Guest ArticWolf Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Oh well..guess I must..anyway this tall middle-aged gent came over to my place today to convince me that here in this forum consists of Canadians either from Alberta and or from BC...but what the hell does he know anyways, cause he got into my silver flask that was at that time filled with none other than a man's drink..JD ..but not anymore ..so..was he right?

dave robinson Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well, if you follow along for a while, you will find that the vast majority of those who post here are not only Canadian and Albertan, but most are from Edmonton and area. We do have a few who post from elsewhere (Red Deer, Calgary, Crowsnest, some in BC), but they are generally friends of or know local Edmonton members. That's not surprising, since Norhtern Lights Fly Tyers is the Edmoton Chaper of Trout Unlimited. So Arctic Wolf, where are you from? What are your fishing interests? And how can we make you feel welcome? I know at least one member who is a Burbon fan although I hesitiate to guess his brand preference. There's a few of us who think a man's drink should have more hair on it and be brewed by men with the courage to wear kilts. I won't count the guy who adulterates Gods nectar with 5 alive. He' s a good fisherman though, even if he can't stick to fly pattern recipie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years Dave , I've tried a lot of different brews but always seems to come back to JD...those that drink that stuff that the kilt wearers drink....pffffffft...have never aquirred a taste for... got to ask you a question or two m8...#1...how come I can only tick something I like but 'once' per day...tried to tick your post to me...got an error...#2...do you object if I use my own smiles instead of the ones in here... ............thanks for letting me know that most of the group is north of me...that is till I relocate.........Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave robinson Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Not sure about the ticking thingie. Don't do that myself. You'll have to ask Ken or Kristi about that. i don't think your own smilies wold hurt.. I'm presuming you can just psat them in. You don't have to be stuck in Cowtown.You can awlays come up this away for a fish. Or possibly meet half way on the Red Deer when it opens again. i know one guy that Emmerson and I meet there from time to time. As for BC, in the not too distant future, when the wife and I retire, we'll be moving to Victoria. My daughter is keeping the house warm for us while she goes to U Vic Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ArticWolf Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 aah..........you made it you old coot...I just checked to see if I can pop up an image here but.....can't do it..looks like this forum makes you use an out side host , then tells you to put up the url...a little behind the times I say..surely the staff [Admin] can get the one that all you need to do is click on a button.."upload image"..which will allow you to take pics directly from ones PC...this is 2012, and upgrades to sites are always advancing... ..So Chris..as long as you don't tell anyone that I'm here ...relaxing in the Alberta sun.....until I get myself back in BC, where I can once again hang this outside my door..it would be great!

dipperdan Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hello, actually we have had that benefit of posting Pics. The site has just had some upgrading , but it looks like that just got overlooked. I'm sure they will bring it back . Fishn's about to commence into 2nd gear, looken forward to it. Maybe Dennis will post a fish or 2...... Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ArticWolf Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 well first off we all got to do something about a location to show off our talent..Qfly as a rule likes to put up his videos of his fantastic ties..do you not have a separate place for that?...and do you not have a break down of the flies...Nymphs..for River, StillWater..Wets for both, Dries for both,Streamers or lures, so where do we start flogging this forum with our talent....huh???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristi Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 hmm our videos get posted into YouTube where you can subscribe to the NLFT RSS feed and as for having this site all divvied out into sub folders/chapters that has yet to happen.. I thing some organization and a little direction (for me) I could help with that.. something I will check into. That idea doesn't sound to bad at all Daniel. If you wanted to send me an out like I could get it going for the forum. I'd have to double check with a couple of the admins and executive first..

Guest redfly Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Aw Daniel ya no be telling me I have to enter flies in here m8 I thought I joined to have some fun and share some knowledge on tying I have found no place to put flies as of yet Hmm maybe they can open up some new areas for flies as you have said.We need a spot for this before we can get going on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisS Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Good morning Guys and Ladies some great ideas keep them coming. I like the dividing into sub topics. I've notice thats become very common on the Web forums. Just bare with us as some of this stuff is new to us so sometimes it's baby steps. Once Ken and Dave and Kristi's lives slow down (snow is about gone so we will get Kristi's feet planted more firmly on the gound now) Ken real easy to get along with and I'm sure talking to him he will find out how to do most of this. Great to have you guys on board looking forward to the interaction and yes Artic Wolf I will post of pictures Tight Lines Always Dennis S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristi Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ha ha Dennis "(snow is about gone so we will get Kristi's feet planted more firmly on the ground now)" your funny! Yes as it seems my feet err foot is going to be planted firmly now.. Although I have an opportunity to take off again, unfortunately it wont happen till next season with this injury i have. Still am using crutches.. may have to have surgery :'( *sucks* I'm here to take some of the pressure off of Ken and yes we will get the sub sections going.. I can do that so as long as i have an OK from the biggies. (you guys) 8). Anyways I look forward to putting my handy work into this forum to help rebuild/structure it. Just need an out line of what they "BOYS" would like to see for sub sections as I have very little experience with what flies to fish where and when and all the sorts that go with. ~ Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristi Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I can categorize based on what i know.. Dry Flies and Poppers - Surface fly for lakes and rivers Nymphs - Bottom fly for lakes and rivers Streamers - throughout water column of lakes and rivers Wet Flies - throughout water column of lakes and rivers Salmon Flies - throughout water column of rivers and streams Saltwater Flies - throughout water column, flats, reefs and mangroves Is this the sort of sub catagories your all looking for?? send me feed back and I'll get it done.

dipperdan Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Great looking site, just browzed.

Guest ArticWolf Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 well it was Gary..aka..Garhan who suggested to me that we..him and I could bring some movement to this site..he told me there were a lot of good ppl in here, both the staff and the membership..well I said it will rock in a month or two..so now Dan..you will see lots of flies for all occasions..and one of the "Best" ways to better one's self and that is to join into the Fly Swaps, that will be going on in here shortly...and in no time Dan, you and those that join will improve tremendously...
