And tonight I'm forced to cheer for them :$*%&:

A few years back I bought a nice 3wt rod and the shop only had one 3wt reel and it was a nice reel but I never tested the whole set up I just bought it. Lesson learned as the reel was way to heavy and after letting this sweet little rod just sit without use for years I finally bought a much lighter reel and now it's my go to set up. Just that simple and no deep science for me. It was just all about how the set up felt for me and nothing else. http://www.flyfishohio.com/a_question_of_b...%20Part%202.htm

"If you’re looking for the perfect trout reel than you just found it. The 3 Plus is capable of running 3 through 5 weight lines with ample backing capacity for the occasional whopper that might come along. At first glance you’ll notice this aint no dainty trout reel. This little wonder means business." http://www.hatchoutdoors.com/reels1/3-plus

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!

I think fish4trout is Kyle's Brother????

I have yet to hear anything bad on the service end from this board and it looks like only a couple guys from the BC board are having problems? Maybe someone from the Army can chime in.

Birddog, I have the Amundson "Midge" 3-4 wt if you would like to take it for a spin just PM me.

Sorry for your loss

That's what She said

Amundson has a nice 3wt rod and the price is right. http://amundson.ca/flyfishing/Midge/midge.html

I hope it's a gooder.

Spring is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Roll up the rim starts tomorrow so look for the cup hatch in a parking lot near you.

GOLD

I hope you have a gooder

I can't enter but I will chuck a pic in for fun. This was taking on a beach in the North Island of New Zealand.

European Man Bag Pro Staffer Birchy I think Don needs a couple pro staffers to help sell that cane.

This has nothing to do with Canada or US Inner city gang stuff and this kind of crap has been going on forever. Jay did what most of us (and what I) would have done and that is he went out there and confronted these guys and even chased one down and caught him. Now let’s say that this happened at my dear old Aunt Carols house and she saw the same thing happen out front. I’m sure she would have stayed in the house and called the police thus saving herself a massive beat down and hopefully the police would have nabbed these guys. I’m glad he is Ok but is his buddy’s truck or stuff worth risking his life over? I don’t think so.
