Where exactly are you going? bait fish imitations are the go to for any saltwater situation. I have a couple patterns on my blog

-
awesome and so true, thanks don

My tying stuff was actually an early Christmas present too. I went to the fly shop and got a solid vice (Dyna-king kingfisher) along with some basic tools and just the materials I needed to tie the flies I wanted to start with. I am really happy I went this way as opposed to a cheap kit that has a bunch of stuff I may not use.
JerryN, just like he said, a starter kit is full of some crap you may never use. Solid Vise, Solid tools, and just look up the flies for the rivers that he might fish and get fly specific materials, alot of the materials cross over from fly to fly. im sure your end up happier this way

love Fat Alberts, go to fly for NZ Browns!
-
razor blade is best, i've used both the straight and flexible kind for mine but am by no reach an expert but im super happy with mine
-
policemans has winter honey holes everywhere that i was able to scout this past season, I do fear for one spot inparticular where the water goes from bank to 10 feet deep in one step. Please be careful out there!

congrats I became a father last month! its crazy!

I really appreciate the feedback! i know there is a couple styles of sex dungeon ties, ive seen rabbit over hackle and just hackle(galloup style). Jayhad, when you say yellow/olive is this reffering to a rabbit/hackle tie or is it a head/body color. which style do you prefer to tie? any further clarification would be appreciated.

For the bow...
Black over purple, Yellow, White, Orange/brown. Oddly enough, never had much luck with olive.
Sex dungeons are too small for bull trout.
ive caught many a bull trout on double bunnys and buggers smaller then sex dungeons but thank you for your bow colors,
-
recently been into tying articulated flies, wondering what color of sex dungeons you have found to be most effective on the bow and for bully's. My Guess would be Olive, any other colors?

Was just kidding on the "are you new" comment
anyways its all good, every now and then I need a friendly reminder.i know foamy:) I was being sarcastic, it can be lost sometime in text. Fish Tales for the win, although i have had nothing but good experiences the few times I have been to Iron Bow

Im not new here mon frere (thats french for brother) i would name names. Ive had mixed experiences at Wholesale myself, most of the time I dont care to even talk to the staff because I go in there knowing what material im looking for. I owned a retail/service store for 8 years and loved nothing more then to hear about all experiences good and bad to improve my business. I never directly addressed specific events but made sure to make a note of discussing good practices to avoid situations that I had had relayed to me.

not a bad piece of media for once. Jim Stelfox retired?! who is going to run the stewardship program?
-
i don't understand why you wouldn't name a store where a bad experience occurred. do everyone a favor and tell us where not to waste our time. I for one will be the first to report a bad experience, its empowering as a consumer and can only lead to better service in the future. I want to know who to support and who has not earned it.

I scouted a couple deep holes around policemans this summer, like d rock said, new deep holes everywhere below Harvie
-
Thanks don, you just answered my questions before i asked them!
-

-

dont get me wrong, i love the southwest, and have spent a good number of years exploring its scenery and amazing fishing opportunities. but this year ive focused on central alberta, fishing spring creeks, prairie creeks and have been rewarded with good fishing and different scenery. I encourage others to give it a try. Its different with its flat water and "ninja" fishing that is required to sneak up on weary browns and skiddish brookies. If your planning on giving it a try watch the weather like crazy, these creeks are much more susceptible to discoloration with a little rain. Shorter rods fare very well when willows and overgrowth are hugging the banks. Hella fun and challenging!
Cheers

all depends on what your after, roosters, bull dorado, wahoo, sierra, marlin, tuna, giant travelle, jack's, tarpon. I can give you insight if your looking for big game. As for flat fishing for bones, not too sure.
