Dangus

Ever used the bead as part of the prop? Just something else to try if you haven't done it already. Try some in black too, (since it's the only color that works for steelhead 😬)

Nothin like luggage full of fleas (or worse). I've Never seen hecho en Mexico on any of my tying gear. Leave that little critter where he lay. The only thing I Bring back from Mexico is a burntan and on occasion, An angry colon.

Sorry I didn't know the history behind it.

Pipes, You're not making a great argument for culls. Calling someone a troll for Presenting a different argument or viewpoint doesn't sway any opinions. Makes One wonder how much thought you have actually put into it, other than "eliminate competition, better hunting!" Just sayin man.

Brentcube?

Bcube with the troll! Ya get rid of those damn bulltrout too! They're eating all the cuttys! "Wah!! *stomps feet* the wolves ate all the things I wanted to eat!" Seems like real knee jerk reaction to kill the predators. The fact they can't exist is a sign of other problems but I agree that in areas of threatened caribou, culling predators buys time to remedy those problems. Given my limited understanding of the situation...If you cull wolves it weakens the pack, then they go after farm animals which pisses off the farmers (who then kill more wolves). You wipe out a pack and disease runs through the heards or they destroy all the vegetation. I don't see a good option other than to preserve and restore habitat and if you don't get to hunt as much as you like, take up target practice. Hugs, The troll

Couldn't an argument be made for a pipeline being "safer" being in a heavily populated area? The response time and volunteer effort would be far better than if it were out in the boonies. You know, I've always wondered if pipelines have any failsafes in them? I mean, there's gotta be sensors in them monitoring flow and pressure? If something goes amiss an upstream valve shuts down. Or perhaps there's just too much upstream input to simply shut'er down? Always wondered why pipes hemorrhaged so bad before they could get it under control.

Prof you granola-eating, tree-hugging, ganja-smoking hippy! I agree with ya but where else is it going to go? Until Canada has another export to make up for the loss in GDP, we gotta sell oil. TBH pipe is probably safer for our waters than rail, as tracks in bc generally follow rivers. As far as I know, that pipe has had a pretty decent track record so far. Being on both sides of the fence in my lifetime, I think that bc just sees themselves as "green" while forgetting that they're in first gear at a near standstill, working their way home down hwy 1. funny there wasn't a protest against rail transporting caustic soda when it dumped and nuked the cheakamusbut a few homes get squirted with dirty Alberta oil, and everyone loses their minds

Ever take a look at Those 20 dollar ikea trees? Some are pretty decent. That or I have low standards ha

Sprately got demoted to the driveway, drift boat will Hyde out in the triple g for the winter.

That was my first thought too, jp. There are few places you can fall into the bow and not touch bottom fairly soon/reasonably save yourself in this low, slow water. That being said, the whole east side bank with the rip rap drops off quickly in spots. Chicken or the egg...you fall in and the cold shock Induces the heart attack. Those rocks are pretty greasy out there right now, especially with a little frost on the muck.

Yikes. Thought it was weird when I saw fire dpt launching at quarry.

http://www.apsnyc.com/pdf/silica_gel_reconditioning.pdf Going to try "refreshing" 'my loon stuff. Worst case, it's garbage anyways.

Is that shake and bake fly drier stuff just silica? Have a bunch of packs of it sitting here from some stuff I ordered. Should it work?

I believe that's the second time monger has had to answer that question ha

Ggp, you ever tie those in bow river sizes? I mean, for the hook gap. Has anyone here ever swung them on the bow?

Thanks for the history lesson. What I meant was, the river is always regulated open to a certain point and then there is an in-season decision based on returns. Regardless, the discussion was taking place after November 1, and there was no steelhead opening. Hugs

It is every year. a fall opening is the November-on window. the question was also posed mid-November which made me think he thought it was open this year. Thanks though.

Thompson never opened this fall.

so is that saying for an 8 weight, the type 6 and type 3 15 foot tips are both 85 gr?

Ok, you store that weapon properly. Should then come in handy in a pinch! Quick draw! 🙄

I think there was something about freezing in there too. Maybe that'd wipe it out. Still,'seems like a waste

Ya my feeling is that since it's a park, it would be restored to native species. Not really sure what it accomplishes. It's in the bow, it'll just end up back in the lake. Just need to let some natural selection work its magic.

What lines are you guys attaching these tips to? Everything I've paired mine to are a pita to cast on my sh. I get maybe 50 feet from the boat with a weighted fly or two , but working my ass off. Anyone know if the versitip tips have different amount of mass going though the line weights? Or are they consistent number of grains per foot? For example, would a type 6 tip from a #5 versitip system be heavier than a type 6 from a 8 versitip kit? Seems like a dumb question, I just assumed they would all be the same grains/foot.

What a weird reg. why not just make it no ice fishing?
