There's no reason why you can't bottom bounce, chuck hardware and drift floats with the same rod... That shouldn't be very difficult.. No need for 8 different rods to catch steelhead, lol.

I just rinse the Blackbird shot before using it to get most of the dust off

Noodle rods were all the rage back in the day.. They've pretty much have zero back bone and bend well into the handle. Even with a parabolic curve a rod can have some balls (Take an IMX for example).. Noodle rods probably killed more fish then anyone ever imagined, lol! I can't imagine trying to cast with one of those things. It would be like casting a spoon with one of my custom Fenwick fibreglass rigger rods.

Roy, everyone I'm sure is at the beer counter :)

Check out the Shimano Convergence line.. Cheap and they do the job. I've landed all kinds of steelhead/chinooks with mine.. It's nothing fancy but the fish don't seem to care very much Right around the $70 range.

That is pretty crazy, lol.

It is 2... Guys on shows always take the 2 from the cameraman, lol!

You can tell Carlyle is trying to keep Kadri grounded... Exactly what the kids needs.. Hoping for a good effort tonight against the Rangers!

Good god those things are ugly I'm sure it put up a good fight however. Nice job Rich.

Nice day, but man was the wind crazy up here today.

I'd rather pick out my own stuff at BPS, lol.

Contact Starcraft directly, they'll be able to give you the paint code. After that anyone will be able to mix up some for ya.

My condolences bud, that's a tough one. However, you've always got those great memories to look back on.

Sweet!!! Still lots and lots of ice up here.

I'm fairly certain there aren't any parts of Bronte with have been granted streambed rights... Even if there were, you could fish it from a canoe as long as you weren't touching bottom (ie anchored) As far as landowners are concerned, I try to be friendly and open a conversation.. If they aren't having it and just want me to leave, I oblige. Nothing to get in a huff over. However, if I'm within my legal right to fish if standing in the stream itself, that's what I'll do.

I see the Darwin comments have already been posted, lol.

No Yamaha option?

Krupas shows were the best...

Who's mad? It certainly isn't me. That's a lot of bucks going into the economy up there.

Similar to what the township of Essa has?

Depends on the flouro... I've found many that don't have the abrasion resistance that mono has...

Hasn't been ice on the southern shore of Lake O for a while.... Now let's just get that water heated up a bit for spring kings!

Who's judging anyone? I don't care if those guys want to hunt polar bears, they've obviously have the $$$ to do it.. Your first post about how this fine would be devastating to a normal citizen... I said normal citizens aren't hunting polar bears, which they aren't... To me hunting apex predators like polar bears and wolves is bad karma..

Don't be stupid. Your every day Joe isn't dropping 35k to shoot polar bears. Common sense would dictate this. Trophy hunters like the guys from Mexico (aka rich people) do this...

Like I said.... your every day normal citizen isn't hunting polar bears. I'll repeat it a 3rd time if needed, lol..
