Skwala stoneflies have been active lately.

I checked around when looking for a prescription pair but they all get ordered from the same place. I did find a small discount due to a sale at the time at Iris, so check around.

Happy Birthday!

Make sure your hooks are sharp.

They tend to congregate, so when you find one you find many - a couple weeks ago down by Policeman's Flats it's all I caught in one hole.

Great to see something closer to home! Jim Stelfox was showing off the data collected during their written and oral surveys at the Hook and Hackle open house - the more information the better so please take the time to fill out the creel survey cards and note your opinion on the new regulations, because like Police Outpost, there is going to be some opposition.

Try calling the CO's in your area.

10' 4wt Dancraft I built with a compact scandi or 6 wt line on it. The extra length really helps.

Haven't used it but it's free: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essen...ker-get-started

I got an email from them that says to print out your confirmation email and bring it to the show.

I have used a plastic adhesive from Lepage that I found at Canadian Tire. Just make sure that the core isn't damaged or wet before applying.

Rod weight is going to vary depending on what you're casting and how you are fishing (dry vs. tossing a small chicken), and the length can depend on the size of the river you're fishing. Try everything before buying, but take lessons first to find out the rod action and style that you'll want to cast. No point in buying a $1,000 setup just to find out it doesn't suit you.

If tungsten beads and yak hair are the next fads, we'll know a supplier has been behind the whole thing from Day 1.

Some of the guides at Alaska West have their chinook setups on this blog: http://www.deneki.com/2009/01/king-rig-roundup/

Nice fish, and what looks like a really nice hike in!

Great pics, but I'd be on the helicopter if I wanted to visit!

For cutties caddis emerger patterns were working great back in June when they were rising, along with small mayfly nymphs.

Memory Express or any other store that assembles computers on site will probably have some to give away.

15" is the typical size for a budget laptop nowadays - and the screen specs don't vary much. AMD has a nicer processor out for the smaller laptops that does video and graphics well, but you will get more bang for your buck with an Intel processor if you're doing work in Excel. You can usually find a laptop on sale for $500 that has an Intel Core i3 processor in it. At that price level there isn't much internal difference between manufacturers.

I bought the TS3 to replace an older Olympus one. The video is a nice addition and the images are a bit sharper. The menu is still easy to figure out, and the auto mode can detect when you're trying to do a macro so you don't have to manually change it. The only issues I've had are fingerprints (no more shutter across the lens), and sometimes the images have a blue-green cast on auto if the sun isn't out. You also need to re-sync the GPS if you've moved a bit since last using it, or it will be off.

Nice pics!

I got my 3 weight back after snapping the butt section in about a month from Scott. When I called them I didn't have to navigate any touch tone menus either - a real person answered the phone and answered all my questions.

Nice to see someone finally get caught, but it was only because he was the one that got stuck. He'll just have a bigger truck next time.
