Just thought I'd add a few more of Nantucs pics right here this morning!

 ..Was getting pretty tired of opening up my blog to be faced with those two 'stockies' as I've been told from the boys over the pond, that I thought why not add this pic to my blog..

..it is just great to see my 'not so behaved but beautiful young Lady' that she is..just kidding by the way, for she does things to please me on a daily basis. Whether it is something not so grandeur, but very meaningful never the less. Such as coming out to see me when I'm on the computer, and giving me a very deep growl [which sometimes sends the hair on the back of my neck straight up to heaven], then bouncing backwards to catch my attention..a sign that it is her time to occupy my time not the computer! Or what about those special moments when she needs to go out and I'm enjoying one of rare moments called sleep. How she figured out that the 'loudest' bark I've ever heard, [only 6"] from my face would send me flying to the ceiling is beyond me..but damn it all, it sure works! However, one of her 'grandeur' moments made me gasp leaving me with just a broad smile on my face, when without me saying a word, she sat down. Huh?..you say..yes this happens now every time we come to a street either at a corner or out from a lane way, she automatically sits down. I think she has seen a few dogs around here doing just that and in her mind she believes this is the thing to do.

..And so , I present to you my not so little puppy any longer showing me what she likes to do just for the heck of it..

Another fly just arrived this morning...

..this time it came in from Scotland, Greenock made another super looking one..check out 'Fly Patterns'..

More interesting videos came my way

..I've added a few more videos to this section ,if you get a chance have a peek, you just might like them..till next time..Ciao,Ciao!

Two more Southern Irish Flies have arrived!

..as the title says, two more flies have arrived from Ireland, made by Seanie. These two are what is called the 'Peter' fly a very common, well used fly , however, Seanie adds his Southern flair to the ties with a not so common material. Please check out the 'Fly Patterns' section..

What will they think of Next...???

..it appears that in the need to give anglers a reason for returning to a certain lake that has been 'stocked', some futuristic biologist came up with a 'new' strain of rainbow trout. A trout that not only looks different than Oncorhynchus mykiss, but has it's own name now as a variant with 'Oncorhynchus mykiss walbaum', the "Blue Trout".

..I've supplied a Url, so that you may read about this new variant, which is a 'rave' in the UK at the moment, many of the fishers who have been lucky in catching this fish just rant and rave on it's quality of fighting as well as the taste of it's flesh. If you get a chance to fish for the 'blue trout', by all means please let me know your thoughts...

New additions to two sections...Wolves and Nantuc..."Audio Clips"

..here is hoping that what you will hear will thrill you as it does to me each time I hear them... 

I changed and add a few things in my blog today...who is interested in looking?

Decided to add a few more 'pages' to this blog, and in doing so, I couldn't stop...

..why don't you all have a look on the left side of the main page and see if you can see the new ones...have fun ppl!

My personal Fly Ties...a New Added Section...

Today I was browsing in the internet and decided to check out a fellow fisher's blog..and this is what caught my interest, a super modern way of displaying my personally tied flies. And so...I do hope you all take a peek and get inspired as I had..

Trouts of Western Canada...

There seems to be quite a few 'sub-species', 14 to be exact for the genus 'Oncorhynchus', the Salmon family, specifically the 'Cutthroat Trout'..'Oncorhynchus clarkii' and do to this, I'll only post one specie that is abundant here in the Southern area of Alberta Canada.


..So let's begin with the 'Cutthroat trout'..Oncorhynchus clarkii
These trout are native to the mountain and foothill streams of southern Alberta

..these specimens were caught/released this Sept.,past, by 'CF8'..an angler in one of my forums I belong to.

..next on line the 'Golden Trout'..Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita
is a sub-specie of the rainbow trout. In Alberta there are 5 high mountain lakes that were planted with pure strain goldens in the late 50s, and there have been several stockings since.

..next we draw our attention to the 'Brown Trout'..Salmo trutta
And here, in Alberta there are two distinct types of browns, both of which were introduced in the eighteen hundreds, where they have become one of the most sought after trouts in Alberta. The Bow River has been made as a world famous brown trout haven, where people from all over the globe have come to fish, giving them an average size of 20" plus.

..The most common brown is the 'Scottish brown'..

..however, the most colourful brown is the 'German brown'..

  

 
..next we'll introduce the 'Brook trout'..Salvelinus fontinalis..
is actually a 'Char', the common English name given to all members of the genus 'Salvelinus'..

..next will be the 'Bull trout'..Salvelinus confluentus..
Native to Alberta and is the official provincial fish, this specie is 'protected' with a zero possession limit..you must release all Bull trout you catch!

..next I'll add the 'Dolly Varden' ..Salvelinus malma..
have given many anglers around the world an unforgettable fight in rivers above the polar circle. This queen of rivers is a fish for people who wants a gourmet meal.

..and now the 'Rainbow trout'..Oncorhynchus mykiss..

..there are six native sub-species of rainbow trout in the West and Pacific Ocean. The sub-species are distributed throughout the drainage system of the Pacific Coast from Alaska to Mexico, and the eastern coast of Asia.

 

..now comes one of the most sought after trouts by all anglers, the 'Steelhead Trout..Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus..

Steelhead trout live both in the rivers [where they do their spawning] and part time in the ocean where they grow, before re-entering the rivers where they were born. The Steelie is noticeably different then the river rainbows in both size and colour. They are by far prized by anglers for their fighting nature when caught on a fishing line.
