    My First Tie

    thanks alot for the help. i didn't know that there was different foam but you are the second person to mention that. I will try and get the other kind. I was losing alot of hair from the fly when i tyed it was why i think i was putting on to much. when i fluffed it a little a bunch would come out of the center of the stack.
  2. Great job fellas. I need to go out there some time.
  3. Nice work Max. That one brown is freakin massive.

    My First Tie

    i can see that the cement really played a little havoc on my dubbing. Have tyed about 6 now and they look better allready.
  6. Well i thought i would try to get into the beginners swap and this is my entry. I saw it on the board and thought i would try it. Still working on them as i have only ever tyied a SJW before this. So what's it need still? I need to move it back from the eye of the hook a little i guess

    Trip For Browns

    um.....i'll go to that lake with ya.... I won't tell the name, honest.
  10. Great job man...and welcome to the board Bree. My daughter is 8 and she loves fishing as well. I have to get her on the fly rod soon i guess. I only spin cast with my kids in the lake but they have a great time in the boat. i guess i need to get some pics also. we need to get all the kids together sometime Jeff. Would be cool to have a little kids fish-a-thon with all the members kids. Ed
  11. you kill me Rick...that was funny....except for the Canadian part
  12. Did anyone on here say that they thought they are better than American's...No. Do i want to be compared to them...absolutly not. I believe we as Canucks are individual. Americans still wear Canadian flags on there backpacks when they travel to Europian countries because they know they will get treated better. I know this for a fact...I talked to Americans with it on. I'm sure not going to throw the stars and stripes on and go back packing through Europe or Central/South America. I do not want to pile all Americans into the same bracket though, that would be unfair. I have many American friends that i would give the shirt off my back if they needed it. I work in the US alot and i see both sides that's all. Many great super nice,super friendly people and alot of jerks who still think i live in a igloo and ride a dog sled to work in July. Been out with Americans and we run into some group being dicks and they said "and we wonder why nobody likes us". To my friends from this forum who are American i mean no disrespect to you or your home country and i think you all know that. As i said above we can't judge all by the actions of a few. Wasn't this thread about Mexico? I'll be back there next year with my kids again and won't think twice about it. You need to be smart. JMO
  13. 2L is great. 3\4 bottle of coke and 1\2 bottle of crown and away ya go i use mine mostly on the pontoon, i just through the straps over the seat and have the hose at hand for a sip anytime i like.
  14. theres a link about the Danvise on here somewhere. Check that out . I got one for 60$ i think with free shipping to Canada. Took about a week. Full rotary vise. Seems to work well.
  15. I've been to Mexico 8 times without a problem. But i stay close to the resort. Shop during the day and stay on main streets. I have had friends get into trouble though. One friend robbed by police after walking out of a bank machine at 1 am (very dumb move). Another stip searched at gun point after getting lost in PV and going down an alley(also robbed) If you just use your head you will be fine. As for them liking Canadians i think we are still going strong down there. I saw tons of Americans making asses of themselves down there(as well as a few Canadians). Talking to the staff they all seem to say that they still prefer us over the rest.(even newfies ...just kiddin folks) One thing that did change though was that this was the first time i could buy stuff with Canadian money if i wanted to and we got a better exchange rate than the us dollar. Hope i didn't offend any of the yanks on here(Rickr) but what can we say....peaple like us

    Reel

    does this seem like a good price? I know some of you guys work in fly shops and could tell me if that is high or low. That reel should work for my 6wt axiiom right? Does anyone have this reel? M3SL 3.50 in.5.1 oz.6-7WF7+(175yds.20#)$325.00$155.00Bauer
  17. I'd like to say happy mothers day to any of the fly ladies that are on this site. Thanks for keeping us boys straight.
  18. if you go to Carsland don't forget that the river is closed between the wier and HWY 24 till the end of the month. It's only a five minute walk to the bridge if you stay in loop A and there is some good fishin right after it. Also try Bow Valley by Sibald flats. The Bow runs right along side of it. Also # sisters in Canmore is on the Bow.
