  1. get teh airflow 6wt 40+ and chop about 4 feet off of teh front and ur rockin bombs! i woul dsay it all depends on what you like fo rthe grainage dude.. some people like the bottom end of teh window while others like the top end... i think its alot like single handed/overhand stuff... its all prefrence!
  2. i like too wet the hair before trimming.. makes it a little less messy..... i find u get a nicer spun body or head too if u make it as compact as possible and keep pushing back and stacking in more and mroe hair!
  3. hells yea dude! they have some cheap digital scale all teh way up too some pricey ones! totally worth the money! u can use a spring scale too but having a digital with 1 or 2 points on teh gram is super for being precise! no guessing involved!
  4. hells yea dude! i picked up a digital scale last year at a hemp shop! deadly for dialing in your lines!!!! make all teh difference.. i find if u have a little too much u can sort of puck up a small amount of line off the scale and get a semi accurate reading too so u dont halfto guess on how much u gotta chop off too get it down 10 or 15 grains or even 50 or more! totally a sick investment for one who likes too tinker!
  5. i have the loop custom 6/7 and 7/8 lines chopped for 12 footers!!!!! lemmie knwo if u want too give em a god jayvee~!
  6. a easier line too try and find would be the rio AFS heads.. im not too sure on grain weight.. what is teh grams on your rod recommended? hit a google calculator grams too grains and get one in the window...... anotehr line would be airflows compact scandi... havnt tried one yet but i have a few rio afs heads and love em! another option would be the loop opti custom shooting head.....
  7. happy b-day dude!
  8. thanks everyone !!!!! i didnt get in as many days as the past few seasons or would have hoped(god damn union gigs) but im already in the 40+day mark (including my week in b.c hopingtoo hook steel) wich is a hell of a start! wish yall a dope spring and iw ill see yall out there more with more days off too come!!!! tightlin!
  9. dope pics dude .. good too see ur having some success~! but i thought u werent fishin the bow this year?
  10. the swivel and serve as teh splitshot fursure or yo can add splitshot aswell.. if u find u have no nymphs u lost the top nymph .........if yo find u lost tho swivel too it was teh swivel that got hung up........
  11. sweet dude! gotta love the winter blacks!
  12. the swivel set up is a tapered leader 5-6 feet long with your swivel on the end you can regulate your depth of your nymph setup from there.. it replaces splitshot and if u want too add shot quick u can attach it above the swivel and it wont slide down.. or you upsize your swivel...... we have bin suing this setup for the past few seasons.. it saves you tapered leaders and allows you too keep them the same length without cutting them back inch by inch when you run short on tippet...... they come in sizes like numbers from 2-14 i like 4's 8's n 12's troutscape u got the right idea.. less anchor drag more lifelike movement.. also makes it easier for fish too suck em back i believe.. but then again fish clamp down on wire worms stones etc often and dont seem too mind... but that is the idea behind the weighted leader and low weighted nymphs
  13. u got it mr. botangles size and sillouette too me are more important than color but color would be a close third.......
  14. i know when working at wholesale last winter they sold the tungston sheet.. forgot about that stuff.. was pricey......
  15. im all for teh swivel and un wieghted or lightly weighted nymph rigs.. i find i get a little less moss on my hooks and dont drag up as many sticks either but still get them right in teh zone on bottom...... i use too be all about taking nymphs and making them into cannon balls.... but if u want too weight a nymph down i would say tungston is the way too go(never really used them PRICEY) and find some lead tape!!!!!!! love the stuf...... ive bin using it for a few years now and hardly use beads any more.. its the cats ass imho!!!!!! also keep in mind u can make nymphs with beed bodies like 3-5 green beeds and a black beed for a caddis larvae.. or like i do tye alot of copper john spinoffs with wire bodies(i dont use beadhead johns anymore tho jsut wire bodies) but with a tungston beed and wire body u cant get much more weight into a fly... same with beed body flies......... i remeber making a cone stone once too... i took 3 meduim cones with rubber legs in between for legs then i had 4 small cones on the back end and the 5th cone spun the other way too get the nice short tapered back end... sunk like a ROCK but sucked big time when u lost a pricey fly like that!
  16. never heard of it due wish i could help u out! have u tried contacting him?
  17. no your a big dumb gorilla
  18. it has bin a stellar start too the season so far with many adventure too halfdozen spots in and around SW alberta.... had some stellar fishing at all spots and had a blast with good friends!!!!!... set a few first too for the year ... first lake white on teh fly, first witner pike, first bulls of the year, first 24+ broonie of the year and a personal best 23"er on the crow!!!!!! highlight of teh year forsure!!! enjoy the pics!!!!! hoep tehh rest of the season has many stellar days on teh water! tightlines and enjoy!
  19. hey dude some deadly water for some practice would be upstream of the 22x bridge east side...... walk upstream a few hundred feet and you laughin!
  20. i think its a stellar idea too have a test too get your angling liscence!
  21. dude nailed it.. havnt seen tons of fish on teh olives in teh spring but i do have a few good days each spring were i find a pod or fish or two rising too olives or midges... it never hurts too have a few in teh box. i remeber last year first or second week of april i found a few nice fish sipping olives with brian and was stoked too have a few dries in my box!
