I fish for Pike with rods in the 7 to 9 weight range. If you are likely to tie into some larger fish go with a 9-wt. They will handle the fish better and they cast 6 inch long flies a lot better. ...
The only problem I've had with shipping stuff in from the US is UPS and their charges.
My work takes me across the Canada/US border on a semi regular basis (several times per year). The US border...

I started to add it all up and stopped when I got to $10,000, eyeballing everything else I'd say I probably top off around $15,000. If you'd asked me off the top of my head I'd have said about...
...and BC is just up the road too.
I use a stiff 20 lb mono "shock" leader for my pike fishing and I've yet to lose one to a chomped leader. I've caught several in the 10 lb range and many many up to 5 or 6 pounds with absolutely no...
I know 3 or 4 guys who have a 0-wt, but nobody who owns a 1-wt, so my experience is quite different from yours.
I fish a lot of small streams that contain smallish fish. Where I mostly use my...
