  1. so she paints troutlike marking then covers em in bugs? dudes htats some trippy stuff!
  2. giving long term contracts to iggy, phaneuf and any other player is fine IMHO jsut not goalies.. since 04 we have givin him a few big bucks and now a 4 year deal and HE SUCKS... iggy has played good same with dion.. wutta ya expect 50 goals in 5 games gimmie a breakk. iggy always starts out slow.. and dion is amazing 28 minutes a game he is averaging right now MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN TE LEAGUE both of them deserve a 10 year deal.. there albertan and amazing players.... bert and camelleri are both on the last year of there contract and trying too make a thick paycheck nextyear DUHHH players play amazing all t time.. check out huselius lastyear........ kipper.. needs too live life on te edge the only years he was god were his first 2 when he didnt have a nice longterm big buck deal.. giv eihm big money but only 2 year deals so he hasto keep it together and earn it... iggy has earned every penny and will continue to do so... he has 3 points and lanks has 6 and who do u figure they are playing with.. bert..... were the **** do u think he is getting set up from. lay off iggy cuz u aint watching the whole game....... what about the backchecking.. lanks n iggy do most of it.. bert hardly does...... its a team game like u said and jsut cuz bert has 5 goals and igy has one dont mean its going too be berts team.... hes our captain and does alot for our team INCLUDING FIGHT WHEN THE REST ALL BITCH OUT .. regehr is playing good to.. he isnt a goal scorer never ever has bin.. he plays solid D that is what he has and always does.....so expecting him too get madd points is IMHO foolish.. and hey kip has helped us get to the playoffs but we cant get pasat the first round ... another first round chokeout aint good enough for this born n raised flames fan....... and your big money goalie should win u big tim games like in teh playoffs like he did in 04..... shouldnt he? or is jsut making it into the playoff then geting knocked out god enough for you? the only thing keenan is starting too bug me with is mixing up the lines non stop. how the hell is anyone suppose to gel when u never play mre than a shift or two with one another.. he wasnt doing too too to much the last game but the first 4 it was non stop!
  3. no its the longterm contract and big money...... im all for big money jsut no longterm deal too make someone feel comfortable and stop competing......... specially a goalie

    i would say you need too try different surrent speeds, se the hook harder and make sure too mend.... you indicator should be drifting the same speed as the current if its draifting slower u need too mend down and if its drifting faster you need too mend up. goodluck and tightlines
  13. if you live on the coast i would recommend contacting your local fly shop to see if they have and CERTIFIED spey instructors for private instruction. could be a whole lot clearer figuring out the basics. as for rods teh loop mutli would be agreat choice and stongly recommended but teh echo series of spey's and teh tfo are also great rods for there price. you wond need a super pricey stick too start. specially if you are on te coast fishing i would more recommend a better reel. as for lines and weights its hard too say but something in th 12' 6" - 14' range 8/9 would probably be best for most salmon. if you live in calgary i have a few rods you can swing around if you want too meet up some time. jsut drop me a pm! could show you a few things aswell no problem!

    stacks are you using any weight?(splitshots, twist ons etc.) are you striking on any subtle twitches taps or bobs?(not waiting for it too go down and stay down like a bobber and worms) are you fishing 1, 2, or 3 flies?(shouldnt be too important) are you fishing deep enough( bringin up stuff fm bottom occasionally) how heavy is your tippet?(shouldnt reall matter as long as its 2x or less) how big are your flies? what type of water are you fishin?(chop, slow and deep, slow and shallow, really fast shallow choppy water) are you mending? (controlling your drift speed) the best thing i could say is start in close and fish you way out. if your indicator is doing nothing you need more weight too get your flies down. you should be fishing 7-8 feet too your first fly and your strike indicator. if you do not strike on every twitch, bump stall, pause on te indicator you will have problems hooking fish.. it will be fish or bottom but there is only one way too find out and its 1000 cast 999 strikes and 20,30 fish or more in a outing.. if you only strike one out of every 20 casts you are only giving yourself a chance to hook a fish 1 out of 20 casts...... common fly patterns right now for this month would be sanjuans and small beedheads size 16 - 20 like pheasent tails, prince nymphs, midge larvae and pupae, caddis larvae. i have bin using 2x tippet but u might find 3 or 4x better for you. you must mend according to your drift. sometimes even more than once. if you se line slack forming upstream mend down or if the line is pulling your indicator downstream mend up. sometimes it will be only once but sometimes 3 or 4 times in a drift. nymphing is work. i prefer to cast as far upstream as possible(i find downstream hooksets less productive on good hooksets) and move you feet once you have exceeded you max cast distance wade further out or walk 10 steps upstream and do it again.. cover water so you can find fish and strike on everything so you can drive the hooks in tehre jaw......
  15. oh hells yea bin targeting em almost exclusively as of late bin fenominal sucker fishin... sorry dude not too sure were u can get some pike food for your tip-ups go fish chain lakes.. tons in there

  18. but is it monic? i for one wouldnt want too buy it.. im sure it will be pricey.... pick up dirt over time. wear out my fingers and make noise..... slick shooter it is for me.. heard good things about SA's monic running line
  19. i dig slickshooter by rio for my skagit setups... it does coil a bit in teh cold but a light stretch will limp it and will fish great
  20. police kicks ass i mean suck...so all of yall should go elsewere and leave that whole place too me and my friends!
  21. so what do u think is a pro? and why do you ask? people need help from someone who has more knowledge than them and htey ask it here? should it be "ask someone more informed " or experts or more experienced?
  22. one shitty game the sky is fallin... kip is notorious for a shitty first quarter.. smae with the whole team.. keenan shifted lines around tons and knowone got in any sort of rhythm.. we were missing regehr wich was a major hit on t defence too..... it was only one game.... one shitty horrible game.. but im not too worried only thing the nuck have is a golaie..who makes a goalie captaiin anyway? and without teh wonder twins they would be worse than edmonsuck......
