it makes you wonder wtf is going through someones head...

Thanks man, its an involved tie! Front legs are long but, I haven't cut them yet. Always do that last or at the water, you just never know.

Heres one with the legs attached. They're getting easier.

After a few attempts at the Hog Caller Hopper out of this months issue of NorthWest FlyFishing, this is what I've come up with. There are rubber legs to be attached at the end of the foam ones. Do it before yo attach the foam, I forgot on this one and its the only one that looks good so here it is. I suck at posts and grizzly hackle so have simpled it up a bit. May add some yarn for visual but, this is a big fly.

It was paths only because of all the rain. I hit every fairway that day and couldn't get close to my ball. There where no flat spots, I found getting around out there to be difficult. That said, I think it was in better shape than I had anticipated as I've heard its never in great shape because of where it is, besides how wet it was I thought the conditions where good. Greens are a little slow and grainy but, how often do you play somewhere with super great greens, you have to adjust. If i could've putted those greens I probably would've been right around par, couldn't sink a putt! Also got a game in at the Springs, what a great golf course. I hadn't played it in 16 years and it was better than ever. Didnt score as well, was 78 but, triple bogeyed 14 but the course is much more what i prefer. Awesome conditions, with great views and playability.

My sisters cabin is 5 minutes from there. Ive got access to 2 kayaks, 1 canoe and or a coleman row boat. They've got a 10 hp shakespere for it but, I haven't used the motor…yet!

In between the Bass I must have caught 100 of them, 1 of them was fairly large. Kept the kids catching and having fun.

Thats super sucky man the Bastards probably sit in the woods and wait for people to get in the water, at that point theres nothing you can do If I where 20 years younger I would go out there with friends and set up a sting, drop some people off, leave them in the woods. One guy pulls up and goes in the water, the rest sit and wait…with their baseball bats!

yep double info Anyways, it was a lot of fun. In between the Bass, the Northern Pike Minnows where always willing.

no experience at all, I've only ever seen it from two different golf courses and while driving by my sister has kayaked it and says theres fish in there but, I'm not sure if she's knows wtf she's talking about As previously stated, saw a guy a guy come out of there in his jet boat so i asked another guy what he would be catching down there, he said probably Bass and that theres Char as well. I would really like to get in there.

Love your stuff

I would love to hit that area downstream from the boat launch in Invermere, that spot between Invermere and Eagle Ranch Golf Course. Saw a guy come out of there in his jet boat and spoke to another. Apparently theres Char down there as well. If I wasn't with my wife and kids I would've offered the guy the 100$ I had in my wallet to take me in there for an hr or 2 probably wouldve resorted to begging.

Not to be a dick but, I have no idea where on that lake I was. Just down by my sisters cabin. I was told by two people the same spot so it must be good. I didn't have a motor on the boat so couldn't get there. Once I saw the bass by the dock, I went out on the row boat and could see them in the weeds and under docks so started fishing for them. My sister isn't in the shady brook camp ground but I was fishing kinda near there if you know where that is. the cabins down in that area, I dont know it very well.

The fight was good, the fish where heavy. I think they wouldve had more energy if it wasn't 37 degrees everyday. The size of the fish combined with weeds and big flies made the 5w not right for the job. That said I wasn't planning on getting into any bass/big bass! I will take the 6w and 8w next time. these fish do exactly what they do on tv, as soon as they're caught they go under the dock and wrap you up or head straight into the weeds, you need a heavy enough rod and leader to keep them out of that stuff once they're on.

Wasn't really thinking about fishing until I got there and walked out on the dock and looked into the water. Quickly went to Home Hardware in Invermere and bought everything big they had! Great fly section there, they even have materials for tying and a bins of flies for picking and packs of them. All I had was my 5W, when it was all said and done a 5W wasn't the right rod for the fish, weeds and flies. Anyways my first Bass ever, I had never even seen one in real life, was and still am totally stoked! Might go back and fish it again one day next week. Sisters place isn't being used till the 12th. 2nd 3rd Also got this little guy, sorry for the out of water pick but, Ive never seen a fish like this before. I guess its a Pumpkin Seed. Took the Wooly Worm, my daughter also caught one. I got broke off by 2 more Bass, one of them could've eaten every fish in these pictures. I was in shock for about 10 minutes afterwards. Then my son looks at me and says "aah dude, that was such a rookie mistake" needless to say he almost got thrown overboard... Also played GreyWolf for the first time. It was a week of firsts. Shot a birdie less 76, nice course but, I wouldn't want to play it all the time. Its way to extreme. Cart paths only was brutal. Played with a couple of members, the lady couldn't play after the 12th hole. Man that is one extreme golf course, it beats a lot of people up I'll bet. Anyways Ive seen it, I kicked its ass and probably wont go back. I like a flatter more user friendly course.

I agreed to not post on any of your threads anymore because you bug me and I have nothing productive to add, you should just do the same! little boys should grow up! your responses to me where nothing more negative shots. save it for someone else man!

Thanks to the guys that PM'd me (real men) that aren't f'ing goofs like Jayhad and Uberfly (how old r u two combined? I'm going to guess 12). My kids will appreciate your responses, I wish i could make you two understand how you come off on this website lol!! Hey Uber, Ive received a couple pms about you. I know you have zero self awareness but you need to get some. I'm trying to help you man! People talk about you behind your back, like your a big goof! Ive seen jayhad, he can't be helped lol! Its amazing that some people where born that ugly!

My mistake, I should've known better than to ask, pfffft! Im sure my kids and I will find a spot.

Forgot to mention, from shore Went to chestermere and threw a few casts with the pike rod last night.

thats un-nerving, knowing somones in the bushes living or watching or whatever!

Thats the best fly box of all time (SA right?). I have two of them, that one and the half size one. Water tight!

A couple of beauties there!!

Lol
