[VFB] Sowbug 2025 / asking for travel tips

2024-02-20 Thread Rene Zillmann


Folks,

maybe I do it again. Son is just talking me into going to the sowbug 
2025 with him, and spend also some time for serious fishing. It is a 
father and son trip, not so much father and child. And my 4th visit at 
the event.


We are in an very early phase of investigation, so the outcome is not 
clear, and we also might do something very different.


Anyway: Current plan is to fly in one week before the Sowbug, fish a 
very nice area for trout or warmwater, go the Sowbug. We need to return 
on Saturday, so we could only spend 2 days at the sowbug.


Currently we are looking for an area for this initial fishery, as it is 
early in the year we are looking somehow South. One Idea is: Fly to 
Memphis, drive to Great Smokey Mountains (Near Knoxville) Do some 
Fishing, drive to the Sowbug, Attend Sowbug and return to Germany via 
Memphis. A bit of driving, though.


Any other ideas or suggestions?

Thanks a lot

Rene from Germany

Re: [VFB] Old Farts Fly Swap.

2023-05-05 Thread Rene Zillmann


Hi Keith,

I'm wondering if we should not collect the fly images and create one 
post with all flies on our Facebook-group. Would be a new sort of 
swap/post-master. This would require a deadline for sure. Each tyer 
would later add the recipe / materials list in an comment for the fly.


What are you and the others thinking?

Best

Hello folks,
Thought I would put this on a thread of its own. So the "rules" are:
Tie ONE fly of your choice.
Post a photo on thisa thread of the fly along with the recipe.
Room for as many of you that want to join in.
Age must be OVER 50 (days old!!)
Do all this with no worries about deadlines, post costs, tying 
hundreds of flies etc etc.

It can even be a photo of your favourite fly that you tied 20 years ago!!
So far there is

Look foreward to hearing from you and seeing your flies.

Hi Gary,

thanks for waking up the group. I'm still here in Germany, still doing 
some fishing and occasionally tying. I've a ton of flies in my boxes and 
I'm seldom loosing some.


On the bright side: I'm sometimes busy to bring the grandkids into tying 
and fishing. It is one of their favorites to sit down with grandpa and 
do some flies. Ok, in an age of 4 to 7 a lot of things can be improved.


I will do my best to post at least a bit from time to time.

I would be nice, if we can revive this group.

Best

Disagree, Gary.

For me it looks well organized. Scissor to the left, spools on top, 
bobbins right. A nice Danvise in the center. Material on hand. And a 
place for the finished flies.


Well, looks like the desk, when I ty with my 3 years old grandkids. How

Because of the weight I had to add more foam to keep it floating. A 
second head accomplished that.  And I think it still looks natural

hopper.  I've heard sunken hoppers sometimes work better that the

I’d love to see a picture of that 2-headed monster. . I may have
to get us some Never Snags.

Don’t know if I told you, I had a minor setback about 3 months ago. I
have a fractured vertebra. I’m wearing a bra….er…..brace that helps a
little but not a lot. I’ve been trying to get in for surgery for 6
weeks and I finally got a call this morning. It will be the 15th of
next month.

I can only tie a couple of flies before the back says STOP. It’s not
so much bending as it is holding my arms up. The fractured vertebra
is between my shoulder blades. I fractured it by simply rolling over
in bed to get up. Weak bones are no fun. I’m blaming it on radiation
therapy - one of the two tumors I had was on the back of my rib cage
near this vertebra. (The other was in my right lung.)

Other than that I’m doing well. I’ve moved into a retirement
community and am busy as ever. I delivered “Meals on Wheels” this
morning and have to leave shortly to go accompany the retirement
community chorus practice (you probably didn’t know that I play piano).

Talk to you soon,

kept it such a secret I don't know and although I don’t like

already and I have requested to join.

Re: [VFB] Tony Memorial Swap -- Idea

2020-12-10 Thread Rene Zillmann


Hi Allan,

thanks for the ideas - we can go with 4 flies, need 3 frames and the US 
host can fish his set or what he wants to do.


Sure, we will need to send a bit of $$ to the host for the frame etc. 
But,... no volunteer so far.


