Re: [VFB] Dropper size

2014-11-06 Thread Flyfisher2
I guess I was too brief.  What I was asking was - during a hatch of mayflies 
you have dries and emergers going on at the same time.  I was told the emergers 
if you were fishing both dry and fishing emergers that the emerger should be 
one size larger.  Thoughts?

 I guess it depends on where you're fishing.  Around here, SE PA, there 
 usually a mix of caddis and midges, between, the sparse mayfly hatches on the 
 streams I fish.  I normally fish a larger caddis, CDC and Elk, size 14-18 as 
 the lead with a size 20-22, midge dry/emerger as the dropper.  If nothing 
 else the larger dry acts as a strike indicator for the smaller dropper.

 I was out today on the Provo River.  I had a great day but it could have been 
 better.  The BWO were out and before them there was a good midge hatch.  I 
 caught 10-15 but lost a few and had lots of lookers.  Here is my question for 
 the group.  I tried a dry with an emerger .  Someone once told me to go one 
 size bigger on the emerger.  I was fishing 22 dries so I tied and used a 20 
 emerger.   Is this what you all do?

 Not much has changed since my last update.  The tremor doesn't affect fly 
 tying and everyday use of my hands, When I get frustrated is when acts up. A 
 hand-wringing motion.  Cup of coffee or plate, No trembling their either. I 
 do lose my balance once in a while which is makes taking a shower 
 difficult.so I'm having a bench built in the back directly across from shower 
 head. No fall in the shower yet, but it's just a matter of time unless I get 
 some muscle tone back. 
 
 Now, to my feet. good days, bad days. I only use the cane on steps.and out in 
 the yard and a walker on occassion. The big callus where the posterior 
 tibi-tendon connects the heel and big toe finally decided to shed some of the 
 callus. Don't know how this happened, but I'm very grateful and makes walking 
 so much easier. Hopefully it'll shed more callus build-up.Most of my leg/foot 
 problem were caused by lack of exercise resulting in atrophyed leg 
 muscles.FROM WHEN I BROKE MY ANKLE ON THE GUNNISON AND SPENT 6 MOS, IN 
 CAST.So far my diagnosis is 'essential tremor'Not Parkinsons yet, but could 
 morph into PK.  Also have osteo arthritis in both ankles.
 I'm still amazed that my hand can be trembling and I can 'will' it to stop 
 and it does. Go figureMost people never notice it. 
 
 Just finished 6 months of taking Camudin for clot in thigh So far, so good, 
 the doc is seeing what he wants to see. Sidelight, lost 15 pounds because of 
 my limited diet. The doc did let me off for christmas dinner and boy, I 
 Pigged out. Now, I'm using my nautiilis knock off to help
 regain muscle in my legs, etc,
 
 Enjoy your week.and don't worry about me. I'm hanging in there like a rusty 
 fish hook. 
 P.S. The tremor dosen't affect my typing.
 
 JIMMY D 
 
 P.S. The blood clot was caused from wearing the $1,000 boot too tight and 
 cutting circulation. There's more, but 
 I've taken up enough of your 'time'
