  19. Lakes are like rivers in that you can fish them in so many deferent ways and deferent times of the year can change what you do. Chironomids, streamers, nymphs and dry's can all work on a lake. Look at some of the Bullhead posts and some of the K lakes posts. http://flyfishcalgary.com/chironomids.php
  20. I had a monster Rainbow on in New Zealand and it took a very good run on me and eventually broke me off. Still to this day that fish haunts me and I keep running the whole scenario through my head asking what could I have done better to land that fish? I was so over hyped about New Zealand from all the books and magazines I was reading and looking at picture after picture of monster Browns I was starting to feel down that all I was catching was 18”to 20” Rainbows. As I was sitting having my lunch and looking around at the awesome scenery it clicked in my head that I was an idiot for not realizing how lucky I truly was to be standing where I was. After lunch it was missed fish after missed fish and the guide was getting a bit pissed at my nonchalant style of fishing. (I was just soaking in my surroundings and missing the odd strike) until I decided to get back into the game and that is when I hooked into the big one. It jumped, it ran, it came back at me and then it took off like a rocked down through some boulders and then it broke off. The guide saw it, my Girlfriends dad saw it and they both said it was a very large trout and bigger then any other caught that day. So just minutes before I was realizing just how lucky I was to be there and the next minute I was beside myself for losing the fish of a lifetime. I can’t explain why but all I know is that life is way to short and the next 10” trout you just land could be your last so just enjoy every trout you do catch and try to enjoy the ones you missed.
  21. I just was on and had no problem getting my license. I love the fact I can now get my license online and I can reprint as many copies as I need also it would help the shops out a lot if everyone bought online. I have gone to Hansons at lunch time and seen them try to process a bunch and most peaple did not have there WIN so they had to look those up and it just seemed to be a huge time waster for everyone.
  22. Lets start a FFC Ponzi. Everyone send me a dozen fly's and I promise to return 18 to you at the end of the year. http://www.drakemag.com/index.php?option=c...&Itemid=185 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/17/p...m_n_176087.html
