Solder and heat shrink all the connections. Use the heat shrink called " dual wall" (it has a heat activated sealer in it) and you'll never have any problems down the road.

When Russell's closed that was the end of in-expensive flies in Calgary. If a BB outdoors store has what you want great, more often they don't have what you want. Its my belief they want you to do more on-line shopping. Also their marketing seems to be out of touch...last Christmas I picked up an Airflo Bass taper fly line from the Calgary location out of the bargin room. Here in the east there is a Canadian chain called Sail, they recently ditched all their Spey stuff claiming no one used it. I said to the clerk," You haven't been out fishing great lakes steelhead in the last 15 years have you?"

Thanks for the responses. I sure love that Pincher to Burmis area and can hardly wait to get there! The wife actual said," Why don't you buy Vics shop!" Like they said in 'The Movie', "Buster wants to go fishing!" not start a second career

Hello, Some of you may recognize me from some of the Ontario forums. Right now I am in the semi-retired state and we are looking to finally move here to Alberta, most likely some where along highway 3 between Lethbridge and Crowsnest. I'd much rather be closer to Crowsnest Pass but wifey is a big city girl (Toronto...no ones perfect but don't let her hear that!) So, we've pretty much settled that the Pincher creek area will be O/K for her, now the point and two questions. We've looked into some real estate in Fort Macleod and without any specifics or peoples hot spots...is the Oldman there worth fishing? I've fished it pretty well every where else and know what its like but not there. I've heard various rumours and read some stuff but I've never seen anyone fish it there and we've been coming here 4 to 6 weeks a year for the last 12-15 years. I ask this because I'd like to be able just to walk or have a short drive to get an hour or two of fishing, and I know other places I can do that, is this one of them? Also Fort Macleod looks, well kind of a rough place if you get my drift...is it?
