Pretty beautiful spot. Acreages are nice but this one is "special".

[Reel Seats]

Uplocking or downlocking ?

 

Thought i would ask as i myself really like a down locking reel seat. They do not seem very popular and i wonder why ? Unless you are looking at high end bamboo rods all the mass manufactured rods have up lockers from what i have noticed. I will ask this- when you are in the market for a new flyrod is it a consideration ? There are also dual ring reel seats that actually make sense for finding the best balance in a flyrod. All reels do weigh a bit differently so i would think to get the best "feel" reel seats would be an important feature. There are endless amounts of discussion on the action, length, weight of flyrods but the seats..... why not ? If you build your own rod the seat of the rod is a major consideration but with mass manufactured rods like sage for instance it does not seem to be a concern to the masses who buy them. I do not think they make one but i may be wrong. To myself everything behind the reel is extra weight just looking to get in the way but..... i do own a few.

[Help Finding Lost Equipment?]

I was fishing the Crowsnest on Thursday. I lost my footing in the current and went for quite the ride, losing my vest and rod. Vic Bergman advised me to post a a notice on this site. There is no ID in it since I am a senior so I don't need a license, but I could ID all the contents. I know that anyone returning it would not be doing it for reward, but I'd be glad to pay any expenses or whatever. Thank you so much for any help in this.

 

Where did you tip over ? I live down here and i could look for it.

[Land Title Search/research]

Interesting thread for sure. I am down in the pass and there is a a couple of people who are on the river and seem to live for conflict. I have never understood the animosity toward fisherman. Most fisherman/woman are very respectful of everyones property and are very friendly etc. and just want to fish- in peace. One individual has gone to the extent of giving me crap for not having "no trespassing" signs up or leaving agate open for access. We are not at all friends over this kind of behavior and this individual enjoys nothing more than berating fisherman for stepping on his land. To "even it up" i go the other way and tell the ones i run into to camp there if you want. The bad reflection on fisher people is the litter that accumulates where vehicles are parked as guys go fishing. I do also realize it is the exception rather than the rule as most people are very responsible in this regard. At the same time it is the only real point the neighbour has.
