  1. i think its a stellar idea too have a test too get your angling liscence!
  2. 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!
  3. ive fished and seen lots of soft hackle nymphs and flies.. they can be effective and fun too tye but im not too sure if they outproduce otehr patterns... they do make some deadly mayfly cripples tho fished in teh film.... heasdcan ive tossed a few hopper/dry dropper rigs with 2 droppers and they can be deadly!!!!!!!
  4. that looks like bow river water too me... make sure not too stretch you line too much or too hard.. you can seperate the core from the outter plastic core and give you line weak spots and it will coil more.. just lightly limp/stretch the line if need be ive seen this also but oddly enough never had a issue with it on any of my airflo lines... not sure if it has something too do with me dunking my lines and reels lots or jsut a few bad lines out there that too seep color.....
  5. sick dudes!!!!!!!!!
  6. cant waite! stop by and say hi! i will be giving away all teh secrets!
  7. sick pics dude! 4th shot down is deadly! and ithink i recognize that big brown a few pics below!!!!!
  8. i like teh riffle hitch.. pete showed it too me last year and i think it can be deadly for stones caddis and any other bug taht crawls alogn the surface
  9. you halfto buy a win card its jsut how it works in alberta.....
  10. i like too start from teh top and i try too break the stem at teh top first when i start too strip the feather
  11. hey dude u can use any line too single hand spey cast but idealy u want something with a stick back end that tapers down like a spey line would.. my two favroties would be the loop opti stream and teh airflow 40+....... there are a few other lines out there that cast nice with single spey but having a two tone line with a green or orange shooting head with a yellow or white running line makes things much easier!!!
  12. u should be fine for ice conditions dude unless we get some major cold too prolong the ice melt.. the fish should start too be staging by then....... but not all fish go too spawn and not all stage at teh same time so u should have more than enough fish too go around
  13. were abouts are you fishing dude? i like articulated flies! most streamers i fish are 2-5 inches long for most trout fishing...

    nice brown dude!
  15. that is because its your lucky day!!!!!
  16. sweet dude!!!!!
  17. sweet pics dude looks like a hell of a trip! was ifshing goof for me last sunday! i jsut missed yall!
  18. sweet dude! shpould be a fun stick too mess around with for trout!!!!
  19. Should be a good seminar.. Wayne is awesome!!!!!!!!! really knows his stuff when it comes to lakes! I recommend anyone to stop by if they want to know more about lake fishing!
  20. wish i could have made it! lastyear was great too stop by and say hello in between runs..... NEXTYEAR forsure!.
  21. i started tying what i could then went too super hardcore cool realistic stuff now i just tye simple 2 or 3 material fleis that i can crank out 20-50 a hour so i can spend more time fishing and have madd amounts for me and my clients or friends too lose in trees, under rocks, fishes yaps etc........ BUT its all how u like too tye em dude! if a 40 minute nymph works better for u giver i think the casting rigging fishing method etc is WAY more crutial than the fly.. i dotn think have the best vision and in places were they get the hell fished out of them even a well presented fly cant be passed by.......
  22. any way u choose really... to me it dont matter.. pretty flies catch fish but buggy mangled flies catch more fish!!!!! best way too keep the hackles all nice if u wish would be too stick then on teh face of teh bump not the ramp........ if that makes any sense!!! best part is do it how u like it!!!!!!!!!!!!
