LMAO that's awesome. i'll keep an eye out for a vehicle with a small dog skewered with a spey truck'n down deerfoot

LMAO!!! i need one of those for my cat. the hell spawn that he is. aww, thanks for thinking of me.

i have water striders, combo sole, hiking rubber on the outside, and the middle is felt and studs. i love them. very comfortable, so far durable. has the scuff toe material and really good ankle support. i had a pair of just felt soles and then i used my hiking boots for awhile. i do find that the studs make a difference in slime covered rocks and loose shale or gravel slopes

when i read the topic, i saw, cool accessories for your cat. i need more coffee

might as well, clive was here last night and didn't so go for it.

that's what the map says.

i'm not going to post the REALLY bad pictures. but this isnt the greatest. no net needed for this little guy. but sometimes i wish i had more hands.

Din, different 'competition'. you were talking about the attractor nymph tying competition being run by dr bulltrout. this is a set of flies as a group creation, and if i'm thinking correctly, it will either be a part of a swap, or vote on mascot.. depends on what flytyer has in mind. we just need to brainstorm on a way to get this moving a bit. it is difficult to 'pick' the next person from random because who knows if they will actually post. and then we wait and wait.

since you are from back east there Harry, will foregive your lack of geography in the pacific. Honolulu is on the Island of Oahu, not the "big Island" of Hawaii. although a lot of people do get the 2 mixed up because Honolulu is the commerce centre, most people expect it to be on the island that the state is named for. but alas no. no, i didnt fly fish in Kauai - another island. next major trip i do will be the south pacific and the other islands of hawaii. i was young. we lived there off and on with my grandfather for a few months of the year until i was about 10 and then we only went to visit a few more times after that until he passed away. weel before i started fly fishing. too bad though, the aquatic life is amazing. i swam with sea turtles though. Hey, dog is on the cover of the national enquirer this week headlining that he is a racist. lol. saw that at 7-11 yesterday.

my god. beautiful yes. but talk about no personal space, getting lines crossed up and so on. bow is not so bad. saw one guy leaving the river to day and that was it.

deer hair post the site that Flytyer posted is great for info. the link i posted is a thread we just had that goes over a bunch of stuff and may answer your questions for treating.

Rock - there arent many of us, which is the why i get all the funny looks and yes they do say things like that, actually happened when i was meeting play doh and he was already at the river and Knotlikely went ahead of me. rickr - i would love that. but i get myself in enough trouble as it is. lol LF. generally it isnt the guys who are fishing that seem to have a problem. a few of the older ones give me the double take - that was the 'ur a girl?' question. i've had that on more that one occation. lol mostly the guys 55/60 and under seem to very accepting and willing to share. the grandpa over 80 treat me like a granddaughter. there just seem to be a few 60- 80 who are still feisty enough to think the river is theirs and a girl should not be fishing unles they are with their husbands, it just isnt done, this single female thing... i think it just weirds them out or confusses them or something. i think there are a few more days. maybe i will look again. but then i would have to get the pink reel.

that's actually a good idea LF. i've been waiting but havent been called either. i think rickr has a point, i have noticed that for the most part, traffic has been slow on the forum for the past few weeks or so. everyone trying to get out and do that last bit fishing because yu never know when the weather will turn really nasty and we have been lucky so far. soon we will be in to christmas, i know my weekends are filling quickly. but come january and that long look forward to april/may sets in, sigh. we are going to need something to do. since the PM thing is not working based on the individuals called next, let's brain storm on how to keep this going forward. i think every 3-4 turns would be fair. i think there are enough of us who check on a regular basis that would post if it was 'open' that 4 turns would keep someone from hijacking a fly and you would probably get to post only 1 or max 2x a fly anyway. before starting the next one... just a thought

lol, right on. i was originally going to say 27, but i figured my 'messuring' technique was off, so i went a little smaller.

no shame intended. at least if someone started to comment on your pink rod you could say, hey i bought this to show support for my sister. let them figure it out. i know what the colour stands for and the meaning. (side bar, my dad died of colon ca when i was 12). the colour reference isnt the issue. although in general, i'm not a pink girl, a little too girly fo me. however, the colour pink is such a female colour - hence the reason it was chosen for breast ca. although not singularily a woman's disease, as a small percentage of men do suffer from breast ca, it is prodminantly a woman's disease. most people these days are fairly knowledgible about what pink represents because of the advertising, which is great. Think of it this way, me being female, showing up alone on the river with a pink rod. there are still a few ignorant asses out there who look at me sideways as it is. think i'm just out there to give it a go, poser, shall we say. i'm single and i fish alone in the city for the most part. it isnt as though i'm the girlfriend or the wife hanging out with my man for a day of fishing. which i think is really cool if you have something like that to share in a relationship. i have heard comments from my male companions regarding women who go fishing with their husbands and boyfriends, after forgetting that i am either A, female, or B, within earshot. 'aww, isnt that cute, she's trying to fish to spend time with the hubby.' in a very condicending tone. 'ugh, make me puke. please .' but it is funny when i have to remind them that i out fished them that day. lol it is hard enough to be taken seriously as a woman in a male majority sport and not necessarily from the men who actually fly fish but arses out walking their dogs who think it is funny or cute. it does get a little annoying after continuous comments like "hey, you going to go down there and show those boys how to do it? haha" (actual quote) or "hey, you're a girl." umm, thanks for noticing? i do take my fishing seriously and i can hold my own. but to then to show up with a pink rod makes it a little more difficult, i can imagine comments i would get from that. i dont need a pink rod to stand out in a crowd and i certainly dont need the jerkoffs telling me it's a guy thing. PFO smile nice and wave. now if i could have an irridescent purple one with royal blue on it. that would be cool. like my pool cue it is unfortunate that my attitude has been shaped by previous experiences on the river, parking lots near the river, lakes and ponds but it has. there are a lot of jerks out there who dont understand, i love my fishing as much as any guy out there.

26.5

so it should be 6.38CAD humm, wonder if the US price will go up

depending on where i am, i use 3x - 5x

what does the World Wildlife Federation have to do with this..? j/k i know WWE. which i personally cannot stand whatsoever. complete garbage. i only enjoyed watching Dog when they were in Honolulu because i recognize a lot of the areas from when i lived there. about the only 'reality' shows that i will watch are So you think you can dance and Gene simmons Family Jewels. both kids seem so normal, considering... and they are pretty funny without being crass and crude.

mr. barbie indeed. lol nice one Rev. ok. Kenbow, how big were your fish, not to be mistaken for your IQ and waist size???

i got my straggle fritz today. yippy!!! it is amazing stuff. look forward to trying this stuff out. :D

where is everyone...

they're dope. sweet pix. love the terrain. cant wait for next season

sweet rod, but i just dont think i could show up on the river to fish with a pink rod. at least not be taken remotely seriously. now if it was camo...

Glenbow = barbie hummm. EYE C
