  1. Great shots....Thanx....
  2. Awesome fish....Nice pics...Looked to be an awesome time....Jeleous...
  3. I measure all the small ones at B.H...For Terry...And measure a few of the hawgs...Measured alot of fish in that lake so I'm usually pretty close on the guesstemates....
  4. LMAO.... ...the sucker....Great effort....
  5. Not a bad idea....You would get into your backing more often.... Great info...Thanx guys...I think allot of us are looking at DT's and WF in a new prespective...I know I am... Cheers...Jeff...
  6. Ya...I did some roll casting with Myth's Rod (4wt Orvis..DT.Mastery Series line)...And ya...Did it ever roll cast like a hot damn.... I remember Myth saying..."When did you get so good at roll casting"...Musta bin the line....I guess???...
  7. Nice lookin fish...Nice job...
  8. Sorry to hear about your loss...Happened to me once(not the truck stolen)....But a big box of Flies amoung other things that were in my back pack...I stopped for gas in Lethbridge....Came back out...and gone....Hope you make out ok with everything... ...Jeff...
  9. Was in Calgary yesterday...Stopped in Fish Tales to pick up some supplys...Had a list my buddy gave me for some fly tying material...Some of the stuff that was on the list was not familiar to me...Asked for some help...And the guys were right on it...Good stuff...Had great friendly service there many times in the past aswell...My daughter had 20 bucks to her name...and she bought fly's....How many kids do that??? ...Just thought I would share that.... Cheers...Jeff...
  10. If I didn't have my kids for the weekend....Have a birthday party to go to tonight....And have to drive to Calgary in the morn....I Would go out to B.H....Just to get a fix....Myth 1228 have fished in some pretty crazy weather out there in the past...
  11. Thats what I'm starting to think???...As I casted my buddy's 4wt DT...For most the day...And really couldn't tell a big diff...But I am used to casting a 5wt...So can't really say as of yet...
  12. The reason I ask is...I casted Myth1228's 4wt rod two days ago...For most the day...And it seemed to cast just fine with a 4wt DT. Scientific Anglers Mastery series line...And it was a fair bit windy
  13. Sent my Orvis in for repair 2 weeks ago to Manchester Vermont...Guides were wore, cork was worn on it , tip was broke...So on and so on....Well they sent me a new one!!!...And a upgraded model too...Very impressed....Just thought I would share that...I put many of miles on that baby...I think that is what they thought aswell...
  14. Nice job!!!...Them would work awesome on the Crow at about size 16-18....My thoughts....
  15. When I started flyfishing...I always bought double taper...Cuz I was always in the rock, trees and every other place...but the water....And was very hard on lines...Flipped it around...and I had new line again...For the last few years I have used W.F. thinking it helps for distance...Does it??....It's been so long since I bought D.T...That I cant really remember if it makes a big diff or not ....With the price of flyline...I'm starting to think Double taper???...What do you guys think???
  16. I remember about 8-10 years ago....The big pigs would hang out in that channel thrughout the year...Untill...Most the fish found a freezer...
  17. I ordered a few...Seem to be good....
  18. Leave a couple for me on Monday ...As you were just hammering them in that last sretch
  19. It wasn't just them guys...But that topped it off... ...Myth and I went there to get away from the intruding line crossing fishermen...That one dude was standing 5 feet from my rod when I got back from checking out Shanes fish and giving him a hand...Thinking back...It is kinda funny...Bottom line is..."Do people have no more ethic???" Met the Calgary guys there today...Nice guys ...We had a chat... I then proceeded to go for a walk around the Whole lake to try to get out of the wind...No luck...The wind was blowing in just the right direction that no matter what!....You were in the wind....Checked out the east end creek that runs into the lake...And there were dozens of fish running up it in theire attempting to spawn... Cool sight...Looked just like Salmon trying to get up the shallows of about 3 inches of water...Didnt take any pics...But took a cool video...By the time I got back to the lot had a drink and a relax...Then Did a little fishing close to the parking lot (a little less wind)...The Calg boys were on there way...Never got to fish with them...But I'm sure there will be other times...Nice to meet you guys...Then fished with bloom and one of his buds for a while...we got into some fish...But bloom found the sweet spot and was hammering them....Had a good day...other than the wind!!! Cheers....Jeff..
  20. Hey kipper...I was out there Today...Just had to go for a walk and get away from the shoulder to shouldr fishing....I dont mind fishing beside fellow flycasters...But...When you are nailen fish...And the people get closer and closer to you...Its enuff to drive ya...They dont say HI or nothing...They just cary on like they were fishing 100 yards away from you ...like they were in the first place...There are ample fish in the lake...and getting closer and closer to a person that is catching fish...dont do you no good...Thats my bitch for the day...I'll be out tommorow...You guys from Calg or any other areas see me or Myth1228...On B.H...Say Hi... I like to meet fellow flycasters....And give a little Advise...(If needed )
  21. Agreed...As far as small Southern Alberta Rivers...That is my Fave...
  22. Very true...The fishing is great that month...But I'm ussually working then...And dont get alot of time out there that month... Fished most the day with Myth1228...We got away from the shoulder to shoulder fishing...Found a spot that was producing some good fish...Alot of them...Many many double headers...Largest fish today was 22 inches...and allot of fish at the 20 mark....Caught a few more fish with GBD...They seemed to be doing good health wise...I must say.. this is the best fight from these fish in all of the past springs... Cheers...Jeff..
  23. Sept. and Oct...Are the best....Not allot of weeds...Fish are in the warmer water...Fish are way more active...And take you into the backing on several occations...
