  2. 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.
  3. If tungsten beads and yak hair are the next fads, we'll know a supplier has been behind the whole thing from Day 1.
  4. Some of the guides at Alaska West have their chinook setups on this blog: http://www.deneki.com/2009/01/king-rig-roundup/
  5. Nice fish, and what looks like a really nice hike in!
  6. Great pics, but I'd be on the helicopter if I wanted to visit!
  7. For cutties caddis emerger patterns were working great back in June when they were rising, along with small mayfly nymphs.
  8. Memory Express or any other store that assembles computers on site will probably have some to give away.
  9. 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.
  10. 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!
  12. 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.
  13. 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.

  15. Nice post - I may finally have some motivation to get to the gym this winter!
  16. Terrible news to hear. A bit more information: http://www.theprovince.com/sports/fishing+...1239/story.html
  17. Thanks for sharing the pics and memories.
  18. Nice one!
  19. Happy Birthday!

    Hopefully the fad passes before the mob starts kidnapping the birds for the black market.
  21. This may help: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q209waterproofgroup/
  22. How about an fluorescent pink paint job on the other side? Glow in the dark? Might be able to get some cash back then. There might be a surveying company in town that has experience in this.
  23. Might have meant it as two separate email addresses. sales@amundson.ca manager@amundson.ca
