I wish, went in at 6am and just got home now. Oh well a couple nice thick steaks and a few cold ones and all will be well. Colin

was out this afternoon casting a Snowbee 12 6/7, underhand casted an Elixir line beautifully as well casted a Snowbee Scandi line using a traditional casting stroke and it was a perfect match too. Was casting a Mach 2 salmon line (55ft head) on it last weekend and with a slight adjustment of the stroke I was able to get it out there. Guess the key is versatility of casting style to fit your set-up. Colin

Heres another You Tube video Colin

Why not, beer is involved so I'd be interested, might even get a couple flies tied. Colin

I will second those two recommendations, you might also want to check out these guys http://www.kingfisherrodbuildingandsupplies.com Dan Craft is a great resource as well although I'm not sure he will ship to Calgary, he prefers that you shop at Fishtales and order through tem. Colin

You can also get in touch with me and I can get some sent out here, I've got a 5wt you can try out if you want. Colin

Don, I take offense to this comment. Are you setting yourself above others all high and mighty? I'm a rod builder, I build rods not assemble them, just because I use pre-rolled blanks does not mean I'm less a craftsman than you. I take the time to form grips, turn reel seats, make winding checks and hook keepers, feather inlays, decorative wraps, ect. Good for you keeping an archaic form of rod building alive, but Ive seen the future and I'm comfortable where I am. Colin

The one I have is peach/salmon so quite visible. I would think the white line wouldn't be as visible to the fish looking up as say a florescent orange or yellow. Colin

Yup, I've got the 5wt Snowbee line, single hand spey casts real nice, would probably work well on that Sage. Colin

Had my car broken into twice in one week in Vancouver, hadn't even gotten around to replacing the window when they busted in the other one, damn crack heads!! Sucks about the house insurance deductible, too bad they didn't get your 8 other very high end fly rods with matching reels when they stole your truck. And the insurance companies wonder why theres so much insurance fraud. Colin

Guess you're not interested in the EMP function? Right now in Warshington DC theres some techno FBI weenie having a cow over this thread. Colin p.s. hope t have that quote to you by Thursday, just waiting on some pricing.

Very cool!! You sure like your glass rods don't you? Colin

Lucky B#stard!! Weekend is finally here and we're looking at a high of -24, but it will warm up on Monday . Good to here you got out Court. I know you were itchin to get on that stream. Send me the pics I can post them for you. Colin

Thats funny, I always thought it was just that the sheep were smaller

Nice!! Sure he fell off that one a few times on the Friday night, right Gordon? Colin

Hey Al good to finally meet you today, we'll have to get out soon, maybe a playdate for the little ones. Colin

I thought it had something to do with a miniature windmill Colin

Let the planning begin!! let me know what you need. Colin

Hey Lynn, I was the guy that sent you over there. Glad to hear you guys made it home safe, we were a little worried. Colin

Hey TM, I've got a couple old 9' IM6 blanks here with nice progressive action right to the butt that I think would make a nice small 3wt spey rod, might have to give it a try. Colin

I hope to have enough on hand here so that doesn't need to be the case, as well we hope to have a shop or two on board with Snowbee products this year. Colin

I have a 12' Snowbee Torridge 6/7/8 for us to play around with at the next spey beach gathering as well as a couple matching Scandinavian lines to go with it. Colin

Sorry its the XS-ED (extra distance) line. Colin

What did you think of that Snowbee XD line matched up with the Beulah 7wt? I was able to put it over the fence with one back cast, very sweet line. Should have taken the chance to cast the Sharkskin to see what all the hype is about, maybe tomorrow. Colin
