  1. If you're not set on a sport specific jacket, MEC makes some good stuff.
  2. Small, all black Bitch Creeks work well. Real simple tie.
  3. I would think things like, tires, brakes, ball joints ect., windshield, all the lights and any recalls are going to get checked for sure. If I remember correct, if the vehicle is less than 10 years old, you wouldn't need an inspection.
  4. There's a good tip in here to get a nice collar.
  5. I fished the Green a few years ago. Very cool country, good people too. Not exactly sure what time of year I was there, but I'm thinking Mayish. Virtually everyone on the river was knocking the *hit out them with cicadas. I was in the area for work and managed to put two fairly solid walk and wade days in. I caught them on everything, nymphs, dries and streamers. Had the most consistancy with streamers, olive or brown. No monsters, but good, solid fish. It was busy though, I didn't know that many drift boats existed.
  6. You haven't stayed in Golden, untill you've stayed at the Rondo.
  7. I've been in the Bass Pro in Denver, their fly fishing section was full service for sure, comparable to Wholesale's section. I live in Airdrie and know I'll be spending money in there, as I'm sure alot of people living north of 16th will be.
  8. Musky Hunter. Just kidding, although it must be somebody's fav. it's basically on a loop on WFN. Sport fishing on the Fly gets my vote. The Trout Diaries are good as well.
  9. Went teeth first into a fireplace hearth - basically all my teeth gone, had to have lower lip reattached (being a kid/having no fear) Drove my femur through the top of my tibia - twenty some pieces (skiing/booze) Multiple broken fingers, hands, toes, feet (hockey) Lynn, had a buddy get hit with the gal bladder thing this past summer. It wasn't pretty.
  10. Fish as much as possible. Period.
  11. Had to take my truck to Crappy Tire when I brought it up from down south for an out of province. Took them like 20 min, the guy at the service counter did it. Not sure if it's the same type of out of province inspection, but it was painless. I suggest finding the busiest Canadian Tire in Calgary, they probably won't look that hard.
  12. Any electronics shop that sells multimeters should have them. Those are awesome hackle pliers
  13. Wendel Clark is hockey the right way.
  14. Love shredding the gnar. It would have to a super special price for LL to see any of my money. Thanks, though.
  15. Maybe frontier justice isn’t such a bad thing…… Doubtful this guy is ever going to be productive member of society.
  16. Your crazy if you're going to drag ANYTHING off your pontoon in the Bow.
  17. Old truck = off warranty = did it myself. New truck = on warranty = toyota does it.

  19. Recently 'downsized' trucks. Went from a late 90s ram 1500 v8 to an 05 v6 tacoma, both 4wd, to save on fuel costs. Tacoma is HARD on fuel...but power to burn. My fuel saving plan didn't work out to well......but nice truck.
  20. Anywhere north of Medicine Hat, near the river. On a hot day, you'll find them. The little guys are the most dangerous, they'll snap at anything.
  21. I own an Outcast 9'. I've had it for three years and have no complaints with workmanship/durability. Better rod holders would have been nice.
  22. There’s only one thing I enjoy more than fly fishing in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, the smooth, full flavor of Laramie cigarettes.
  23. Did six hours yesterday. Fished untill I lost all three of my nymphs.....couldn't get my fingers to function enough to rig up again. Started ok, by the time I got back to the truck it was -8 and blowing hard. Managed 10 or 12 between the two of us.
