  1. Been a while since I hit that one, beauty pictures.
  2. Verry nice Walleye, never fished Crawling Valley, must give it a try. Them's good eats.
  3. I've caught some wierd things in the Bow including a couple of Comet gold fish. Check this one out that one of our guides nailed.
  4. Awsome pictures, looks like you had a great time. Must plan to be there next year.
  5. Kudos to fish and wildlife for this bust.
  6. Just saw this on the news, pretty fantastic fish.
  7. You could... 1) Hire a guide to fast track your knowledge of the sport and the particular body of water. 2) Watch the "Fishing get together" section and go out with someone more experienced 3) Select a section of water and get to know it, not only fish it but sit down and watch the water, insect life etc.
  8. Stunning
  9. My favorite Guide.
  10. Looks like you had a lot of fun thanks for posting the great pictures.
  11. I did see that and posted a complaint.
  12. That's right these ads are actually Google based and will most likely cycle through any forum or site that contains Google key words to do with the subject (in this case fishing) trigger where it is viewed. Some of these banner ads will actually follow you from other sites you visit. Nothing to do with FFC.
  13. Wonderful fish and colors. A day to be remembered.
  14. You can also use combinations of silk, mono, braid etc.
  15. Been trying to get that bugger for a while.
  16. Hava great day Don
  17. Excellent job.
  18. another comment a quality furled leader is really nice, a poor quality one is nice for tying up your tomato plants.
  19. Just my 2 cents I fished braided leaders for a few years. Although they turned over nicely and cast well the thing I hated about them was a retention of water that would dump during the pickup and forward cast. It resulted (for me that is in my own experience) in a small shower of water drops that proceeded the line to the water which did not help stealth. The kick up of water on the pick up in turn would result in a slower pick up as it added weight. Something that doesn't happen for me with Furled. Braided and furled leaders are totally different. Furled dress with floatant nicely to float, they pick up no more water than a hand tied leader and don't throw water on the false cast. The braided do not float well and absorb a goodly amount of water. When using these type of systems as opposed to just a tapered leader it does take some experimentation to "tune" the leader for not only the length of taper for the line you are using but also the amount of leader you use to your terminal flies. They do turn over and straighten really nicely. I can use more tippet to fly with control. They are not for everyone or for all fishing situations, where they shine and I bring them out are in flat tail water dry fly work to enhance a delicate presentation such as in snout hunting or dry fly work on lakes. They are not made for nymphing or streamer work.
  20. The tug is the drug.
  21. Actually I'm just crusty.
  22. Super rods, have a couple of original Bamboo versions. The newer ones are great casters.
