Try before you buy. A favourite of mine is the Loop Opti Stream. But everyone's taste in casting is different. Find something that suits you.

I'm sure they would appreciate any help

Welcome aboard

Out in BC right now. Talk of a lot more closures here. Streams are low low low.

Something to remember when sharing. Poachers read these posts also.

Lots, just do some exploring.

I think the only uproar we will see on this from the freeloaders. If something ugly occurs then it will be treated as a crime. Since often these folks don't check on their units for long periods of time they'll not see the warnings posted and only return to the locaton to find empty space.

Grea tribute, will certainly sit there and think of him

And he's smiling

Never had a problem with Tom Thumb's sinking.

You have to remember that a portion of rod days go to Guides and shops.

No refunds, its BC = Bring Cash

Grease you leader up to a foot from the fly. Use a reach cast to add a bunch of extra line on the water to get a longer drift.

I have a Fispond Fly Tying bag. Lots of see-through windowed pouches, tools pouch tubes for thread spools, Hook box, vise storage area etc. I have it loaded for travel for an extended fishing trip or fly tying demonstration. I used an old Hardy bag but this is built for tying and is so much nicer. Its loaded but a very handy size. There are a few companies that offer these type of bags.

When we headed up on Suday we saw a big mega towtruck heading up. Will be a boon for the local towing companies. They have summertime and temperary CO's on working on this. There is funded for towing. Long overdue enforcement is starting to happen. What they are trying to say is the Public land is there for everyone not just first come. Talking to a CO they are recording locations and taking pictures of units.

Cuttie with an owie.

In BC you need to be registered as a guide. They lobbied the government for many years and succeeded. In 1990, the Ministry of Environment implemented the Classified Waters System to address conservation and angler use issues on a number of the province's most popular steelhead and trout stream fisheries. This included the creation of new licensing requirements for anglers and for the regulation of commercial angling guides through the issuance of "guided rod day" quotas. Rod day quotas give angling guides the right to guide for fish on a given stream for a fee. Recently, changes were introduced to the way that rod days are allocated to angling guides to ensure that the allocation process is fair and open, that the quota is being used, and that the Province receives a fair return for the privilege of holding it. The Ministry of the Environment regulates angling guiding to ensure a quality angling experience for all anglers. The Ministry licences angling guides and collects data annually on their activities in the province. An angling guide must be a citizen or permanent resident of Canada, provide proof of liability insurance and submit an angling guide operating plan that has been approved by a Ministry of Environment Regional Manager. There are currently over three hundred licenced angling guides in B.C. and over four hundred licenced assistant angling guides operating under their supervision. Rod days can also be allocated for Lodges with Guides and other orginizatons.

Felt, its the safest.

There was a time where I treated flies with spray Scotchgard. Worked fairly well initially but it does like floatent wear off in time.

I got smart and compiled a check list on my computer to to do a last minute look. Now if I could only find the list...

Reels also help.

Or just take it back to TF for a new one.

If you don't report it does make you an accomplace. Just saying.

It's a shame I grew up in BC, but being semi-retired I have to be very careful how many times I fish in my home grounds.
