  Over the last month I became a victim of a clever 'Eastern European'
  scam while out shopping. Simply dropping into Wallmart in Blyth for a
  bit of shopping has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive
  enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends. Here's how
  the scam works:
 
  Two seriously good-looking voluptuous 20-21 year-old girls come over
  to your car as you are packing your shopping into the car.
 
  They both start cleaning your windscreen. Their large firm young
  breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It's impossible
  not to look, especially with all the rain we have been having.
 
  When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead
  ask you for a lift to another store, in my case, Tesco at Kenton.
 
  You agree and they both get in the back seat. On the way, they start
  undressing, and both get completely naked. Then, when you pull over to
  remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts
  crawling all over your lap, kissing you, touching you intimately, and
  thrusting herself against you, while the other one steals your wallet!
 
  I had my wallet stolen April 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th,
  20th, 24th, and 29th. Also May 1st, 4th, twice on the 6th, three times
  last Saturday and very likely again this coming week-end. So Be Warned!
 
  P.S. Lidl have wallets on sale for £1.99 each, Aldi's are £1.75 and
  look nicer.

Sounds like you had quite the time. I have always had trouble with fast 
currents. I only weight around 140 so even a light current will float me away 
without a wading stick. (yes it has happened). Glad you made it out alive and

Subject: [VFB] Wading experience...

I have just come home from a nice week of grayling fishing in the northern 
Swedish river Hårkan... with a wading experience richer. The only wader dip I 
had before this was in White River 2006. That one must have been in the 
America's Funniest Home Videos league. Tony can testify on that. Water that's 
hardly moving... barely one foot deep... with a gravel bottom flat as a 
pancake... stumble on virtually nothing and landing on my chest.

This time the water was waist deep though and pushing quite hard. The bottom 
was rocky and far from wading friendly (and I had been close to fall several 
times during the week). It wasn't a without wading stick place (at least not 
to me, who is a careful dude). I heard the sound of a fish rising to my left 
and when I quickly turned my head to see where it was I felt a sligtht sign of 
losing balance. So I took a little step backwards... maybe 5-6... slipped and 
fell backwards... and suddenly I was under the water. After fighting a couple 
of seconds I managed to turn around so I had my toes facing the stones and when 
I got a grip between the stones the stream towards my chest helped me to get 
up again. I turned to get up from the water and in the very next step I slipped 
again and fell face down. This time it didn't come as the same shock kind of 
thing as the first fall and I was able to actually THINK about how to get up, 
so I got back up standing without major problem.
I looked down and was going to reach for my wading stick and saw that the left 
pocket in my chest pack was empty... just as empty as the left big vest pocket. 
Downstream I saw three boxes getting smaller... a big compartment/slit foam box 
with dry flies, a slit foam box (swing leaf) of the same size with nymphs and 
another slit foam box with soft hackle flies. I had packed my boxes with flies 
before this trip, so there were more than a couple of flies disappearing 
there... and instincts took over.

I started to run downstream (as fast as you can, jumping on rocks with water up 
to your waist). The water got deeper though and when it reached just below my 
chest I stumbled and fell again. I had just reached the boxes, but at the same 
time I also reached a hole where it suddenly got much deeper. Trying to stand 
up again wasn't on the menu anymore and I started to swim. Swimming with the 
rod in one hand and 'catching' all three boxes was impossible. I knew that 
much. So I started to hit them one by one to get them upstream and closer to 
land. Then I swam a bit towards land myself until they reached me and it was 
time for the next hit/swim move again. After a couple of times repeating this 
I was at a depth where I could stand up again and just collecting the boxes 
coming towards me... and finally focus on leaving the water.

The night before this I had landed my (by far) largest grayling after a long 
fight on a #3 rod and in fast moving water,,, but I still think this was the 
took the prize as the adventure of the trip. How I actually managed to 
salvage all three boxes and the rod (and myself) is beyond me. I must have had 
Him on my side. But you can't have anything. Back in the wind shelter we sat by 
the fire and I had changed into some reserve clothing and my wading jacket that 
I didn't wore when I fell. My soaking wet fleece sweater was hanging on a nail 
on the wall... right above my opened backpack. The water was dripping RIGHT 
down in the pocket where I kept the cellphone... and that was the end of his 
adventure. :oP

So, what have I learned from this trip?

*Be careful where you put your feet in the water. (I already knew that, so it 
was more of a reminder.) But keep your pockets closed. Careful or not... 
eventually you will still fall. Having given the extra second to close the 
pocket after putting the box back down can turn out to be worth both the time 
and the effort.
*When you have fallen, gotten up and are sitting there happy over still being 
alive and not having lost anything... it doesn't have to be over. Luck can turn 
quicker than you can imagine. Just because you keep stuff on land to keep it 
safe from the water doesn't have to mean that it's actually safe from the 
water. ;o)

Self-addressed stamped envelops (MANDATORY), toe tags etc (all the normal rules 
or guideline) Again for our friends not in the US, send 3-6 extra flys and I 
will pay the postage back BUT you still need a self-addressed envelope.

