maxwell

and a few from my oilsand assault lastspring with my birthday/personal best piker!

here are my favorites from the bow this year!!!

last months voting is almost done ladies n gents!!! still got some time so make your vote!

like mark metioned ther are dropping the aeg line of loop single handed rods.. they were a updated version of the greyline series rod same as the mutli sticks.. its was a pretty cool idea and a way too get a incredible stick for less than the multi price! for what the troutbum rods are at now they are a steal and are arguabl one of the best rods for that price easy!!!!1 i won a few and use the 5wt often for light nymphs and hopper dropper rigs!!!!!!

yes, tha god of bigguh feesh!

i like the hook point up.. i try too get the fish hooked in the top part of the jaw.. feel i have a little more control over the fish, also i feel i dont hook as much debri when drifting lower in the water column.. but i have a bunch of friends who swear the hook holds better if its in the fishes lower jaw..... so its all up too paith i suppose!

here are a few of my favorites.. was having a hard time picking so i jsut grabbed my most memorable ones from the mountain streams in oh9! will get some of my bow river ones up after the foozeball game......

dude u gotta understand taht those bulk cones sold at a shop need indvidual packaging, labeling, marketing, shipping, brokerage fees and someone has too get paid for each of these processes too get them from a 3rd world factory all the way too your local shop.. personally i support my local shops for almost all of my stuff except the things that i cannot get at my local shop... BRB is right.. those who choose to not shop local in the end are the reason the local retailers go out of business or have trouble selling items.. then dont carry peticular products then get flack frmo locals for not haveing 1 pack of everythinhg in there shop...

i like the cheapo attachment i pickup up! i dont use the needles with the ball on the end.. just the longer tapered one... works well for any tube imho!

they fit snug but dont jiggle aroud.. are u making sure the end of the tube isnt flared out before sliding it on?

i here ya dude! its all about mass production and tying the flies that i need for the upcoming season! i personally agree with buying quality materials over quantity but for some who are getting into tying or dont have a ton of expendable cash too get top notch hooks, feathers or wuteverdont justify it.. kinda like rods reels and line! do u only own highend 1000-2000 doller rod reel line combos BRB? i think alot of people get into flytying got the artistic/creative side of things and love too get new materials/mediums too create new flies with and what is wrong with that? is it hurting your pocketbook that someone buys things they dont need but want? or are u just looking to stur the pot?

gotta be one of the best things uve said in all of your posts dude!!!!!! tons of good rods out there for that price.. what i tell anyone who wants too spend on high end gear or any gear for that matter is... i would test drive a ton of stuff from a bunch of top companies not just one and see what works best for me!!!!!!! and compae the components aswell!!!!!! i know wayne lives in lethbridge b ut if i have the chance i would bomb too calgary before i bought anything and hit up a few flyshops!

u nailed it sundance! i doubt the devils will pick him up.. was a good trade for a cup run with a dude who wants too make madd cash... i can only see a few teams who might sign him at that price! it will be a interesting summer!E

jeebus! what a dealio for the devils! will be interesting too see how he does on a hardcore defensive team!

the opti adjustable reel seat is a schweeeeeeeeeet idear.. specialy for the longer spey rods they havbe em on.. makes it easier with all the new lightweight large arbor reels out there too help balance out the stick!!!! i hope they put it on alot more of there speys!

not a bad win tonight! we played pretty good.. looked puck hungry.. some good passing play and glenscross played great on the 4th line... really skated hard again.... not too worried about out past trades.. look way back.. we traded giguere... he turned out too win a cup ring with the ducks... or when i was just a kid we traded some hall of famers away and the upside was we won the cup.... im sure we have traded away alot more "talent" that worked out for another team... i would figure most teams have done that alteast once!! trades happen...... we had too do something.. the current team was playing like a bunch of jokers... i like who we have now... prust will be back.. he is a free agent and twice already he has comeback after being traded away by sutter..... its also hard too say if sutter is really done!

burbs just roll around.. kinda like a sucker i suppose.... ive pulled a few out of the bow.. will post a few pics tommorow! cool too see on the end of your line when your expecting something else!they have very poor vision ive read and mainly feed at night (useto slay em afterdark icefishing) and i think they depend on smell more than there eyes too find food! BUT a buddy who frequents fishcreek slays a dozen or more a year easy on the leech pattern in the frogwater!

ive had a couple pms in regards too this today and as i see it alot of te big trudes, stimulator, chernobyl, dave.whitlock hopper, foam bugs or something big and bushy oldschool style that would double for either of the two bugs i listed (grasshoppers n stoneflies) so any big bushy fly is good unless you wish too get specific/realistic with either of te two bugs!

i like 4 piece and really dig a few of my 3 piece rods...

the poll is up for lastmonths contest "stonefly nymphs"! hopefully we can get more people submitting in this months theme! grasshopper/stonefly dries!! let see some big bushy dryflies!!!!!!! the winner will be voted in by all forum members! judges by cleanness of tye, creativity in the variation and fish catching ability(hopefully)!!!!! the winner will recieve a free one year subscription too FLYFUSION MAGAZINE and at the end of the tying season (april) we will vote on the top winners from each month for a bigger prize once the winter is done and the season begins! what's required? picture of fly name of the fly recipe for the fly please post official entries on this page only! this month we will start it off easy the theme is "grasshopper/stonefly driess"! yall will have too the end of the month too submit your entries!

alright we will have till febuary 15th too vote for this months winner!
