Pretty sure they are re-branded SA lines (maybe seconds?) Colin

Nice Job!!

Definitely, but thats a whole other can of worms. No real opinion on Jets, lots of opinions on some guys who run them though. They do have their place on the river, just like the Lambo's and Ferrari's on Deerfoot. Colin

Check this out, plenty of colours out there, just have to be willing to look custom. colin

Hey Smitty, let me know what weights you might need and I'll see what I can come up with. Colin

http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?showtopic=17400 As well Courtney will be doing private lessons, 3hours $70 12-3 on the Sunday Apr. 29th. Contact him through Nile Creek Fly Shop Colin

Finger-less Fleece or wool with latex gloves underneath, dry hands are warm hands. Colin

I use the Pee Wee pops as well, although I just realized that I only have one left, Crap!! Mike do you guys have them in the shop? Colin

You can easily splice in the same guage wire to extend the cables, did it on my boat a few years ago. Princess auto has the wire as well as all the shrink tubing that you would need. Colin

Much lighter in hand, very quick response time, wanna give 'er a swing? let me know. Colin

PM sent. Colin

XSD's are great reels, unfortunately they are being discontinued, to be replaced by the Onyx, hopefully these will be available to us very shortly. Not sure what stock Courtney has in the shop but it might be worthwhile to give him a call if you are looking for a cheap, dependable reel. Colin

Not sure what the problem could be, can you tighten the drag all the way down and if so does the reel still 'free spool'. These reel do spin freely when no drag is applied, just wondering if by chance the drag knob is being turned un-noticed during your normal everyday operation of the reel (I've had it happen to me) as the star knob is quite large. If you are still having troubles, contact Courtney at The Nile Creek FlyShop it may be something he is familiar and can provide a solution.. Colin

Yup definitely, almost 50 hours, sorry Lornce. And I stand corrected, it was a 4wt (I had it lined with a 5wt XS-tra distance line). 5:30 was way too early this morning. Colin

You didn't look hard enough, or at least didn't ask the right guy Lornce, pretty sure we had a 5wt single and a switch at the booth, sweet rods!!. The 8wt single felt like a 5wt when I picked it up and their Switch rods were sweet little casting sticks.. Like Murray and Mike, I too grabbed a Prestige Switch (6wt), a 13'2 7wt Beulah Platinum Spey and a 10' 5wt Beulah Platinum Switch, a couple lines, new tying /reel bag and a few other nick nacks. Was definitely great seeing lots of old friends as well as making some new ones, only 362 more days til next years. Colin

looks like Hare'e Wiggle Dub, Country Pleasures carries it, or perhaps any other shop that carries the Hareline Dubbin products Colin

Thanks Hammie, need to use it at Spruce Meadows though, will be building the booth on site. Murray, PM sent. Thanks Guys Colin

as the title says, we are looking to borrow a mitre saw for a day (26th of Jan) for construction of our booth (Ogilvie Outfitters - Nile Creek Fly Shop). If anyone can lend us one it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Colin

FNG and fruinincalgary. Just name dropping Colin

And they seem to think they get them over and over and over and over again. One or two runs through the same stretch is great but after the 4th or 5th time through just because you hooked one fish, come on!! Sorry, my rant for the year. Colin

Always wear my Mustang inflatable life vest and for fins I use these http://www.flipfins.com/index.php?page=fin...oduct=navigator Colin

Nile Creek Fly Shop (sponsor here) carries Vision, had a chance to play with some of their rods and really like them, the Cult 2 handed rods are well put together and have a very 'custom' look to them, their glass rods would make really nice small stream rods too. Reels seem well designed and rate right up there with a lot of other reels. I'm really liking their clothing line as well although I think I may be a generation or 2 late to wear some of their clothing (I think the same thing about some of Loops stuff as well). Colin

I'm running the new Snowbee Prestige Switch line (300gr 5/6) on my 4/5 Beulah, lots of fun to cast, these are a great line for all switch rods. I believe Courtney (Islandguy) had a major role in designing these lines. If you want to give the 300gr a try on your rod shoot me a PM and we can arrange a time for you to borrow it. Colin

Never said 'crappy'. For me poor service can be a simple as lack of acknowledgement when I enter a shop, I don't expect the clerk to jump but at least a nod or 'hows it going' would suffice. And I agree with Lornce you do get what you give. Colin

None Taken, can't say that everyone I worked with pulled their weight and went out of their way to help folks, another reason I left. In all honesty though I've had poor service in almost every shop in the city, sometimes people just have an off day. Colin
