I got out to the Ball Diamonds for a couple of hours today and was rewarded with this 14" Brown and a 16" Rainbow........not that big but nice and healthy! Nice to see they weren't scarred up or abused in any way. Great to be out on a beautiful day! Just might have to do it all over again to-morrow. Tight lines, Dick Seymour

ksmitty, You're on the right track. Check out the following web-site........you just may win a pretty good rod from TFO in a draw promoting a new line of rods: http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?...mp;#entry130605 Dick Seymour

Great Scott!! Your picture-taking is just about as fine as your rodbuilding. Good job Scott!! Dick Seymour

Scott, If you build it no higher than 24 inches off the ground you don't need a permit. I live in a condo complex and that is what we did, and then we built a small step at the entranceway to get inside.

Great shot Scott. Nice Cutty!! Cheers, Dick Seymour

Hi Everyone, I just finished up my new Cutty Rod build. I posted it in the Rod Showcase on the Rodbuilding Forum. Here is the link to the web-site if anyone is interested: http://www.rodbuildingforum.com/index.php?showtopic=23687 Thanks to Chris(BigBowTrout) and James(fishfreak) for the use of their Cutty pics. Thanks for looking, Dick Seymour

Hey Rick, I'll be there at 7:45 with a big stick of butter. One stick or two? Cheers, Dick Seymour

Hey Max, Do u think if I started smoking again, I could catch as many fish as u? Happy New Year, Dick Seymour

Hey Jayhad, You are the first I know of, to admit to having H1N1, besides my daughter's family doctor! In my honest opinion, I think if you haven't had H1N1 by now you are either resistant to it, immunized by the vaccine, or by having some form of H1N1 in the past( maybe as far back as fifteen years ago). In the past three weeks I have seen a few different people(friends and family) with a lot of different symptoms(rashes, flu symptoms, pneumonia, my wife got very weak and just about fainted while out shopping, lung issues on a two year old, and in my case, a re-occurance of kidney failure.........maybe would have been worse if I hadn't had the seasonal flu shot every year for the past ten years? I don't think any of the above cases are considering the possibility of H1N1.... except me. Just my 2 cents... any opinions? Regards, Dick Seymour

Cool!! Nice/great looking fish. We spent a week up there in June, but never ran into anything like that! Any chance of seeing a pic of the Carey Special with the Peacock Sword tail. We wanna get ready for next summer's trip. Thanks a lot, Dick Seymour

Hey John, My grandson, Ryan Smart filled out an application and e-mailed it from my pc about a week ago, and we haven't heard back yet. When would we know if he is accepted? Thanks, Dick Seymour

I agree one hundred percent!!...............And Jay, I think you did a good job handling/landing those monsters,.........and, ............. an excellent job handling the snarly post. WELL DONE!!! CHEERS, Dick Seymour

That's a beauty, Brad!! Dick Seymour

Hey Birchy, Is the Danvise still for sale? PM sent. Dick Seymour

Hey Clayton, Right!!!.....but where is the pic of that gorgeous rod you built? Good to see you on the river to-day. Nice fish, Dick Seymour

Very nice Jay!!!Excellent job! Dick Seymour

Hey Greg, I thought for sure Batman used a "SWITCH ROD"!!! Happy New Year, Dick Seymour

I don't know if you saw Rex Murphy on the National this evening. Anyways I responded to the CBC with the following. If enough guys e-mailed everybody they know and the two e-mail addresses that I did it might get their attention.

The only thing he didn't include was the fact that Gonernor-General Michelle Jean not only has the power to do what is right, or........ to install the "three amigos" as our next government and quite possibly create " THE REPUBLIC OF WESTERN CANADA". Thank you for airing this, I remain, Dick Seymour. ps. I sent this to Jason Kenny also ----- Original Message ----- From: Dick Seymour To: kennej@parl.gc.ca Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 8:48 PM Subject: THE REPUBLIC OF WESTERN CANADA Jason, As a constituent(my wife , Irma Seymour is a paid-up, sustaining donor)....here is my 2 cents.

Thanks Brunsie, Specially built to outcast Ron when we are trying to dig a big one out of the weeds close to shore on our annual(third) trip up north. See you at the Fish Tales seminars this winter, Dick Seymour

Hey Don, Great post!! And it was certainly a pleasure talking to you at Fish Tales to-day. Thanks for the o-ring suggestion for the removable section of my Switch Rod Handle. It dawned on me at home that I can epoxy rubber winding checks in either end to keep the dust and dirt out. I managed not too bad a pic to show off the shine on the Claro Walnut. Looking forward to coming up and seeing your Bamboo sometime. Cheers, Dick Seymour

Hey Doc, I am right in the middle of changing a Dan Craft six weight four piece 9' 6" Five Rivers Sig v to a 10' 2" Switch Rod with a Removable Fighting Butt, in fact it is all ready to glue up. I have a ten foot five weight CTS Affinity One Blank that I didn't quite know what to do with, but I do now, I will be putting a longer handle and removable fighting butt on it also. Cheers, Dick Seymour

Hey Spey Guys, Thanks for a great afternoon out on the Bow, the kind words on my switched out Switch Rod and all the pointers and helpful ideas. Special thanks to Toolman, Bhurt and Cdone(Colin) for all their help. I, too, am looking forward to next time. I managed one not too bad pic of my converted Switch Rod. It is still not glued up but you can see the extension on the handle and the new fighting butt......9' 6" changed to 10' 2". Great time!! Dick Seymour
