  1. When I was 16 I decided to have a little get together one weekend when my folks were away. It happened to be the night of a Black Sabbath concert. My address was given out on the floor of the Edmonton Coliseum. 500 people showed up. I wasn't serving pancakes.
  2. Saturday only, can't stand Calgary for more than a day.
  3. Ya, nothing like a four hour drive back to Edmonton after a donair with special sauce. I remember somebody telling me years ago the burger joint on Southland was great. I tried it just before coming back to Edmonton once. Think Johnny Cash if you know what I mean... I'll keep the Swiss Chalet in mind though... Thanks Brent,
  4. It's in the Equiplex, so yes. So anyone know about the food? I need food, lots and lots of foods, the more the better. So somebody tell me about the food. I don't want to hear "There's a hot dog stand" or "Dairy Queen" is down the street. Come to think of it Rickr's house wouldn't be too far away. Hey Rickr what's for lunch?
  5. Yes Birchy there is a Sasquatch, the only problem is it's on Mars. You can relax now........ or can you? It looks a lot like what has been witnessed on Earth. Did they come from Mars to Earth? Have the Martians invaded the Earth? Is this the beginning of The War of the Worlds. Everyone run, run for your life! http://www.ibnlive.com/news/nasa-images-sp...s/57223-11.html Image from Mars.....................................................Image from Earth
  6. I really have no idea why I posted this except for I googled Fryslân, watched the video, and thought the dog played a great part. If anyone would like to translate, it would be appreciated.
  7. There is a PDF of the grounds layout here: http://www.sprucemeadows.com/aerial.htm Doesn't show any beer tents though Harps, maybe someone will rent a stable and bring a keg.
  8. Are there food and beverage facilities at Spruce Meadows that will be open at the Expo? Also, is there a agenda available for the presenter/presentation times? Thanks
  9. Let me ask this of the "Oh So Knowledgeable Ones". You have a guy that stands 6'6" with arms that dangle down to his knees and has a 50 inch horizontal casting stroke. There's also a 5'6" guy that has a horizontal casting stroke that is approximately 35 inches. They both use the same medium action rod, the same line and have equal casting ability, but the 5'6" guy cannot cast as far as the 6'6" fellow. This is due to the fact the 6'6" guy can accelerate the line to a higher speed within that 50 inch stroke than the poor little guy can within the 35 inch stroke. Would it help the poor little guy to achieve greater distance if he used a faster rod?
  10. I'll trade you. I have a 5wt SLV I can't wait to get rid of. You want one for a 7 weight too?
  11. Well actually I did think several people could have written that article, just not you, or me.
  12. Isn't Colorado State University full of good info? http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/Entomology/...5/corcoran.html Jones, if it is your work say so, if it is from another source please list it.
  13. If anyone has ever seen Tim row a boat you know why he only needs a 30 foot cast, the guy can out run the fish. I think it's cheating but no there he is out at the local potholes chasing them rainbows around the lake.
  14. I've checked out his site before. Nice stuff, the guy has talent. Esleech, the link didn't work for me, here's what I used. http://www.grahamowengallery.com/
  15. Was someone farming Grandma?
  16. Great Sunday read. Other info for you nerds. http://www.common-cents.info/ http://www.superbob.org/CC.htm http://www.superbob.org/CC_Data.htm This PDF is an excellent read - perfect for a Saturday night. castanalysis.com/links/jsv2003.pdf If anyone has any of the papers Spolek wrote I would love to have a look at them.
  17. The fly is wet. 1/4 inch black midge flex hit with a lighter before being tied in half way on hook, Marabou on front half.
  18. Hey nothing better than sitting in a boat staring at an indicator waiting for your brain to go to mush.
  19. Catatonic, I don't do anything that actually involves work.
  20. Midge Flex Leech Yummy, them trouties won't know what hit them this spring.
  21. Cory is going to get a good ass kicking from Dad after that crap. He'll be lucky to see another party.
  22. Here's some very good info. Check out the research section and the E-library section for the article "The Rod & The Cast". http://www.flycastinginstitute.com/index.html "The Rod & The Cast" http://www.flycastinginstitute.com/e-libra...Cast_102507.pdf
