 While I never saw the
 fish, it acted like catfish. I used to have a two piece 5 wt  that I kept 
rigged for when I only had time to go to the  pond, had a cat in almost the 
same exact place crack the rod  right @ the ferrule while I was fighting it. 
That was a  smaller fish:)

 I had the same thing happen at a slew on  Crooked Creek but I got the see the 
Carp. I thought I was  snagged but the line slowly started coming up. The Carp 
was  right up on top, it looked like a submarine coming up. It  just stayed 
there for a few seconds and rolled breaking off  my last Chili Pepper. I tried 
to have it take another fly  with no luck.

RE: [VFB] Fishing

['Anthony Spezio' via VFB Mail]

That fish that broke you off on the Chili Pepper might of been a Carp. I had 
six break me off one day on Crooked Creek all on Chili Peppers. I also had them 
break me off other times. One I was able to see was I would guess a yard long.. 
I got about spooled on one of them  all on Chili Peppers except one, that one 
straightened the hook on a sz 12 fly.
I have that fly and shown it to several list members that have been here.

This was Frog Hair & was probably several years old, I don’t use 3x very often. 
I’ve use 2x quite a bit in similar circumstances, guess I’ve learned a lesson:)

You'd think so. Maybe nicks in the tippet or knots. Usually I'm using 10 lb

Re: [VFB] Fishing report- Keys

[Peggy Brenner]

We have been up in Florida, east of Orlando, in Titusville, usually nice 
fishing in the Mosquito lagoon and connecting Indian River lagoon


Same high winds and cool, the fishing has been off for several months 
according to folks who usually come down every winter.  This is our 
first year so we feel warm at 65 and knowing we have 3 feet of snow at 
home on the ground with another foot coming makes it seem nice to use.


March 2 we are heading over to Sowbug, should arrive the 15th of March.

Back from 7 days in the Keys, and had a great time. Weather did not
co-operate though, and it was windy and cool with overcast skies mostly,
so the water temp. never got up to even 70°F.
Spent a couple of days on a flats boat casting platform, and my shoulder
and back dust protesteth much. Trying to long-distance cast in high
winds with a great degree of accuracy is almost impossible with moving
fish that are not moving in a straight line and are also and boat and
rod-shy, and all from a raised platform 18” across.
But I did catch some snappers when I was casting to some baby tarpon
under the mangroves.  I cast at a lot of big barracudas and some
good-sized sharks, and a monster 7’ tarpon, but nothing was in the
feeding mood due to the cold water. Even the turtles we passed were shut
down.
The bigger blue-water boats checking in at the dock were not coming in
with anything special, citing the weather, wind, and swells as the
reasons. So I decided not to try that with a fly rod.
But it was relaxing and a needed respite from work.  I really like the
Keys and may retire there.

Re: [VFB] Fishing report- Keys

['TONY SPEZIO' via VFB Mail]

We all need to get together again. Hope Anthony's will reopen by then.

We have been up in Florida, east of Orlando, in Titusville, usually nice 
fishing in the Mosquito lagoon and connecting Indian River lagoon

Same high winds and cool, the fishing has been off for several months 
according to folks who usually come down every winter.  This is our 
first year so we feel warm at 65 and knowing we have 3 feet of snow at 
home on the ground with another foot coming makes it seem nice to use.

March 2 we are heading over to Sowbug, should arrive the 15th of March.

 Back from 7 days in the Keys, and had a great time. Weather did not
 co-operate though, and it was windy and cool with overcast skies mostly,

 Spent a couple of days on a flats boat casting platform, and my shoulder
 and back dust protesteth much. Trying to long-distance cast in high
 winds with a great degree of accuracy is almost impossible with moving
 fish that are not moving in a straight line and are also and boat and
 rod-shy, and all from a raised platform 18” across.
 But I did catch some snappers when I was casting to some baby tarpon
 under the mangroves.  I cast at a lot of big barracudas and some
 good-sized sharks, and a monster 7’ tarpon, but nothing was in the
 feeding mood due to the cold water. Even the turtles we passed were shut
 down.
 The bigger blue-water boats checking in at the dock were not coming in
 with anything special, citing the weather, wind, and swells as the
 reasons. So I decided not to try that with a fly rod.
 But it was relaxing and a needed respite from work.  I really like the
 Keys and may retire there.

