  1. Don't see why they would not take small wet flies or nymphs.
  2. Some classic North County Spider's, Waterhen Bloa's for a fellow in the US.
  3. It is usually relative to how busy they are with other calls and where they might be in relation to the potential perpetrators location. I've had anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. My very best was at the parking lot of Fish Creek park. I never accuse but observe and report all I can. Have even strolled by and said, wow nice fish can I get a picture of you holding that stringer..................
  4. 2015 Sport Fishing Regulations Never Cull Fish “Culling” is staying within the catch limit for a species by releasing fish from a stringer or other holding device when a larger fish is caught. Fish that have been held on a stringer or in a tub usually die if released because of stress and because of damage to their gills, fins and scales. Culling is unlawful if the practice occurs beyond a person’s legal limit.
  5. Must start paroling again. a few years back I made enough in rewards to buy an new Loop Opti Stream.
  6. I believe Carp can be also called Crap (see fly fishers handbook for definition). They have been reported in the Bow, and a great many ponds in the Edmonton and Calgary area. I have seen them live in Asian markets. Not a big step for someone who wants free fish to do a bucket brigade.
  7. Deserves to be on some water talking to some Trout.
  8. Doc's Hi-Vis crazy Ant
  9. Sigh, would love to swing for Steelies out west but it isn't in the budget.
  10. Please post more pix, its hard to say exactly Taco you are most likely right on the on the ferrule but there seems to be a missing a guide. Lovely old rod though.
  11. Perfect tie, nice tinsel work. Kudos
  12. Seems to be a problem with the latest version of Safari. Try this.'
  13. Thank god it worked out with no injures. Hopefully more of your stuff will show up from honest hands.
  14. Try downloading Firefox for you browser. I like it better.
  15. Yes that one of Bill Rutherford's rods. Looks like you have a missing ferrule. Cool old rod.
  16. Working on some swinging wets.
  17. Tried smoking pot once, handle kept sticking in my throat.
  18. I cut and weld another loop in place, been doing it for years. Not hard. Clear shrink wrap tubing and a candle.
  19. Hoping everyone is OK.
  20. How it happens The life cycle of the parasite causing whirling disease is complex,one. Once established in the skull of an adult fish, Myxobolus cerebralis, which is only about 10 microns, or .01 millimeters in size, is released into the water after the fish dies and decomposes. These microscopic parasites are then devoured by tubifex worms that live in the mud of freshwater streams and lakes. The worms act as a second host for the parasite, which metamorphoses into these 300-micron monsters then known as triactinomyxon, or “TAMs,” the parasites remain in the mud-dwelling worms until they are excreted into the lower water column. Nearby trout redds are particularly vulnerable to the parasite, which can attach to the skins and shoot spores into the juvenile trout, penetrating their skin and beginning the cycle once again. There is no treatment for whirling disease at this time. The best way is to inspect and just clean all your equipment with fresh water ie: hose it down well (especially remove mud and sediment) then allow for a minimum of 24 to dry (a bleach solution is not an answer). In my opinion banning felt is just a knee jerk attitude. There are too many other items like nets,, waders, laces, fly vests and all your other items even damp flies. The disease is transmitted through spores. Equipment used for swimming, paddling, boating, water pumping, life jackets, or through infected fish (alive or dead) and fish parts are more likely to spread spores. It has been detected in all the western states and many northeastern watersheds. Link
  21. This..... I have reported fish years ago with the symptoms.
  22. Have a separate set of boots for drift boats.
