Post by: frenchy on December 06, 2006, 04:56:05 PM: I think it is my worst (or best if you are a tackle shop) year ever...

waders
boots
Salmon fly rod
Salmon fly reel
Versitips
baitcaster
drift rod
cp rod
cp reel
float tube
1 day guided on the salt
1 steelhead class (my best investment so far)

I do not even count the floats, lines.... and I am sure I forget something

and I need some more stuff, do you know a good tackle shop? ;D

Post by: troutbreath on December 07, 2006, 12:11:40 AM: The Suzuki 4 stroke set me back a few bucks, but helped the enviroment. :) Then again I lost about 150 bouncing betties. :-\ The 24 packs cost a bit too. :-\ The new bar rod was a good deal though. :) But then again I never caught more than pike minnows on it. :-\ Lost about 300 feet of dacron off my Abu 7000 on a 5 pound pikey as well :-\

Hog many(sp) or however it's spelt.

Post by: coryandtrevor on December 07, 2006, 09:14:28 PM: Howdy,

Hey everyone, new to FWR. Nice to meet you.This is my first year going crazy on fishing . I was hooked so fast I didn't know what hit me !!! Fished only a few times as a youth and didn't get 'it' I guess........too bad for me :-[.I assume this is just the beginning..............

3 x Float Tubes : Caddis Nav II Pro ( worst design ever !!) , Caddis Ring style used ( too small, too old) , Outcast Trinity ( kick a** craft)

Waders : Caddis

Rods : Crappy Tire Collapsible ( broke it ), Rhino 7 1/2 footer and works well for now, A+N discount 5wt. fly rod

Reel: Some Quantum from 1994 , pretty tough actually.

Backpack : Osprey Crescent 60L

Lures, Tackle, Other Crap,

I've spent at least $1500 since May Long Weekend and have just fished rivers for the first time around here and now I'm really stoked. Investment : $1500 +. Fish caught during the 7 months : 200+ trout out of FV lakes and 13 Bull Trout and 2 Rainbows from the Squamish since the day it snowed . All but 5 Rainbows were released. Good Times :D
