If you're talking about the 7126 TCX I have a Danielsson L5W 8twelve on mine and it balances nicely at about 8oz.

Especially tiny giraffes...

I've wondered the same thing, but since your license is only valid when you've signed it I don't think so. Maybe if you printed it, signed it, scanned it, then saved that to your phone it would be ok. Might be worth emailing SRD to find out for sure.

That's why I buy online and print off multiple copies right away - one goes in my fishing bag, another in my wallet, and another in my glovebox.

Thought the site was https://www.albertarelm.com/

Check out O'Connor's on 1st Street SW and 14th Ave. They carry AoS and some of the higher end DE blades. I've picked up Merkur blades there before.

Yup, if they're Simms Gore-Tex waders this is the best and easiest way to do it. The pinholes will actually turn a darker colour so you can aquaseal them. No need to mess around with anything else.

I've always received good service at Saneal. The one on 11th Ave is their main store and has the largest stock on hand I think.

You mean double-edged razor blades for a safety razor? Wal-mart, London Drugs, Shoppers, or almost any place that sells shaving stuff. The sharpest ones out there are made by Feather, but the Personnas, Merkur, and Gillette ones are pretty good too.

The way I look at it is the DVD probably would've cost twice as much or never gotten made without that paid propaganda. It didn't bother me much, but then again I've been known to fish a few Sage rods

I'd suggest using a piece of wool instead of a fly when learning the snap-t. I've heard of people guillotining the tips of their rods with the hook while getting the hang of it.

Yup, I've been researching a handheld GPS as well and settled on the Oregon 550. The only downside to the Oregon is that the screen can be difficult to read in bright sunlight from what I've read. Plan on pulling the trigger on the purchase some time this week so I'll see how it is.

Thought it was great. It was nice to see the actual techniques instead of casting since there are already so many videos covering that. Seeing how he works his way through the run was interesting. I thought the best part was seeing him swing without a take for a while and lose a bunch of fish since that's more realistic than a lot of the other videos out there.

Really hope that fad burns out fast. Seems like Whiting is jacking their prices and eliminating sales of full and half saddles because of the increased demand. Pulled from another board: If you're wondering what it looks like take a look at http://www.finefeatherheads.com/

Lots of those out there. How soon do you need it? I think Fish Tales is doing another Spey demo this spring. Otherwise I think glshooter had a 7wt Spey for sale in the trading post. Edit: My mistake. Glshooter is selling a 9wt. Bhurt is selling a 13' 7wt.

Why would Alaskan fishermen complain about a comparison to fish in Russia?

The reel is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, at least that's what my Econ prof told me years ago...

Do you want to go skagit, scandi, or mid-belly? Does the rod have a grain window printed on it? I'd guess if you're going skagit then something between 500 and 600 grains should work but I've never cast that rod so couldn't say for sure. The reel should be big enough to fit at least 100 yards of 30lb dacron, your running line, and the skagit head and tip. On my 7wt spey rods I use a Danielsson L5W 8twelve with a 510 grain compact skagit or 525 skagit flight. Unfortunately nobody can tell you which line will work best for you on that rod. People can tell you what they like best on it and give you a starting point, but there's a lot of personal preference involved in the exact line pairing. I have a Z-Axis 9143 that I use a 660 grain skagit head on, but I know someone who's a better caster than me who prefers a 720 grain on the same rod.

What kind of fishing are you looking to do with it and where?

It's a couple years old, but check out this roundup of waterproof cameras http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q209waterproofgroup/ Have the Canon D10 and it's a pretty good camera. A little bulkier than some of the others but the photo quality is top notch.

Anyone know of local sources for aftermarket seat warmers for a vehicle and rough prices including installation? After having them in my cars for the past nine years I don't think I can live without them and my next vehicle doesn't come with them.

My girlfriend has one of those pop-ups but she bought it used from a neighbour. Have you checked kijiji or Craigslist? And I'm looking at getting a Tacoma this year so no remarks from me about the Tundra.

Yeah, I'd just go with level running line if you're going to be swinging flies with a skagit head and tips. The two setups I plan on taking out there have mono running line, skagit head, and various sink tips in different lengths and sink rates. I'm told that a type 3, type 6, and floating tip are all you really need out there, but I have various lengths of T14 and a set of light MOW tips that I'll bring with me as well just in case. If I were in your shoes I'd try the Slick Shooter first since it's so cheap and if you don't like the mono because it's too thin then try something like the Airflo Ridge which is more expensive. You can always use the Slick Shooter for the trailing hooks on your intruders too. Have you gotten to cast any rods yet? The biggest mistakes I've ever made were buying spey rods without casting them a bunch first. All of them ended up on the trading post.

What are you looking to cast with it? I don't know anyone who uses a tapered running line for swinging flies, but it would probably work better for presentations where you need to do lots of mending like nymphing. You might want to try a level mono running line first and go from there. A spool of Slick Shooter is only around $10 so if you don't like it you aren't out a lot of coin.

Are you looking for info on tapered running line or durability and all that of the Dragontail specifically? Some info on tapered running line in this thread.
