Dangus

I see it two ways. Buy another rod and you'll have a spare butt section and be able to send any future problems in for repair.(confirm ferrule fit first) Or find a buddy with the same rod and send his butt section in with your tip, assuming the fit is right. A scummy move but that's also kinda lame that sage wouldn't fix it even for a fee.

Glad you said it and not me 😵

You guys fishin?

Looked pretty dirty when I drove over it around 3 today.

Had a convo With him a few weeks back. I tried to keep an open mind before judging (as I'd never met him before) and didn't have any problems. He's fine. Just respect property boundaries.

Sorry, do you think it'll be dirty for the next 3+ weeks then?

Bbh...what about the lack of fork in the tail ?

Fairly similar to this guy. https://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/FactSheet.aspx?speciesID=939 However, I think those vermiculations are questionable, as it looks like pixelation to me--especially on the adipose area of the lower photo.

This is a decent little summary but pictures kinda suck http://drowningworms.com/arctic-char-vs-dolly-varden-vs-bull-trout-vs-salmon-differences/ Gonna vote dolly with this one

Dolly varden have smaller jaws than bull trout

Not sure I follow...What do you need a dubbing brush for that recipe for? On first glance it Seems like a wasted effort. I just have a piece of wire I counter wrap my marabou bodied balanced leeches. Dubbing brushes are great if you make the whole leech out of it. You can make a board like this, http://www.drakemag.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=20096 or just tie wire to your hook and make a brush directly for the fly. I think the only way to estimate how much you need is through experience. Diameter of the hook or any lead wraps/finishing nails will change how much you need.

Surely you see the irony in your cocky recreational biologist comment. If you're not busy drawing conclusions on spawning browns ability to handle angling pressure you're fretting over natural gas "spills"! 😉 I'm just teasing, I know what you mean. Still, One can make some loose inferences based on how the river responds. But as stated 15x so far, it doesn't accomplish much other than to offer some hope.

If the south is any indication, You will know if it's been here for a long time because things won't change from How you know it now. You will know it's new if *hit hits the fan over the next 5-10 years.

That's gonna be difficult to remember! Get those RAPP numbers on speed dial, Douglasdale poach town will be ripe for the pickin

SD have you ever tried Davie mcphails method?

Haha ya it was kinda painful to watch. Guy letting that fish take every last click. Just glad it wasn't a steelhead he was gassing

I think they get it in there via the caramilk bar method. Just as smooth and tasty.

True, but for the sake of argument, wouldn't the fact that the gill filaments are bright red indicate that gas exchange is still occurring, albeit across a reduced surface area? As long as the gills are wet, gas will exchange. Not to mention, The concentration of O2 in air is a lot higher as well. 30seconds is a lot of time out of water. Think about those fishing shows. It pains me to watch the host admire the fish and talk about it. Then you wonder how many takes it took. When I think back and count how long I've kept fish out for, it's not more than 5 seconds, if that. Get the camera set up, lift the fish, click click, back in the water.

Ok give me a few days to relay the message

i think you need a tag or something to fish ascension cause it's in a preserve. I had to have one anyways when I was guided with pesca maya. I don't think I had anything for when I fished Cozumel.

Yeah just 8, 10, 12. Could give them a call, maybe they would do something custom

Spratleys are great. It took A big dog and 3 guys in it leaning to one side in order to sink a corner. You can stand anywhere including the seats and the covered bow and cast with complete confidence. One downside is the welds on the handle at the bow are cracking from trailering it there.

Prof, your bc lakes are showing. Haha we have to put up with a lot of *hit in alberta. 25km/h is a fishing day around these parts!
