I would consider it for what it was and we need more of- a random act of kindness, simply pay it forward someday. I often wonder if I'm transgressing some unspoken secret river codes as well so I simply try to follow the golden rule.

You could also go to an electrical wholesaler like Nedco and grab some welding cable either the same gauge or larger,depending how far you 're going, nice and flexible too. Check too for SOW or SOOW (looks like black extension cord) and ensure the insulation is suitable for outdoor usage.

You know you're bored when... I developed a small rip in my rod sock/sleeve whatever you call that thingy and had an idea 
I took it to my local tailor and had him set me up with some velcro so I could put the rod in with the reel still on, handy for a short drive and you don't want to stick it in the tube. Check it out. Wondering also, anyone customized their tubes for the same reason and if so what did you do?

River was high and fast with the rain, I was almost maxed out to the top of my waders too. By the time I got out it was almost out of sight in even faster water with no good route to chase it down. Not worth going under for $35.x's 2.Was there a reason you couldn't go after it, in the water or on shore?
Sorry to hear that you lost it though.

Exactly, it was almost like it was smiling at me too. River was raging fast, I should have heeded it's warning. I felt like Bear Grylls for a second trying to cross, stumblebum. By the time I got out it was racing down some rapids.Oh darn. That's like when Tom Hanks lost Wilson in Cast Away.

An offering for the fish gods, the river giveth and taketh away. Hope someone finds it and gets some action with the flies, half of them didn't see the water yet. Today was the test run.

Lost my new fly box with approx 25 flies today, sure floated well I'll say that much. Water was a bit higher than I thought, stumbled a little and it floated out of my bottom vest pocket which I left unzipped. Took a desperate swipe but it was gone lickety split. Watched it speed down the river bobbing merrily on it's way. Fished with the only fly I had until that snagged and broke my tippet. Gong show

Never figured out why people call walleye pickerel either, weird. We used to do well years ago at Waubeshene for pickerel, they're aggressive like pike for spoons & bushwhackers, pariculary yellow.I did. And Pickerel is a common misnomer for Walleye, I grew up calling Walleye, Picks. And I still do at times, but Walleye and Pickerel are like apples and oranges. 2 different things. It doesn't really matter what country you are in. A true Pickerel is related to a Pike and Musky and has the same "duckbill" A Walleye is related to the Perch and looks like a big Perch with teeth.
All that I am trying to say is that what everyone calls a Pick is not a Pick in reality. As I said before, go to the MNR regs and look for Pickerel seasons and limits. You won't find them, you will find Walleye however.
I'm not good with computers or I would post pics. If you are catching Pickerel in Quite, I would suspect they are Walleye and if you are catching them near Sarnia then they are definitely Walleye. I'm from Sarnia and have never seen a Pick there in 40 years.
I know Walleye will continue to be called Picks, I'm only trying to put the truth out there.
When I go to a restaurant and order Pickerel Diner, I know I am getting Walleye.
Alfie.

First time was a charm! It's about 3/8 ounce I believe, used it with two bb under a 4gr float on about 3' of 4lb fluoro leader.It's a lil foxee alright. I've used it for ice fishing before. How well does it work for bows?

True it could be anyone, could be a fake fish, could be one fish photographed a hundred times in different poses like some kind of fishing fashion model. Could be any picture gleaned from the internet. Never trust the internet. I kinda like my anonymity actually.
That could be anyone holding the fish! Beauty fish

After viewing Goodentight's recent Niagara photos the itch came back, I had to get out and scratch it. I didn't have to venture quite as far, and seeing as I only had an hour and a half before an appointment my expectations weren't high. I thought I would try a new stretch and after a slippery slide in was wading through open water. I set up the rod cast for about ten minutes then moved about 50 yards downstream where an old Chinese guy was drifting a nice wee pool. I asked if he minded me sharing the spot but he spoke no English, so I drifted just above his setup. After about ten minutes I moved below him and he offered me a smoke which I declined being a non-smoker. After another ten minutes passed I thought I better head back for my appointment. a couple more casts I thought and I'm outta here. Down goes the float and I'm into a decent fish, as a newbie my best to date. Now I'm thinking I guess I'll be late for that appointment! As I usually fish alone, here is the first picture of me actually holding a fish courtesy of the old Chinese guy, although maybe he was mad because he cut my head out of the picture.

Attended the meeting last night. Enjoyed a couple or three Guinness' and must say I was impressed by how intelligent and passionate both John and Louis when it comes to the fishery. I think it would be safe to say the C.R.A.A. ship is in very good hands. Nice meeting you John and hope to get out to a few events in the coming year and maybe I'll see you around Streetsville.

I spent more on food(can't resist junk food once in a while) and shooting some arrows(helps support my daughters club) than I did on gear. I just bought some flies and a fly box. Fire alarm messed a few people's days up I'm sure. I always hate when I see something (like the RV9 for $299) cheaper than my purchase price so if I'm not shopping I'm not browsing.

Enjoy man! Who cares what kinda reel or rod, you gotta start somewhere right? Now you just have to find some open river, it's pretty cool fighting one on a pin.

Sweet!Such a proud Scot deserves a lure named after him. I was making some molting craw patterns and I was going to call this "the Oatmeal Express" but I think I'll call it "the Coldhands Special" instead haha. Cheers.