Best wishes

Rene,

If I weren’t in the middle of a move to downsize (followed by another move when 
my new cottage is done), I would be glad to host, but I won’t be in a position 
to do so until probably April.  It really should be finished and distributed 
before then.

When I suggested four sets, I was thinking:
1) One set to Dot, who is moving to the East Coast to be with her 
daughter Gina.
2) One set to Robert Spezio, who will stay in Mountain Home.
3) One set to the host, whomever that might be.
4) One set for the Sowbug Auction.

The host would need to mount the swap flies into shadow boxes then package them 
safely and ship them to the other recipients.  This can get quite time 
consuming and expensive, so all participants should include money to help with 
this.  I would suggest that each participant should include a minimum of $5.00 
or $10.00 (US $) along with their contribution.

I wish I weren’t in the middle of a double move.  For more reasons than the 
above.

Off topic:  How are Anna and the twins?

Best to you.

Dot is moving to New Jersey with her daughter Gina so she and Robert will be

I won’t be able to tie until around February or March because my gear is packed

sell.  I think he said he would sell it for $500, but I am not 
certain.  He has some smaller tools available.  He did not say how to 
get them, but if you have are interested, I have his son Robert's 
e-mail address.


Tony said he is no longer able to read nor to use the internet.  He is 
very weak and I could tell it took all his effort to even make the 
phone call.  He was trying to tell me something and then just said 
"Bye" and hung up. Hi nursing home is like most others and allows no 
visitors,


I am very sad to have to write this.

Nev,

they will not. Best would be before Eastern next year.

Things can change in a dramatic way within hours. Today we had a bad
day. Lonnie got a severe issue with her belly, and the doctors were
forced to do surgery. She had some punctuation on here stomach, it took
5 to 6 h to find and closed it. So the outcome was good, and we still
are allowed to have hope.

She is now appr. 29 cm long, did grow by 1.5cm, that's half of an inch.
Some of the big streamers which DonO is tying, are for sure larger.

Best wishes

today we got great news. Anna had a visit from the head physician (he
is reporting on a regular basis), and he is very satisfied how the 2
girls are doing. We have still a very long road ahead of us, nobody
expect that they will leave the ICU before Christmas, but they are
improving.

Hi Gary,

they are lovely young girls. Lonnie and Selma.

I just came back from the hospital and so far we had complications, but 
all could be handled. Thanks to all of you!


The next few days will be very important.

At one time in my career I repaired and calibrated the monitors in the 
Neonatal ICU (Premie unit). As Chuck has indicated the people that

Folks,

some of you know my youngest daughter Anna. She attended with me
the sowbug some 14 years ago. In the meantime a nice and very
intelligent young lady, she is married and is working as a lawyer
in the area of food safety.

She was pregnant with twins, and yesterday she had to give birth.
It was no as scheduled, and way too early. They need to do an
emergency-caesarian within few minutes, luckily she was already in
one of the best hospitals which is specialized for preterm delivery.

All 3 are alive, Anna is doing well but still suffers from the
rather rude treatment.

The 2 babies  are stable but are on risk. The hospital are able to
help when it happens after a certain duration of the pregnancy,
and the babies are exact on this day - not even one day extra.
Each baby has one nurse which is exclusively monitoring this
single child. as they work 8h shift and monitoring is needed all
the time, this are 3 nurses for one baby. Just to give you an
impression where we are.

We pray that this turns out well.

All rainbows.
The week before I only caught 2 or 3 and lost several more. But my 
partner landed 5, and lost several more. Found out that the dropper 
that was tied onto the bend of the hook was causing the quick 
release. I am now tying the dropper to the eye of the lead hook.
Read an article in a fly fishing book talking about using a clear 
seed bead, and a tippet ring. Tie both on the tippet ring but one 
shorter then the other and it eliminates the hooks getting fouled 
together. Will try this as soon as I can find the two sizes of tippet 
rings I have. ( the mind is a terrible thing to loose).
Will be going out next Tuesday. I will be fishing for Largemouth Bass

