speyghillie Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hey Mr Island Guy, Funny weather everywhere, though i am just leaving for Glasgow airport and it's beautiful. Spoke with Harry at Clan, will give you a call when i get over the pond. Was fishing with Scott a couple of days ago, so got some good news, DVD wise too. Speak to you soon. Just wanted to add, one of the guys has changed his date from the Saturday to the Sunday, so i have one place left for anybody wanting to get into Speycasting available on the Saturday. Gordon.

reevesr1 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Minus 7, High winds, 80% chance of snow. Good luck with that boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisD Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Any chance of moving the class back a week, at -7 the learning curve would be a flat line, and all you will catch is a cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alhuger Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Guys, I just finished out a day of instruction w/ Gordon (it was short because I have to work today). Do not let the snowfall fool you, the river was fantastic with little to no wind in the area we were and the snow was no problem. Plenty warm. In fact, fish were rising all of the place! So don't sweat tomorrow. I wish I could go actually. al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headscan Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Looking forward to tomorrow. Just gonna layer up the same as I do when I fish in January and February. It'll be perfect practice for winter run steelheading - the kind of day that separates the hardcore from the pantywaists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogilvie Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Have fun tomorrow you guys...the weather here on the Island isn't much better...our rivers are very low again and that holds the Steelhead in the deep water pools and they are not going to budge until the melt begins...perhaps next week. If you can find time Gord email me FIngerless gloves..ouch C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogilvie Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 How did the day go..Had to work at the shop today so didn't have a chance to fish until after 4 pm...the sky was blue,no winds and the Coast Mountains were very visable across the Straight. Hooked into a major Cutthroat Trout near the mouth of the Big Qualicum River,snapped my leader like it was string. However, Nanaimo,30 miles to the south,had more than a foot of Snow today and had to close several of the main roads in order to clean them...Reminds me of Calgary somewhat...Hope you all had a great time C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speyghillie Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hi Guys, Due to the weather i will have to cancel today, i was really hoping to do something today but the weather is just wild with that wind. I will try and pick another date, but its just hopeless in this weather. Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
