FISHEAD'S BOW RIVER JET &WADE ...An all inclusive Jetboat trip on the Lower Bow. More info. from James... "Client picks the trip...April or May...Any Friday... Lunch, Beer, flies, gear included etc..."I can take two fisherman and will provide a great "gourmet lunch" & all other crap required...Like to start early...Maybe a trip deep into the " reserve" or just get a different look on the spots you already know. Cheers...It is a great cause...."Bring it on"...James..." -Current bidder: $525/SnaG05 "SOLD" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. GUIDED FISHING ON PRIVATE LAKE (one or two anglers) Your Host/Guide for this adventure will be H20. -Current bidder: $300/Don Andersen "SOLD" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21. HAWGSTOPPAH'S CROWSNEST STALK & WADE...July-Sept. A guided day of fishing with the man who knows the secrets of the Crownest River. -Current bidder: $400/ReelLife & yodatrout "SOLD" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- More info. about these trips from Brian.... "Just to let folks know, the trips will meet in the Crownsnest Pass (or at the Gap), as I won't be able to pick people up from Calgary, unfortunately. And, it's the same as my old trips used to be when I operated my guiding service. Bring yer own lunch/snacks/beverages and prepare to start early and stay as late as you want... none of this 8 hour stuff... this can start at 7am and end at 11pm if you want. Be prepared to do a bit of hiking, if you want the best spots, but if the winning bidder is not able to walk far, I have some nice spots for that too. I'd like to do this on a Friday, Sat. or Sun., unless I have a gap in work schedule. Winning bidders need to be flexible when arranging the dates of their trip. I have 2 rods that can be set up for the trip, or bring your own (recommended rod is a 3-5wt with floating line, and if you got an 7-8wt kicking around in case we spot some Bulls, have it lined with fast sink tip)."

Flytyer Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Note Item 42 is from the current "Luck of the Draw Swap". These flies are a compliation of various tying methods, geographical location and styles. It's going to be a nice mix for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryfly Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Greg and adc, I will "sell" framed and matted 11 by 14-inch prints of any of the following ... buyer's choice of any picture. Will mail express post to anywhere in Alberta. All framed prints will have a small "postcard" on the back describing the picture and location. All of these picture were taken by me. Signed on back ... or not signed. (adc sez they should go for less if signed. ) This is like eBay's "Buy it now" ... the bid price is $125 per print ... includes framing and postage. If you want to pay more, that's okay too. (These typically go for $100 to $200 and silent auctions at fundraisers. The Burmis pix recently went for $200 at the local library silent auction.) Limit is a max of four framed prints...I will donate four only! So first four buyers get a print. Got that? I will be out of Dodge until March 12 so won't be able to mail until later that week. Burmis tree and moon..this is a composite picture created in Photoshop. The two originals are my pix tho.

ogilvie Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Item 40 could you outfit a 7 to 9 year old???? if so I will go $350.00 Yes, The waders come in as small as a size 4(UK) and the Hi-Elastic Waders come in a a size 3 if needed. I think the whole Idea is to make fishing a much more accessable sport for the youth and even the ladies. The junior series of rods are 'I think",the smartest concept going...make an affordabe and accessable fly rod and gear series that performs well,is not cheap and clunky and lasts as it says it will. The fly vests come as a S,M,L in the Junior Size... You can exchange the waders for the hi-elastic if you need a size 3. Enjoy and thanks for supporting any protection and enhancement project..
