Also a fan of the magnetic net release with the bungy cord. I got excited landing a nice size fish this year and ended up hot footing it downstream to retrieve my net. Been on the magnet/ bungy cord system since. I grabbed a bit longer shock cording at MEC and it idiot proofed it for me.

+1 for Paula Shearer and Maxwell Robinson

Quick note to say great to meet Murray, Lornce and Smitty and the FFC booth. Thanks to Murray for the private tying lesson for someone new to the sport and tying! I'm still practicing my bare hook whip finishing...... I enjoyed the show and also found great deals on flies, fishing shirts, buffs but missed out of the wading boot deals (by Sunday the sizing was well picked over)

Thanks to Lornce for teaching my nephew how to tie wooly buggers, Murray for the private tying lesson and Smitty for the positive comments! Nice to meet all three of you.

+1 Likewise, i have mine sharpened annually at Knifewear. Two Calgary locations (Inglewood and Calgary Farmers Market). They also donate portion of sharpening proceeds to local charities.

Please add my condolences to his family, friends and fly fishing network. Those who share their knowledge and help out the new to the sport are massively missed.

Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas to all and trout filled 2016!

Wow!!!! I'd like to attend your how to catch only 24" or larger trout seminar

Pictures are always great to see, thanks for posting!

Thanks to Big Dirty (Streamer tips) and Big Foamy (photo step by step fly tying assistance). Both of you really helped me advance my fly fishing skills this year! Finally to David, Nancy and the fantastic staff at FishTales for their patience with my questions and assistance throughout the season.

Judges ruling and amount of the fines needed to send a much stronger message...... add me to the list of the disappointed

well done Jordan, appreciate you keeping this in the forefront.

Great pics and write up. Enjoyed the post!!

brilliant photos, just brilliant.

great video

Took an intermediate FF course from him in May this year......he got me into some fish! I'm a fan.

Another vote for Weedman, I'm in year three with them. Like that they always phone day prior to let me know they will be dropping by. I aerate later in the Fall (not Spring). You get deeper plug as ground is totally thawed and Fall rains and snow melt get down to the roots for a quick start in the Spring. I overseed my grass each year in May. I buy my seed at Costco and believe it's Scotts with great results. Will add play sand as UberFLy has suggested....good idea

Just nice scenery by the river when I walk. Path goes right by the river so it's pretty convenient as well.

Heard it on 660 News on way home...... Like the idea of us forumites watching out for those who may not have heard (benefit of the doubt here) when we might be out walking the river, and letting anyone fishing know the river is closed to angling.

Very Cool rain picture and I'm sure he will never forget his first trout!

Stunning fish!!

I'll echo everyone's thoughts and well wishes. Hope things are progressing positively with the additional tests.

Orvis are with exception of their Encounter and Clearwater rods, which are made in Asia to Orvis specs. I've heard nothing but great things so far about the TFO Impact.

Appreciate the information and details. Thankyou for posting.