Fishing here has not been too good.  We have had so much rain

regulations that have been in place for a record 90 days.
Previous record was 46.  The trout streams are running a four
times normal flow.  That seems to have caused the hatches to be
off schedule.  Panfish spawning is affected too. I have managed
to catch a few fish.  But nothing is happening at the normal

caught a nice three pound Smallmouth on one.  Probably will work for

Tuesday I'm scheduled to take two of my grandsons fishing.  We will go 
to a local pond and try for Bluegills. Normally this would be a 
guaranteed success.  But you never know.  The last time I took them 
they wandered around the pond trying to catch frogs. They had a great

crawdads when I was a kid in West Virginia.

Hi Keith,

That's how it is with work, a lot of nice time- hopefully- and some odd 
in between.


Like fishing, odd are the days when you cannot hook a fish - however, 
sometimes even this days are fine.


All in all I'm quite well, one year to go till retirement, 4 grand 
children and growing, my youngest (Alan you know her...) if pregnant 
with twins, and my son has somehow managed a 3rd child. So, when I turn 
65 I have 7 grandkids around.


So, I'm in best condition...

you are not happy with it you can send it back to Orvis and they will 
refund it. What make is the Ebay jobby?
What many folk forget is that just because a line costs a load of 
money if its not a good match with the rod then it wont work to its 
optimum. Plus the way you cast as in your style can make a difference. 
I always try to get people look at this when buying lines. Ive had the 
same as you say. Cheap line and good rod matched work wonderfully. And 
on occassion the cheap rod expensive line works well. Its you that 
casts the line by bending the rod properly. The matched combo of line 
and rod make a huge difference to an un matched combo.
Its also good to get a good deal when buying your gear. Looks like you 
did that with your ebay purchase.

But the link leads to a video, which demonstrated a needle which helps 
to split a thread, It's in German, so I'm pretty sure.

Hi Bob,

welcome back from lurk-mode. No, I was kidding with the 100 flies. Don 
decided to go with 18, and that's fine.

This is filling pretty quick.
Does anyone have a cut-off point, how many tiers max?
(The PSQN is a simple pattern, so tying a few extra should do your 
arsenal well.)
I’m still working on holding on to a fly rod without being able to 
feel it in my hand. /Good side/ of that- cheap fly rods ‘feel’ just 
like high dollar ones.  I’m going to make a lanyard to attach the rod 
handle butt end to my wrist.


*Tiers:   (as of 1/19 am)*
1.  Rick Zieger
2.  Allan Fish
3.  Neville Gosling
4.  Chuck Alexander (are you still doing WW charity auctions?)
5.  Don Ordes
6.  Renr Zillman
7.  Gary Webb  *1
8.  J Balmer
9.
10.
*1  I did that ‘drinks’ swap (I may have had a helper- hard to 
remember details of events).  I’ll see if I can pull them out of my 
swap collection box, locate your PSQN, post a photo.  I tied a Cherry 
Fizz, which was a giant red salmon egg with a fuse (for explosive 
strikes).
Thanks Gary for the walk down memory lane.  (I may be down to a cane 
pole while sitting on a lawn chair on a dock, Tenkara-styling it. But 
a PSQN would be a good choice then.)
*2. I was thinking a light jig-style hook pattern for deeper water, 
too.  (Tenkara approach)
  A dark pink or red bead could also serve as the yolk of a hot 
pink egg collar.

Howdy All,
I am still in stroke recovery, but able to do more all the time- just 
need to keep my energy up.
I found an interesting fly on the internet that would be a good 
candidate for a swap. It’s called a Pink Squirrel Nymph. Many of you 
are aware of it and have probably fished it.
If you have fished it, a story can be added.  Even crawfish like this 
pattern!
Image result for crawfish took a pink squirrel fly 


Ye Rooles: (for IOFFers)
1.  Role call for who’s still here- swapping or not.
2.  List of those interested in swapping this easy and much-liked 
pattern.

