[VFB] Re: Pautexant special fly pattern
Wes: Man, you said it. It makes me wonder how we ever did things before the internet. I can remember (not fly fishing stuff cause I didn't tie back then) to order something for example. You had to get a catalog (4-6 WEEKS) you had to mail in a check or Money Order, then wait for shipping (another 6-8 WEEKS).. By the time you got something you didn't need it anymore..With the net, you order something via credit card or pay pal, you get the big brown truck at your door, in three-four DAYS.

[VFB] Re: True Stories
OK here is one. I was doing beginner fly tying classes at a Dept Store in N.J. This was a 6 week course. I had a husband and wife team sign up along with 10 other students. I started out with the basics pointing out the materials and tools and how they are used. This gentleman just sat quiet. As we progressed through the weeks I noticed he had a real knack for tying. His flies were top line. He never asked for help or had any questions. At the end of the six weeks I commented to him about his flies being so good. He said he had been tying for 40 years and took the class so his wife would take it. He said he had not been able to teach her but that I did a good job. In the classes he has attended, this was one of the best. My face was red but I was also proud. They joined our tying group and she is a good fly tyer now.

[VFB] Re:Starting a fly fishing club
Chuck, if you feel proficient enough, you might consider doing a program at one or more of your Civic Clubs like Rotary, etc. I did this a few years back, giving a fly tying/fishing demonstration. At the end of the meeting I had 7 Rotarians come up and ask if I would teach a fly tying class for them. I did. Upshot is that 5 of the seven are still tying flies and fly fishing. How do I know this? I'm in that Rotary Club. You could do a demo and ask any interested folks if they'd like to join a Fly Fishing club that you're forming. Seems that lots of civic club members are fly fishers. JIMMY D --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
He slept with his fly rod standing in the corner next to his bed. He didn't bother taking off his shirt and pants. His vest on the bed post and his wading boots were placed where he could swing off the bed, and like a fireman ram his feet into them. His fishing hat was by his pillow. The only thing difference was that he didn't have a pole to slide down to the stream. Jimmy D Moore Opening Day º ** JIMMY D.

[VFB] Re: Danish Fly MAGNUS
There are several versions, one with the bead chain above the hook shank, one with the bead chain below the hook shank and the bullethead. Fo myself, I do not like the idea of placing the bead chain at the bend as I like to keep this area of the hook as clear as possible for maximum hooking ability. With a couple of beads in the way, I'm not sure that it would hook as well. You are talking about eyes, whereas back in the 70s when this fly was developed, I suspect that the weight of the bead chain was the main consideration and more important than it's appearance as eyes.

But then I'd ask them if they wanted to join a tying/fishing club, and we'd then have fly fishing lessons at the local City Park lake that I often fish. It might just go over. Or, do the fishing class first, then do the tying class. Or even at the same time and do the fishing right before dark, then move to the classroom to tie, cause the huge civic center is right there at the lake..Chuck - Original Message - From: Anthony Spezio To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2009 8:15 AM Subject: [VFB] Re: True Stories OK here is one. I was doing beginner fly tying classes at a Dept Store in N.J. This was a 6 week course. I had a husband and wife team sign up along with 10 other students. I started out with the basics pointing out the materials and tools and how they are used. This gentleman just sat quiet. As we progressed through the weeks I noticed he had a real knack for tying. His flies were top line. He never asked for help or had any questions. At the end of the six weeks I commented to him about his flies being so good. He said he had been tying for 40 years and took the class so his wife would take it. He said he had not been able to teach her but that I did a good job. In the classes he has attended, this was one of the best. My face was red but I was also proud. They joined our tying group and she is a good fly tyer now. That was 20 years ago Arkansas Tony --- On Mon, 1/12/09, Wes Wada w...@wadaworks.com wrote: From: Wes Wada w...@wadaworks.com Subject: [VFB] True Stories To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Date: Monday, January 12, 2009, 9:09 PM Hello, VFB.I'd like to start a thread about something of interest to me, andhopefully, to some of you.What stories do you have, that happened, when you were at a fly tying event?You were either tying your flies, or witnessing another tyer'spresentation. Or expanded, to include the presentations at thecasting pond? Possibilities suggested might be educational,historical, colorful, or just danged funny.And they have to be true stories, which has to be a huge challenge,for fly fishers!-Anybody want to start the ball rolling? Just thought of this, and Idon't have anything in mind, or written, of my own. Will do one,though.Wes WadaBend, Oregon --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.
