Cast right, reel left...........why switch hands........You don't switch for the "other".......

46???........Holy crap, you're still growing into your waders!!..........Happy B'Day.........

Nice tie Terry.......I just did a few and with all the tips the Board had it went pretty good.....Midge emergers/dries have always perplexed me........These look like they should work fine!!....Thanks for the pattern and I will call them the Terry's Midge for sure........

An elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, moved to Texas. Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home. Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, "Notice anything different about me?' Margaret looked him over. 'Nope.' Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked Back into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots. Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, 'Notice anything different NOW?' Margaret looked up and exclaimed, 'Bert, what's different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow!' Furious, Bert yelled, 'AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?' 'Nope', she replied. 'IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!' Without changing her expression, Margaret replied, 'Shoulda bought a hat, Bert. Shoulda bought a hat.'

We have Jeff Cox, our student officer from last year returning again............Anything happening on the auction front, Toolman??

Hahahahahahahahaha!!..............Nope, just sounds like Calgary!!..............

If they'd done the deed 3 months ago we'd have made the post season...........anyway, Hawks in 5 and all the way to the final........

Apparently she was "distraught" because she couldn't find a job..........Little wonder--I'm guessing her IQ might not have qualified her for much and I hear the demand for investment bankers is waaaaay down.........

Oh, and Angel is my man!!..........Too bad for the pro American commentators though...........I thought they were going to cry..........Perry is a class act.......He was very gracious in defeat and I really felt bad for him........I also thought Phil was classy in his answer to "how did you like playing with Tiger" question.........He may have scripted that one in advance........

I hope Kevin's cajones keep him warm at night for the next year...........Worst display of skipping I've seen since I played..........What the hell was he thinking??...........Keep a clean house when you're tied coming home with the hammer....(mistake number 1).......why not guard against the Scotland raise instead of wasting one??...........(mistake number 2)........An opposition-stone-raise-double takeout instead of bumping your own?? (mistake number 3).......Yes, a big set of cajones........All the blood from his brain must have been in them...........

Tjat´s exactly right.........Get rid of the reward and it should take away the incentive to illegally stock.......But I think Smitty is right, they should have nixed the limits on those lakes that were already illegally stocked to make te point more clear......

I am not saying flyfishing only but I am opposed to ice fishing on a lake that is designated as a ¨quality fishery¨simply due to the mortality and release issues........As Terry said, there are lots of other choices and the regs are in place to protect the fish to allow them to grow past their usual 12¨¨ put-and-take size........If we need to keep this lake, and Bullshed closed an extra month to make sure that the spirit of what we´re trying to accomplish is achieved then so be it........I don´t give a damn about method but I´m willing to bet that most of the ice auger crowd are using garlic marshmallows or similar (pardon the slur) and that´s bait, that´s illegal and that increases mortality..........I could be wrong, but........

Hola..... Amybody had a look at Police??.......Are the ice fishermen having a field day there too??----We really gotta get that part of the regs changed..... Al....

Hey Guys and Gals....... I know Toolman is working on getting this year´s auction going and it´s partly my fault that we´re late off the mark......We had a major setback earlier with some concern as to whether the program would have enough funding to go forward so everything was delayed......While we have not yet received confirmation, there is a high likelihood that we will get $75.000 on a matching grant basis through Añberta Lotteries........(don´t even ask, as it´s toooo complicated to explain)........At any rate, Stream Watch needs to raise $75,000 from other sources for our matching part so the auction will be VERRRRY important.......We are already a good ways towards our $75K goal with some funds from last year and committments from TU etc.........The really good news is that if all the funding comes togeher we will be able to put a second officer in the south on the Castle-Carbondale drainage.........Sooooooooo. get your donations and wallets ready for the auction and let´s try and break last years record.......

Congrio is about the best kept secret in the world!!.......I have eaten it grilled, fried, poached and had it in a soup in Pucon and it was fabulous!!....... The futbol game with Uruguay was not as good as the one with Peru but 0=0 is o.k I guess.........We're in Santiago today for the first time and what a beautiful city!!........By the way, Saltmontes, I like Escudo better!!........ Al.......

Thanks for the good advice..........Have eaten many (perhaps too many) empenada´s and have sipped some fabulous wines but I will find your recommendation as I don´t think that has been one of our samplings..........We are headed for Santa Cruz in a couple of days and wine will be top on our agenda........What are your aunt and uncles´s names---just kidding!!.......And thanks again for the bastardo comment........

Rio Puelo.......Miserable gravel road in for about 40 km but worth the drive......River has lots of fish--bows, browns, salmon and they´re fairly stupid or we probably wouldn´t have caught any.......I had my first rainbow on about 3 minutes after I got out of the boat!!.......Rio Puelo is about straight east of Puerto Varas and a lovely river that resembles the Bow escept that it feeds into the chuck about 10 km from where we started fishing........We had a Chilean friend who dragged his boat about half way in on the awful road and then discovered it had shifted on his trailer and punched a hole in the hull so we left it and he hired a guide and boat for us for the following day........All 3 of us fished from about 8:00 to 4:00 (the guide fished a bit too) and we ran upriver from riffle to riffle in his jon boat and wade fished..............Probably only fished about 5 miles of river.........Gorgeous......Cost us the princely sum of about $150 Canadian---our Chilean friend said the guide gave is a break because Clive and I were ¨good fly fishermen and the guide got a chance to fish because he didn´t need to help us¨¨ Apparently a Chilean could negotiate a room, food, open bar, boat and guide for about $300 cdn a day at one of the lodges here........I may be back!!.......Oh, and by the way guys, the weather has been spectacular!! (I, like Clive, enjoy being called bastardo)

Likely just Guam...........I'm more worried about the dyssentry that might kick in between now and SA as a result of the one I ate today.........Not planning any Mickey D's while I'm gone............Ooops, gotta go..........It might be over by tomorrow..............

This is the funniest thread ever..........I ate a Big Mac for lunch today---first in about 10 years..........I have to fly tomorrow and after reading some of these posts, I'm verrrrry afraid..........

Way too many!!.......... :)

Pathetic is being kind........Absolutley predictable........And you're right, they don't deserve to make the playoffs and likely won't..........YUCKO!!

As heard on the Tonight Show last night............ "If you're an ugly woman you're going to experience life much like a man.......You're gonna have to work"....... Drew a mixed round of, er, applause??........

A really good 40 minute effort........I wonder if McT has told the boyz that hockey is a 60 minute game.......How many points have we wasted this year with that lacklustre, "let's try and protect our one goal lead" style of play??.....You just KNOW how it's gonna end........Bloody brutal!!

Wonder if Carby would like to see what life's like in the wild west??

I was kidding......(but yes, the fly you tied at last year's conclave was a salmon pattern)....I caught it on a BAW which is pretty much all I fish in the Crow in winter..........
