  1. what do you guys use to store your hackle? Mine is just stacked ontop of each other but i would love to do a spin rack so the feathers hang and dont get munched

     

    Ive got quite a few bucks invested in expensive hackle, so proper storage is definitely a consideration. When not in use, I keep mine inside a rubbermaid container. It keeps the pets out of them, and also helps to deter any bugs from taking up residence in the capes and saddles themselves.

  2. I really like that Muskrat fly you were using, it looks incredibly realistic on the water. Apparently the fish thought so too!? ;)

    Great pictures GrnDrake, thanks for sharing them!

  3. Hey Skyangler, nice pic on your profile/display. Have that old article at my Cabin. Gets the juices flowing everytime to look at those pics. What's his name... Del Canty? That article I have with that exact pic must be 40 years old. haha

     

    Nick

     

     

    You are correct Nick..thats Del Canty alright. A fine fisherman, and a man ahead of his time. :)

    Was the article you are referring to in Outdoor Life magazine by chance? If so, it would be roughly 20 years ago, or perhaps a bit longer.

  4. Ive had similar experiences on several occasions. Years ago I even had a large bull trout try to steal a Grayling right off a stringer in some skinny water right close to shore. They are real predators to be certain.

     

    Heres an interesting pictorial of just such an encounter with a Bull Trout by Dave Lewis. A big fish story

  5. McRib and a shamrock shake...without a doubt!

     

    Back when I was still a kid, I was given a box containing well over a thousand of their coupons by a relative whose husband was a general manager at Mcdonalds at the time.

    Royale with Cheese, Big Macs and fries, shakes..all sorts of goodies, and all free.

    I would carry a big handful in my school pack, and many a trip to Rotten Ronnies for my friends and I were afforded as a result.

    Perhaps it was too much of a good? thing, but it did me in eating their burgers. I havent ate a Mcdonalds hamburger since 1985.

    I still go there on occasion, but their burgers are off the menu for me.

     

    LOL...watching "Supersize me" probably only helped to reaffirm my decision to abstain.

     

    And now that lovely photo of the McRib that Weedy1 posted. Mmmm Mmm!

     

    Bon Appetit everyone!

     

  6. Hey Tungsten,

     

    You might want to check out Micheals. They have the best selection of markers(sharpie, prismacolor,etc) Ive managed to locate in Calgary. They also have quite a few other items of interest to the fly tier as well.
