  1. You'll have to bring that out to a spey gathering sometime. How does the total rod weight compare to the TFO?
  2. Hope he gets better soon, can't believe some of the crap going on here nowadays.
  3. Talk to Chris down at Fishtales, he's into drift fishing.
  4. There's a bit more security in dealing with an established company though - if your builder quits or disappears you're SOL. Still, if you can get a lower price it may end up being the same overall cost in the end if you factor in the "shipping" fee.
  5. Next year we can order in -30 and a foot of snow if you prefer...
  6. There are free ripping tools to get the movie onto your hard drive; I haven't tried this tool but it sounds like it would work: http://www.winxdvd.com/dvd-ripper/ There's also plenty others out there: http://lifehacker.com/380702/five-best-dvd-ripping-tools Once you have the two movie files (avi, wmv, etc), if you have windows vista or 7 download windows live movie maker (I think XP had a different movie maker), add both the movie files, and let it spit out a combined movie as a file or a DVD.
  7. Rio Gold for single handed 5wt Airflo scandi lines Beulah Tonic for a short skagit or switch rod line. I have a 40+ 8wt for my xi2 8wt - it was a bit too heavy for my taste but the polyurethane coatings are easy to chop and weld.
  8. Deerfoot south between 3:30 and 4:00 from Country Hills to Douglasdale was fine, with the usual slowdown after Glenmore. At least the contractors are doing a good job. When I came back around 9:30 it was still good, but most people were paranoid, not going over 70 or 80.
  9. My DC 12.5' 5/6 is my go to rod, but with smaller flies it might be fun to have something a bit lighter or shorter, like a switch.
  10. Leaks in copper pipe are more likely due to the change in water chemistry delivered since the pipes were installed. Certain chemicals that were in copper year ago actually protected the inside, but upon removing them corrosion started to occur. This is an old story throughout North America.
  11. Looks like a fun time!
  12. I use a 24' skagit with 10' polyleaders on my 12.5' Deer Creek with no problems - cheaters can be a pain and there really is no point on a shorter spey rod. Skagit lines were designed to turn over heavy tips and are a good investment for winter fishing when you may have a limited back cast due to being on an ice shelf.
  13. They probably won't catch him on this one, but its good for their statistics and if the guy eventually does get caught they'll have some more info on him.
  14. There's a tutorial here: http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/ What are you trying to do with the file? For most websites, there's usually a folder called public_access or htdocs or something similar (where your index.html goes) - but for others it will just be your root directory if you want it to apply to the entire website.
  15. You can use em with just a long mono leader, and add a splitshot a few inches above it, but if that doesn't get you down where you need to be you may need a sink tip line.