3.  Lots of photos on a search of images
4.  Broad range of quarry fish
5.  Very east tie, easily adaptable to rope-dubbing if you choose
6.  Size 16 – 8 all one size or varied, style hook can vary
7.  Gray body (your choice of dubbing), pink collar (any material 
suited for a collar per the photo archives)

8.  Gold or silver bead
9.  Any customization in keeping with the basic pattern
10  Number of swappers to dictate size of swap
11.  Standard swap rules apply: toe tags, return SASE (some sort of 
pkg.) or Cash for return of flies. Recipes not needed unless you did 
something special. (Story?)

Any extra flies will be donated to good charity.
Will post a photo of all designs. Google images should pick it up.
All comments welcome. Easy tie, great fly (famous even), lots of 
variations with a common theme.

Any VFB swappers left?
Will give it a couple of weeks for distance lurkers to check in. 
Maybe we’ll have a good-ol’ days VFB Swap.

Cheers,
DonO

Wanted to challenge myself, with my eyes starting to begin to

size 16 artificial peacock quill bodied klinkhammer.  Post is
made of Fly Tyer's Dungeon material called "Water Silk" - wanted
to try it out, and it is ok but quite "poofy" to work with for
the purpose of a post.  Please excuse the hackle being
undersized... it was a goof from poor lighting more than poor
eyesight... and being golden badger, a pale one at that, it looks
even smaller than it truly is... but considering I could barely
focus to tie a size 12 a few weeks ago, I'd say I'm progressing
fairly well.  Tied on my HMH TRV vise - love this vise, it is
truly my dream vise, even if the jaws are a knock-off of the LAW
vise jaws (personal opinion).  I view that as a plus, personally.
Picture attached, and hopefully I figured out how to resize it
adequately... sorry if I didn't do it correctly.

Re: [VFB] What is in your vices? HACKLE

2018-11-27 Thread Rene Zillmann

Hi Don,

we all need all the time hackle. To be honest, when I was at the sowbug 
last year, I did buy some nice black and grizzly necks/saddle. I'm nicely 
stocked there. The only hackle I'm still searching is a shinny, reddish 
dun. I have some 5 or 7 saddles, necks, even one full pelt in colors close 
to it, but only close...

Nice to see you posting, I wish you a speedy recovery.

Rene

hm,.. sorry, that I did not answer any of your posts. Was wondering that

What are you doing to tie next?

I will ty a lot of my parachute beetles, but with different body

And I'll do some variations for EHCs for a similar reason.

best washroom I've seen. Fast running river, could not wade.. Tried to 
fish the river from the campground, difficult to cast due to trees and 
bushes. We tried some olive bugger, Klinkhammer without success. 
However, on the opposite side we have seen an easy access and also some 
gavel banks. But we could not test it. Excellent dinner in the 
restaurant on the campground.


The next stop was on the Lucerne campground in the Mt. Robson Park, 
'close' to Jasper. Only basic service there, just some outhouses, and a 
ticker with well water - do not drink - at the entry. However, we have 
been prepared, so we had the freshwater tanks in our RVs full, and the 
black/grey tanks empty..


Great scenery, the Yellowhead lake is a gem, and might hold some large 
trout. But some people swimming in it. We tried it later with some 
bugger, but no success. On the 2nd day we found a further, really nice 
spot, some deep holes. But, wile looking around we did see some 
tracks with long claws, we were sure 1 hour ago some bears had been 
there. Strange feeling We finished fishing not much later and for 
some odd reasons we refused to return to the spot later on the evening. 
I'm used to be at the end of the food chain, not somewhere in the middle.


On the next day my BC license did expire.

That's the end of the story, as mentioned, we didn't catch any more fish 
- but had an exciting time there. The remaining days brought us back to 
Vancouver, some more nice campgrounds, a great evening in Vancouver and 
a very comfortable flight back.

Re: [VFB] Bad news and Great news.

2018-08-06 Thread Rene Zillmann


Hi Allan, Hi Tony - if you read this.

That's great knows for me. My son broke one of his toes some days ago - 
while we were traveling in B.C. -and said not that bad, if he has to 
select a part of his body to loose, he would select a toe. He was a bit 
in danger to loose the toe, as it was not clear if the necessary blood 
vessels are still ok. It went ok.


