As opposed to alcohol? And if you legalized it, you would remove this from the equation. I don't partake of the green stuff myself but I don't have any issues with legalization.

Pretty sure it's DNA.

Bingo! Edit: And not just enforcement, but enforcement with teeth. Enough warnings, let's see some real fines issued and equipment confiscated.

Looks like this video is out now. http://www.skagitmaster.com/

In my opinion Simms makes the best waders out there. Have a pair of G3s and G4Zs and wouldn't trade them for anything. Very durable and the warranty/repair service is top notch. Just make sure the fit is right because they have lots of options - S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL, 4XL plus king, long, and short in each.

Remember it's actually three hooks. Some flies have two hooks on them...

Loomis has something like that but it's only in the US. Maybe that's what they were talking about and misunderstood. Nobody can guarantee a package to anywhere in the world in one day.

Agreed. Calgary is quite clean compared to large cities in Europe. Ever been to Dublin (Ireland not Ohio)? That's one he'll of a dirty city. Wolfie's European friends must be from small villages or something.

If by small streams you mean cutty fishing I use an 8'2" 2wt for that. Lots of personal preference involved, but since you already have a 6wt it makes more sense to me to go with a 4wt than a 5wt.

Yeah, colour to me is far less important in a streamer than the movement of the fly. I wouldn't tie a caddis pupa in those colours. I've never tried tying this particular streamer in "trout" colours, but I'm sure it would catch the same number of fish as the other colours I use.

Except sometimes colour combinations that aren't supposed to work do... (that's hot pink and purple)

Wait, so this guy actually posted that to a forum? If it was a fishing or outdoors forum please tell me they ripped him a new one...

Heh, yeah some weird mixture of testosterone and saccharine now...

I tried it for a while and thought it had potential, but being a Mac user it was a pain to fire up a Windows VM to use it.

You're right by Fish Creek Park. Just head down there and you'll find plenty of accessible walk and wade fishing on the Bow.

Damn, I didn't know the undead could fish. Shouldn't he be getting another blood transfusion instead? http://www.westfly.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=4971

That's a pretty good story. I guess the other thing to mention is that Tiger also casts the two-handed rod I saw somewhere that he has around 20 rods and reels, but then again with his money I'd have way more than that. I've also seen it mentioned that some other guys like Harrison Ford and Woody Harrelson fly fish, but I don't know if it was just a one time thing or they're regulars.

Ha, I didn't know about Vinnie Jones. He was great in the Guy Ritchie movies, but I think this is how most soccer fans remember him...

So there are plenty of well-known people who fly fish, but not everyone knows they do. A few I know off the top of my head... Eric Clapton Tom Selleck (you know this if you've ever been into West Winds) Henry Winkler Tiger Woods Winston Churchill Herbert Hoover Also, Obama went fly fishing for the first time a couple weeks ago, though I wouldn't call him a fly fisherman. Any more that anyone knows of?

From the title of the thread I thought he was having a laser rangefinder implanted in his eye for this reason...

You don't need a rotary vise to make a dubbing loop. You will need a hook or similar tool to spin it, but then you just wrap it as you would any material. The first pic here shows the tool you need: http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/t...ips/part144.php

Tite Line Dubbing Spin for direct dubbing. For a loop I just use a stick of dubbing wax.

What Brad said sums it up. Keep in mind that you may run into others who don't follow any etiquette, so just keep a level head about it if you do. This is from the regs and covers a few other things: Alberta Angling Ethic In accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Policy, the Alberta government promotes the following angling ethics. The ethical angler has respect for wild creatures, knowledge of his or her natural surroundings, a sense of fair play and consideration for the rights and expectations of others. Fishing, as promoted by the Alberta government, should foster an ethical relationship of the highest order between anglers, their quarry, fellow anglers, and the natural environment. Ethical conduct is expected of anglers in Alberta. Maintain the sport of recreational fishing. Emphasize the fishing experience. Use sporting methods, gear (lures, line type and amount of technology) appropriate to the type of fishing and the size of fish desired. Provide proper care and handling of caught or released fish. Fish are to be released with the greatest possible care and minimal amount of handling. Fish that are kept should be killed quickly once they are out of the water and in such a manner that their edible or trophy value is preserved. Conduct sportfishing activities that result in the least disturbance to the surrounding environment. Refrain from littering on land and in water. Take refuse to a proper disposal site. Respect the need and expectations of your fellow anglers. Treat other sport anglers with common courtesy: (a) leave room for others to fish, ( disturb the fish as little as possible, © leave the fishing site in the same condition as it was found, (d) don't remain in one fishing spot too long, (e) be cooperative and understanding, (f) obey the limits and keep only as many fish as you require to enjoy the sport. Consider other land users. Carry out fishing activities in a manner that minimizes conflict with other land users and anglers. Respect the rights of landowners. Request permission for access across private property. The landowner has the right to grant or refuse access. Follow angling regulations. Know and abide by all fishing regulations and encourage others to do the same. Anglers have a duty to address illegal activities in a safe manner. Angler’s actions could range from alerting others to closed waters or wrong size or species being kept to reporting all observed violations of angling regulations to the Fish and Wildlife Division, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development. It is important to collect pertinent information (such as vehicle licence numbers, violator descriptions, etc.) that will assist enforcement actions.

Is that an 11' 3/4 or 11'3" 4? Sorry for the hijack...
