  1. thanks terry had plan to build many a year ago after reading your posts, it reminds me to get back to the shop and make a couple of these. thanks again great pics,
  2. I didnot know Loomis was bought out, that ia probalbly why they do not sell the bags anymore. I have one Loomis rod and a couple of sage, bought i was wondering if the Loomis is a faseter rod than the Sage, or are they both about the same,?
  3. I am thinking of purchasing a new rod, i am looking at either a Sage TCX or a G-Loomis GLX 9weight. to fish for Steelhead. i would like some opinions of which is better, do they handle differently, and what reel would be best?
  4. thanks for the good advice, sounds like they are a cheap price wader, with cheap material.
  5. I was at Bass Pro looking at their White River waders, front pocket, they want $150.00 for them. seems like a good by, but if they leak it is never a good buy. Any body tried them yet?
  6. It appears that Rio has the vote by most I was wondering if there is life expected on leaders, how many years in there packages before they break down.
  7. I need to purchase some leaders, Is there a differnce in manufacture of leaders?
  8. Great pictures and lots of ideas, thanks guys. Great set up Terry, Woodworking and Fly fishing go to gether well
  9. terry I was noticeing your reading said 57 degrees, was that the water temperature at the surface or at the boottom. how long have you had your Eagle, and how deep does it read? Some of the lakes in newfound land are said to be very deep and I am courious to find out how deep they are.
  10. Thanks you guys Looking to find the bottom, didn't know I could find the temperature as well. What about the Lawrence models ?
  11. Any opinions on what fish finder for a belly boat. is best
  12. do you have to deliver the Fly or will a picture do?
  13. OK, Terry hw abut a means test. or better still, if you are over 65, you get a discount, if you fly fish you get a differnt rate; if you wish to keep the fish, a differnet rate.
  14. I have owned a numer of diferent boots, Got the G4's this year, wore them steady for 4 days, hiking and wading. Very comfortable, lots of support, lots of grip walking up grassy slopes or moss coverd rocks. If you can afford them, get them. it is like a fly rod, good rods cast well, good boots feel good. At the end of the day, I don't wish to strugle to take my boots off, or to feel real good to have them off. With these simms, I'll leave them on and drive home. They feel that comfortable. It is like there vests, they fit well, and do not give me sore spots, from rubbing. The only complaint I have is I carry to much in all those 22 pockets. I have never regretted buying Simms
  15. If you subscribe to Canadian Workshop, they had a great plan for a table top work bench. Published in the early 90's. Copies maybe avalable at your local Library. Holds all your tools and material right at hand. I made one for myself and buddies, we al love it.
  16. I was reading the regulations for the canada national parks act, wich states " it is unlawfull to fish with a line capable of catching more than one fish at one time" does this mean you cannot fish with a hopper dropper?
  17. Double checked the price from the Camper village and the Journey is $159.00, must have been a miss quote. called Mountain Coop, price is $105.00 looked at the Classic with water bottle pre-filter Coop $93.00 Village $108.00 Reason to drink the water out of the Bow then I do not neet to carry water.
  18. I was looking at one of the Steripen systems for hand held water purifiers. Does anyone know if they work, and of all the models they have which one is better. The Steripen Journey is $180.00 or the Steripen Classic for $80.00 any big difference? I was thinking of using it on the bow? good or bad Idea?
  19. \I was calling to-day, Phone is disconnected. any bdy know if the strore is open? have they just changed numbers? Looking to buy some Simms Equipment, a new vest and boots, I bought my last ones from them, realy wear well. Any body else in alberta sell Simms?
  20. Leroy There was talk of you coming to Edmonton, to the Northern Lights fly club, any truth to this? I know a lot from the club watch your show faithfully.
  21. Northern Ontario, Clean clear water, More lakes and rivers than then you can fish in a life time. it is quiet, and clean. but you better like snow, unless you go south for the winter, which you can in a two day drive. Vancouver Island is nice bet getting to busy, if you fish for Salmon you are should to shoulder. Alberta is getting crazy, was up on the clear river, fishing was slow, then all the water turned brown, people playing with there quads. Very few lakes to fish that are clean. The East coast is great the people are so nice, you want to go back, NL is so laid back and slow, life is a dream. No I will take Northern Ontario, fish all day never see a body. Sit around the camp fire till late at night, and it is still to hot to go to bed. But all in all every part of canada is great, every part is special to someone. It is my dream to take a trip and fish across canada, probably take a few years
  22. When I first started tying, I was taught by a fellow from England who could tie some great flies. His coment to me was that if you put a bit of wool on a hook that was the right colour and size, you would catch fish. And I have aways found that to be corect. How and were you fish is more inportant.
  23. You can order it through Chapters For $83.00
  24. Don Has there ever been any thought to use CIL wobblers, While it may not remove all, it could reduce the numers if organized.
