Tks Cindy, I'll have a look at those knots. Do you guys do the special knot for tying your hook too? you know to get the proper presentation? I forgot that one lol.. went fishing with my grandfather not long ago (and it's been a long time since I went out, used to go all the time Pre kids.. lol).. and he was making fun of me cause it was taking me so long to get my fly tied on my line lol.. Yeah my girls are only 7 and 8 and I just started bringing them fishing last year. We've been out a couple times, but only on bait and reel. It's the easiest. Get them hooked on catching, then they learn to appreciate just being out, then learn to fly fish I think. River Runs through it is one of my top Favorties.. Love to find rivers like that around here. hehe.. I'm a small stream/narrow river/brook guy.. don't like big wide open spaces.. Half the enjoyment is getting there and enjoying what's around us.. I take memory snaps cause I suck with a camera. lol. We have been using an improved clinch knot to tie the fly to the tippet. There are knots with better strength though. This one is just easy to remember. I forgot to mention too that I use a nail knot to tie a piece of butt section to my fly line, about a foot long. It ends in a perfection loop, so leaders can be changed easily with a loop-to-loop connection. The nail knot is a more difficult one, but you only have to tie it once. The one to master is the blood knot, as that is the one you will need to use over and over again to add new tippet to your leader when you're on the river. I prefer smaller streams and rivers as well rather than big wide ones. That's a great way to start your girls in fishing, by bait fishing so they catch something fairly easily. That will get them hooked, then move on to the fly fishing. To me, there is nothing more exciting then seeing your dry fly floating downstream, and all of a sudden a trout taking it. I prefer dry fly fishing more than wet flies.

yup thats the plan, get them "hooked" litterally in both senses.. lol I'm with you on the dry fly. I tried wet fly once, didn't help I didn't have polarized glasses so couldn't see the fly well, but the dry fly is cool to see them come up for it. lol..
Apparently in crooked creek here in Alma, there is a Rainbow run.. I didn't even know we had rainbows in our area.. I'm gonna have to try and catch that at some point.. too bad fishin in NS is non resident for me as it looks like there are alot of nice Streams your way..
off Topic sorry, I didn't realize you guys were such avid fly fishers.. hehe.. Great trip! keep the photos up!@

Absolutely bro, I would love to have ya come up to fish with us...Not sure your schedule but weekdays are best, not as many fisherman on the river... Let me know when you can make it and I'll make it happen Maybe October, come up and spend a couple days and we'll catch some BIG silver bullets... As fer Crooked Creek, I just watched a video that my friend made fishing there, the water is super low but catching river Rainbows would be a blast!! Here's the video Let me know when Reg

I love that spot with the pic of you and Cindy. It's really cool there, almost gives the spins. Road to Meat Cove is fun, eh? Its almost like 4wheelin but the road is good. Yeah, Meat Cove was a very cool roller coaster of a drive...lol...I saw on the news last night that someone fell off of the cliff at Meat Cove this weekend, fell 150 meters to their death. Dangerous cliffs, my fear of heights kept me back and safe enough... Jeff
