This is the most info I could find:
http://blog.fishtec.co.uk/airflo-ultraspey-fly-lines
"In the 9/10wt kit, the floating tip is 15ft long. The 8ips tip is 12 ft and the tips between are 14ft: ie, the faster the sink rate, the shorter the tip."
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...

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...

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?

@ Smitty, Any beta to offer the Swan R. or its tributaries?
Cheers.
Sean84:
I find your comment a tad...odd. I have fished this province from Peace River to Cardston. I'll just say you're missing out on a pretty part of AB. Hiking and fishing through northern, tea-stained, muskeg-laden boreal forest chasing Athabascan rainbows is...unique.
Anyways, the advice / offer / encouragement still stands.

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.
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?
-
-
Yup that is what I did today, real pain in the arse!
I'd go back but I live in Canmore...
I feel your pain. I am right hand retrieve too. Your other option is to start reeling with your right hand.A
-
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!
