  Chuck, I have a Blackfoot Mongoose, which is the same vice but without the

it was worth the money.  You can buy better vices, but they also cost more, and 
this one has been fine for my needs.  I'm pretty sure that the lever tightens 
going either way... toward or away from the tyer.  

  I bought it to upgrade my Renzetti rotary which had some damage to the arm 
and was showing its age in other ways.  I like the design of the Mongoose and 
it works great.

I'm matching it up to my Hardy featherweight reel and a WF3F line. I do have a question though. With a rod like this for dry fly fishing, is the WF3F line good enough or should I go to a DT2F also? I know the WF is better for distance but Ididn't really get this short rod for distance, just fishing tight spaces? So, would the DT2F be a better line?

 were fishing with VERY heavy (huge) spinning lures and were cleaning up.

Murf, and othersI like this thread. I'm intending to use my canoe a lot this summer (sinceI had my back surgery), and I know many new things have come out in the 28years that I've had it.

Thenmy back got too bad to enjoy it any more.It's the 15' Gruman Sport Canoe with the wider transomhttp://www.marathonboat.com/canoes2.htm. It's pretty good on lakes untilthey chop up with wind. That's why I bought a 4hp Evinrude for getting backquicker. Now with the electric motor technologies, I'm thinking about goingelectric. Any experiences there? One does NOT want to get caught on aWyoming lake when the wind comes up- with or without just a paddle.I'm also thinking of drifting the river with it again. It gets
 trickierhere. As you know (if you are a canoe-er) the river is always trying to tunthe canoe sideways to the current, especially with the square stern. I canturn it around and paddle it backwards, with the point into the current(which is better) but I don't like striking rocks with the square stern- thestops are quite abrupt. Solo is tougher than with a partner, and three ispretty fun if all take turns with the paddles.I can make an anchoring system like on my pontoon kickboat (which I like forsmaller lakes), for stopping the boat while playing a fish.I'd like to learn to weld aluminum. Does anyone on the list weld aliminum?I'd like to make a bunch of removable accessories of my own design. Onething I like about the sport canoe is that it's wide and stable enough tostand up and fish. I intend to capitalize on that.

 There isn't too much going on here either. The last day I fished was the 29th of December. I haven't fished yet this year. One of fishing buddies went today, but it was only in the low 20s here. I haven't heard how he has done.
 I got skunked on the 29th. I did get one 23" on the 28th. I'm going to wait until the weather warms up to about freezing. The forecast doesn't look too good for a while.
 Was that fish you got a brook stock fish that was about gone. I have caught several of them around here in years past. I got two last month in the ponds at 3 forks, but they weren't 30 inches.
 Keep in touch and when it gets warmer maybe we can wet a line together. I'll let you do the hiking.

Anyway, I have only cast this one once, the line wasnot right and the reel way to small to balance it. I need to find, or make, a4 to 4.5 inch large arbor reel for it so as to balance it
 properly. Then I will try it out, should be interesting. What I would fish for? Well, I thought that it would be a good rod to try on some lakes, allow to get out further from along the shore, and I think the Cimarron river is pretty open and wide. Would like to even tryit on the White river, behind Tony's house. Places where I could be in one spot, braced, and fish in a fan pattern and cover a lot of water, thenmove down and do it again. As to fish, down here, bass and pan fish along the river, trout when they stock it. The rest of the places I mentioned wouldbe trout.

Thirty minutes isn't much time to cover the waterfront, but I'm going to try.First I'll give the history of fly tying and talk about how flies are tied to represent different insects, etc. Then I'll go over all the tools, etc. used in tying I'm taking a bunch of different types of feathers and also different color hackle, (necks, saddles and capes),
 plus dubbing, several different kinds of fur/hair, chenille, i.e. everything that I use. I'll also show the different kind/size of hooks I use in flies for trout, steelhead, bass and bluegills.I will set up five different vises and explain how they operate and what the difference is between each. On four of the vises I'll set up for one particular fly and show the different steps, (already done), in tying it, i.e. tying in the tail, body, hackle and finally the wing and lastly, the whip finish. On the fifth vise, I'll tie the same fly from start to finish. I have several books on fly tying from beginning tying all the way to the expert tyer, that I'll show the group.Lastly, I'll ask for questions and let the group know that if any of them would like to learn fly tying that I'll be glad to set up some classes.What have I left out Keep in mind that I have
 only 30 minutes to do the program. Any suggestions you have will be most welcome.

