light to load.now i have a 14jon very wide but really heavy.i think the jons are great all around boats.
  11. you dont want a tethered jailbreak.it would be nothing but a hassel.the guy i sent you the # for does untethered jailbreaks,which means you can move it from tv to tv or restart it without hooking it back up to a computer.
  12. check out( Mrs browns boys) if you like comedy.
  13. beachcombers was boring but when you only had 2 channels to watch you were screwed.if any of you want all the old shows you need to get a jailbroken apple tv system.it cost $180 and has no monthy fees.you get pretty much every tv show and movie ever made.it streams in directly from the internet so its never supose to go down.i have been running it for about a month now and its all i watch.it is fully legal to have and run at this point but who knows what the future holds.
  14. i dropped my house phone altogether 2 years ago and now use only my cell.i get no more than 1 spam call a week on my cell where i was getting 5 to 10 a week on the house phone.the rate plans for the cells have come down alot and with the fav 5 you can call 5 numbers anywhere anytime for no charge.for me it was a solution.
  15. Yea i do the same for my wife.spin rod small nymphs and small indi.
  16. i have pictures of 2 moose there on different days.one bull and one cow.
  17. Maybe not, there are alot of people here who want to eliminate brook trout altogether.They are an evasive species eating the food the native trout need and dont usually grow all that big in the streams or brooks because of the over population. They are a very nice looking fish though.
  18. i know where he lives and im a multiple repeat customer and i have no idea which rivers or brooks hes talking about.
  19. I hit one 2 years ago.It was a mother and 2 fawns who never looked my way until it was too late.I hit the center fawn at about 60-70k down from 100 because i was hard on the brakes.I was lucky as far as truck damage but felt bad for the little deer.Like junior said it was best not to swerve but take the hit strait on.A big deer is going to do alot of damage no mater where it hits your truck.Good that nobody was hurt.Trucks can always be fixed but it still sucks.
  20. This is why i always jet upstream in case something happens, you can always drift back to your starting point.
  21. i dont know anything about the mystery but had the same experance with the fishing.some really nice holes but not a single fish.the only thing we could think for a reason was the freezing water being too cold to support a large insect population and the fish not staying there for lack of food.

  23. see if you can get Brian(Hawgstoppah).he is the original and probably the best walk and wade guy here.that might just be my opinion because i have used his services many times for different rivers and have learned alot every time.just send him a pm and he might have a free day.
  24. it was an offer i might have been interested in if i didnt already have a cheap source for quiltiy flies.not all low priced flies and garbage.i just order up 21 dozen for $93.this was from a seller on ebay that i have been buying from for quite awhile.i have a friend who has tied for over 40 years and gets me to order flies for him because he cant tie them for the price i buy them for.i just got a dozen triple decker hoppers for 4.79 and i have been using and catching fish on that pattern for the past 6 weeks.if you buy the patterns for our rivers you can catch fish with them.as far as cheap flies holding up,my buddy has now landed 15 fish above 16 inches here on the bow in the past 3 outings plus the ones he has lost all on the same fly.not the same pattern, the same fly.i posted a pic of one of his fish in the bow river section,a 24 inch brown with the fly in its mouth. out of those 21 dozen that i just ordered this week, 3 dozen were big rubber leg beadhead stones and 4 dozen were triple decker hoppers.where could i get them for that price in calgary or even get the tying materials for that price? so not all low priced flies are bad.
  25. its not hard to understand the regs,its just assholes who chose not to.if we all were like that that the river would be empty in less than a year.great that you called the RAP line.