Re: [VFB] fishing / ankjle querstion, socks

[Don Ordes]

JimmyD,

Use knee-high compression socks (Footsmart has really good white ones, plus 
colored ones)  rest with your legs elevated.  If you like to fall asleep in a 
chair, make sure your legs are raised.  If you drive long ways, take lots of 
rests with walks.  I fought this for years, everything back to normal now.  
Hammocks are good for resting.  Circulation is the key, and your kidneys are 
key to that, so if you can, get a blood test. Worst thing is to get a blood 
clot deep in your legs.  If you can get Jody to massage from your calfs down, 
that would help a great deal. 

That BP is a little high, but not bad for an ancient old fart. Mine was 117 
over 70 yesterday at the docs.
Not bad for a half-ancient old fart. Got my insulin shots down to a min. with 
very stable blood sugars and have lost 30# so far. Doc is real happy with my 
progress. My eyes are fading a little, wearing prescriptions glasses from 30 
years ago to watch TV crystal clear, but still need reading glasses to tie. Can 
still see to drive w/out glasses.

Fly tying related now.  Just had an insurance adjuster here to look at some 
snowstorm damage- wrote me a check on the spot. He travels a lot, so I asked 
him if he fly-fished as he travelled, and he said yes. So a fly fishing 
conversation ended up in my fly room with a rope-dubbing tutorial and a Baits 
Motel show. He said it was the hilight of his summer. I also gave him a handful 
of RD sample flies. He was headed home to try it out.

My right calf has swelled considerably over the last few day. The only thing I 
can think of 
is wearing my orthopedic ankle boot, which is where the swelling .  No pain, 
the ankle 12
boot very tight and suspect this caused the swelling.  Anyway, I'm 
discontinuing the boot till 
swelling goes down.  

No insect bites, nothing but ut the boot velcro fasteners being very tight.  
No High blood preure, no diabetes, no heart problems, BP 130 / 115..  
However, since 
I quit wearing the boot the swelling seems to be going down.Talked to fishing 
doc of mine and 
he said get some compression socks that reqach from ankle to knee. If any of 
you have  had
the same or siimilar problem, please let e know let me know what you did..

Re: [VFB] Fishing the other day

[Alan Di Somma]

I got to go out Thursday with a friend.

Caught one largemouth, two sun fish and one trout.

It rained but I brought my rain coat and kept fishing. I was hoping it would 
stop but it didn't. I was wearing my cowboy hat and it kept me dry for a good 
while until it got soaked. Then it started running down my neck. That's when I 
rowed my pontoon boat back to shore and sat in the truck. Nothing worse than 
being wet and cold.

YES! 

I know you think my brain is fried!! but when we got to the lake it was 68DEG.

After the rain I was COLDDD!

Remember, all of Arizona is not in the desert. Much of the state has the same

Why do you think we call them the White Mountains?

started to get to me and I knew I would not be out there very long. I spent 
about 45 minuets by the pond and ended up with Five Bass and missed at least 
three.
I spent the rest of the time till Dot got finished in the air conditioned 
waiting room.
Was not much of a fishing trip but I did get to fish and that was better 
than not fishing at all.

After the rain I was COLDDD! 

Remember, all of Arizona is not in the desert. Much of the state has the

Re: [VFB] Fishing the other day

I was stopped  at a parking area on the road going up. Was told I had to have 
snow chains or 4wd to go up any further. Got a ride the rest of the way to the 
ski area with a family that  going up there.

Today I got a treat, I got to go fishing for a short while. I have not been 
fishing for about eight months. My wife Dot had a doctor's appointment that I 
knew would be a long wait. I put my fly rod in the car and we left. The doctor 
has a pond right next to the parking lot at his office. I have fished there 
before when Dot has to go in to see him.
It was overcast so I rigged up with a Sparkle Olive Dumbbell eye Bugger. Made 
the first case and just stripped about two strips and Fish On. It was a small 
Bass. The pond was thick with moss along the bank. so landing the fish was a 
mess. It came in with a big load of moss on it. I made a few more casts and 
decided the fly was too heavy with all that moss so I switched over to a sz 14 
Chili Pepper. Caught another bass and then another. I broke off trying to land 
the next bass in the moss. Tied on another Chili Pepper and the same thing. 
Got a couple of bass and again lost it landing a bass in the moss. I was down 
to one Chili Pepper. Lo and behold If I did not do the same thing and lost 
that one.
I then tied on an Olive Bugger with a red bead head. The first cast produced a 
Bass a few casts later another Bass. then I managed to hook a tree behind me 
and broke off. Now that was four flies lost. I then tied on a Purple Marabou 
Bugger and on the first cast I had a fish on. A few more casts and short 
strikes I had another bass landed, again loaded with moss. I hooked up again 
and the Bass got into the moss after a couple of nice jumps and I broke that 
one off. Total five flies lost. I fished just over an hour and my wife came 
out to the car just as I tied on a WRD. I did not get to cast it. I spent a 
lot of time cleaning moss of my flies but it was a real good day fishing. I 
did get photos of two of the Bass. All Bass were released unharmed. I landed a 
total of ten Bass.