Then, with those even with the edge of the table (or sticking out on the left where most people clamp their vises for those who don't have a Norvise) I'd also
 put one like that on the back, only two layered, with thread holders on the topmost layer and then little boxes (usually 5-6) to put each of the pieces of the fly, hooks, tailing, ribbing, body dub, winging material all lying out in order so one can tie with efficiency. There'd also be a little holder on the upper right with a hole big enough for my tying wax (1.5 inches for Overton's wax) and another for my wide bottle head cement. But..it is a wonderful thing.. One more thing, I'd have a formica or other light colored tile immediately under the tying area of the vise so that when one spills stuff, like head cement, it can be gotten off with out destroying the surface of the table.

Ok, with the SJW discussions going on I had an idea. I'm sure some of you out there are going to be messing around with all different types of SJW's. How about a swap? With winter moving in it's a good time for swaps.

Re: [VFB] Kokanee in western MT?

[Dean Larson]

HI Todd
 I don't know where you live in Montana, but there are Kokanee in Georgetown Lake, which is near Anaconda, Montana, There is also Kokanee in Mission Lake which is on the Blackfoot Indian Reservation, Mission Lake is between Cut Bank,Montana and Browning, Montana. The Missouri River below Canyon Ferry Dam did have them, and also below Houser Dam and also the causeway from the Helena, Montana water supply has Kokanee.
 The spawn is in full swing and could be about over. Yesterday at Georgetown Lake I caught two that were very black. Not very large, about 11". The brooks are also spawning there. I landed ten brooks. 
 I caught the Kokanee on a brown crystal bugger. The brooks mostly on egg flies.

 If you'd given me a call you could have st ayed at my place at Duck.

I fished the Swan River, the Flathead River, the North Fork (Flathead aboveby the park). I tried to fish Duck Lake by Browning, but that was the onlyday the weather didn't cooperate.If I decide to make the 2006 Conclave, lets make it a date to fish togetherup there. I have a place to stay and friends now to take us drifting. Nexttime I will take some flotation equipment.I gave the 'clinics' (more like intense demos) at the Stumptown AnglerFlyshop and the Lakestream Flyshop in Whitefish, and at Two River GearFlyshop in Bigfork. They didn't understand a word I was saying until Idemo'd it for them. Then they were amazed and want to bring me up to teacha clinic. It'll be tough, but I'll have to try to break away to go do that.They were also wowed by the contents of the 'Baits Motel'.DonO- Original Message -

Thanks forthe mental pictures. Jimi   Had a great trip in Montana. The weather cooperated almost
 perfectly.  There's just something about dry fly fishing a river with GlacierNational Park as the background scenery. :o) Caught lots of cutts on parachute flies (rope-dubbed with wingers and scb hackle). Visited a lot of fly shops, gave a few rope-dub clinics, bought a new fly vest (Patagonia), and set upsome trips for next year.  Had a ton of fun atv'n with my son and good friend (put 200 miles on the odo). Saw a bull elk up close and personal, but he was gone before Icould get my camera out. Lots of bear poop on the trails, real fresh-looking- lended a little 'edge' to the experience. Had the Swan Mountains as the backdrop one day and Glacier Park the next.  Can't say I'm enjoying being back here sitting in front of this computer, other than being back in touch with
 my vfb buds.  DonO  _ Check out Election 2004 for up-to-date election news, plus voter tools and more! http://special.msn.com/msn/election2004.armx
