  1. my brother and I were fishing in Meadow Lake P.P and saw very few boatmen/backswimmers but the trout appeared to be going after them on the way back up.
  2. I call bs... he wasn't 'casting', he was trolling......

  9. ^ x3, plus and 8 weight can double as your 'pike'/laker rod up here
  10. I wonder if that was a 'non-native' deer ? If so, then it was good you whacked em...
  11. 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.
  12. I would gestimate there are approx 1500 chironies in there.
  13. almost spewed my coffee on my 'umputer... :lol:
  14. 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.
  15. Someone hasn't been flossing after meals.....
  16. I tried fishing for bones in Aruba. Not that Aruba is the bonefish capital of the carribbean, just that's where we vacationed so I brought along the rod. Though you can catch some there, I would opt for someplace different. Seychelles perhaps. I'm going to Maui next month, and that's not suppose to be much good for bones either. I did a bit of research prior to the trip and most people say between 7-9 weight rods. I split the middle and got an #8, which also doubles as my pike rod. Going through security at the airport, they opened up my travel rod case and inspected it, I was nervous it may be confiscated or even relegated to be checked baggage, which I likely wouldn't see it again if it was. They allowed me on plane with it and stored it in the overhead compartment. No other issues on the trip with the rod. Let us know how you make out.
  17. double posted, sorry about that
  18. 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 ?
  19. Buddy, that was a terrible drift, you're not gonna get any bites here I think.
  20. HTF, that is wickedly sick. You ARE the man. Thanks for sharing.
  21. was informed by my b.i.l who's a mechanic that AWD vehicles require approx 50% more maintenance. Something to think about.
  22. Happy birthday from your friends in the Peace country.
