RE: [VFB] My tying room
Very nice Chuck. My tying desk is in our basement. But a lot of my tying is done on the dining room table. Go figure!

A lot of you knew that we have been trying to get moved for about three years now. And we FINALLY moved in on 9/11/2011. We LOVE it our here way in the sticks.

I say little and I mean little, cause the whole room is only 5' by 14', and I have to share enough of that with my boss to set up her sewing machine :):):).. here's a pic of my little piece of the room. All I need now is a roll top desk to tie at. I saw some at Hobby Lobby for about $299 that would make AWESOME tying stations. (That, and to get my padded, comfortable, roll around computer/tying chair back from my son who swiped it for his computer desk after breaking his chair) And, i have tiles to lay on the floor, and a counter top to go on that little drawer base that I just haven't mounted on it yet. It's great to sit in there any tie while listening to my beloved Wa eagle, Auburn Tigers on the radio. maybe I should put the TV from my bedroom in there BTW.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Choose your fly fishing friends wisely. They can have an effect on how many and the size of the trout you catch. Fly fishers who spend a lot of time fishing together will unconciously adopt some of the other's mannerisms, choice of flies and casting techniques over time. Surrounding yourself with great fly fishers who catch a lot of trout will help you catch more and larger trout. However, does that mean that while you as the poorer angler improve your fishing prowess, the better angler's fishing prowess deterioates? It could be that as your fishing improves and your friend's deteriorates, he reaches a point where his fishing begins to improve by watching you the better angler. If that is the case, somewhere along the line, both will become great anglers. On the other hand, if both of you are piss poor anglers to begin with . . . . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] My tying room
Ashley posed the query: Do I get a feeling the return of the swap where we send in pictures of our messy tying areas may return? Maybe we should. I had to clear out the tying room to make a place for a bunch of grandkids and great-grandkids to play. This would be a great time for pictures. I still have five big boxes of 'stuff' stowed away waiting to be strewed around my 'cave' again.

Re: [VFB] International Fly Tying Symposium 2012
There was quite a good mix, but I guess that my streamer addiction really shows in what I photograph lol. I love to see these tied on long shank hooks, but for reliability, if I was going to fish these patterns, it would be on tandem set-ups. As you mention, the leverage is a factor. Lots of full dressed Atlantic salmon flies, spey, trout, realistic, wet... I honestly only made it maybe 1/4 of the way around the tyers. I think I spent about 3 hours chatting with the Sweds just inside the front doors starting with VFB's Niclas Runarsson.

I would have thought that with the long-shanked hooks, there is so much leverage that a lot of fish would be lost, but I guess it depends on the type of fish and whether they are prone to jump when hooked.

Re: [VFB] International Fly Tying Symposium 2012
Tandems and a articulated version work quite well with the fish. I make the articulated by cutting off the front hook and shortening the wire a bit, now there are devices made just for this case.