Also will need your email address so I can make a group list of all the tyers. 
This will make it easier to keep everyone up to date.

I am off in the AM for a week of trolling for some trophy trout with my Chili 
Troll Fly. I will return next Thursday.

Some of the lurkers and newly signed up - get your vises dusted off and get to 
tying.

Deserttrout is out.


May your GOD be your fishing partner.

[VFB] Re: Post My Mess - photos

2009-04-23 Thread John C. Bennett
I'm game, but the only thing is that I am currently remodeling my craft room, 
so all my tying happens on a small table that I have to clean up every time I 
am done. I have a vanity that I use for my tying table. It is nice because I 
can lift the lid to it and it has a big mirror that I can see the back side of 
the fly as I am tying. I'll post a picture when I can.

Since we can post photos here now, anybody want to do a 'Post My Mess' photo 
thread.
I've found that if I do the 'rich text' and 'insert picture' command, the photo 
shows up in a box I can downsize by dragging a corner.  Rene used to have to 
post to his site, but now we can save him the trouble.

This may help one another with ideas on how to arrange materials and tools.  
Don't clean up, as we need to know how it looks when flies are being tied.

Any takers?

[VFB] Fly tying bench/station

2009-04-23 Thread John C. Bennett
Here are pictures of the converted vanity that i use for my fly tying. I am 
currently remodeling our craft room so all my fly tying stuff is boxed up or in 
a travel case, so it looks real clean. The best part that i like about the 
tying station is the mirror. I can take unique pictures of tied flies. The 
picture would capture both sides of the fly.

Subject: [VFB] DVD is here

For those interested in the rope-dub dvd...

I got the initial proof/draft DVD for the video tying sequences from the 
video-man.  I stuck it in the TV and Cheryl sat down to watch it with me.  She 
was amazed.  She's seen me demo-ing the rope-dub for the last 8 years, but she 
said the DVD was even better than seeing me tie in person (that's hard to 
believe, since I'm so good-lookin').  She was also amazed at how many tying 
techniques were included, telling me that I could make 3 DVDs with that much 
information.  I told her I was already working on DVD #2 and it had a lot more 
advanced applications.

From my standpoint it looked pretty good, but needs a lot more editing and 
photo inserts.  How many tying sequences are there?  24 that I counted, not 
including the talking and fly demo sections, and it doesn't include the 
fishing sequence up front or the credits and ad pages at the back.  The 
rope-dub is so quick, and I'm only tying the tail ends (not the finished 
pattern), that the tying sequences don't take very long at all.

There's a lot for someone to work on, but the tying sequences coupled with 
various photos should allow pausing and rewinding so that tough parts can be 
reviewed.  Only problem I could see was that my big 'ol ball-park frankfingers 
were getting in the way all the time.  We used 2 camera angles, so hopefully we 
can get good views of all ties.

I cancelled my trip to Idaho this week-end because of the storm moving in- 
supposed to be 2 to 4 feet of snow up in the western mountains (Jackon/Wilson 
areas) so the passes may get closed (our route).  I'll have to wait for a later 
date to meet up with Jack Dennis to review it with him.

From my first view, I am very satisfied and I'm looking forward to getting a 
couple more initial reviews from seasoned tiers.

If you have any questions, please fire away.

And Byard- you get yours for free, of course (signature edition).  I'll chat 
with you off-list.

 Mike,
 I've created a DVD Order folder and am putting all emails of those
 interested and of those ordering into it.

 Like I mentioned before, VFB'ers get a 25%+/- discount.  I'm waiting for
 Jack Dennis to view the DVD and get his comments, one of which will be
 pricing suggestions.

 Since the rope-dub is a technique, not a pattern or recipe, the applications
 will be literally for thousands of patterns, both old ones up-graded with
 the rope-dub and new ones designed based on the rope-dub's capabilities.
 The bottom line, of course, is fishability.  With buggy-looking segmentation
 and near bullet-proof durability, it's perfect for the flyfisher who wants
 great fishing flies.  The speed and ease will allow that same tier to tie 5
 times as many flies in the same time.  If you want to design new patterns,
 it extends the realm of 'dubbung' 10-fold, allowing the use of materials for
 dubbings and styles of dubbing that haven't been seen before.

Hi all,

OK - so it's been about 20 years since I've participated in a swap.
However, (now that I live someplace where I can fish more often AND since I
am done with
school) I think that it's time to rectify that situation.

Is anyone interested in joining a Mayfly swap?
Dries, any style (parachute, Catskill, traditional, etc.)

