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.

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.

That looks amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome!

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!

Herein lies my concerns. Why so many charges but so few convictions?

Confirmed! Years ago when I started fly fishing I had a baby duck chase my dry fly. I noticed so I pulled it away before he got it. A short time a few days after an adult duck actually took my dry. I wasn't expecting it but he spit it out easily. I once caught a rock. Landed it too. Felt like a fish the whole way cause it was wobbling and pulling in the current.

I've never had a problem with price matching but it seems much easier from the local shops. They seem more readily to match prices and I assume it's linked to have you as a return customer. The larger stores require a few more hoops but I've still never had any problems. If it's a large difference I save the headache from asking for price matching and simply go straight to the cheapest shop.
