I'll be at the "Cutty Hut" June 15-18....if you are in the area stop by and say Hi. #8 , Dutch Creek PRA.

I just got them and I was wondering how to do up a nymph rig with them.....I don't nymph much.

I took the time before viewing to grab a beer and a handful of popcorn...I downed the beer but didn't quite make it through the popcorn!!!

Water levels/flows of Oldman and tribs up significantly today but they are now at their average for this time of year..they were pretty low .

Nice work!!! Zip up those vest pockets though!!! Asking for trouble!!! (Speaking from experience!!)

I set up the "Cutty Hut" this past weekend. Pulled it up the FTR from Coleman the rainy Saturday. A few flakes of snow at Dutch Creek overnight Saturday but Racehorse got a few inches. It was pretty wet and cold for a few days but cleared up. River levels are way below average

A great start but we all know that there is no manpower to enforce these regulations....it's nice to know that a citizen can provide a video or a licence plate and get results. I'm telling!!

I just got one and I'm going to spool it up on the Galvan reel I won at the Fly fishing expo, then attach it on my new 3wt (Winston Nexus) for "Cutty" season. I will give you a review mid June!!

If you are around the Oldman/Livingston area.....drop by the "Cutty Hut"!!

How he and you react to this is key!!! If he really want's it....he'll get it. If you want it more than him.....different story.

I just discovered "tippet rings". Anyone tried them? Thoughts?

Unless I was doing something illegal, and I don't, I would have no problem having a drone film me.....I would be flattered. What's the big deal?

Don't get me started!!

This makes me even more appreciative of winning a Galvan reel at the Fly Fishing Expo!!

Coooool!!

If you live in Calgary head down to the Fly Fishing Expo next week and try out all the new gear.....

Taco.....I was referring to myself. The 14" wheels and a '93 Mazda truck can't do much more than that!! But back to carrying rods....when I hole hop I have a magnetic rod holder that I purchased from Cabela's that I attach on the truck just above the windshield and then slide the reel under my wiper and placing the rod in the holder. I have customized the holder by adding a strap which holds the rods in their groove in the magnetic holder securely. It may be risky.... but so far no problems. I only use it going to and from my campsite to the fishing spots. If I could copy and paste links on here I would show you the holder.

Are you looking to build something for high speeds on Deerfoot (110kph) or rambling down the Forestry Trunk Rd(50 KPH)....big difference.

I don't bait fish.........

Haha!! BBT...you're killing me!!

Have you tried adding an insole to your current boots? This would fill the gap that was taken up by the neoprene from your waders. I wear Cloudveil wading boots (since discontinued) and they came with an insole for wet wading. Might be worth a try.

Flyfishfairwx..........Always love gratuitous plugs of the "Cutty Hut" in the "Multimedia"!!

I'm no expert but can't you move your head more than your chest ? It seems like a no brainer...but that's just me. I enjoy viewing all fly fishing moments!!

Hope you find it 'cause I would enjoy seeing the pics. Every year the area changes. Some stretches disappear only to uncover new ones.

My vision is OK for long distance but sucks close up. I wear progressive glasses at work because I can't wear "readers" as every thing else is blurred when looking "up". For fishing I wear polarized bifocal readers. I have a few pairs of the "Guidelines" as well as a recently purchased (E-Bay) pair of Smiths. All work well and were less than $70. I would guess from my experience. that if your vision is OK except for reading etc. polarized bifocals may work better than progressives as the progressive lens is set up to look straight ahead and the peripheral is blurred. You may miss a rising fish "in the corner of your eye". ...my .02 centavos.
