maxwell

bin experamenting with shanks the past month and heres a few pics on what ive bin messing around with and the possabilities megs bully flies... all call it the "double double bunny"..originally tied and fished this fall with a kerry stevens for the back half, but soon too be a double shank with a little gammy dangling ....more like some of teh steelehad flies that use similar principals... ive bin using palomar knots and 35lb gorilla braid i had kickin around

uh yea dude...like i said..havnt sepnt teh money...shanks are same *hit different pile...fine with me not too mention my jointed bully flies...10+inch doubl doubl bunnies no problem...

tubes and shanks are graet..havnt really got into them yet..but yes its more effective....putting a smaller hook on the end of the tube or shank i think loses less fish too rolling off teh streamer....ive bin tying alot of bully flies with those shanks lately....seems too be the way too go talking too euorpeans and coastal fisherman...havnt picked up teh tool u put in teh vice too tye on teh tubes yet...havnt bought nothing but shanks in a few months and after all my hook supplies are done ill be using shanks only i figure for streamers....

lmao...catch biggah feesh win biggah truck lmao...who else entered?

lonefisher i think u prettymuch nailed it dude...

hey dude sorry if i offended ya...ask any of my friends..i think u have fished with rick..im hectic..wish i could fish with all of you..trying freakin hard and meeting tons of memebrs daily and easily shook hands with 100 or more of ya since ffc started 3 years back.....hard too meet everyones demands tho...ask lk and dave...or anyone else.....i ditched em half dozen tiems this year too meet a group from ffc...and on teh otehr hand i like too fish by meself and with a few of my close friends who are or ant mods and big posters on this site....keep up teh good work..u have bin out tons meng....i have bin reading....aint that what its about.....the fishing and time on teh water? no who has more friends or who fishes with who... this we need our own lil girl challenge...my lil sis katie vs. lil rocknbugs?...

i think for teh bigger stuff this logo will work well and for teh smaller hats and whatnot bowcrows trout would be simple quick and easy for hats toques etc....could ya give me a few fingers under the fishes belly by the pecs..or is it a lil too much detail cant remeber if this was brought up...the caligraphy style one matches the flyfishcalgary faunt better but that can be changed too....will halfto re-read...

my july started in june and ended in august..talk the peeps at troutfitters when you work next or any flyshop/outfit..they will tell u the same...july is "the month"...stampede..warmest days...peek toursim...... im still up for a competition...playdoh..thanks for offering your services...much appreciated...think we need too revamp things a bit and maybe refigure some teams....

im game for wutever but from may-sept im prettymuch booked....july was a 33 outta 36 days guided for me this year...i cant manage any time to do jack but catch up on sleep and toss a line here and hter eon my days off...and october is all bullies really...fakit if need me i suppose...gotta pay the bills

brownstone's in..YARR BROTHERRR!!!

take off eh... thats canadian not gangsta

how the hell can even a spey rod post turn into another freakin JETBOAT POST.....

i here the cry on overkill and spey being a 100% always used tool...i for one am not on that path...like in runoff and any dryfly situation ...gonna be single for me...same with smaller streams...unless theres bulltrout...up in the mountains a spey is overkill i think....yes spey its traditionally a coastal/euro thing... but! ive bin practicing my "surfcasting" wich is overhanding two handed rods...with practice 60 is a joke 80+ is easily reached and 100+ aint outta teh question...this open a WHOLE NEW WORLD FOR US FLYFISHIN ALBERTANS EH ...nextyear i plan on fishing bigger boddies of water for... pike walleye lakers and whatver else is a biggun and willing too bite...thinkin of the possabilities in a pontoon with 15ft of t14 a 30+ head and 100 feet of belly line...TROLLIN TEH DEPTHS lmao, they make full sinkin head and intermediat head too if u prefer that .....offshore humps, dropoffs etc...60+ feet of water no prob..lastyear i made a fly for a laker and this year i hope i can get a chance too get out and give it a go....people are fishin halibut.........now spey...the rollcast....as shore fisherman backasting room can be an issue....i love swingin streamers and pupae and stones and a 100+ foot swing, casting past teh shithole pipes...fishin hullswood form shore and otehr things like that is freakin comical TOO ME and a new test TOO ME and thats y i love it...the roll itself is a artform.... i love(like tying flies)...whips are cool...my heratige is rancher/trapper/fisher through and through...YEEHAA BEEYAA lmao!! get ur bullwhips and start practicing ur snakerolls and d loops kids!.....education is elevation in my world...

andy my brother i bought a spey a few years back knowin the intent of the cast/technique....however i spent a few eyars learning the casts single handed....my hommie toolman seen its pros on the distance and ease of fishing....picked it up and has bin hyping it since.... too some is it a fad...i think so...sort of...i for one find spey casting too be the most efficient way too dump bomb casts....nymphing and streamers.....tell me one person who can fish the midriver trench from shore with less than 15ft of back cast and still mend and hook that hog with a single hander ..cast after cast...and believe me ive bin trying.....you get longer drifts, cover more water...and with a 13' 4" 5/6 noodle a 14 inch feels like a 20.....i think ignorance is bliss in this situation and some will spey and otehrs wont....its jsut finally hit alberta...hop on teh bus hop offf...

patience yung hoppa....first and formost i went with it cuz i was already selected for ur team, before even reading or postin..practice as in...all the nymph, streamer, dry etc....not too mention mends, rigs and what not i use..i wasnt even going too bring out the double handed speys ...rather...teach you and the rest how too spey with a single handed rod, double hall and whatever else yall wana learn. that i can teach......but i rolled it around in my head and figured i aint that "yung" lmao.... and would rather laugh with my hommies than break my balls trying too teach yall how too be better fisherman...plus the more teams thebetter! as for what is going too go on...i think toolman laid it down a few posts back...skills comp...as in ... mends...cast..not bigger fish and 100 foot casts...hell that 100er would onyl win in the furthest distance part of the whole show.....this aint no certified master caster challenge either btu an event too help build our community...u digin it now...please lets see more teams...i wana to meet all of yall

sorry dude u can have the captain of team young gun..i gotta stay true too my hommies...its all the love of flyfishin...and they wana practice soon...so team..YARRR BROTHERR!!! maxwell LK2 maximum and the others were waiting on.....sorta weres team oluns??? dryfly adc don a barry m jim m ? thats a scary team....

missed lastyear, will make thisyear..ill try and drag toolmandown too and see if he can leave the sepy athome for a day too fish this lil river "proppa"

i here ya 100% dino and back ya all teh way..was and still am using teh spey long before i got two hands on a rod..prettymuch all about the rolls unless its really breezy or its dryfly..then its overhand time.....have bin meaning too make a pro's versus cons paragraph...jsut need too take a lil time too stop fishin....thanks for bringin this up tho dude...
