Hahah, what can I say??

I'll give it a cast when it comes in too.. If they can get something more comparable to the upper end rods I may be all in. My BVK is so clunky, heavy, and inaccurate compared to my high end baby.

Amazing work!

Just sharing in case anyone is interested.

Geez, I'll scour through my vet bills and try to send you a message. There have been 2 occasions that we've taken our dogs in and they urgently recommended a treatment before test results were in and the test results came back negative. So we paid for the treatment/surgery on misdiagnosed issues (because they were deemed urgent). Also, our last visit our dog came back to us with pretty bad bruising on an separate area that wasn't treated. Needless to say we didn't pay for that bill and won't be going back.

Hey guys, I live in South Calgary and I have a couple of dogs.. I'm looking to change vets because our current vet seems to over charge for a lot of services.. Any recommendations for a Vet in South Calgary? Steve

What a :$*%&: piece of :$*%&: :$*%&:

Well I'm not landing on your page of slow/medium action, but the Sage One is my 5wt dry rod and it's incredible. Light as a feather and toight like a tiger!

Beauts!

This is one of the best landscape shots I've seen in Alberta!

Nice desk, how much did that run you? I just picked up a desk off Kijiji for $20... A shelf for my whiskey was key

Nice Colin, looks like you guys had an awesome time with that pack!

Side note.. those bow river beavers are freakin aggresive this year!

Nice!

Awesome tip, thanks Mike

In the dispenser! not good! Much like me, my UV cure never sees sunlight lol

Thanks for the input guys. Sounds like lots of good memories from you dads! lol Yes, mine has a sun hood too, haven't convinced the boss to let me take him out on my back for some fishing yet! Cheers

HA! ridic

Thinking about it!

Had a chuckle on the sticky feet hah. Thanks for the help. Really just looking to get outside with him while mom is at work!

FYI.. this query is unrelated to my query in the BC reports

I picked up a Kelty Child carrying backpack for some light hikes with my son who is 1.5 years old. Quick question for any of you who have tried one of these child carriers. How long of a hike is too long for the little gaffers? Any tips for hiking with these carriers? Thanks!

Hey guys, I was having this issue too, and the tacky finish on my flies was collecting dust & dirt and making my UV wingcases and heads appear dusty and not clear.. I emailed Loon and this is the response I got. Murray those flies you tied me way back did have a really nice UV epoxy shell on them. I may have to try the UV clear cure as well! Hey Steve, There is a short answer to your question and a long answer. I'll start with the short answer in case you're not interested in the long one! The short answer: all UV resins are subject to remaining a little tacky due to the way that the resins interact with oxygen in the air. It's not an issue of light, amount of time exposed, or anything that you're doing... it's that darn oxygen. The quick fix is to cure your resins and then wipe them down with an alcohol swab. This will remove the uncured resin from the top of the applied resin and you'll have a tack-free fly. The long answer.... The science: The tack that you're experiencing is the result of "oxygen inhibition", which is a fancy way of saying that oxygen inhibits the outermost layer of applications of UV-curing resins to fully set up. In other words, the application should be cured all the way through, save that outermost layer that still feels tacky. If you picture a cross section of the resin, then imagine it curing from the inside out. The outermost layer, which is exposed to the ambient air, may remain tacky even though the rest of the applied resin is fully cured. The variables: Overcoming the effects of oxygen inhibition and producing a tack-free surface cure is dependent upon several factors, including: Heat generated by the UV curing system Intensity generated over the entire UV spectrum (200-420 nm) Exposure time The benefit: The tacky exterior provides a more suitable surface for bonding between subsequent layers. I hope that help Steve. Thanks for the email! Brett

Been trying to mimic an elk/deer hair mole crab pattern that I saw on google for my SoCal surf fishing trip...
