  1. how about jstu mannin up and letting your hands get use too it.. i freakin hate gloves.. have used em form time too time but found that i would rather fish without em..... first few freezes suck but my hands toughen up and its all good for the rest of the season...... iced up rods are apart of the game.. after all its freakin winter
  2. dope dude.. if u wana go give it a wiggle one of these weekends lemmie know..... i can show ya the ins n outs no prob....
  3. u out there awating the football game
  4. what the "super duper ill phat tight dope trout slayin madd maxx edition"? nahh thats in the works but not by loomis...... but seriously that "max glx rod".. pretty creepy dude...... and that log jam pic..... even creepier...... maybe they are stealing my mojo i think my head jsut swelled from a 7 n 3/4 too a 7 n 7/8's lmao think i shoudl demand royalties dutch can u be my agent?
  5. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU*K UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GREG was up in ******** lake actually when he called.... and was a killer trip but next sept B........ OH ITS ON BUDDY ITS ON!!!!!!!!!!
  6. that rod line combo sucks.. needs a opti reel..... like it only switch casts the full line no prob every freak time and overhand casts further if u had more runningline...... who needs that......
  7. there are some sucd populations in teh bow.. mostly living in the inside bends, large back eddies, above weirs etc........ i ahve had some success with them from time too time... some places can be deadly fishin scuds in the early summer but i havnt really targeted them all the time nor is it a go too fly of mine.
  8. DUUUUUUUUDE u SUCK thank again for callin meon such short notice...... serious..... sick pics tho meng!!!!!!!
  9. thats a tough one dude.. fishin in teh parks are we? the lead free wire would be your best.. tying streamers? or nymphs? if it were nymphs u can get the tungesten sheet material.... another option would be too buy some sort of metal wire at a hardware store but it might not have the same weight u are looking for... the tungsten sheet stuff u could wrap a ton on a streamer hook and get some mega weight but u will have some pricey flies if u need alot of it.... try tying your flies sparly with less water obsorbant materials on heavy gauge wire hooks... like the salmon dudes out east..... or use bigger tips... htats what ive bin upto latley.. less lead in my flies n more in the tips... more info would be great dude and i might be able too help ya out a little more.. get ur table of elements and find otu wich metals are heavier than lead and see if u can track down some wire at a specialty shop? try welding supplies, electrical, craft stores etc....
  10. i hear ya dude! gotta love the bugs! its whats for dinner! and those last ones were taken on teh bow...
  11. u can put them in viles with rubbing alcohol but it fades the colors.. i jsut try and snap some decent shots riverside so i can get a decent idea of color.... had a huge collextion once but had the same problem so i said enough and tossed em and started with more photos.....
  12. lmao i posted the prong photo.... this one should get me banned..... golden stone f*ck fest 08... the males ahve teh shortwings and do not fly.. the females are the ones we see most flying and crawling on teh water........
  13. oddly enough outta all teh bugs i got stones i ahve the least photos of.... lmao.... gotta get on that next year..... now this one is a little dark.. i found her floating in teh water.. so she has darkened up form teh early stages of decay...but u can see roughly what u want.. this is a shot of a bunch of males n females mating.. u can see the odd under eblly on a few of them but not full images.. but it should give u a rough idea..... hope that helps dude!
  14. adult golden stones are more of a tan than a yellow.. from what i have seen.. they have a slight yellow tint too em.. hwat i like too do is tye tan foam patterns and take a yellow sharpy and add a little yellow too em....... same with salmonflies i tye em in grey and add some peach too em.... will dig thorugh my photos and see what i got dude!
  15. i usa ultra wire in a ton of colors for alot of stuff for johns i like the "fine" fir 20 n 18 i iuse the "small" for 16 and 14 and the medium for the 10 and 12s.. large i use mainly on streamers, stones and such..... hope that helps dude wire from old electronics are great too if u want the copper color wire but for any otehr color u gotta buy sumn different.. check out craft stores too.. got alotta cool things there.. was diggin through soem old x-mas tree stuff lastyear and ofund that the tinsel for the trees is deadly for flashabou! everythiung out tehre is usably if u can think of it.. binders make great thinskin is u have em in teh right color...
  16. for casting u cannot beat henrik mortensons dvd's he ahs 4 of them and they are un freakin believable.. covers everything single and double handed that there possibly is.... only vid's i watch too learn from......
  17. i think he means wondering around and finding teh spot on your own.. or maybe with a little direction from a pal os ok too.. hell even a pm were only u and the person u are telling knows is alright.. but once u tell one or two people and they tell a few and so on and so forth alot of pressure can get put on a peticular spot stream or lake for tha tmatter.......
  18. lmao when the oilers are in or on teh way too the cup finals i will cheer for any otehr team except them.. i promise..... got in a argument with alotta flames fans who wanted the cup too be back in canada.. and hell iwould love too see any cup team except edmonton win teh cup...... falmes first ofcorse them teh rest of teh canadian teams then the 20 some odd yankee team and oilers are dead last in my books.......
  19. ahhhh kummonnnnnnn u can tmake any exceptions.. thats alotta rules for some stupid boat ride.......
  20. well said dude.. ive got teh same opinion or feelings about sage, my whole flyfishing life.... only because alot of people have the view taht... that if its not sage u dont own teh best rod out there...... i got a friend that owns a rod aorund 100 bucks and prefers his 300 foller one more after owning and fishin them both.... weird i know but.. if u like tossing that stick giver! a few more stick that you might want too try would be some g-loomis sticks.. if i recall they have a 13ft4inch 7wt (not 100% on taht tho) if u are looking too toss skagit and streamers.. they have a wider grain window.... teh deer creek is a nice rod aswell i prefer somethinga little faster myself.. the scierra stuff is nice aswell... but its all what you like the feel of in your hands... because that is the best way.. name should be so image orientated. btu thats marketing for ya....
  21. so tuna marlin or sharks captain weedy? i got some speys u can toss around...... maybe fish three flies and hook all 3 at teh same times... with a spey u can do that u no.... i can teach u too! and when are u freakin pickin me up... bin sittin atop my hows for a few days now with the laptop waiting... freaking cold up hear......
  22. yea u cannot wonder on teh island..... but according too teh CO u can walk teh banks no prob.. jstu stay below teh highwater mark.. the bird sanctuary im not too sure aobut tho......
  23. ROFLMAO that is a gooder dude.. im beginning too liek u.. tripp sense or humor.... CLASSIC!!!!! kinda reminds me the day someone posted a google map of fishcreek but blacked out teh whole river and said that the secret spot was right "hear"
  24. workin OT this weekend will ge ttoo the nextone.. i have a few switch lines u could try dick.. another awsome bet would be the airflow 40+ or loop opti stream line.... bin messing around with em on my switch and i like em.... overhand cast amazing too... beulah also makes a nice switch line.. i got one kickin around and bin using it for the last half year or so before i started messing around with the 40+ and opti lines
