Thanks for the reviews guys. I did buy an Opti Stream from eBay but it was a bum listing as the seller said they were out of stock. I got PO so I went and did a little more research and broke down and bought a Hardy Zenith. Casted it in the parking lot of the fly shop AND ohhh my... What a beautiful effortless casting rod!! Stay tuned for a more detailed review when I get a reel and line for it. I'm giddy!!

Been looking to add a med/fast action 5 wt to the collection and wanted to know if anybody is able to give a review on the Loop Opti Stream rod? Or suggest something similar. Not ready to spend $700 on a rod yet. More in the $300-400 range. Thanks.

Thanks for the info Wayne. Do they sell this in Calgary or Edmonton anywhere?

Was thinking of buying a pontoon boat but I don't drive a pickup or an suv. My trunk is pretty big though for a smaller sedan. It'll fit 4-5 dead bodies . I was wondering if the frame of a personal pontoon boat would fit in the trunk?

Does anybody know regs about being able to fish on native land. More specifically around the Redwood Meadows/Bragg Creek area?

Yup. Just got the email today. Thanks all.

I purchased a ticket off the WCFFE website, which redirected me to the flyfusionmag.com site and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to receive a ticket in the mail or just show up and they'll have a ticket for me. Anyone else have the same issue?

Count me in. Thanks.

I forgot to mention that there are some buck tails in the mix. I think that's the source of the smell. Everything was stored in an old briefcase for a lot of years in a garage and I imagine it permiated into all the feathers, hackle, and even the cardboard backing of some old tinsel from Woodwards if anybody remembers that. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

I just inherited a bunch of fly tying material thats been sittng around for over 8 years. Going through it I noticed the deer/elk/rabbit fur has a funky smell. Does it goo bad? Can it collect little bugs? Is there a way to reprocess/retreat it?

What's the best way to fix a nasty nick in a fly line? I've heard tying a nail knot around it and using zapagap to using flex- zap, which by the way is hard to find in Calgary. Suggestions?
