I'm guessing to put his rod together after he splits it at the end of the day.

ah... some people use them as leader tamers on the reel. I keep my rod in one piece when on the river and at the end of the day the rod goes in it's sleeve and case.

My guess for GCCK: Great Canadian Coho Killer. Nice name for a fly.

Hey Rodney,
this is a little off topic but when is the Chilliwack Fishing with Rod tackle swap meet?

So with Chilliwack's All About Fishing, which the swap meet was a part of, I'm not sure when I will resume organizing it. At the moment, it's not really possible with COVID. Well, it is, but it is way too much for me to handle as a volunteer job. I'm going to say it's unlikely to be next year, but you never know.

Not having met big snag, my image of him is with long, flowing, blonde, Fabio-like, hair.
I think we are over thinking it. Obviously the hair bands are to keep his tresses from his eyes while flyfishing the GCCK

Well no surprise there - I wondered much the same - ponytail control.

Not sure his reasons for the hair bands but I use them to hold rod halves together when rod is broken down.

that's it

Very nice.  Thanks for sharing.

I believe I have seen that one before and remember it.
I need to learn to make simpler things rather than the fancy, more time consuming stuff I make up.

wanting to get out this weekend. spent my last two trips walking up and down trying to find a spot to fish. wanting to try the canal this time and I was wondering when would be the best time to fish it since it's a somewhat tidal based section of the river?
