An incredibly thoughtful response. Please read. http://flyfishalberta.com/jensenflyfishing/ram-river-a-response-to-the-angling-mgt-survey/

I posted this poll a couple years ago...I thought it was time to update the list and try it again. Islander & Pfleuger came 1-2 last time. I know I left out a few brands, but 20 choices should be enough for a lifetime. Full disclosure I voted Waterworks.

This weekend!!!

Red Deer Rod & Gun Show, May 7th-8th, 2011 at the Agri-trade Centre on the Westerner Fair Grounds. I will have a booth, selling tons of hunting, camping & fly fishing gear. A mix of old and new. Stop by and say hi. Cheers, NM

Is there a $5.00 coupon available for the Expo as in previous years?

Just wondering if anyone here ever pans for gold on fishing trips. I gather there isn't much to be found in Alberta. I hear the NSR has some gold dust in the gravel bars. I have some old pans of my father's, but never tried it out.

And I did...Just picked up a new 5wt 8'-6 mid flex. The price was a steal.

Riley, The Red Deer River is closed until the 3rd Friday of May.

I'm thinking about picking up one of these wicked sticks. Either the 4wt 8'-6 mid flex or the 6wt 9'-6 tip flex. Anyone have any reviews?

Thank you to the ones who have donated a few items. Additional thanks to Maxwell. Sorry I missed some of you at the show.

Thanks for all the offers guys. Much appreciated. Hello maxwell, I might be at the Expo on Friday, I will be the 6'-8 guy with the olive Whistler FF hat. keep in touch. Hello Bigbowtrout, The vest would be great. Will you be at the Expo? Hello Tungsten, murray & 126Barnes, I believe Alden did not have any tenant insurance. Hello Uberfly & Headscan, Alden had a 4wt Scott with a Lamson reel, an older 5wt Orvis with an LL Bean reel, and a 6wt Sage Z-Axis (690) w/ a Loop reel. Tough loss. We will keep a look out thanks. Hello eatsleepfishrepeat, Alden had 1 box of dries (parachute & grizzly adams, caddis, some green & brown drakes, flying ants etc) and 1 box of nymphs (bead head pheasant tails, prince nymphs, San Juan worms etc). Thank you for the offer.

Hello All, My buddy had all of his fly fishing gear ripped off from his truck over the Christmas holidays. He had a big bag with everything including 3 rods in it. He was new to the sport and I don't want him to give it up, because he really enjoyed himself on the water. I donated him my old 4wt, but he can't afford much more. If anyone has any old rods, reels, lines, flies, leaders, vests etc. you don't use it would be much appreciated. I can pick-up in Calgary or Edmonton. PM me if you would like. Thank you.
