jeebus dude! sounds like a memorable trip forsure! glad to see yall got a replacment for your toon! why didnt yall just glue it shut like i told ya ! sometimes misfortune can lead too some good fortune to!!!!!!! none of yall got killed! and u wont b forgetting this for a long time! thanks for sharing!

that u bulin wall for that fenominal attemt lastnight!!!!!!!!!

i think it could be great for a lo them cutty streams n brookie streams were a 10 incher is a beast.... it has too be able too fish flies larger than 14's i got a 2wt that can fish hopper dropper rigs no problemo! cant see how a 0 would be much lighter.. but i havnt held this rod before so i could be wrong...

i swing em or strip em in slack lakie water!!!!! usually on intermediate lines or short sinktips!!!!

u better roll on down too fishcreek! shity part is u cant roll back up! and i aint picking u up too take ya fishin u big dumb guerilla! were the hells is weedy with his chopper and aircraft carrier anyway? its almost bin a whole freakin year!!!!

looks like a dope adventure!

u betcha! im for liscencing guides! not really into teh rod day thing b.c. has going on! but we need a change asap!

i would take a few feet off the back.. like 3 or 4 then maybe 2 off the front.. give it a cast and see were it is for u... like bowcane said it can be risky and u can wreck the line (ive messed around witha few dozen the last year and ahve lots of scrap lines kicking arounw now) then cast is.. if its still too heavy take another foot off the back.. u will be altering the taper of teh head no matter what you do so its up too ya too make it sutable for what you want too do with it!

fish live in a place were they recieve no gravitational pull when taking them out of the water they are stressed.. lifting them up and down stresses out teh organs being pulled down.. and u can also rip and tear the gills under the gillplate.. gill plates too.. wich can lead too killing fish.. why not just grill your buddy? i do it all the time! ask him if he was held up by the throat how it would feel? probably painful and could kill him by collapsing his windpipe or cutting off blood flow too teh brain! if your a c& r fisherman u would think it would be in your best interest too limit fish handling and too keep them in the water for as long as possible too reduce stress and injury as much as possible...

hopefuly the rain wil bring out the bwo's!

schweet link dude! thanks for posting!

toss streamers dude! green and white clouser will work as a imitaion.... or like u said just start chuckin gear! if u want teh easy way out get a centre pin and lob nymphs under a dink float! or crank raps! i love the challenge with teh cast itself!!!!! somedays its not the flyguys day! other days it is!!!!

its easier too have 2 rods riggerd for speed of changing rigs uber but ide rather just fish one the day i plan to fish.. rip on out and swap out lines if need be.. only takes a minute or two...... i use to carry 2 and even 3 rods on the bow at one time but its just a pain in teh ass.. getting more n more lightweight each year..... this year i went with a hip pack a few dozen flies i intend too use on a said day and the rod too target the fish i wana fish.. maybe a line if i want a different presentation.... i dont bring anything but bull trout stuff the days i hunt em.. same with teh days i want too stalk small stream trout on dries. i can move faster n cover more water that way.. and its not as much of a pain in the ass compared too a backpack n loads of gear for 50 millino situations i probably wont capitalize on anyway.. but like u said its a question that cannot be answered or has more than one answer.. why buy a switch when u can carry a spey n single hander? same ideal!

i had a stellar second half of summer with tons of dryfly action on the bow and tons of bulltrout adventures solo and with friends! got in a ton of camping trips aorund sw alberta! the fall has bin awsome so far and i hope the feesh gods are treating yall well! enjoy!!!!!!

its not either.. if u want a presentation taper for dries and a overlined line for punching out distance with bigger flies just do that..... get a 6wt rio trout II or something like that and a pike or bass taper for the big nasties and your laughin.... all of my rods have 2-4 lines for specific situations.. i dotn really understand teh dual rated rods and teh purpose.. other than the grain window is in teh middle of 2 aftma ratings.. so they call it a 5/6 kind of like my 3 1/2 wt.. i will have a 3wt for dries and a 4wt with a thicker front taper for hopper dropper/small nymph rig stuff... its easeir too have 2 rods rigged up but cheaper just too have a few spools of line or even better shooting heads and slickshooter on one spool my opti runner i use for my 6wt 8wt single hander and 7wt double hander.. just bring the few lines i need for the stick im suing that day! ta hell with a bunch of spools n what not just one dope reel that can be used for all!

the 5/6 dual rating will through a 5 or 6wt line almost equally aswell.. i have a 3.5 wt being built right now so i guess u could call it a 3/4 u dig? it can handle both lines resonable well but if oyur out of teh grian window too much it will collapse.. i think the dual rating like jack mentioned is dumb! because it u have a6wt with a 6wt line its fine and a 7wt line will slow the action down and a 5wt line will speed teh action up.. so all rods could be a dual action sort of.. most dual action rods ive seen are lower too mid range rods and i think its just a in between blank rather than calling it one or the other.. but u can make any rod really a 5/6 if its a 5wt and u fish 5wts for dries and 6wt lines for streamers..

dope pics dude thanks for sharing!

use the beed according too the size of head on the bug u intend too tie!!!!! usually much smaller than u might htink! sometimes larger!

im diggin teh intruders the last 2 years.. but bugger n bow bugger varients are always a dope tye!
