Great looking Bully's fella's...

Happy Birthday Tiana...

Bow River Aquatic Worm...

Nice tie Conor and thanks for posting it...Your fly is also a good nymph immitation of spring/summer stoneflys from the Isoperla genus. Especailly if it were tied in a size #10-#12.

Now for the useful fishing information you asked for.
Attention all fly fishermen and women! Here is some useful fishing information, please take note.
Get a pen and write this down.
Here it is:
Real fly fishers only use one fly.
The best advice I ever gave someone: Never use more than one fly.

Happy birthday Lynn... Have a great day...

I did look at your posts (orvisonly). Think you may post a fishing post or maybe some useful information anytime soon?
It's not likely rickr...seems these kind of flyfishers (orvisonly, aka OO, pronounced... oh-oh...which I think means hello...)
tend to compensate for their lack of real fishing skills, with cheap shots to take the focus off of the real problem...
Their insecurity... Yep, a classic case.
Thing is... we should feel sorry for him (oh-oh.)...Cause that's the kind of reasonable guys we all are round' here...
After all, he only knows how to fish with one fly and then claims to be a traditionalist to cover up his short comings...
Sad really... when you think about it...

That's funny stuff, orvisonly...

Hey Gordon,
What's up with putting a line with a 110' belly, on that B&W Norway 10150 and not warning me?...C'mon man, that is one heck of a long line to cast on a 15' rod. Of course, I was able to get the whole line out there, but what a surprise when I first tried to lift it out of the water for a single spey cast and my anchor landed 30' downstream!!!..... Yikes! I've been set up!
I bet you were having a good chuckle watching me struggle with those first few casts...

There are lots of black bears and a few Cougars, spotted along the Bow each season, often right in the city. The CO's down in Fish Creek, were trying to run off a black bear last Tuesday evening (chuckin' rocks at it). I was tempted to pull over and ask him if I could join him for some fun. I don't really like black bears very much and any opportunity to put the rocks to one, is always fun. When I was younger, we used to park at the local landfill (dump) in the late evenings and sit quietly in the truck with the engine and lights off. Then, shortly after dark, we'd turn the highbeams on too see if any bears had shown up to dig in the trash. Then, (while trying not to spill your beer), we'd jump out and put the rocks to em'...man that used to be fun...
F'in black bears...

If a flyfisher is skilled in all tactics AND they have mastered the art of the long rod as well, then they are "SUPERIOR" flyfisherman...once again, like me.
-
One thing I have noticed about the "traditionalist" crowd, is they usually suck as modern flyfisherman. A "real" flyfisher in this day and age, is one who is skilled in all flyfishing tactics...like me.

Great pics... I can see that you've had another great season...Thanks for the post!

Female adult Stoneflys, are often refered to as a Skid Bitch. It is a reference to the way that females of some species, will skid across the surface of the water, sometimes on egg laying runs, ovidepositing their egg clusters. Bitch refers to gender.
One of my favorites...Barretts Golden Stone w/barred legs.

The problem is when someone is more concerned with proving himself to be the greatest angler in calgary, then making money for charity. Suddenly the whole idea of charity is out the window, and it's a horn blowing competition and people won't be having fun (or will cheat, to make it seem like they're superior to everyone else). For example, see the fourth post on this thread, how a charity event turns into "I will WIN it". I'm sure it's on the minds of many, that this angler has an intention to win, whether being honest or not.Other then that, i'm sure i could make a team of guys that will have fun, and catch a lot of fish
Yeah right....
You're talking crap pal...You might want to watch that loud mouth of yours...It has definetly crossed the line.

The regs say that all anglers must carry their licenses (plural), at all times. It might mean that both your WIN card and Fishing License, together, are your licenses. Another grey area in the regs that needs clarification.
-
How about, everyone puts there own team together consisiting of four anglers. Count points by the inch...one point per inch, with only trout over 10" counting. Whities, suckers etc. don't count for any points. 5 Bonus points for +20" and 10 Bonus points for +24".
Prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams...Prizes for biggest Rainbow, biggest Brown and individual Champion flyfisher with the most points.

Great pic, Bryce...Really like the unique color cast of the night sky.

Dodger is an awesome guy, always willing to help his community...I'll ring him up and see if he's up for another beatin'...

Great idea Brett...My thoughts...
1. I'm in... and will win the FF Championship...Team members tba...
2. I nominate Brett to be in charge of organizing all of the details...(All in favor...)
3. Of course it is the best way to prove who the best angler's are...what other way is there?
ps. Brett, you're on my team...right?

Anyone look at the J-hook nymphing technique. May try that this evening.
This technique adds motion to the fly, but it's important that your flys represent a species of swimming nymph/emerger, such as Baetis, Mahogany Duns, Caddis emergers, ect. Then, it makes sense to swim your presentation like the natural nymphs/emergers you are trying to immitate.

I like using a Uni-knot/Speed knail knot, instead of traditional nail knots. The Uni-knot is perfect for attaching mono running lines to heads, leaders to the front end of the fly line and even making folded loops. You can also use the Double Uni-knot to replace Surgeons loops when joining tippets together. It is a much stronger knot than the Surgeons loop. IMO

Well, I've listened to all sides and I've seen the light...I will now only fish with one fly...a dry...well, maybe I'll let it sink a bit.
