Got home from a awesome skunking after fighting with the wind all night and a new Rod.I was super frustrated so I threw the Rod in the back seat when I got home I took all my stuff in and my nippers where down stairs so I went to the old lady's makeup bag and she had these fancy nail clippers that are like pliers and kind of come to a "v"at the bottom of them man was I surprised they cut all the flies off like nothing and with the "v" part you can get right to the eye either hers are going to missing or I'm going to find them at shoppers.I wish I could post pics of them but I can't. she said they use them at the nail salon that's why she bought them and she said she paid 15 $ check them out if you can there awesome.just a FYI

Bow River Access In The City Of Calgary
Vitalshok replied to fishteck's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
Stupid lazy people drive out and leave there *hit everywear it's stupid and disrespectful to other river users.Now look what the bull did they tryed to block off everybody from using the ramp.If your that frigging lazy you can't walk 50 dam yards to the river then stay the hell on your couch and leave the outdoors to the respectful people who want to use it.I live in Lynwood and will call every single time I see a jack ass parked there it pisses me off.- 66 replies

Snooze it was boring.Same old same old maybe a couple more lady's but the same as every year the best part was leaving.They need way more exhibitors more stuff to look at ect the one isle on Thr north side you ask your self why you even walk down it.After further thought I guess everyone could have been still a sleep when we were there maybe there was some more hustle and bustle later in the morning but I still think they could use some more stuff and I actually wished the drift boats were at the back cause I want to get one this year assuming I still have a job. -

I had knee surgery last year just a minor surgery but my knee does not work as well bending and walking around the rocks.My question is what's the best bang for buck do you get a collapsible or just a old ski pole or a hiking pole.Is it worth carrying it around with you or is it just easier to struggle a little bit. Just looking for thoughts and opinions thanks everybody.

White Water Raft For Still Water?
Vitalshok replied to danhunt's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
No problem I'll give you a pm when I'm done just working on final angles for the rowing part.if you look on Kijji there's a zodiac with a rowing frame my designs a lot different but pretty close to the same I have a lots of extra zodiac material to mount the frame on as well if decide to build one.I should be done in the new year I'll pm you.O think I'm just going to rock guard the whole frame as well the put aluminum checker where ever possible to class it up.Its a 1978 zodiac believe it or not -
White Water Raft For Still Water?
Vitalshok replied to danhunt's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
If you can weld or or know a welder it's pretty easy to build a rowing frame for your zodiac as well. I'm just about complete and I'm at about 150 in total for mine at the very most I used electrical conduit as my main frame and there were about 6$ a peice and I bought two seats with swivels they were about 80 bucks for two just watch sales at bass pro and the casting bar was a little more money as its made out of aluminum.I can send you pics when I'm done and get a idea if that's something your interested in I call it the poor mans drift boat lol but it will do until this economy picks back up.Im a welder in the tanker industryl lol.If you do want to build one once you get a boat pm me I'll give you a hand or I can build one for you. -

Thoughts And Opinions For The Bow Reg Changes
Vitalshok replied to Vitalshok's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
Just a thought if the laws are and place along with the rap phone number and the possibility to collect video info on phones as evidence and proper warning signs of the laws at key locations and anglers all police other anglers and be vigil about it we can pick up the slack from the missing officers as best as possible I agree that there should be some sort of law or something protecting people who do take a guided trip so that both the angler and the guide are protected.The Main reason for this post was that we have such a amazing fisherie right out our back doors and after the epic hog wrestling the bow provided us in 2015 I think we should start being better protectors of what we have.I Just cringe every time I see a monster trout with six prongs stuck in his face from a rapala or a monster being bounced all over the rocks or just seeing a fish tied to a stringer.The bow is the most amazing river and I just feel it needs some protection from bad angling habits and agriculture etc.
