nicely done everybody! the entries are now closed and i will get a poll up after the flames game!!! thanks too all who submitted and goodluck!!!!!

yea according too tsn thats is the pending trade drew.. kotalik has too waive his no trade clause too 1 of the 3 teams he dosnt want too trade for (guess who is one of the tops 3) time will tell if this goes well but i think sutter is clearing space too sign a few dudes on or off our team at the end of the season... this might jstu be a shake up for the rest of te team.. the toronto deal i like forsure! and olli wanst doing a whole hell of a lot really....... but ultimatly.. lets see what happens with the end result come playoff time... i gots faith in sutter!

this months challenge is almost done! submit you entires! i will have a poll up and next months challenge at the beginning of febuary!

the writer makes some sence!

brad fishing lead in teh parks is illegal.. even if u tied a small wooly bugger i would bet that over half of the weight of your fly would be lead.. easy.. if not more.. u htink some marabou, chenille and a hackle fibre outweight half dozen lead wraps? so u are only technically allowed" 1% and 50% of your flies weight is lead.. ur done... all fishing store in the parks also sell non lead weights lures beedhead flies etc because it is illegal.. u could fight it but u would get fined .. guarnteed

its getting frustrating that is forsure.. seems all teh dudes are snakebit.. every game we have a few almost sure things and we hit the post, puck hops, waite a half second too long too pull the trigger........ we are slowly turning the corner i suppose but HOLY F*CK at this rate we will be joining the leafs.. im not too concerned i figure we shall make it.. but if the avs n nucks keep it up we will be playing for 8th spot!

from what ive seen for most fishing 7 n 8 wt switches in the 11 ish foot range seems too be the most popular... with casting most people seems too talk about double overhand casting with scandi lines.. i think it all matters on what type of fish u are targeting .. for pink salmon i think a 5wt would be nice but if its larger salmon/bigsea run browns.. u might want a 7 or 8wt?

nicely done!!!!!!!

this is something everyone needs too send letters in too! if not our rivers with irrigations (bow and oldman to name two) will suffer greatley.. they will be drained more and more like this year with no rain too fill the farmers fields.. a good friend once mentioned on how alberta was a frekain desert and alot of the crops we grow are water suckers.. not ideal for our eastern climate.. so the farmers want mroe water! and our streams n resivoirs will suffer!

it sounds like a cool idear.. this was brought up a few years back and turned into a 10 page fight.. good too see more people are on board for this!

i had a blast! it was nice too meet a bunch of yall who swung by the whistler flyfishing booth or around the expo! and put faces too names aswell as bumping into old friends i have not seen in a while! i had a blast doing the tying demos aswell!!!!! hope everyone had a good time!!!!!!!!! tighltines!!!!!!

u betcha darren.. i **** chatted with him lastyear at the expo! hes got it goin on!

u got it dude.. pelicans seem too have them nailed down in regards too catching them... have seen it done many nights... im sure there are other problems too but its amazing too watch on te bow.... drives me nuts personally.. wish we could take the pelicans down legally..... i hardly see whites compared too my youth... useto be easy too get dozens of them.. now only certain time of year when they are stacked up can u get a decent number of them....

dope flies! i liked that clip in skagit master.. and the link from speypages is badass! i prefer seal fur for the bump and polaebear for te collar aswell!!!! but its all in waht u make of it! look at all th bugger varients out there... same dealio!!

i like how they talk aobut the bow in that one too .. sure the bow is blue ribbon and has the higher amount of guides on it but they are all catch n release.. so why would it matter whens in the flesh???? i kinda like the hyp tho! make all rivers catch n release only!

u make a excellent point dude.. wonder if they have done any studies on these water bodies too see if the mercury gets into th resivoirs fish too?

biggest ive seen barnes is about 3 lbs 21 inches... big browns can behave similar before they wake up! ive bin in a pod of cracker fish before then hooked a big brown who played possum for a minute then finally burned me on a good run/jump/roll!

drive the highway too hell up too ft .mac dude.. had too pull over for halfdozen cop cars leading the way lastyear for a mega load being brought up .. was the biggest object trucked into that area on record i guess.. was all over the radio.. had 4 semis hooked up together on front and 4 hooked up on back in a box formation with a couple hundred foot load, not sure how many trailers of a spaceship/refinery looking thing.. was unreal.. took up 2 lanes!!! crazy co-ordination too them truckers all on radios too make sure tehy didnt break the braces bolting all the trucks together!!

u could try manning up buckaroo! i stick 5 or 6 laters of duct tape n kick back watch te flames game n wrap em in my hand!!!!!!

its all in what you like dude.. all i do is production tie.. started the year off with 200 chenille worms n 200 leeches, then too 300 midge pupae n larvae, onto caddis larvae n pupae 200 of each, 100 stone nymph, 550 copperjohns in a few sizes n colors, 150 princes, 75 boatman... and a few other things.. then did close too 1000 dries for the bow n cutties.. whenever i get burnt out i tie random stuff for a night or two.. then back too work... hardest part its staying focues.. it does get hella redundant.. but if u only take out those materials n hooks n foce it u can have 50-100 flies a night done in no time... i recommend too any of my budies too force yourself too start with a pack of 50 hooks n 50 beeds n just make that one fly or maybe 25 of each 2 different colors.. so on n so forth.... u get really good at doing flies quick when u jsut did (25 copperjohns 12 in black n 25 in copper, then do em in 14, then 16 and progressivly work down too get good at te small stuff) i fish around 15 different nymphs and 25 different dries but my n my clients use lots of them... do a search u will find out that the "top 10" nymphs dries streamers etc has bin covered a few times...

remeber too hang your fly lines.. 10 feet or so from the rafters in your basement... by some heat.. but not too hot.. i find it helps seap out the water soaked into the core and u dont halfto chop off some of your taper if you give it a good week or two~! then u can seal up a dry core!

lmao that was a fun day!

bang on flyon!!!!!! they are way more active in the winter and fight better compared too winter trout!

congrats bezz for winning decembers fly of the month contest!!!
