Imagine if you paid retail!!!!!

I shall be.....Site #8. Anyone else that's there Sunday-Wednesday....please stop by!! Al "Cutty Hut"

I'm at Dutch all the time (seasonal site) and the coverage is sporadic if at all (Telus)....I have seen people talking on their cells at the ranger station and there are a few warm spots if you move around.

WOW!!!!

Sadly...a SJW works well....it just ain't right!!

I sat all week at the "Cutty Hut" with my hand shading my eyes looking for you guys coming into the "Cutty Hut"......I had to talk to Don Anderson instead!! My office is the "Rose & Crown" pub!! Lot's of Guinness there!!

If you are staying near downtown come see me at my "office". We have Guinness!!! PM me.

I will be at Hut.... Monday PM to Wed AM.....Have to work Sunday. First time in 5 years!!!

I try everything!!! Seems different year to year. A neglected fly from the above suggestions worked well for me the last few days. It's fun to find out on your own.

I tried a "Deer fly patch" the other day. It's a adhesive patch you stick to the back of your cap and has a sticky top side for flies to stick too as they circle your head. Unfortunately by the time I put it on to try the temp had dropped as did the number of flies. So I haven't done a true field test but I will in a few days. I have also used lotion and spray made from essential oils which works well. One of the oils in its ingredients is "catnip oil" so I would avoid wearing it in cougar country!!!! Haha!!

Must have used Don Anderson's "MDC Fly"!!!!

Tough to have the best of both worlds.....Keeping a trailer shiny and travelling on gravel roads. Wait til they lay the oil down and you get that red/brown streak on the front!! Good luck!!

I'm hopeful.....

I carry 2 x 2-sided boxes of dry flies, 1 box of big dry's, a small box of nymphs and a small box of teeny tiny emergers in the fall. Lot's!!

I'm looking at a kit that includes 100W panel, charge controller,wires, mounting hardware etc.$250. I'd put the link here IF I COULD DO IT ON THIS DARN WEBSITE!!!

Yikes!!! It's so hard to predict what flies will be working around the "Cutty Hut" after last years flooding. Usually you might see PMD's and Drakes at that time of year, but last year they were conspicuous by their absence. I honestly won't know what to expect until I'm on the river. Terrestrials (beetles. ants) are always a good call,

I am contemplating installing a solar panel on my RV. I have seen the YouTube video where the guy runs the wires down the refrigerator vent etc. Has anybody installed a solar panel? Tips....advice? Thanks Al

Pretty luxurious in comparison!!

I have camped 5 days so far and my battery has been used for the occasional light and listening to the game on my stereo. I have had the furnace on briefly to see if it works. I still have lots of juice left. One of my neighbours has two deep cycle batteries and takes one home every week and recharges it and rotates them through. I'm going to try this as I have 2 batteries. Trial and error until I come to a solution that works for me. My site has good sun exposure so a solar panel might be in the works. There is a well reviewed 100 W solar kit on Amazon for $250 that I might go to from Sean84's suggestion. Has anybody installed there own system? People mount the panel then put the wires thru the refrigerator vent and into the RV and then to the battery(ies). If anybody has done this please let me know, Thanks for all your advice Al

I have a Weber 22" kettle grill.....It's very versatile and not smoking specific. Tons of fun!! Thanks for the advice. Keeping the temperature at 220 is a challenge with charcoal but I've done it.

The "Cutty Hut II" is now sitting at Site #8 at Dutch Creek!! It's pretty luxurious compared to the original. I actually laid on the couch last week and listened to the hockey game on the stereo!! I'll be there every week (except for this upcoming May 25-28). My new site seems pretty secluded with no neighbours on 3 of the 4 sides and the one neighbour will probably be gone when I get there on Sundays. From the looks of the rivers, it may be awhile after opening day before I'll be fishing but I have been wrong before, In the meantime I will be practicing BBQ on my Weber kettle for hours of entertainment while I'm there. I'm still learning so hopefully this time not fishing will not be wasted. Any body have some rib smoking advice/recipes? I'm getting better but still have a ways to go!!

This is driving me crazy!!! I have installed Google Chrome but my browser is still IE.......still can't C&P to the forum....Get me out of this mini rage!!

If I could "copy & paste" links to this dam forum I would include a link from US border services that says "Yes"!! I'm getting a bit ticked that I can't copy links!! WTF!
