flyfishfairwx Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 guess mine is pretty obvious...but not..it's short for ArticWolf ®, you will note that my user name is actually spelt incorrectly, that was on purpose, then I got it registered, using Wolfie now is so much easier than ArticWolf ®, or even AW,and the reason behind it was that was to be my next wolf pup, coming to me from the Yukon..but I never did get it..........Wolfie Hi Wolfie You may have seen pics of my GSD, German Shepherd Dog, Fischer on here, how about a pic of your Wolf.. and what is his/her name ? Thanks Just curious, Fischer is 19 months old and 100lbs, how big does a domesticated Wolf get ? Thanks in advance.. but will understand if you decline.. Quote
fishnbugdude Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 In pest control for the last 18 years and like to fish - with fly fishing mainly about the insects - well it just went together I thought. Quote
Wolfie Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Flyfishfairwx..no problems telling you about my Wolf..'She' is an Alpha Coastal Wolf, with her as a male Russian..Nikita, only cause at the time that tv show was on..the spy, Nikita. She has been with me since 5 1/2 weeks old, and is now 9 years, but only because of the food she has got since I've had her, bringing her to 120 lbs. In the wild..she would have died by now for the life span is between 7-8 years old, as well as she may only weigh 60-75 lbs., do to the diet of mainly fish and black tail deer, but not everyday like she gets fed with me, although she does get raw meat and fish each day. this is Nikita, my companion, Oh by the way, we both came from Vancouver Island where she was born and a bit of info...she is 'drug' trained..........Wolfie Quote

Fisherwoman Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 The internet is a pretty faceless place. In this forum we read each other's posts and, until we actually meet, formulate opinions about the character of the writers. What does your handle say about you? When I started fly fishing again, I caught a lot of different things including myself, before I started catching fish - hence the name. Hi, My nick name.... I am on the fly all the time, I fish. I am a woman... Fly Fisher Woman.. Thanks. Quote
CDone Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Nice looking pup there wolfie my mutts oh, and the handle, CD (my initials) and one. Colin Quote
monger Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Fish like me...I handle quite a few...my fishing buds started calling me a monger (rarely any bonked/fewer sold). We have been exercising fish together for over 20 years now. We thought about a team name "Mongers R US". My friend used to have this button on his vest... "No autographs please". He believes he is the Captain. Things just haven't been the same since he lost his button though Quote
SteveM Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I borrowed my handle from the most excellent TV show 'Arrested Development'; one of the funniest shows EVER!!! Scott Baio played a lawyer named Bob Loblaw. Try saying "Bob Loblaw's Law Blog" 3 times fast; or, "Bob Loblaw Lobs Law Bomb"-these are actual lines from the show. That's my story, & I'm sticking to it; do not believe anything Castuserraticus may say about the possible origin of my handle... (This has been debated before... ) Peace out! Steve Quote
Guest Sundancefisher Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 The internet is a pretty faceless place.

When I started fly fishing again, I caught a lot of different things including myself, before I started catching fish - hence the name. I never really thought about it. I live in Sundance and fish... If I had to honestly say why it is because I needed something easy to remember Quote

Golfman09 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Mine is my other Obsessive Compulsive passtime.....which has taken a back seat to fly fishing at the moment. Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I got mine from the guys on this board When I sold my old guiding company my handle was "bowcrow" which I had been building for 7 or 8 years a rep with that name (and today the company carries on actually). But after I sold it I figured sometimes I am a pretty opinionated guy and the new owner might not want some of the smartass things I say being associated with his company, so I asked the forum, whats a good new nickname for me? Hawgstoppah was the result, becuase #1 - I liked it, #2 - it was the best one suggested, and #3... I used to catch a lot of big fish on a eeerily regular basis according to the fine folks here. I still do now, I just don't post them anymore... to much gripin and moaning on here these days, plus... I didn't buy the FFC tape measures when they came out so all mine are 23's and 24's not 27's and 28's like y'all seem to think your catchin! Quote
Swede Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I took mine because of a magical day I had on stauffer creek. It was years ago when I was struggling to learn fly fishing on my own, there was no internet only books. So i was reading some Bob Scammell and he said june 12 is about right for hitting the green drakes on stauffer. So i spent a few days tying green drake patterns and hit stauffer on the 12 of june just like bob said . Well I must of hit the hatch on the perfect day because for about 3 hours that little creek just came alive with drakes popping and big fish everywhere. Every drift was either a nice brown or a swallow picking your fly up in the air 10 feet before dropping it. To this day it remains the benchmark I compare all other days too. Quote
Guest tallieho Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 mine came by simply as tally that one up you fishing hoerr.first,biggest ,most for a toonie..... Quote
fishguide76 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 ive been guiding for a while and i was born in 76 so fishguide76 kinda lame but all the cool names are always taken. Quote
firefrog Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Well, I'm actually a frog that's been burning for a while. Quote
slingshotz Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I used to do a lot of mountain biking and downhilling, lately fly fishing has overtaken my biking but one of my first high end bikes was and still is a Slingshot. Since the handle Slingshot is so common I just decided to add an Z to the end to make it unique. http://www.slingshotbikes.com/images/sling-power_callout.jpg, the new ones are pretty much the same but mine was one of the original yellow ones.

kipper Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 'cause the name "troutlover" was already taken Quote
northfork Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 My handle is the name of the road that leads me to paradise. Quote
annapolis Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I picked mine because the Annapolis River runs in my backyard in Nova Scotia, beautiful river. Quote
theiceman2 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Killed a guy in prision with an icepick....no but it would be a way cooler story Well my first initial and last name spell MADAMS, little too much like madame, so there goes rickr's creativity out the door. I live for the river, wind, rain, even sideways sleet, so Iceman is is. Some other numb nutz on here already has "theiceman" so I was real creative and put a 2 after it. Quote
PeteZahut Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I heard mine on a sitcom once for a guy using it on a fake id. Made me laugh. Quote
Lundvike Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Lund - is my hometown Vike - or viking was a nickname in university referring to the Minnesota Vikings, even though I am a 49ers fan and I do have swedish heritage. Quote
