  1. Hi Tim,

     

    I have both the Sage 3300D and the Nautilus Fw 5 and the both are awesome reels but the FW is lighter and has as good or better drag. Also dosen't hurt that it looks great and costs abaut $150.00 less than the 3300D (even less if you know where to look). Another thing to concider is not only does the reel cost less but extra spools are considerably less coin. Check out Russ's FW and you will be sold.

     

    Cheers,

    Paulie

  2. I used acupuncture for my knee a couple of years ago for some pain that wouldn't go away after 1 month of

    rest. After my first acupuncture session the pain was gone. I went about 4-5 times and then finished the

    hockey season pain free till the last game which was about 4 months after the treatment. I play goal so my

    knees take a pounding and I was pretty surprised it worked. I would do it again for sure.

  3. I dont know for sure how big the smaller fish were that you caught but ive noticed that this years stock which are trips seem to be a little me willing to take the fly than the diploids did when first stocked, just wondering if that explains the more smaler fish. if they were in that 10-12" range and strait chrome that would be what they were......that said i cant wait for next year, they have already grown alot scince being stocked and are scrapier than hell!!! Anyway glad to here everybody had a good time.

     

     

    Yep, the smaller ones were in the the 10-12" range and nice and bright, trips for sure. You are right they are fiesty! They should provide very good sport for years to come.

     

    Bloom, I'm surprised I didn't bump in to you guys. Were you there on Sat? We started fishing at about 7:45am and worked counter clockwise around the lake returning to the parking lot around 5:00pm.

     

    Anyway, good times.

  4. I was there on Sat. as well with 3 friends and the weather was awesome! After a slow start we ended up having a pretty

    good day walking around the whole lake. Caught fish on a variety of Leeches and Chronies. No weeds to speak of yet and

    the water was clearer than I remember. Seemed to be a lot more smaller fish but we did manage 4 fish at 20"+ and the

    average was probably 16"-17" Biggest was taped at 23". Fish were fighting a bit better than I expected for the time of year.

    It was a long day but well worth it.

  5. After hearing some good reviews on the Patagonia Watermaster II's I have decided to give them a try and go away from the

    Simms. I just got them so it will take some time on the water to see how they will work out. They sure fit good.

  6. I broke my 5 wt TICrX in Alaska after bringing in a dozen pink salmon ranging from 3 -5 lbs so it did alright. All this after I broke a friends 8 wt Sage. By the end of the 2 days I was down to using my Dads back up spinning outfit. From now on I'll bring at least 2 spare rods per trip. As soon as I got home I paid the $25.00 and was back in business right away with the TFO where the Sage took a month to get back. So yes, it's cheap but when you can get back on the stream quick it's a nice option.

  7. 1) Judas Priest at the Saddledome a couple of years ago, middle stage second row!!! Awesome!!!! 2) Motley Crue and Aerosmith at the dome last December was great (well Aerosmith was great the Crue were there). 3) Tim McGraw about 3 years ago at the Dome believe it or not was right up there. I went just to keep the wife company and ended up loving it.
