I use Photobucket. Upload your images to Photobucket then cut and paste the IMG link into your post.

I've never seen a Brook Trout in the upper Highwood. I've caught a few in some Beaver Ponds close to the Highwood but never in it. Cataract Creek above the falls has (had) Brooks, But I have yet to hit it post flood.

Looks like you're staying in the deep south. Two shops that are a must visit in that area are Country Pleasures and Fish Tales. For flys, if you hit up the mountain streams I like to have a good selection of terrestrials like ants,beatles and hoppers. Max will be able to give you the best names for patterns to use or you can check out the tying section of this forum. The "Cutty Hut" is in the middle of some if not the best mountian water we have. Well worth spending some time up in that area.

You can't go wrong with Max. Where are you guys staying?

His boots also like like Simms and not Orvis.

Super sad but one of the most classy posts I've ever seen on a forum.

Seems like some companys are pretty picky with who they have as Pro Staff. Hardy/Greys seems to like there pro staffers to be long time fly fishers and certified casters/instructors. Some other companys just seem to just hand em out to anyone. I would much rather spend my money on the stuff in the hands of the hardcore folk and not the social media stars or friends of friends.

Amen screaminreel. I found this write up http://midcurrent.com/experts/how-do-i-get-on-a-companys-pro-staff/ Explains it a lot better then NoSacs self entertainment posts.

I don't like posting other forum links but this one sheds a lot of light on your post BigFoamy http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/showthread.php?t=204620

Hello All, Happy New Year to everyone. Can someone please explain how a Pro Staffer is valuable/needed buy a company? I can see how a guide can push a product by having all their gear on his boat for the clients to use but I also notice a lot of "Pro Staff" that are not guides.

Unreal photos

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in the shop last week. Mike said he was in a rush to get the shop open and wanted to make the store just right and put the website off until things slowed down. Same with the grand opening. Once he has the site up and running he will post it.

Just saw this and thought I should share. http://www.groupon.com/deals/western-canadian-fly-fishing-exposition?p=1&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&sid=f047197b-d6e4-4e9c-b6fb-4a6d29d48596&division=calgary&user=070c72b9fef7dfd934b2dac7af35f77b9f30d61340a74a58f30889a16606a612&date=20131124&s=body&c=deal_title&d=deal-page&utm_campaign=western-canadian-fly-fishing-exposition
