I make a habit of going ice fishing once every five years with my brother in law, no more, no less. Last time I checked it was 3-1 for me.

Quit yer frickin whining, 98 days for me since the last trout. (Nov 3) I don't even have the nasties yet, you boys need to learn some patience.

That's freaky. I bet you were catching fish and throwing them back?

Everything is fishing related, stick your posts wherever you want to.

I could take him, trained or not.

I prefer to call it shitting your pants. Can anyone here translate what he's saying? He seems rather calm, almost too calm.

Interesting idea,but of course, like anything in life, it will cost. http://findmespot.com/explorespot/spotmessenger.aspx?sid=bn

I had an instructor tell our class on the first day we met him "I'm not here to teach this course, I'm here to teach you how to teach yourselves." My point? As much as many would love to believe that life is full of examples, it simply isn't. Teaching young students how to think and be resourceful is far more useful than having them memorize textbooks.

Three fly fishermen are sitting around a campfire, out on the lonesome prairie, each with the bravado for which fly fisherman are famous. A night of tall tales begins. The first says, "I must be the meanest, toughest fly fisherman there is. Why, just the other day, a bull got loose down by the creek and gored six men before I wrestled it to the ground, by the horns, with my bare hands." The second can't stand to be bested. "Why that's nothing. I was walking down the trail yesterday and a fifteen foot rattler slid out from under a rock and made a move for me. I grabbed that snake with my bare hands, bit its head off, and sucked the poison down in one gulp. And I'm still here today." Fishhead remained silent, slowly stirring the coals with his penis.

Some refinement using 6 hour glow thread, or so the claim. I'll test it and see how long it will glow.

Happy B'day Rickr. Enjoy the year to come.

Now if you could find a transparent hook you'd be set. Great idea Don, let us know how they turn out.

I hope you didn't pay him. I would have told him to FO when he phoned to say he would be late. There is only one well known guide I know of that I think would have the balls / stupidity / audacity / arrogance to bring his dog. I won’t say who I think it is as I’m sure everyone could choose their own.

Maybe it's a good day to learn a new trick. Try this if you're bored. (Congrats on the awards BTW.) Click here if the movie does not play.

Lone - I don't know what the material is or where I bought it. I was doing some clean up of material the other night when I pulled this stuff out, shut the light off when I was leaving the room and noticed it glowing. Maybe someone will know. I have a bad memory for names of things I tie onto tiny hooks, it's just not at the top of my "Things To Remember" priority list.

I think this is about the only reason something such as this may work, simply as an attractor. Any fish would probably come on any other flies attached.

This was tied out of curiosity. The bead will glow for a good period of time whereas the body fades out quickly. I'm curious to know if the phosphorous would trap light when the fly is fished at deep depths where light penetration becomes an issue. These should be fun to test this spring, or not. Lights On Lights Off

That's what you did last year! Wouldn't exactly call that a backup plan now would you?

So what's your plan Tako? Centre street bridge with Taco? He'll need someone to keep him warm......

Yah I forgot about Getty's contribution. I really shouldn't complain though as a good chunk of my work has come from the renovations the rural hospitals have been through. Thanks Don and Peter.

The majority of the small town hospitals, school, and old folk homes in rural Alberta were built during the Lougheed times. It was a ridiculously huge waste of coin and nothing more than a way of getting votes. The disappearing act of small town Alberta also has to do with changes in the farming industry. Not many mom and pop operations out there anymore.

Those ponds are interesting, haven't seen anything like it. I like how they have grid lined the bottoms of the ponds. Must make for a perfect are to practice those spey casts. http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http...6CA256%26sa%3DN Click on the "(click here for a full panoramic view of The Golden Gate Angling & Casting Club).
