Cheers BC, some helpful stuff there... now to find some open water...

Had a friend pick up the above mentioned line (s) for me. But I have a few questions; The Leaders that come in the "wallet" is there a way of telling them apart? I see no marking indicating what they do. I figure the black one are all fully sinking but at what rate? There are some colour coated ends on the lines, does orange connect to orange? There are 2 heads, I assume one is floating and the other sinking, is the by-colour one sinking? The box had no information inside, and the web has very little that is helpful at this point. I may just have to find a pond and bring a field book to make notes... Any advice is welcomed...

fish the pools below the falls. Olive or white bugger with a bead head should do the trick...

got the same rod on sale. going to set it up with the ultra spey kit from Airflow in 600g

September is a great time to fish that type of water. Things start to freeze up in the alpine an the water tends to clear up quite a bit. There will be hungry bull trout waiting for you...

One of my favourite areas to chase Cutty's and Bulls... http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/protection-for-castle-wilderness-area-to-be-expanded-1.3215448 Let's hope it happens.

Bought my last 2 subaru's from Dale at Subaru Calgary. I always go for last years model. We have an outback now and love it. The outback has a much nicer ride to it than the forester IMO. I prefer to drive it over my 4x4 Nissan frontier when the roads are snow covered. It can also go to 85% of the places I would take my 4x4 to go fishing...

Homage to the Cut's I luv... https://vimeo.com/120580222

Any issue with sleeping in the back of your truck at policeman's if you keep a low profile??

Chironomids eh? This shows how much I hate fishing nymphs... Thx Guys.

I was out fishing for Grayling today in a small lake today. There is still ice in the middle of the lake but I was fishing the edges. I could see lots of grayling but couldn't get any to go after any of the 1/2 dozen nymphs I presented. They would swim right up but give it a pass. Could not figure out what they where after. I tired the smallest tippet I had and still no luck. Anyone have experience with grayling on here that can share some advice? TY

@ Smitty, Any beta to offer the Swan R. or its tributaries? Cheers.

look on Kijiji, all the hipsters who got into cross-fit a few years ago must be ready to sell them off by now

Nice one Shaps! Good food for thought...

Hi Y'all, Came across this information while cruising a certain hunting site... New campaign slogan is a bit provocative and generating conversation. www.reportapoacher.com Would you get a T-shirt??

I say call the shop out here and now!

Hey, I was wondering if any of you might now how to back off the minimum drag setting on a east creek reel made by G Loomis. It's a 7-8 weight but when I crank the drag dial to it's lease amount it still has lot's of drag. Any one ever have a similar problem?

This what I have used for a long time... http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=9L93

Yup that is what I did today, real pain in the arse! I'd go back but I live in Canmore...

Ok I just got a reel and a spare spool set up at Wholesale. I told them I was a lefty but somehow we still managed to set it up (the Line and Backing) for a right hand retrieve. What would be the easiest way to fix this? Un-spool the whole rig and set it up in reverse? I was disappointed when I got to the river and found this, but landing my first brown on the lower bow at fish creek made up for it... Suggestion on how to fixed welcomed.

Thanks for all the info guys. Do any other reel maker apart from Snowbee and Hardy make these systems?

Hi, I was wondering if any of you have used either the Snowbee Cassette Reels or the Hardy Demon System. Seems like a good concept, having a few spools at low cost. I setting up a 7 weight and was thinking of maybe using this type of reel. Any pitfalls I should be aware of? Cheers!

On CBC today... http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/stor...led-untrue.html