From that experience, the news about Tony are good.

Best wishes

Rene

He is still in the hospital at the moment.

[VFB] Rocky Mountains Trip -- Rene

2018-08-05 Thread Rene Zillmann


Hi friends,

Sorry for the short notice from yesterday. I was still traveling, 
thought you deserve at least a short note that I'm fine.


We returned home in the meantime, and I can say we had a great time and 
it was an extraordinary experience. It was a family trip, and we did 
hope to do some nice fishing - so, let me focus on fishing.


Thanks to Nev we had no issues to obtain the B.C. license. We (my wife 
and me) did fly into Vancouver, grabbed a RV and finally joint our son 
and his family in Clearwater. From there we drove into the Wells Gray 
Park, and did stay 3 days at the Wells Gray Golf Resort and RV Park. For 
those of you, who like golf and fly-fishing - a spot to consider. Pam is 
a friendly and helpful host, the park is nicely kept - and Clearwater as 
a town to buy food just an hour away. I cannot comment on the quality of 
the golf course. No mobile phone network there, but that might be a good 
message for some of us.


For flyfishing: the Clearwater river is running through the camp side, 
is loaded with trout and is easy to access. The first 2 days we did wade 
and fish downstream. The bottom of the river is covered with smaller and 
mid-sized gravel and easy to wade. Caught a huge number (stopped 
counting after 20) smaller and mid-sized (12 inches) trout. Each spot, 
which might keep fish, had fish. We did catch all on dries, good flies 
have been Madam-X as hopper pattern, Klinkhammer (lots of mosquito 
around and biting), bivisible and EHCs. Released the fish.


On the 3rd day we did fish upstream (had to move our RVs to a new side), 
different characteristic of the river. Huge blocks of stones, huge trees 
in the water, a bit tricky to wade and to stay dry. The fish were a bit 
larger, and good to catch. Same pattern. I switched later to stone-fly 
nymphs, as I encountered some larger fish in pockets, close to the trees 
and further logs in the water. I did catch one of the larger ones, but 
still in the mid-size group. I had to stop fishing earlier in the 
evening. I'm sure that it is possible to find and catch larger ones in 
this area.


I continue with the report tomorrow, however - to be honest -,, hm... we 
did not catch any fish on the next spots.


Best wishes

Rene

Hi Tony,

Bad messages have often positive components. Even if the situation is 
bad and horrible, they can do something to improve it. And today, if 
just a foot is missing - I know about more horrible things.


Even with a missing foot, you might be able to fish from the dock.

I wish you all the best and you are in my prayers. Send my best wishes 
also to Dot.

Hi Nev,


thanks a lot, got your emails.

For the license: I understand, I need the basic license, and additional 
the license for specific fish, and probably also for classified rivers.


Makes it sense to get the basis license, and later to purchase the extra 
ones if needed, e.g. on the campground??


Thanks a lot for your help

it's me, well, a good part of me anyway.
The stroke hit my right half (left side of brain) so lost all movement

also lost the vision on right side of both eyes.
so I'm typing with left hand with a small arc of vision.  This is my 
1st email work since stroke.


I've been home two weeks now and am progressing with therapy and 
recovery very well according to therapists.
Using my right hand for some things, but still have no feeling, which 
is weird.
I am doing some walking therapy, but again no feeling.  Hope all 
feeling comes back with time.


Still have appt. with eye doctor next week. Hope he can do something.
Don't know about the numbness in my face, will have to check later- 
big fallout

of that is drooling at times, and then the constant numbness..

Had to sell the new home we just bought to get a single level. All 
went amazingly fast and well. Will post new address soon.


Can't tell you how much of a blessing it is to have a fantastic wife 
who stepped up to the plate as hit nothing but homers since that 
night.  My incredible sister came up from Mesa as has been an a 
incredible helper for both Cheryl and me.


Alan DiSomma is due here Sunday and we will be discussing my fly 
business and what of mine to sell. Plus we'll discuss fate of video 
projects.


All input is welcome.  Have no idea on what I'll recover after time, 
but I have a lot to get sold to simplify and cover meds.


