Re: [VFB] Great hooks, great price

2021-05-15 Thread Neville Gosling 
Hi Rick:

you need to check your typing as you are missing the “m” in company and you 
have an extra “o”, also  the price is per 100 and not 1000. These are probably 
made in China as are Mustad. I prefer the premium Japanese made hooks as I have 
experienced light wire hooks that have straightened out resulting in lost fish. 
Maruto are a Japanese brand that I like but most of my small chironomid flies 
are now tied on the stronger Daiichi hooks.

I realise that you are fishing for bluegills and crappie so one would not need 
extra strong hooks.

 I have been using hooks from Wholesaleflycopoany.com.  They seems to be the 
equivalent of Dai Riki.  usually $7.00/1000

Gary,
I’m proud to say I was way ahead of the game.  I started out fly fishing 
Tenkara style when I was probably only 5 or 6.  It was quite a bit of work for 
a young lad because we used 14-16 foot bamboo rods*.  It was a very successful 
way to fish.

Al

*In our youthful naivety, we called them “Cane Poles”.  Since it was the end of 
the depression and graphite rods hadn’t been invented yet, we used one-piece 
rods we picked up at the hardware store for about $3.00 (a huge investment in 
equipment at the time).

And since we didn’t have access to “Squirmy Wormy” material (which also hadn’t 
been invented yet), we just used live worms.

[VFB] Great hooks, great price

2021-05-15 Thread Gary Webb 
During this last year I have probably tied more flys (most I will probably
never use) than since we used to have several swaps going at one time.
Anyway, I love the hooks from Green Caddis Outfitters.   And the price is
pretty good too. https://gcoutfitters.com/

I've done a bit of fishing lately.  Caught several using a Pink Squirrel
most of the time.   After my hernia surgery, my Dr. said: "Don't go near
any water except a shower for the next two weeks." That ban ended two weeks
ago. Now all I have to do for the next three weeks is avoid catching a fish
that weighs more than 10 lbs.  I think I can manage that. LOL
My latest learning adventure in fly tying is with the Kebari style. They are
a Japanese creation.  A soft hackle fly with the cone facing forward.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTTVg3wKZ5A=0
And I'm trying Tenkara fly fishing. Which is very similar to Euro
Nymphing.If you are a KISS type of person, Tenkara fly fishing is about
as simple as it gets.  A lot of the streams here in the Driftless
Area of Southwest WI, Southeast MN, and Northeast IA are not very friendly
to long back casts, or even short ones. You get pretty good at roll
casting.  But in some spots that won't work either.
So any method that "keeps my fly in or on the water, because there are no
fish in the air", is worth trying.  Plus it gives me an excuse for buying
another fly rod. LOL.