Not quite on the water but on the bank close enough to the water. The problem 
was the moss along the bank, it extended as much as three or four feet beyond 
the bank. Dot has another appointment next Monday, I plan to hit the pond again.

Today I got a treat, I got to go fishing for a short while. I have not been 
fishing for about eight months. My wife Dot had a doctor's appointment that I 
knew would be a long wait. I put my fly rod in the car and we left. The doctor 
has a pond right next to the parking lot at his office. I have fished there 
before when Dot has to go in to see him.
It was overcast so I rigged up with a Sparkle Olive Dumbbell eye Bugger. Made 
the first case and just stripped about two strips and Fish On. It was a small 
Bass. The pond was thick with moss along the bank. so landing the fish was a 
mess. It came in with a big load of moss on it. I made a few more casts and 
decided the fly was too heavy with all that moss so I switched over to a sz 14 
Chili Pepper. Caught another bass and then another. I broke off trying to land 
the next bass in the moss. Tied on another Chili Pepper and the same thing. Got 
a couple of bass and again lost it landing a bass in the moss. I was down to 
one Chili Pepper. Lo and behold If I did not do the same thing and lost that 
one.
I then tied on an Olive Bugger with a red bead head. The first cast produced a 
Bass a few casts later another Bass. then I managed to hook a tree behind me 
and broke off. Now that was four flies lost. I then tied on a Purple Marabou 
Bugger and on the first cast I had a fish on. A few more casts and short 
strikes I had another bass landed, again loaded with moss. I hooked up again 
and the Bass got into the moss after a couple of nice jumps and I broke that 
one off. Total five flies lost. I fished just over an hour and my wife came out 
to the car just as I tied on a WRD. I did not get to cast it. I spent a lot of 
time cleaning moss of my flies but it was a real good day fishing. I did get 
photos of two of the Bass. All Bass were released unharmed. I landed a total of 
ten Bass.

Tony,

I had a good day this morning and didn't even wet a line.

I went to help with this month's Project Healing Waters outing.  Mr. 
'celebrity' was there with his two boys.  He had never fly fished.  So 
they went out in the boat with me.  Another fellow came along who is a 
really good 'coach' had Jeff and his oldest boy (12 yrs) casting pretty 
well.  The six yr old didn't try it - he used his Zebco.Quite a few 
bluegills and bass were caught - all on Rick Zeiger's Goldie Junior 
till the last 45 minutes, when they started hitting poppers.


I basically managed the boat in the light breeze that kept blowing us 
out to the middle.  But having one of my all-time favorite pro football 
players fish with me was an honor.  Jeff Saturday is the former pro-bowl 
center for the Indianapolis Colts.   Jeff is a true gentleman and about 
as nice a guy as you would ever want to meet.


That was followed by a birthday party for two of my great-grandkids.

All in all a it has been a good day.  But I'm pooped. G

a.

p.s.:  We had a ton of vets and a ton of mentors.  No vets were 'lost in 
the shuffle'.  Everyone had a great time.