Well, at the limit of my endurance for now.  Took over an hour for 
this 5 minute email.


As you can imagine, I have a lot of recovery time on my hands, so 
reading emails from my friends would be much appreciated and great for 
my mental therapy.  Hope you are all having wonderful summers.


Very Best Regards,

Hello to everyone, this is his
son, Donny.

Thank you so
much for all the kind well wishes and words. I was able to
open Don's email and we read all of your messages to
him, as he is unable to read much.  He asked me to thank
everyone and to say hello.

He is still recovering in the therapy unit of
St. Al's hospital in Boise. When he had the stroke he
lost the use of the right side of his body. So his arm and
hand, leg, and even his vision on the right half of his body
were all affected (he can see out of both eyes, but only
from his nose to his left side). Unfortunately he is right
handed, so using his left hand for everything is also
difficult by itself.

However, he is steadily making progress in his
recovery and has regained the ability to move his limbs and
use them to some extent. He still requires a great deal of
assistance to get up and move, but the therapists are
optimistic that he will continue to improve. Only time will
tell how much capability he will recover. He is scheduled to
be released from the hospital to go home this Thursday, but
we will continue with having therapists come in to work with
him to help with his rehab.

Again, thank you all  for your kind words and
support, I will continue to monitor his emails and forward
your thoughts and questions to him.

Thank you.

Hi Don,

Subject: [VFB] Trip to British Columbia


Gang,

my son has talked me into a trip to B.C. in July next year. We will have
our wives and (grand)children with us, but intend to do some serious
fishing. So, 8 months of preparation. He will fly in to Vancouver and
later drive to Calgary. He will be there for 4 weeks, Klara and me will
join him for a week.

So,

what is the better choice - fishing related -, meet him at Vancouver or
Calgary?

How is fishing there?

How do I obtain a license? I've figured out a website, but is this valid
for aliens as well? I guess I need a base license and licenses per
species (group of)?

And: What sort of rods - no brands, I build them by my own.

What flies?

Any suggestions appreciated

Rene

Re: [VFB] Wing Things 2.0 Tips

2017-03-11 Thread Rene Zillmann


Hi Don,

It is indeed a very interesting and challenging project, but I cannot 
talk in public about it. However, as I'm just a regular employee, it 
neither increases nor decreases my pay-check. It just ensures that it is 
paid.


Thanks for putting it all together, was a nice and recreational hour to 
read carefully through it.


Your trick with the hot water is something I'd like to try, however this 
will be later. If you treat the finished fly with the hot water: What is 
your experience regarding the durability of the paint? Is there a risk 
that some of the dye will add color to additional feathers?


