  1. K-way makes good emergency rain jackets, it packs small and costs $14 at winners. Have three of them, camo, orange, and blue. They do get steamy in muggy weather, but so does a $150 rain jacket.
  2. Nice tie, I really like how colours blend together.
  3. Never used a spray, for grease I use tiemco on my cdc dries. Be careful not to rub off any close to your eyes. Your eyelids get swollen, resembling Peter Tosh
  4. Flyagra works, it does have a bit of smell to it sort of like kerosene. I use a stiff bristle paint brush instead of dunking flies right into solution.this way you are able to apply solution only to the wings without soaking entire body. One thing I noticed is it affects tippet material making it brittle. It does keep flies on top for long time if applied in advance. I guess it gets absorbed into natural materials instead of just being layered atop as a coating.
  5. Tough call for you dhx, but I would report it. Heck I reported my neighbor when he brought a mule deer with a white tail tag on it. He said he never noticed, I replied BS.
  6. Saw a burbot in fc park, half his head was covered in sapro . Almost stepped on him.
  7. my favorite dry flies
  8. I meant to say sea seaguar Abrazx, red label is good but is stretchy. Anyone use Stroft, the German brand?
  9. I like fluorocarbon as tippet when fishing certain dry flies. For nymph rigs 6lb seaguar red label fluorocarbon does all I need it to do. Hard to break off, minimal stretch and good knot strength. Bought berkley vanquish once and never again.
  10. attempt at a extended body stone.
  11. Is that a partridge hook, doctor? Do you purposely use a heavier hook? That is a great prince big foamy, that fly can be a real headache to get proportions in line.
  12. Did one of them have handlebar mustaches, if so, this group can also be found below Glenmore dam. 4 guys(late 20s) and sometimes kid in tow?
  13. Cliffs bellow 130th ave.
  14. These guys operate late at night.There are three different groups. One at Douglas Dale deer foot bridge, by pedestrian bridge and also below cliffs on 130th Avenue. Minnow tubs are always present at these locations.
  15. That looks awesome. Hoping for updates as you go along. Always wanted a swift blank in 4wt.
  16. Carburn park has been listed under bow river regulation since last big flood.
  17. What kind of glue are you using to build extended bodies, Doctor? Do you use under layer to wrap over,like swiss straw or similar?
  18. Some nymphs and emeregers.
  19. Few for the coming season Some caddis, mayflies... Btw, anyone have a good source for CDC or a brand they would reccomend. Stuff i'm finding in town is fairly bad, but good enough to do the trick.Trick is doubling up the feather count, stuff I see on some tube videos looks a lot richer in barb count.
  20. Mortadella with wings those are great in low light, nice tie doctor.
  21. When you wrap your thread on hook, add a thin strip of foam (length of hook shank), tie it on top. This will give you extra "bite" when you cinch down elk hair. You can also put 3-4 wraps of thread on elk hair (same spot where you would tie it onto hook), make it snug an as your pulling it tighter bring it to hook shank an tie it down. This will keep elk hair from spinning. Another good method is to put some dubbing prior to tying down elk. Instead of expensive hackle use CDC feather. Cut off barbs from stem, splice your thread and spin some cdc barbs than wrap it on collar instead of hackle. This will give your fly more appeal when fishing slower water an it also holds well in riffles.
  22. Looking good for a bunch of old guys!
  23. Merry Christmas to all!
