I believe that Harrison Ford - ala Star Wars/Indiana Jones fame also fly-fishes.

^ x3, plus and 8 weight can double as your 'pike'/laker rod up here

I wonder if that was a 'non-native' deer ? If so, then it was good you whacked em...

These gel cell batteries are tiny 3"x2"x2", barely bigger than a pack of cigarettes, and they're rechargable and cost <$20 each. Just stuff one in your sidebag and forgetaboutit they should last you 8 hrs or so on a single charge.

I would gestimate there are approx 1500 chironies in there.

NOICE....

uphold, duh !!

almost spewed my coffee on my 'umputer... :lol:

I’ll start off by saying that I can sympathise with the author’s post and agree with much of it. However, in my business, we are an ‘End Service Provider’ (manufacturer if you will) and we have ‘suppliers’ (fly shops if you will) and we support those ‘suppliers’ by giving them volume/preferred discounts. However, we do not refuse those customers (public if you will) who want to do direct business with us but we do not provide the same price direct to the customer as we do to the suppliers, it is typically +10% to 20% more than the 'suppliers' price. So a Customer can deal direct from me or from the supplier, who by the time adds his markup, is at least equal to my direct price, but is often even higher. The ‘Supplier’ can justify his increased price based on value added services he can offer, which I cannot. This may suit most customers, but not all. Let’s use ‘car buying’ as an example. If Customer A wants to buy a car through the ‘dealer’ because he wants to also buy an extended warranty, undercoating, accessories, etc, and wants/needs to work through the dealer, then he should. BUT, if Customer B, doesn’t need all that crap, and wants to buy direct from the manufacturer for a price which may/may not be competitive with the dealer, then he should have that choice. b.t.w, I don’t shop at Walmart, Costco, Cabelas and refrain from shopping at other Gorillas.

Someone hasn't been flossing after meals.....

double posted, sorry about that

your wheel diameter is 3" bigger, not the radius (I've yet to see 40" diameter wheels) assuming the same size sidewall, then the distance from the axle to the ground will actually be only 1.5 inches more. N'est pas ?

Buddy, that was a terrible drift, you're not gonna get any bites here I think.

HTF, that is wickedly sick. You ARE the man. Thanks for sharing.

was informed by my b.i.l who's a mechanic that AWD vehicles require approx 50% more maintenance. Something to think about.

Happy birthday from your friends in the Peace country.

Nothin like updating your facebook status with "catchin a bucketful of fish",,,,,jk, I don't even have a facebook/twitter/social media account. I usually don't have it with me on the 'friggin lakes', but today was an exception. Amen.

Over the weekend I also accidentally dropped by Blackberry (Torch) into the water for an approx 10 second soak. Dried it out via the vehicle heater/ holding it out the sunroof whilst driving home, and placed in a baggie with rice overnight. 1.5 days later, shoved my wife's battery in it and it works fine. Even tried my own battery in it and it works fine. Don't even have any condensation in the screen. Warranty is likely void though as the little litmus paper thingies on the battery and the unit have turned a nice shade of red.

yeah, and Calgary too.

Happy Birthday LE, Get the heck out there and fish on you BD.
