you can wear anything loud and proud at the river!!! we need something you can wear loud and proud where ever you may go! i willl wear what i get, but it would be nice to have something that catches some attetion in a good way. Think about it this way, your walking down the mall with your spouse, bored to hell wishing you wernt there. And something catches your attetion. its someone wearing a ffc product! now this gives you an excuse to stop and chat. with a lame logo like the one posted who is going to notice it... we need something a little more creative with a little more time spent on it. we are displaying somethign we love to do. so why should we settle with a "cheap" logo. there is alot of tallent on this board and i can gurantee we can come up with something better then this! liek i said before this is just my 2 cents and i will purchase whatever is made. but why dont do it right and make something that looks nice and up to date. not a logo from an 80's tshirt

What Would You Do If You Saw.....
j5ep00 replied to chidders's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
Your a horrible person you should have never done that! you just killed so many helpless unborn fish!!!!!!!!! just screwing around, i wouldnt stress it you did the right thing. it may have affected the spawn a bit but one fish is nothing. it must have been hard to pull yourself away from a group of 15 browns taking anything you throw at them! i think i would have to cry! -

Booyakka! My First Fly Trout
j5ep00 replied to PlayDoh's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
PlayDoh you can eat the fish out of the bow, however you may not keep anything over 35cm. i have never kept a fish south of calgay nor would i recomend it. i have picked up many needles etc from the shores. I have kept the odd fish from the nw section to throw in the smoker. In my honest opionion go buy some salmon! so much better. Sometimes catching risers at this time of year gets tricky unless you know what your doing. Most of the bugs the fish are rising for are very small which makes it really hard to see your fly. Not to metion that the hooks size is really small and hooksets and landing fish gets pretty tricky aswell. a size 18-22 hook will bend rather easy if you mussle the fish to hard. A mend is exactly what you stated, you want your flys drifting naturally threw the water with no drag. Sometimes you have to get a bit creative depending on the currents your line go threw. This is only one way of doing it, you were using a streamer so you could have also tried swinging it. Cast slightly upstream and let the fly swing all the way down bellow you, Let it sit for 10 seconds and start striping until your line is close enough to make a cast. I like to let my fly sit agian after i strip for a few seconds. You metion that you want your flies to get down to the right depth quickly, well the only way to do this is add weight! I personally hate splitshot and will rarely use them. try and use bead heads or other weighted flys. The strike indicator will help you learn how to read the currents and it makes it easier to see when your truly dead drifting. You metion that you started casting more straight up and down. Its great that you are catching on so quickly and being critical. This will make it easier for you to get thing's right! just to add that when i fish streamers i try to have my rod on a bit of an angle say 30 degres, this prevents me from ending my day like Rickr. But i cant say i havent done it! Sounds like your doing great! keep us posted on your advancements. As well if you are in need of a fishing partner for a day i would be glad to have you tag along. Good job on the fish! Tight lines. chris -

was just watching the news for the last half hour, they had a story about fishing the bow. looks to me like they had a boat following a drift boat. not sure i like all that much how they were talking of the size of the fish etc and not once did they metion to check into regulations before fishing. nice way to add to the problems that we already have maybe i should contact global before the evening news, and ask them to add to check into regulations etc before heading out onto the water
