I applogize , as I've been a lurker since the late 90's as well. I picked up on a few details from some of your posts. Course I could be mistaken , but I beleive we may have been old buddies at one point in time.
Times have changed and with kids now I don't get out that much anymore. Good to know that some of the "old crew" are still on the flow.
A good buddy from Vancouver bought the jet and we are storing it at my house. We tend to fish the Stamp more than any other river as it usually yeilds big numbers. Although nothing compares to those chrome slabs from the Cowichan, it's all about the quality. Lets face it, although it's good karma to say the fish are just the icing?........ well I love to feel those thumps!
