I found a flyrod tube south of Crowsnest Pass. If you can describe the tube, and where you left it behind. I will try to get it back to you.

Its a couple miles up from Sparwood, towards Elkford

Anybody who is planning to float the upper section of the Elk river, please be aware of a very dangerous log ,jam half way down.
it may be advisable to walk your boat around it.

Just wondering if anybody has any hands on experience with this jacket. The internals of it look good having down as well as primaloft gold. They are a bit expensive, just wondering if they work.
Any help would be appreciated.

After reading about these lines on another fishing forum, and seeing great reviews, I decided to try one.
This is a company from Scotland, the have a fairly good selection of lines for most purposes, and free worldwide shipping.I ordered a GT90 line 6wtf. Floating line it took not quite 2 weeks to my door and cost
$47 can.It comes in a colour called mushy pea, a nice soft green colour.The first thing I noticed while spooling up was how supple this line was , there was no memory coils at all. It flows through the guides very quietly. The line lays out in a perfectly straight line, again no memory.it is a very easy line to cast for distance, it floats very well and mends just as well. The only shortfall, that I have found is it does not come with welded loops, so I just put on a braided loop. I normally use the higher end Rio or SA line, but with them now around $100, I thought this might be a good alternative at half price.I hove only been out twice with this line, but I am very impressed so far I feel in my opinion that these lines are every bit as good as the high end lines. I have already ordered another.If you are in the market for a new line, it might pay to give their website a look, in my opinion it is a very good product.

Sage One or Scott Radian, or once they are available in Canada Scott flex.
Have a look at the Yellowstone fly rod shootout, for other ideas, and info.

Thanks for the commentary. I have no problem entertaining considered/reasonable/near offers.
Offering 50% of the asking price is someone just being a timewaster.
I do think their is a kijiji mindset that people want a deal. $250 firm gets far fewer replies than a $275 ask and we reach a negotiated deal at $250. Just my experiences anyways.
Sold a lot of stuff on kijiji over the years, appreciate the venue but feels like the lowball timewasters are starting to outnumber the serious buyers......
Just waist their time by ignoring them.
That probably bugs them just as much.

They jacked up the license fees for non-residents too.
This one is nice to see. It's about time
Would have been nice to see them put a classified waters fee on non residents as well.

Spurly....They improved the boot from the original Rivertek. Did you have the Rivertek 2?
Yes. My boots were Riverteck 2 boots, my backups were G4, with BOA ,which I also liked, but they had the crank button on the side of the boot rather than centre. I prefer the Riverteck 2 boots, my next will be rubber sole though.

Update:
First season with the Simms Rivertek II Boa and they were awesome. Absolutely no problems with lacing system. They are a lot heavier than my previous wading boots and it took a few trips to break them in, but overall I am pleased.
Keep an eye on the stitching, on the side of the boot as well as the toe cap area. Mine had to go back after one season. They were replaced, but, had to buy backup boots being mid season. Love the boots, and the BOA system.

I had the same issue with a 5 wt. Radian, and a 5wt. Wraith. The nautilus FWX 5 wt. was too light. Had to switch over to a Nautilus FWX
7 wt. reel to balance correctly. The plumbers tape sounds like a good idea, or a few wraps of solder.

For sure, they do not seem to change stock, very often, the good stuff gets picked over quick.

The last time I was in the Whole sale sports cleanse shop in Pincher Creek, they had them at 40% off.

I have the Riverteck as well as the G4 boot , both have the boa. System, the wheel on the Riverteck is in the centre. The wheel on the G4 is on the side. I prefer the Riverteck as it tightens more evenly. Also like the drain holes on the Riverteck boots. Although others may not agree, I am a great fan of the BOA system.

I bought a pair of Simms Riverteck II wading boots last summer, used them till about the end of October, then for about a month this spring.while cleaning them up , I noticed the triple stitching coming apart in a couple places on both boots.I contacted Simms, and was told to send them in, and they would evaluate them, for repair, or replacement.I was notified that they had received them, late one afternoon.the next morning they notified me that they would be replacing them with ,new boots.Simms was excellent to communicate with, and kept me informed at all times. I am very happy with the outcome, and very Happy that I chose Simms for this purchase, and will be happy to buy Simms products in the future.Seems nowadays, it's hard to get a positive outcome on warranty issues, but Simms was fantastic to deal with.

Sage One 5 wt. is on a clear out sale in the US now. North 40 outfitters has them on for $425 US
-
I would have to say, my LOOP, 3wt. Grey line for creeks, and my TCX 590 for rivers.
-
One would think that since all the major boot makers, have this BOA system available, that they would have done a very thorough, testing, and evaluation process. I am sure not all users are happy with this system, but enough to keep the BOA system in production.

I bought the Rivertek boots , with BOA last spring, and have been very satisfied with them.I contacted BOA right away, and got free replacement laces, just in case.The felt bottoms are great on rocks, but be careful on, grassy slopes, on the way to or from the water.
So far I am very happy with the BOA system, keeps the boots tight, and offers quick adjustment if needed.The drain holes in the bottom of the boot work great, except in muddy bottoms, where they draw a bit of mud in, but, can be flushed out quickly if needed.The boots also dry out quick, and so far seem very durable, and I have put a lot of rough miles on them.I would not hesitate to buy another pair, as they are a great boot, that can also be had, without the BOA system.
