I shot you a pm.

SilverDoctor beat me to it.

Can o'beans and a pound of bacon. Best shore lunch ever.

Birchy are you even working? Agreed. Let's all be safe.

Took the words out of my mouth.

MAN that's where I left my towel! JK wasn't me. Great post, sounds like a blast. Congrats on your first cutty! Did you get the instant addiction?

Cast them both. Pick the one that feels best and suits your needs. What feels good to me may not be what's good for you. I'm sure others will agree. As for reels I have Lamson and Ross reels and both give me no issues, it's a coin toss as far as performance. You'll find the same for reels, a lot of great reels out there that are awesome performers but the final decision will be based on what looks good to you. This probably doesn't help you much but a lot of decisions are personal preference, ESPECIALLY rods.

It's the rod I use the most. Awesome stick!

That looks amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome!

Banning anything doesn't solve any problems. Education is key. Think about it for a second, people still use barbed hooks, bait where there are bait bans, fish on closed waters, etc. There are laws and regulations against these things yet they still happen. Perhaps fishing should be banned? NOPE! Education and enforcement is what is needed. Sure it may help reduce the number of treble hooks out there but it won't stop them from being used. Perhaps the regulations should include something about the use of treble hooks i.e. when and where to use. I agree that BC restricting treble hooks from streams has some merit. Also remember there are other methods of fishing other than fly fishing and other places to fish other than streams. To ban treble hooks entirely doesn't work, after all treble hooks have their place just maybe not on streams.

Yeah same assumption.

A bit off topic but keeping a fish on the Bow is not always illegal. But what I would like to ask you is for your honest opinion about your observations of kept fish from the Bow. Please PM me dutchie. I sent a pm to you but please open it, it's not rude or anything.

That guy is creeeepy! I think he saw his brother.

The last few weeks I've not been feeling the greatest so I've been watching some fishing videos. With this rain I have been too, helps keep me sane since I can't actually fish. Anyway thought it would be interesting to know what other like to watch. My favorites are: A Passion for Angling Series - I highly recommend this one - old but filled with good humor - it's from the UK Underwater World of Trout Can't wait for clear streams!
