  1. Yes, I've seen it at fishing stores, Canadian Tire, and grocery stores.
  2. CP has them on their online store. Even Troutfitters website is gone now, so don't waste the gas to make a trip down there.
  3. Unfortunately, probably is true. Also unfortunately, a Darwin award was not handed out.

  5. I've found the tungsten soft sheets (rubberized material) at The Fishin Hole, but its a bit tricky to work with, because if you use too much tension on your thread you'll just end up cutting through the sheet.
  6. I've been on their "mailing list" for a few months now, and have only received one email - about customer appreciation day. It's not like you're getting spam from 2500 different addresses or won't be taken off if you ask Dave or Nancy nicely.
  7. Time for our April or May 20 cm dump of snow....any time now.....
  8. You might try putting a drop on the back of the bead and letting it flow down the bead and in.

    Goodbye

    Very sorry for your loss Gary.
  10. I'd be up for it!
  11. This would be a great opportunity - let us know when you have the details.
  12. It's also illegal to buy, sell, or trade them without a license, so if they did it this would also be an offence if they were paid to do it and didn't have the commercial license to do so.
  13. Almost looks like Rickr in one of the interviews!
  14. Happy b-day! You could always take up windsurfing.
  15. I got em at Wholesale too. The razor slit looks sleeker, but i wonder if losing the silver tinsel on the bottom would make a difference? Can't find it now, but a pic I saw of one swimming really did look like it had a silver shine on the bottom. I guess I could always cut and glue to attach some.
  16. They'll still float - these were meant to be used during a backswimmer fall, but could also be used with a sinking or sink tip line.
  17. Got caught without any backswimmer patterns during mating season last fall, so I decided to tie up a few foam ones. Got the idea from http://www.westernsportfishing.ca/flyofmonth.htm but I didn't find any sheet foam in the color I needed; Fortunately I found some pre shaped bodies that were exactly what I needed. Since it was preshaped foam, I found the easiest way to get it on the hook was zap a gap. The underbody is holographic silver tinsel, and the entire thing is coated in shiny head cement (Hard as Nails) to give it a nice shine. The foam would also be handy if you need to use markers to imitate the natural while out on the water. These are size 10, but there are smaller sizes of foam available.
  18. Not online, but I think you should be able to in the stores if not now then soon.
  19. Happy birthday! Wish it coulda been better weather for ya though.
  20. Kids these days. If I would have said that at that age my ass would definitely receive a kicking and it'd be awhile before I got the taste of soap outta my mouth!
  21. Happy bday! On the plus side, it looks like you're going to beat Clive to the free fishing!