Rene

Rene,
I hope it’s a *good job* that keeps you on the go. Lots of .
I don’t use the Wing Things to attach the wings to the hook, although 
I actually could if needed.
Easiest thing is to list the things I do with them, which will all be 
in the Wing Things 2.0 extension of the article.  And I’ll probably do 
a You-tube video.  I’ll try to list them in order. (I’ll be using this 
as the outline for /Ver 2.0 Wing Things/ on my website with lots more 
photos.)
1. *Group bulk feathers left and right**, (off of one cape) trimmed 
and set to length, size, color, webbieness, etc.  So if I want big 
presentation streamers I group all the big feathers at the back of the 
cape, trim the downy butt ends and insert as many will fit in the wing 
thing.  I have bigger straws to accommodate large groups of thick 
feathers. For smaller fishing flies, I start in the middle of the cape.
Depending on whether I’m tying a bunch or similar patterns for a swap 
or designing individual flies, this grouping of large quantities of 
L/R hackles is useful. Sometimes I use the tubes, and sometimes I have 
extras stored in small plastic pockets, especially when I’m 
designing.  (Photos in WT 2.0)
**2.* I have many necks that dried ‘weird’ and *don’t have equal 
rights and lefts* (especially old Chinese capes). Also, the modern 
drying techniques for bagging actually set a reverse curve (or even a 
twist) in the feathers from the natural, so what you think is a left 
is actually a right.  The vendor hot dying & drying process re-sets 
the curves, so another hot water bath will reset the curves the way 
you want them- regardless of L/R bends, in a Wing Thing. So set an 
*equal number* of L/R feathers in the Wing Thing (ignore curves & 
twists) and run it through hot water and lay the whole group on a 
blotter with the shape you want to let it dry.  This will also expose 
non-color-fast dyes used, and you can see from my blotter in the 
photos.  When they dry you will have equal #s of properly curved 
rights and lefts OR all straight if that’s what you need.  For 
presentation flies, I always use a slight graceful curve. The wing 
will dry dense, still looking wet, but *combing it out with a small 
brush* will restore the dry bulk of the wing.
Note that this /so far is for a single bulk color/. Once the finished 
multi-wing wing is built, or the fly is finished, another dredge 
through the hot water helps to control unruly feathers, along with 
some other techniques I’ll mention. Sometimes I’ll be able to wait 
until the fly is finished before I dredge it. /Depends on how the 
feathers are cooperating./
*3. For grouping/holding/controlling feathers while designing*.  The 
article explains this pretty well, for both wings and cheeks. But if 
the feathers aren’t cooperating, there’s more you can do.
*4.* Once I have my wing ‘dead to rights’, *I tie the tips together* 
with about 6-10 tight wraps, /no knot or glue/, before inserting into 
the WTs.  This keeps the wing feathers from sliding back and forth as 
I insert cheek groups or individual feathers.  I do this 
cheek-matching many times and the thread knot controls my wing 
layering.  If I want to change the layering, the thread slides right 
off and I can re-design the wing.
*5.* Once I have the wing-set I want, or if I have a lot of wing 
feathers that may try to rotate around as I tie the group down, *I’ll 
drop in some head cement into the back end of the Wing Thing tube* and 
watch it penetrate into the wing feather tips just a little, catching 
some barbs, before setting it on a pin. Don’t worry if you over-do it 
a little, the cheeks cover the glue area. *Once it dries, pull it out 
and trim the front tips to a short wedge* so there’s no hump in the 
head when you tie it down.  Re-insert or tie down onto the hook.** If 
you are having a hard time keeping the wing feathers stable while 
gluing, use a reverse tweezers to grab the fly at the cheek area to 
flatten it out while drying. (will have photos)
**I like to tie the belly fibers before tying the wing- helps position 
the wing better with a larger base.
To Answer Rene’s question about using the wing things to attach the 
wing to the hook, If you didn’t use glue, you could tie the loaded 
wing-ting down real tight, pull off the wing thing, trim the butt 
ends, and finish

Hi Peggy,

I vote for a dry fly swap. Maybe classic dry fly.

Everybody who participates lists a classic pattern, and you are doing a 
sort of lottery and are selecting a pattern for each.


Can be US or European pattern.

asking about the Sparse Grey Matter show in NJ
because it would be less than 2 hrs drive time and
my wife could drive my son and I to and from, with

I was cruising the
net and heard of a fly tying event called the
"Sparse
Grey Matter Fly Tying Festival" somewhere in New
Jersey, USA that is held annually (assuming it
is still
going on?) and the video I saw was from 2012. 
Does anyone

know, first, is this still something that is
going on, and
second, where can I find details for the 2017
festival /
show?  New Jersey isn't too far from where I'm at,
here in PA, and I tend to favor the
tying-themed, as opposed
to fishing-themed, shows. Plus it could be yet
another show
to add to my growing list of shows to attend.

Hi Peggy,

thanks. Is it a reasonable distance from Memphis to Mountain Home? 3 and 
a half hours says google. So, looks like an option


Maybe it is also worth to fly in to Memphis instead of Springfield what 
I did in the past. I have some time also, but need to book flights appr. 
in October.

Rick,

that's true, and that's one of the great things in flyfishing. It takes
time to understand the water, how to fish, where the fish are. Part of
the fun to explore a new water.

going to limit the number? After all this subject got me out in

I ask because this will be the factor in frame size.
Any fly you fancy as long as it fits the frame ( NO 17/0 hooks Don :-)
15/0
are fine ;-) )
So there you go. I will tie a fly on a salmon hook Spey style.