This is  a story that started three years ago.
I got a call about three years ago from someone in Mississippi that said he 
would be in Arkansas for a week with his wife. He said he has seen my name on 
the Internet as a fly tyer and wanted to know if he could come buy and visit 
with me. He said that he knew I lived on the White River and his dream was to 
catch a Trout.
I invited him to come by and visit but I did not think we could get out and 
fish. He and his wife got up to visit with us and Bob and I went to the tying 
bench. I showed him how I tie a Chili Pepper and a few other flies. We could 
not get out to fish as they were running all eight generators. We had a lot of 
rain and the lakes were over filled.. Bob and I kept in touch and always the 
subject came up about catching a Trout. We had high water when he was up here 
again and again.
This year we are finally having some low water and Bob got up here. We planned 
on getting out Sunday after they got here but they were running four units. On 
Monday they were running two units and finally yesterday, they were running one 
unit so we decided to go out.
Bob was here at 7 am but the fog was so heavy on the river that we could not 
take the boat out. Both of us can't wade anymore so we have to fish form the 
boat. Finally at nine o clock the fog lifted and we went out. Headed up to 
Tucker Shoals only to find a boat was already drifting the run. I took him to 
the cove below the shoal. We anchored and I was already rigged up so I made a 
cast with the Chili Pepper. Hooked up on that first cast to a nice Rainbow. I 
thought this is going to be a good day. We fished that area for an hour moving 
the boat to a few different places with not a hit. Bob was really working at 
trying to catch a fish. He also was using a Chili Pepper.
There were no fish working the surface and too much water and current to use a 
soft hackle.
We fished for about another hour and the wind really started to come up. I 
caught another Rainbow but Bob never had a hit. I decided to drift along the 
bank and let Bob fish while I handled the boat. Between the current and wind 
the boat had to be operated by me.
After several drifts and nothing doing,Bob said we might as well quit. I told 
him that I thought there was enough water running to get over the shoals and up 
to the island. I carefully navigated the boat over the shoals and we got up to 
the island. I got the boat into position for a drift over the sand bar when I 
heard Bob yell. He hooked up. We landed 14 Rainbow. I thought Bob was going to 
dance in the boat. The wind got to really blowing too much to stay out so we 
headed back to my dock. Bob was like a kid at Christmas time getting a new 
bike. I was happy that he got his first trout that he had been dreaming about 
even though conditions were not the best.
Guess what, this morning the dam is shut down and no fog on the river. 
Arkansas Tony

RE: [VFB] Fishing

[Webb, Gary]

Jimmy your story about an Ambassador 5000 reminded me of one  I found for my 
Dad.  He had always  wanted one, but with a wife and six kids it was way 
outside of the budget limits.  I found a broken one at a garage sale a bought 
it for $5.00.   I about ABU's  lifetime warranty for their Ambassador reels, 
and  I paid more for shipping and handling than I had for the reel. They were 
true to their word, and it came back just like new. I gave it to him for 
Father's Day and he was one surprised and happy man.

Tony, once years ago, when my Dad was a big catfishmerman, he hooked onto

it up and it was a beautiful red Ambassador 5000 reel and True Temper casting

20 years. I inherited it and still have it.  It works, but after all the

 Got to go fishing with my son and his wife on Wed.
 Big thunder storm was lurking so I took my time getting ready before carrying 
 a lightning rod out on the water.
 After finally getting out I stared paddling my pontoon boat about 10 or 15 
 yards out, I looked down and both fly rods were gone. I looked back towards 
 shore and saw one sticking straight up. Went back and got it but was really 
 BUMMED. The one I lost was a Cortland Black
 Diamond 9ft. 5wt. And a Scientific Anglers reel.

 After getting my mind cleared I managed to get 4 small mouthed bass on a 
 mosquito.

 Tried getting down with a sink tip and a wooly worm, but no luck.
 Stuck with what was working and got two on two casts.

 The water was like glass after the storm blew over.

 I've got to find a way to secure fly rods so I don't loose any more. Down to 
 11 now.

 Thank you,

I don't know if I still have one. We lost so much stuff in the move we made to

 Got to go fishing with my son and his wife on Wed.
 Big thunder storm was lurking so I took my time getting ready before carrying 
 a lightning rod out on the water.
 After finally getting out I stared paddling my pontoon boat about 10 or 15 
 yards out, I looked down and both fly rods were gone. I looked back towards 
 shore and saw one sticking straight up. Went back and got it but was really 
 BUMMED. The one I lost was a Cortland Black
 Diamond 9ft. 5wt. And a Scientific Anglers reel.
 
 After getting my mind cleared I managed to get 4 small mouthed bass on a 
 mosquito.
 
 Tried getting down with a sink tip and a wooly worm, but no luck.
 Stuck with what was working and got two on two casts.
 
 The water was like glass after the storm blew over.
 
 I've got to find a way to secure fly rods so I don't loose any more. Down to 
 11 now.
 
