hmm, well two purchases this year ran me about 2k, so I'd have to say about 3K in total this year...

yikes.

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
