  1. I would totally low hole him and poach any risers near him.
  2. Someone please set up a GoFundMe to save those poor flying fish.
  3. I use my GoPro mostly as a camera when fishing. the one thing I have for it is the "floaty" back case. This way if I drop it I can watch it float away.
  4. Uber's name is all screwed up HAHAHA ÃœberFly I'll need to do some digging on how to fix it. (Or maybe let him loose his mind for a bit longer)
  5. Iron Bow has Fish Pond as well. I use an older Orvis Safe Passage pack and I keep a MEC dry bag on the inside for my DSLR. Also look at the Orvis Gale Force.
  6. Awesome Rainbow!!! Love that area!!
  7. He removed his Alberta ad but still has his BC ad up. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-fishing-camping-outdoor/kelowna/visions-fly-fishing-gear-huge-discount-need-gone-asap/1199132029?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
  8. Look for one with water/heat/cold sensors if you're going to be away from the property for any length of time.
  9. He also advertised and hash tagged that he was a rep or sponsored by Salt Life Optics Rep Your Water Blackstrap Ind
  10. Awesome!! Sounds like a blast and I can fill you in on some North Island fishing but for anything on the South then Dave would be a good resource. Also join the NZ forum http://www.flyfishingforum.co.nz/ For the north island Taupo is where you want to be or in Turangi. Both towns are trout crazy. Trout on signs, streets and just about everywhere. I've fished the Tongariro and caught a few nice lake run trout. Super nice river steeped in history. If you stay in Turangi you can stay and just walk to the river. Lots of accommodations close to the river. But so far my favorite are the smaller creeks that are between Turangi and Taupo. The Waitahanui is a beauty of a river, this is the river I caught my monster brown on(30"), it's just one sweet pool after another.You can also fish the mouth of this river shoulder to shoulder with all the others as the fish leave the lake to go upstream. Super cool to see super large fish swim by as pumice stones float past. The Hinemaiaia is another stunner of a river with lots of great holding water. Both these streams are easy to walk with great trails. I would recommend fishing on the weekdays and site see on the weekend. If you need more detailed info drop me a pm.
  11. Are you guys washing your boats close to the water you just fished? or driving home and washing it at home? If you rince at home (Calgary and area) the water goes untreated into the Bow. Tungsten has the right idea, at least that water gets treated.

  13. Lots of issues with this guy in the Cochrane area. He started out strong by offering fly tying nights in a local pub, river clean-ups etc. And was promoting very well in the local markets and fairs. But offering $130-$150 full day walk n wades didn’t pass my smell test. Now he is just proving that my gut was right about him and the way he runs a “business”. And if for some reason he has a legit reason then he really needs to work on his communication skills. Most people are understanding if giving the option the be.
  14. Kenny is too far right, same with the WR. Strengthen the centre and lets get on with this.