Depending on interest it can be:

Most of the time i will fish the same spots so the waiting and watching goes

Very true, however I am often too eager to start fishing instead of waiting, 
watching  trying to figure out the best holding lies for the fish and then the 
best metod to approach them without scaring the fish.

Fish slowly and thoroughly. Haste never pays dividends. Don't whip the stream 
to a froth. Make fewer casts.  Make them to places which count an fish each 
cast out instead of lifting it prematurely.

I'm looking forward to examing your size 32 Royal Wulfs.  Question: What
brand of  size 32 hook did you use to tie your Wulfs?  Tiemco? Mustad?
 A 32 Mustad is much larger than a Tiemco 32.  Also, does your 32's have
a hook eye or a spade?  There is a big difference between sizes among
different manufacturers.

Subject: [VFB] Moffitt Angling System

Now to get off of the subject of me and onto flyfishing.  I was given a Fly 
Fisherman Magazine and it talked about this new (to me anyway) catch and 
release system.  Essentially the fly or flies have no hook but are attached up 
the leader.  When a fish takes the fly the fisherman  sets the hook, and is 
snagged in the side of the mouth by small, barbless, specially designed catch 
and release hook.  According to the article the system was tested for years on 
thousands of fish caught, and mortality rates were far greater since the fish 
seldom is hooked in sensitive areas, and the release is very quick.

Have any of you seen or fished with this system?  Or tied flies for it?

Condensed version.  I had a little heaviness in my chest Sunday 
morning.  It got worse.  Got hauled off to the heart hospital.  I had 
a clog.  Heart Cath. got it repaired and I got back home yesterday. 
No heart attack - caught it in time.

Moral to the story:  If you feel ANYTHING a little squirrely going on 
in your chest and think there MIGHT be something going on, get into 
the E.R. immediately.  Do NOT wait till you have a heart attack and 
get heart damage.

Far better to find that it was a false alarm than to find that oops - 
I shoulda come in earlier.

Merry Christmas, Happy Channukah, and wonderful holidays to all

I've only been tying/fly fishing for about 10 years now. I hope I can look back

Mine was a Mudler Minnow, with a west Texas twist, from the pattern in 
McClain's Standard Fishing Encyclopedia. It caught my very first trout, a 
Brown, on the north fork of the south Platt river in Colorado about 1968.

Have several of the decimated kin in my very first fly box, but the first 
was lost to a rock fish along that same river a few days later.

Very fond memories. Thanks for helping me remember.

Here is an interesting question. What was your first fly that you tied? Do 
you still have it? Do you still tie that same pattern and use it for 
fishing.

My first fly (I'll have to post a picture of it) was a Mickey Finn Streamer 
w/ Peacock tied over the top. I still have it displayed in a case in our 
front room. People once and awhile will ask about it. It was the first fly 
that a beginner fly tying kit instructed me to tie.

I bet if you tied up some just like it, it would catch a fish or two. Kinda 
looks like a fuzzy caterpillar or grub.

My first was the ugliest thing ever. I didn't have a pattern to follow, just 
tied what I thought a fly should look like. I had not even started fly fishing, 
so I was really just guessing. It turned out to be some sort of Wolly Worm 
Mutant, and I keep it in a film canister and when I have a hard time tieing 
flies, I take a look to see how far I have come. :)

Just thinking, have not hosted a swap in a while, was wondering if anyone 
would be interested in a First Fly swap? Could make it a bit interesting 
if each tier included a story of how they decided to tie the fly, how they 
got started and the results.

I could put this into a word document so that each would not only have the 
pattern, but the story with it about how you got started.

Anyone interested?

T'was a Renegade, a bi-visible style fly popular in the High Desert waters of 
the U.S.  It was 1978, and I was a young pup hanging around Ruel Stayner's fly 
shop, in Twin Falls, Idaho.  Ruel suggested the fly as an ideal first fly for a 
beginning flytyer.

The fly long since went to trout fly heaven, after rusting away in a tree 
branch alongside an Idaho stream, or something like that.  I don't fish them in 
Oregon, but would definitely have some if I were back fishing in Idaho.

Here's a photo off the web of what a Renegade looks like:

Because I am the mascot of the old fart fly swap and I am trying to tie a fly 
smaller than I have ever done before (size 32 royal wulff), I thought I would 
give an update to the status of my tying. Thanks to Tony, I was able to find 
hackle small enough to fit a size 32 hook. (Tony, by the way, the hackle works 
great. thanks) I sat down and tied 5 of the 25 needed. That was all my eyes 
could handle in one sitting. I even had to pull out the magnifying lens on my 
tying light to see what I was doing. I was even tempted to try the 2.5x power 
reading glasses that I found on the river when I was on vacation. (Being 27, 
I've never had to use them for anything yet). It is a good thing that we have 
until February to finish the swap. I will need the whole time to get these done.