 Thank you,

Of course..we just were careful to dry off when we got wet so mother didn't 
know. I asked her once, when I was older, and she said that she knew and did a 
lot of praying for us, constant warnings, but knew we would play by the lake 
(in our back yard about 10 rods from the  house).  I had the ideal childhood, a 
horse to ride and a lake to fish as soon as I got my chores done. Joyce

I second the drag a hook suggestion.  As a child, I and my sisters would look 
for fishermen who got mad and threw their rods and reels into the lake.  Often 
there was a bobber attached. We'd wait until they were gone, and then, without 
my mother's knowledge (none of us could swim) would throw a rock out near the 
bobber and Shep, the faithful dog, would run out to where the splash was, grab 
the bobber, and drag the line to shore. By careful pulling we could get the rod 
and reel close enough that we could wade out and get the pole. Of course, there 
was always the danger that the dog would get hooked, but we were lucky and he 
didn't. We quickly learned that a garden rake was the ideal gadget to fish 
for the rod and bring it up.  You may want to go back with a long handled 
garden rake and see if you can't retrieve your lost rod.  Just a suggestion.

Re: [VFB] Fishing

[Don Ordes]

It was the rod that was dropped overboard,
 
and it had a giant fish on the hook, too.

Hook, line, and sinker  gulp.

  This is a true story. 
  Some years ago when I was going out on Charter Party boats for Salt 
Water fishing we had a guy drop his rod and reel in the ocean. We stopped 
catching fish at that spot so the captain of the boat moved to another spot. 
After a couple of hours the fish stopped biting and we moved back to the first 
spot. You guessed it, one of the fisherman on the boat hooked into something. 
It was the rod that was dropped overboard. That is one in a lifetime chance.

Re: [VFB] Fishing

[Chuck Alexander]

That would probably work great. When I was stationed in the FL panhandle, we 
used to rake up oysters off the bottom of the bays with that setup, so if 
those tines will grab little oysters, it should grab a fly rod easily LOL..Chuck

  Drill a hole in the end of the garden rake handle so that you can tie a 
length of rope to it, then go back and use it as a grapling hook..try it and 
see if you like it.  You may have to weight the rake a bit by tying on a piece 
of rebar.  Good luck.  I'd not give up for sure. Joyce

several years ago I was in a fantasy swap and one of the tiers had a huge

I guess it would be a 3/0 or 4/0.

Re: [VFB] Fishing

[Anthony Spezio]

This is a true story. 
Some years ago when I was going out on Charter Party boats for Salt Water 
fishing we had a guy drop his rod and reel in the ocean. We stopped catching 
fish at that spot so the captain of the boat moved to another spot. After a 
couple of hours the fish stopped biting and we moved back to the first spot. 
You guessed it, one of the fisherman on the boat hooked into something. It was 
the rod that was dropped overboard. That is one in a lifetime chance.

I am going to try that ASAP.
I sure would like to get that rod back.
It casts very nice.


Yes only 11 left. I have given away four or five.

Dang, Alan!  I keep you in flies and if I remember I've given you a rod 
or two.  If they were the
ones you lost, let me know and I'll send you to exact replacements. 
Let's see, what I have minus
the two you lost, minus the two replacements will drop my inventory from 
75 to71 fly rods. ;-)  I can

live with that.

ROTFLMBFAO !!

Re: [VFB] Fishing

[Alan Di Somma]

WOW Jimmy! That sure is a lot of rods.
It was not the rod you gave me. 
I was going to use it next trip.
I have been trying out rods that I haven't used in a while.

Worst part is that I never got a chances to fish with it.

I actually have a rather large treble hook with lead on it from a swap some 
time ago.
At least it will get some action, trying to retrieve my wayward rod.

Thank you,

Alan Di Somma

Re: [VFB] Fishing

Tony, once years ago, when my Dad was a big catfishmerman, he hooked 
onto something just below the dam.  Pulled
it up and it was a beautiful red Ambassador 5000 reel and True Temper 
casting rod. He used that thing for another 10-
20 years. I inherited it and still have it.  It works, but after all the 
reeling is a little wobbly.  Right now, I have it hanging
on my wall. Still beautiful, but to sentimental to use a 60 year old 
Ambassador any longer.

