damn post whores

yea that game was tough too watch.. what was up with bourque hooking up that comulbo dude with that killer pass in teh slot....... guess they are conserving the energy and brainpower for tommorow....

i agree gil 100% i jsut dont get why people post em.. popular, well known spot or not send a freakin pm

from ehat ive heard u cannot walk n wade the bird sanctuary.. but u can float on by.. teh main channel by fishcreek is open too fish teh u cannot walk on the island there is signs all over the place.. some rare bird uses it too nest this n that so ive gotten yelled at form teh fishcop once.. he said i can walk on teh rocks along the shoreline tho....

policemans is popen... iceman u gotta be kidding..... hot nymphs ofr me right now area red or black midges.. dotn halfto be snowcones... any midge works, princes hares ears and phtails copper johns or whatever are working good too..... same with stones, juans, leeches etc... the tough part abtou this time of year is finding the thermoclyne in some buckets n wahtnot were fish are stacked up thick... so work the water fast and if you found a couple u should be into a few dozen no problem.... streamers ahve ibn great for me in th eveenings aswell...

i use borax... get feathers from hunting buds all the time.. fur too... never had a problem.. then wash in hot water.. if you ever find your featehrs curl on you or curve.. iron em like u would your clothes on a low setting, learned it from a dude who ties fancy flies and needs them pretty feathers perfect

as for reels i would say big and cheap... u dont halfto spend much.. pfleuger, reddington, tioga, dan bailey, scierra, loop and a whole bunch of otehr makers have 10+wt reels for a decent price in and around that 100 doller range... u can fish a smaller reel but the only issue is backing.. if your trout or pike fishing u wont see much backing so u wont need more than 50 yards.. hell 25 yards.. but if u dont want too get spooled (very unlikely but ive had it happen and teh fishgods like too mess with ya once and a while)its best too get a larger reel so u can put 100-300 yards of backing.. if your fishing salmon n steelhead i would say get a reel with 200 yards of backing easy jsut too be super safe....

spey lines are bascially broken down into 2 sections but 4 parts.. too me i see it as traditional: long lines- they are just that long lines with long heads usually a 120 foot line with a 60-80 foot head midbellies- these are "shorter long lines" or mid lengthed lines. usually 45-55 feet u can shoot the ehads on long or mid belly lines too u must get the longer head out first and dont expect too be shooting much if any line( im not a huge fan or the traditional stuff, too much work) new school: scandinavian shooting heads(scandi lines/weight forward heads)- these are shooting heads... usually 36-45 feet. skagit lines- these are much shorter lines usually 30-36feet, they are thicker and have no taper or very little compared too a scandi lines i would do a bunch of reading before i would by anything. i went and casted a dozen or more rods and halfdozen lines including all 4 types of lines before i went and bought most stuff(except a huge yellow stick i have on teh shelf for 4 ish years and another salmon stick at a great deal cuz i dotn think.. i will use em someday) if anyone wants too toss some scandi or skagit lines i do have a 14ft 9wt 12 foot 6 8wt 12foot 6wt and a switch rod.... fishtales also demo's stuff... they should have soem lines(probably one or two of each style) and some spey rods too.....

will this message self destruct captain?

but the rest of teh woman are fair game? if so we gots a deal!

I've always loved you idiots using the "Clients" term. I'll tell you something. If I hire a guide I'm not his fricking "Client", he's my whore. Yes you got it, my river slut, pond hooker, stream hustler, sewer slut, water tramp......arrrggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!" i think some "clients" get that in the panflit ro whatever my outfitters send em in the email.... but seriously 99.99999999% of em are dope cats!

thanks for posting dude!

when first getting into the spey deal i found it overwhelming with teh lines rod length etc. i feel i have a pretty good idea on what its all aobut.. no well seasoned on teh salmon/steelie fishing but i haev don esome pike/ bully / trout fishing with all of my rods and i have figured this out so far... long line and mid belly lines were the traditional spey lines.. still around today but they were origanly designed too toss dryflies and traditional wets great distances... they work great if u want your fly too go far and swing down and across.. probably good for lakes with chronnies n whatnot too but u will halfto shake out a 50-80+ foot head before you recast.. scandi style shooting heads are basically a weight forward line in teh high 30 too low 40 foot range. they were designed too fish in close and if need be the caster wants more distance oyu shoot your line(like a wt forward line) the runing lines you can buy in 100feet typically and most lines that come with running lines are 80feet ish. there is also some mono running lines usually a flat beam(much ebtter for extra distance btu they do coil more specially in teh cold btu limpin them with a light stretch gets it out no prob)scandi lines i love for nymphing dryflies, emergers and small streamers BUT i find they do not turn over decent sized sink tips all that well nore do they cast larger flies well. that is were skagit come in. htey were developed by the western steelie/salmon fisherman too cast large sinktips and bigger bulky (oftern heavy) flies. skagit line usually come in teh low 30foot range and some compacts are in the high 20foot range. once again they are great for fishing in close and if you wish too fish further you shoot line (like a weight forward line) i personally figured i would be a longline and mid belly guy before i got into the game but since hten its all about the scandi lines and if needed (bully fishing, pike fishing, bigger sink tips, double streamer rigs etc.) i fish a skagit line that gives me the same functions(varied casting distances at will) as the scandi line but with some extra beef too fish bigger junk.. i feel both prettymuch cast equaly as well in teh wind u jstu need too throw a tighter loop(skill more than line desine) as for what yall figure if it were for pike and other larger prey with larger flies i would say skagit lines are key! u can toss the bigger tips and larger flies no problemo, as for rods lengths n weights i feel 8wt or even a 7wt is fine for pike n eyes(they dotn take huge runs and oyu done need mega rods) a 8wt would be good for both steelie/most salmon and bully fishing with a skagit setup.. as for length i feel 11 1/2 foot too 12 1/2 foot would be great.. that will allow you too tuck into some tighter spots with less back casting room but a rod in the 12-13 foot range might be more prefered for better line mamagement at distance/line lifting power. as for your i feel a 6wt or 7wt is more than enough too deal with fish in the 20-30inch range no problemo... switch rods are also great for trout fishing! and if you plan on doing more of a nymph/skating dries/smaller streamer deal i would recommend a scandi line it has a softer presentation when hitting the water versus skagit but mainly because u dont has the big tip or larger flies on with also makes for a less subtle presentation... hope that makes sence too yall and gordy, brian, pete or anyone else have anything too add or feel free too correct do so

the last couple of pages have bin awsome!!!!! cant waite too get on night *hit so i can do a little morning fishing!!! MTB u suck! its snowing down here so u might aswell stay up working on your week off! 1morecast u got it dude! well said!
