I've never heard of airsoft before. Cool. So how is one marked as being "hit"? BWT, you guys look more like a SWAT team then Tali-bandits. Hidding in the bushes to rid the bow of ganstas, eh? (...trying to stay on topic....)

So, is that what the paint ball boys are wearing these days??

That third dude is scary. Is that a gun tripod I see in the background?

I didn't confuse the two. I just pointed out that the success and proliferation of AMP's may adversely affect the success of this and any future letter campaigns. From the link given: "Missing from the Photo but these people also contributed greatly: Dave Narver, BC Wildlife Federation, Paul Bech, Steelhead Society, " I'm assuming the Steelhead Society is the one and the same. This doesn't mean they are for the AMP. They may be a voice against. Does anyone know their stance? Here nor there, this was a hijack from the original intent of the thread and I'm sorry. I'll shut-up now.

MOE makes it offical but I doubt they were the instigator. I found a good website that shows who the movers and shakers are. http://www.noelgyger.ca/quality-waters.htm = link

What have you done lately for the good of the manatee? Just Kidding!!! My point is human nature is human nature and the crafters of the AMP should consider human nature for what it is. Who knows, if/when the AMP becomes a gold mine, the government might then pay attention (politicians being human too) because $ and votes count to them, not the plight of the manatee. However, if the river banks are empty, no one will be writting letters. There is no way I'm suggesting we spite the steelhead for personal gain. Heck, we should all be writing letters for environmental reasons at the least. Likewise, the BCSS, when crafting the AMP, should not be thinking about personal gain. I'm not suggesting they are, but again, human nature is human nature and guides are human too.

This just goes to show the old adage "The more friends a river has, the better" is true. Does it matter where the friends come from? The recent rush to AMP's only serves to reduce the number of friends a river has. To come onto this board to ask those targeted for exclusion to come to the rescue is....I can't seem to find the right word for it. Yes. I care about the plight of the Steelhead. I also care about the plight of the Manatee but with the AMP coming on board, they both have about the same relevance to me.

Very sweet looking. If I ever see one of those rhea birdies walking by, I'm gonna tackle the mo-fo.

That is cool. Ugly as hell, but really cool. I hope it lasts longer then a dozen flies!

...Hey, Bullwinkle.....what the $^*$&^$&^ was that?

WHERE DO YOU FLY FISH?: LARGE LAKES_____ SALTWATER_____ STILLWATERS__x___ STREAMS__x___ RIVERS___x___ FLY RODS: HOW MANY "REGULARLY USED RODS" DO YOU OWN?:__3__ (This information will NOT be relayed to any other member of your family !) REGULARLY USED FLY ROD CONFIGURATIONS: LINE WEIGHT # OF PIECES LENGTH ACTION(M-moderate) (MF-mod-fast) (F-fast) -_____6______ ____4___ ____9____ ___MF (DanCraft Sig V) -_____3______ ___4___ _____8.5___ ___Uber Fast (DanCraft FT) -_____1_____ ___2___ _____7___ ___MF (DanCraft Sig III) Obviously, I like DanCraft. IF you had the opportunity to have THE ULTIMATE FLY ROD built for you, what would be the configuration? Line Weight: ____3_____ # of Pieces:___3___ Length:____10ft_____ Action:____MF_____ Additional notes: 3wt because I like light rods. 3 piece because I think 4 might be too much and 2 is too little (big when broken down), 10ft for nymphing and flicking ability, plus it would help when sitting in a toon, MF for casting and fighting feel. I believe a rod doesn't have to be heavy to land big fish, as long as I can trust it won't break on me. If I'm into a big honker, I just have to make sure I don't put too much bend in the rod and make sure I use butt to land it. So to me, this would be the rod I would use for most fishing situations I find myself in.

Have you ever heard of Jason Becker? Check out all his youtube vids and I think you'd agree this man was one of the most awesome shredders that ever hit the stage. It's too bad he got ALS at a young age. Sorry for the hijack.

Me too...taken this year....(Pentax Optio 43 WR)

Those are some picture I *don't* want to see.

You guys make me sick. Great stories. I really wish I had one to share......

Yes.....you are. After 24 yrs in the Army, you deserve it. Good on ya. And Thank You.

I was looking for them too. No one told me playing a real guitar was so gawd damn hard!!! It sure does create a new appreciation when I'm listening to tunes now.

I think Pythagoras has a winner there. Nice shots from everyone. I love looking at fishing (and other) pics. This is not a great picture but I thought I'd share it. Its a typical Livingstone Cutt. Really beat up.

Alnico Humbuckers.

I got something anti-fishing. I bet it will cut into my tying time "A Major". RGX-A2 Reviews...despite what it looks like, this thing is not a toy. Who knows, it might actually help if I can convert my shredding techniques to tying techniques.

How can they call it a Championship when anybody can enter?

You are right about this site, Dank. I've learn lots and made a few friends along the way. Good luck back in the US of A. I hope there's good trout fishing where you're heading.

The rebel punk in me agrees.....the old man "I wouldn't last a day in jail" doesn't.

Pac....thats cool.

Thats not the point. It would technically be poaching.