Hi KP:

I have taken a copy of the photo that Birdie’s daughter Kelly sent and
have used Adobe Lightroom to perform a minor crop,
The seat in front of them with the sweater water bottle have been
removed as the main attention is Birdie Kelly. I have also
tweaked with the exposure and white balance in order to make it a bit
brighter. I am no expert with Lightroom and am still
trying to learn how to use it to improve my photos.

I suggest that you locate a good quality photo lab. Very often the
best may be found at a store that specializes in cameras.
Ideally you could copy it to a thumb/flash drive and take it to a
local store and discuss what you want for the picture.
It should always be saved at full strength i.e. full size. I will
email to you via Dropbox full size and then you can download them.

Re the flies - In my humble opinion, trout flies and salmon flies
don’t display very well when they are mixed together especially
as the hook size for salmon flies is normally much bigger. This is
just my personal opinion, but I feel that the end result will look
better if the flies are either all trout or all salmon but not a mix.
Furthermore, it is better to keep the size roughly the same.
Just my 2 cents worth.

I attach my draft of the pictures. The darker on is the original and
the brighter one my tweaked version . I will send the full size
versions to you via dropbox………..Nev

Hi Al:

Adobe is changing the way it is doing business. I purchased Lightroom
5 Christmas 2013 and they have just recently released Lightroom 6,
however one can get the latest versions of Lightroom and Photoshop by
monthly subscription of $9.95/month as an online web based program. It
is rumoured that Lightroom 6 may be the last time that it can be
purchased as a software program on a disc and all future version will
be web based. I suspect that Adobe makes more $$$ that way.

 Hi Nev,
 I think the photo after adjustment is perfect and needs no more
 attention just a good printer to print it out nicely.
 So that's the background/focal point sorted for the frame. Frame size
 will be governed by how many flies are going to get done. So lets get
 this one
 sorted asap.
 If you need my postal addy then pm me or email me using BIRDY as the
 subject line. I will get you to send it to my works addy as we are
 open 7days and the post is better than sending to my home addy.
  I have changed my mind on my fly. It will be a wet fly or two based
 on bird names. EG Woodcock and Hares Ear. I think Allan is doing
 similar.
 As its a frame could everyone that is sending a fly include a small
 business card size card with the name of the fly and a signature. I
 will put them on the rear of the frame
 if there's enough room or in a booklet type thing if not.
 ANY questions let me know folks.

 coming 3 times per day to wash me and help try to feed me but I dont have any 
 appetite so I am losing strength.
 I will keep you as informed as,I can and have told my wife and daughter to 
 let you know if I am unable to. In case I cannot get back It has been a 
 pleasure to be a part of this group in my own small way and I wish everyone 
 the best.

 Hi Jimmy,
 glad that you are back on line.
 Seems to be that in your neck of the woods the same technicians do work.
 My ISP did put me in offline mode for 11 days, now the line is back.
 However, they don't know why. Like Black Magic.
 And this is Germany, not Jamaica.
 Anyway, hope you have a great time. And best wishes to all VFBler...

Re: [VFB] Rene Christmas Swap

2014-12-09 Thread Rene Zillmann

Hi Tony,

unfortunately I've never hosted a swap from Europe. Postage back to the
US is appr. 10$. However, I created a couple of pages for swaps.
I have all of the flies in a database, and from the database this must
be your fly. Tied for the xmas swap on 2003, Iain Short from the UK did
host the swap.
I attach a picture of your fly.

Best wishes

Rene

 Rene,
 What was the Christmas Swap that you hosted. I remember tying a woven
 fly with all three Christmas colors.

Re: [VFB] Denny Conrad

So sorry to hear this,
I remember Denny well, on my fist trip to the Sowbug he suggested that i
move over from the hotel into the cabin where he and forgot his name
staid. Jimi joined the gang as well, we talked the whole night about
roosters, hackle, hens and eggs. His knowledge was amazing. Will really
miss him.

Re: [VFB] Nail knot

Hi Tony,
from experience, I can tell you. Don't worry, just a matter of exercise
and experience. Maybe you start with a nail which is less stiff.
