[VFB] Re: TEST
Tony: I found my old hat pin from the SowBug and it was 2004. Me and my wife had a great time there and want to make it back again very soon. I had my Rotator Cuff operated on in Dec and have gone thru therapy. I am starting a strengthening program at home now so I should be good. I follow all the posts and am glad that I can take some time and answer some of them now. I have a trip of a life time planned for Alaska in Sept. I have gotten out a bunch of recepie books and will start with the simple ones till I feel comfortable for Salmon flys. One of the books has Don Ordes mouse in it. Don't think I will be trying that one. It is one that my fishing buddy Gordon Mankins brought back from the FFF Conclave of 1995. It is called Patterns of the Masters and he surely belongs in there.

FW: [VFB] Fishing yesterday evening.
From: markflie...@hotmail.com To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com; desert-tr...@hotmail.com Subject: RE: [VFB] Fishing yesterday evening. Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:50:37 -0600 for the list. Tony, as i was driving over the dam at 10 minutes before 6 p.m. last night, i noticed the water had been turned off...i had to make that conservation coalition meeting at the the Gastons Center above the damn at 6 p.m., but sure did feel more like fishing. Glad you got to wet a line. Tonights NAFF meeting was a good one. i just got home and Misa had a great dinner waiting..life is good. i'm gonna make the club (NAFF) outing on Thurs. We meet at the handicaped (Ackerman), Access on the Northfork at 1 p.m. Hope you can make it. i'll buddy wade you up to the island and back if you like. Lemme know if you need a ride. Prolly be my last chance to fish locally until sometime in Aug. We hit the road again on Sun. We're only here now for the TU Banquet on Sat. night.or we'd already be in Washington state fishing, by tomorrow. Oh well. mark Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:33:28 -0700 From: bambot...@yahoo.com Subject: [VFB] Fishing yesterday evening. To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com CC: flyfishingandflytyingforpanf...@yahoogroups.com Wanted to go fishing all day but the Creek was too high from the rain and they were running five units at the dam., water was running high on the White. The wind had been blowing hard all day..About 6 pm, I got a call from my fishing buddy that lives up near the dam that the dam was shut down and I should have some low water in an hour or so. I live 10 miles downriver. The wind was still blowing so I gave it no thought and went in the shop to work on some rods. At about 7 PM while working in the rods, I noticed the wind had died down and the dock was way down . The water was still not all the way down to be able to wade but I saw the trout were working the surface real good. I stopped what I was doing, grabbed my rod and took off to the dock. The air was just filled with Gray Caddis about a sz 16. Looked through the few flies I grabbed from my vest and had a fly that was tied with Gray Antron. It looked like a puff of cotton in the hook. It was already getting dark but the trout were jumping and splashing all over the place. Made a cast to a boil and nothing, then made a cast to another boil and bang, a hook up. Trying to land a fish from the rail on the dock can take some maneuvering. I only had a short handle net but was able to land the fish while laying on my belly. It was a nice fat gorged belly Brown close to 20. After getting all squared away again I cast to a couple more boils and hooked up again, Another fat Brown, I would guess about 16. It was really getting dark now but the splashes were still going on. I would cast to where I heard a splash or see a boil in the reflected light up on the deck. I hooked up again and another fat Brown in the 16 class. Got still another one in the same size class. I thought I would make another cast before quitting as the wind was coming back up and I was not warm enough. I hooked up again and I knew this was a good fish. Well , I did not land this one. It got under the dock, shook a while, made a run and snapped off my whole tippet..I would of liked to stayed out but I was getting cold and would have to get some light to rig up again. I had a good half hour so I called it quits . Thought I might have the same this evening but not so. Five units running at the dam and the wind is blowing. Maybe tomorrow evening.
