    E2 is a great rod if you can find one, and you cannot go wrong with an A3 at the price.

    I was frantically trying to get my boxes in order last night, but now that I have seen these photos…I think I’ll just bum some flies off of you…ha.

    I’ll just bring my box of Royal Wulff’s in various sizes.

    I’ve tried a variety of systems, but what I have used for a while, and will probably stick with, is a chest pack using the sling.  I like how you can easily carry it behind you out of the way, but bring it around front when you need it.  

    I used the Fishpond Blue River for several years.  Love the pack, but it was just a bit to small for the 4 flyboxes I usually feel the need to carry.  I just got a Fishpond Waterdance pack, and it is perfect for what I need.  Plenty of room for the fly boxes, and everything else I need.  Plus, it has a couple of water bottle holders built in, and I use one to carry my water filter.  The only thing it does not have room for is my raincoat…

    They introduced FT in cans last summer…very handy for fishing trips and similar activities.

    Thanks for feedback, and thanks Joel, I get with you when I’m ready to order.

    I’ll stick with the Gore-Tex Bozeman made, no sense changing what has worked for 8 years.

    Cameron, What’s sad is that I only live a short distance from the slopes, but only seem to ski when you guys come to town.

    I may have posted this before, but I went to a flyfishing film tour showing in the New Belgium theater room last fall.

    Good Thread…

    My favorite is 90 Shilling from Odell Brewing Company, Fort Collins.   Its a bit darker amber.   Close second is Odell Five Barrel Pale Ale…

    Nothing wrong with Skinny Dip from New Belgium either.

    One other beer of note.  When I was in Maine last fall I enjoyed Shipyard Export.  Luckily, I’ve found one store here in CO that carries it.

    Nothing like enjoying a 90 Shilling in this blizzard…

    In my humble opinion, the FishPond Blue River pack is the best I have owned.
