Thanks mastercaster. I'll keep that in mind, once I get a boat seat. The setup right now is actually quite satisfying. My boat is quite deep so if the rod gets pulled, it falls down from the compartment/float to the boat floor and usually stays there while the drag is being pulled.

Hey Rod - do you have carpet on your boat?  Nothing scratches up a nice reel than the bottom of a boat with no carpet!  Then again - that might not be a big deal for some...

Also Happy belated B-day Nina!   You shouldn't have let Rodney go....

Oh, he'll pay in due time

No carpet yet, but will come soon I hope.

I've already paid, and you've been enjoying it the last couple of days.

Good show , good show

Here is a two minute video of some footages of the osprey that I captured during the trip.

Nice music, I couldnt see if he caught dinner but cool anyways. Reminds me of the pelicans in Mexico which dive bomb just off the beach's.

[Rodney]

Yeah it definitely caught one. Notice that at first it lost altitude but regained right away.

Soon you'll be rivalling THIS video:

Still a long way to go before mine can rival with that.

Look at the size of that fish it picked up near the end.

[stinkytroutboy]

Those are some nice looking fish

Yeah - that was a MONSTER I'm suprised the poor osprey didn't hit a low branch trying to clear the lake

Ospreys are amazing birds, I have seen them attempt to grab some large trout only to have to abort the mission when they can't get out the water with them    The loons can be a nuisance at times on some lakes. Just this past weekend I had a loon attempt to chase down my 4 Lb rainbow, but soon realized that fish was way to big for his mouth 

I had an awesome trip, spent 9 days on the road chasing interior rainbows  The last few days I was actually worn out from playing so many trout, guess thats a good problem to have  Here are a few pics from my trip:











I think I got Rodney hooked on interior stillwater fishing now. He's already wanting all these mods on his pram  A definite must is rod holders, only takes a split second for one of those spunky trout to drag a rod into the drink. I have had it happen once, luckily I got that one back.

Were nice photo's. I guess you better put on a  flyfishing clinic for us rookies. I fished the good part of two days to have only 20 chances and land only 3 but that may change in the next few days as making that annual lake trip with "The Master". The rest of the forum may be able to travel on that fishing trip via a video. Rodney is trying to get away from his work load to film a show called "The Master, on Fishing With Rod". It will be a special treat I am sure, but maybe I am putting too much pressure on as we all know fishing is never predictable.

For example yesterday Nick and I float fished for springs from 8:30 to 5 and I was the only one to connect and that was a 2 pound pike minnow but maybe today it will change.

Back on topic, Carlo, please keep your excellent pictures coming from your lake forays this summer.

We sure enjoy them.

[Rodney]

Yep, Carlo's trout photos are always worth waiting for. If you look in the latest issue of Canadian Flyfisher magazine, you should see a couple of his photos.

The closeup photo of the chronies is a really useful reference for tying flies. We should encourage him to take more photos like that.

Talk about pressure! Never promise anything when the video camera is around, just ask Randog how many fish he caught during his film session last week.
