I have a three to four hour drive to my closest fly shop, fortunately it is located along the Crowsnest River. Wholsesale Sports is an hour and a bit, has a pretty decent selection of tying...

Fly Fusion is a great read. I also enjoy Flyfishing and Tying Journal.
I really miss Wild Steelhead and Salmon though. That was a good read!

In addition to tying Clousers etc with it I use it as an under wing for many of my marabou streamers. It provides just enough support to help prevent fouling of the marabou. Sometimes I'll use the...

I like to start out in still waters with either a Picket Pin un-weighted so it can fished dry, wet or as a bucktail in size 8 or 10 or an Alexandra size 8. Both of these have been excellent producers...

28 years on the 18th. Lots of good times behind us and yet to come!

Your dentist or docs office is a great place to get tools. I have been getting my forceps, scissors and tweezers there from day one. Once they are worn out for MEDICAL uses they are often disposed...

That is a good looking rifle! I often just pick-up a game bird license just so I can carry my shotgun as I wander the woods in the fall. Vey casual affair, find a grouse here and there and bag it....

It is one of the busiest times for me as well. I also enjoy hunting deer, elk and moose as well as upland game and waterfowl. Besides the healthy meat, I keep feathers and hide for my flies. On a...

Excellent post. Many of us both flyfish and hunt. I enjoy both activities, esp in Oct when one can have a cast n blast trip for trout and grouse in the foothills of Alberta.
Safety is paramount...

Uni 6/0 and 8/0. I like the selection of colours and the strength for diameter, mind you I have a good stock of UNI I picked up several years ago. Use UNI 3/0 for spinning deer hair or Kevlar.

That is a great looking site. Thanks for posting that!

Ice cold beer with fresh trout and grouse in the coals on an October cast-n-blast in the Rockies!! I love fall camping and the food is all there for the gathering.

Ha- that looks like my yard here in SE Alberta. Started snowing Saturday evening and was still trying this AM!! Springtime in Alberta.

Bullshead is a nice little place to go. I skipped it last year, spent time exploring a few other places......this year, I'll be fishing it more often though.
I was posted to Suffield in 2000,...

It is amazing how much fishing there is in the dry South Country. I enjoy exploring the S Sask for goldeyes and dodging rattlesnakes. I hope to spend some time in the "Pass" this year, haven't been...

Thanks. I'll certainly keep it in mind. Would be nice to hook up with some folks. I'm in Redcliff. I retired from the Canadian Forces two years ago with just shy of 27 years service. I'm not sure...

Thanks, I'll give these folks a try too.

Interesting, last I heard Scintilla was located in Montana. Could be why I can't find it given they moved. Thanks, I'll give them a try.

Unless something has changed, here in Canada it is quite legal to have polar bear fur as the ban is a US law. I just ensure I don't have any flies in my box when I cross the border that are tied with...

Thanks all for the welcome. I've been looking around for a great flyfishing/tying forum and I feel this one is as good as they come. I'm certain I'll enjoy my visits and I hope I can add a little to...

I have been looking for the website for "Scintilla Dubbing" for quite sometime. Is this company still in business? I occ find the dubbing in shops but would like to acquire bigger packages of it as I...

I use a fixed Regal that I have had for years. Griffin waste catcher is the only add-on. Regal replaced my original Thompson vise which was a replacement for the forceps I started with. They were...

Just wanted to say howdy from SE Alberta. I have been flyfishing/tying flies for 30 plus years. Started out in Newfoundland, cut my flyfishing/tying teeth on Atlantic Salmon, have fished in Manitoba,...

Wow, what a mess. I have family in Branson and they have told me about the rain/high water in the lake but......WOW! Hope the fishing gets better when the water resides. We had some flooding in 05...