2008-11-18 Thread John C. Bennett

I just wanted to let everyone know how my trip to the Island Park Idaho 
(Madison River) went. The weather was as expected, cold and snowy. That didn't 
stop us from getting our feet wet. The river was the lowest that I had ever 
seen it. That condensed the fish into the deeper channels changing the fishing 
completely from the busy season. There was a nice midge hatch going on when we 
arrived at Reynolds Pass pull off, just below earthquake lake. I ended up 
catching my share of fish for the day (over 15 rainbows and one Brook trout). 
They weren't the biggest fish in the river but they gave a pretty good fight. I 
caught ¾ of the fish on a red WD-40, which was surprising due to the fact that 
the midge hatch was a dark olive (I didn't understand it either). Overall it 
was a good trip. My family enjoyed seeing Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons.

in my new van with the windows closed. It did not smell in the cold air outside 
where I skinned it. The sun warmed up the air in the van and no need to tell 
you, it was cold driving the 40 miles home  with all the windows open.I tried 
washing the pelt and several other things to get the smell off the skin. I 
finally tried Borax and Joy, that did it and left the skin part nice and white

Wash the skin in Borax and a bit of Joy dish soap. Rinse it well in fresh water 
then use a hair dryer set on cool to dry it. The air will fluff the feathers 
back to normal. That is what I found to remove skunk small from a Skunk pelt. 
If it works on skunk stink, it should work on the partridge.

RULES for OLD FART SWAP

Be at least 50 years of age, or thereabout :-P , and a confirmed Old Fart.  If 
you won't admit to being an Old Fart,  I'm sure your wife will vouch for you! 
LOL   I dropped the age limit  when it seemed we didn't have enough over 65 Old 
Farts to make a decent Swap.  AARP starts their Senior program at age 50, so 
there you go!

Tie a fly of your own design, or whatever, preferably one of your favorites. 
Type of fly - trout, salmon, salt, panfish, etc., Size of fly is up to you.  
Time frame for flies to me would be around the first of February, with the 
usual toe tags, (little tags with name of fly and your name and email address), 
 return postage  packaging or pre-stamped return package.  HOW MANY FLIES TO 
TIE ?? At this point, you would tie 13 flies to send to me. It'll always be one 
fly below the total number, cause you don't need to tie one for yourself.

FLY TYERS SIGNED UP AS OF 7:30 Tuesday morning, (today), are listed below. 
We'll give it a day or so, and take a look at how many we have signed up. Don't 
want to over work us Old Farts.  New folks wanting to join, just hit reply and 
type your name below the last one on the list.

Note: By your comments, I deduced that those of you listed below wanted to be 
an Old Fart.  But . . . . if you didn't and don't want to be in the swap, let 
me know.

[VFB] Re: Old Fart Swap

2008-10-27 Thread John C. Bennett
Would the age of 65 or older have to be your legal age? My wife tells me that I 
act like an old bitter fart all the time.

Subject: [VFB] Old Fart Swap

Morning Gang!

Just thinking it's time for me to host another Swap. Those of you who have 
participated in one of my 15 previous ones seem to have enjoyed the fun and 
frivolity of my Off the Wall swaps.

I've meistered March Madness I  II, Colors I  II, Retiree, Ham Radio, Chili 
Pepper, Eagle Scout, Blues I  II, Jody's Courage, Renegade, Steelhead, 
Redneck,  Murf Memorial.

To make this one really different, I'm thinking of an OLD FART SWAP!  You'll 
need to be at least 65 years old before the end of this year, ore thereabout.  
The fly you'd tie would be one of your own design, preferably one of your 
favorites, fly size up to you.  At this point, I'm just testing the water. As 
those of you who have participated in my seaps before already know, there'll be 
around 25 participants.  Could be more.  Could be less, depending on the number 
of OLD FARTS who can still do a whip finish. :-) ;-) :-P :-D

Time frame for flies to me would be around the first of February, with the 
usual toe tags, return postage  packaging or pre-stamped return package.

I look forward to hearing from you OF's who can still tie a fly.

Subject: [flyfishingandflytyingforpanfish] We're home from my wife's surgery

Folks: I brought my wife home from the hospital late this afternoon. Surgery 
went great. Imagine them being able to replace a knee in just 56 minutes.  
Anyway, so far, so good. She is in a lot of pain, which is to be expected with 
a 13 inch incision down the front of her left knee..But other than that, she is 
walking with a walker, and is able to bear all the weight she can handle on 
that leg already.. Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers. Please keep them 
coming because now begins the long and painful rehab she'll have to go 
through.. Thanks again, Chuck

[VFB] Hook question

2008-10-15 Thread John C. Bennett

Has anyone tried to tie a size 32 fly? The smallest I have ever tied was a size 
24. I was trying to find a place that sales them. I know that mustad makes them 
but I can't find them anywhere.
