Its a good one, a nice cross between Caddis and Klinkhammer

Have a great Birthday and make it your day.

Remember that insect life will change sometimes dramatically depending on the depth of water and bottom structure.

Those are fun thanks for posting.

I like wool gloves, used them for 30 years, have a pair without fingers that suit me, nice thing about wool is it stays warm even if wet. Good idea also is to keep an extra pair of dry gloves handy in your pack and pocket warmers. Goes a long way to having a more comfortable day. Tried some of the hi tec ones but still love good old wool.

It's on the back of your fishing license but speed dial is the way to go.

Loop does make a good product

In more ways than one.

The Loop Opti Stream has been the best single handed fly rod I've owned. Perfect weight and I can drift nympths or settle a dry fly nice and easy. Excellent casting control, it's super accurate and can handle big bushy dries. It sings with a number of lines that I own. It's a rod I use a lot.

I met my wife of 28 years marriage on a trout stream. It was not catch and release.

it's all about presentation.

Unlimited fishing possibilities on the Bow. Don't have to wade. I wear waders but seldom get them very wet. I see most people standing where the fish are.

This old fat guy can actually do up his boots without passing out

I have the Korkers Chrome and love em.

Awesome pictures like always.

In the end, no matter what I see from some of the so called "reports" here, a small percentage of fly fisherman catch the largest percentage of the fish, why? because they take the time to get to know the water. As said a few guides and fishermen here give wonderful accurate reports on conditions. But, Just because a spot is pointed out the likelihood of a novice being highly successful is low. Certainly there are exceptional days but I often see reports here that wildly contradict what is actually happening on the water as far as insect life, water conditions and size of catch. people like to boast and stretch it a bit. Fly fishing is getting to know the water, insect life, cycles and seasonal conditions and using that information gathered to present a representation of what the food source is at the given time. In my mind it isn't using a bobber and wire worm, if that is your boast to being a fly fisherman, I believe you're missing the mark. Just my 2 cents.

This will be excellent for the fishery. Thanks to all who participated in making this happen.

Used the crushed version also using the coffee grinder trick, keep mine in an old 35 mm film container. I also like to have a few of these silica packs in my hardy bag, reel cases and my vest to help with moisture reduction.

Tip: You can do an under-body of of wrapped foam also for flotation.

Verry cool those would make great wall decor.

Not many places are, we'll keep the trout and Ginnes warm for ya, and the Glenfiddich on ice.

Much worst than bear spray.

You just need to find a Spey rod that is suited for trout waters. My 4 wt Meiser rocks and even 14" trout will give me a run. Not to mention these guys

Carping in Kelowna off the beaches with shallow flats like the Maude Roxy Wetland and Gyro, late in the evening. My Staff is with me everything I wade, I love it so much I never hit the river without it. It's essential tackle for me especially with the weighted bottom. Haven't talked to Greg since the FF show. See you next time you're out here.
