Hatzic lake in BC, near Mission

Haha! That was from the Cowichan River in BC, so it must have migrated a looong way to be in the bow?

It's just the pic, Chubb

Yeah, I got mail today; a bunch of foam flies that look uncannily like the ones in your other post. What a coincidence!:)
Just like your Blindman Stones, they look like real fish catchers; can't wait to test 'em out. It's the right time of year for those, after all.
Once again I find myself thanking you for your generosity; you are a generous soul, Chubb. Maybe the AO forum should register as a charity, so you can at least get a tax deduction for the gifts you bestow upon us...

Sending good fishing karma your way, my friend!

Your welcome Bob, but its you thats helping me. Tying is therapy for my hands and its hard to be motivated when flies arent out fishing and just stacking up.
good luck

I know lots of you are hesitant to post fishing pics for numerous reasons, thats fair. Its been the best crankbait season for walleyes for us in he past 4 years.

That is an awesome pic Chub. I love how those have been bashed all to heck.

Here are a few old ones of my first and only salmon fishing trip. What a blast catching pinks on a 6wt and chums on an 8wt. These are from Bella Coola, BC. What a nice part of the country.

tararuss, what you need to do is put your curser over the photo on photobucket (don't click on the photo, click on the "image code" that will drop down). Copy that, then on Alberta Outdoorsman, click on the "insert image" button on the menu. Enter your copied "image code" and the photo should appear when you post.

gota love small fish :sHa_shakeshout:

[QUOTE=chubbdarter;1056801]Noice work Snowshoes......more wieght? bigger hook?


weight was good. we were in a lot of slow deep water. did have quite a few short hits and near hook-ups though. longer shank hook possible? 6 casts into the first pool and two different fish showed themselves to the fly but hit short. impressive, but not at all surprised they worked well.

What weight of rod do you use to throw those flies? Must a chuck-and-duck situation with the weight of them :lol:

[QUOTE=Daceminnow;1056820]K will stretch em out a bit

this one is a cannon ball Duck if you hear it whistle...lol

She is heavy..she is 4 inches long and she has a hook in her rear end!!!!!!:sHa_shakeshout::sHa_shakeshout:

any premium 6 wgt in the hands of a reasonable caster is suffice.....just dont let the fly hit you or the blank

I can't wait to toss around some of your flies!

Awesome looking flies Chubb. :sHa_shakeshout:

I'm no artist. I can hardly tie my boots so they are extra impressive to me. :sHa_shakeshout:

did you get them yet?

Thanks RF....if you flyfish pm me your addy.....be a honour having the notoriously famous RF chucking my fur..lol

Working today, I'm running home in less than 30 minutes to check. :sHa_shakeshout:

edit:Blindman stone caught a pike on the Blindman River