Re: [VFB] Fishing

[Anthony Spezio]

Jimmy,
Right here in the White river over the years I have found several spinning rods 
with reels a load of lures an Ocean City Fly Reel that had been in the river 
for years by the look of it. I also found a wood plug with glass eyes on a 
stump. It is in real bad shape. One morning I was up at Tucker Shoals fishing 
and saw something shiny in the water. It was a ladies wrist watch. I still have 
it hanging up over my window in my room downstairs.

couple of hours the fish stopped biting and we moved back to the first spot. 
You guessed it, one of the fisherman on the boat hooked into something. It was 
the rod that was dropped overboard. That is one in a lifetime chance.

I sure would like to get that rod back.
It casts very nice.


Yes only 11 left. I have given away four or five.

 Got to go fishing with my son and his wife on Wed.
 Big thunder storm was lurking so I took my time getting ready before carrying

 After finally getting out I stared paddling my pontoon boat about 10 or 15 
 yards out, I looked down and both fly rods were gone. I looked back towards 
 shore and saw one sticking straight up. Went back and got it but was really 
 BUMMED. The one I lost was a Cortland Black
 Diamond 9ft. 5wt. And a Scientific Anglers reel.
 
 After getting my mind cleared I managed to get 4 small mouthed bass on a

 Tried getting down with a sink tip and a wooly worm, but no luck.
 Stuck with what was working and got two on two casts.

Re: [VFB] Fishing

[Chuck Alexander]

I did that too.  Bout 40 years ago, but I DID get my beloved Zebco 202 back 
LOL..What I used was some of the old fashioned wire clothes hangers and 
clipped them, bent them so that when it was done, there was a loop (too hook 
the heavy cord) and 4-6 grappling hooks to catch the rod and reel with. 
You can also tie egg lead weights to the bottom where the hooks curve, so 
that you know they drag the bottom. Chuck

Re: [VFB] Fishing

[Chuck Alexander]

Alan: The clips will probably be best, as you can accidently break rod tips 
with heavy bungee cords. But my wife found some lighter weight bungee cords 
somewhere and we loop all the rods together with those, them clamp the 
whole bunch of rods to the boat after that. I never have liked breaking down 
my rods and reels (except for my beloved bamboo rod) down each trip, cause 
when I hit the water, I wanna FISH, not assemble rods and reels  LOL, Chuck

  Dang, Alan!  I keep you in flies and if I remember I've given you a rod or 
two.  If they were the
  ones you lost, let me know and I'll send you to exact replacements.  Let's 
see, what I have minus
  the two you lost, minus the two replacements will drop my inventory from 75 
to71 fly rods. ;-)  I can
  live with that.

  ROTFLMBFAO !!

Got to go fishing with my son and his wife on Wed.
Big thunder storm was lurking so I took my time getting ready before carrying a 
lightning rod out on the water.
After finally getting out I stared paddling my pontoon boat about 10 or 15 
yards out, I looked down and both fly rods were gone. I looked back towards 
shore and saw one sticking straight up. Went back and got it but was really 
BUMMED. The one I lost was a Cortland Black
Diamond 9ft. 5wt. And a Scientific Anglers reel.

After getting my mind cleared I managed to get 4 small mouthed bass on a 
mosquito.

Tried getting down with a sink tip and a wooly worm, but no luck.
Stuck with what was working and got two on two casts.

The water was like glass after the storm blew over.

I've got to find a way to secure fly rods so I don't loose any more. Down to 11 
now.

Thank you,

Re: [VFB] Fishing

[Chuck Alexander]

When we are out fishing, we find $8-10 bass lures all in the bushes and over 
hanging trees, and I (if it's not too snaky looking, or infested with hornets) 
ease up there, pluck em out of the bushes, and my wife sells them out of her 
Boiled Peanut wagon, and I take that money to buy necessities, like root beer 
and hot pink chenille LOL... Haven't even gotten out on the boat this year TO 
find any :(:(:( 
Amazing to me that we have all these bass tournaments and those ritzy bass 
fishermen are like rich golfers who slice their balls (OH That hurt just to 
type it ROFL) but anyway, they thing nothing of cutting the line and tying on 
another high dollar bass lure. My Uncle used to work at Ft. McClellan near here 
and after work we'd walk the golf courses (this was in the early 70's) and we'd 
find brand new balls like Titlist (which was HUGE back then) Huge as in 
EXPENSIVE. Anyway, we'd clean em up and sell them for 2/$1 or 3/$1 and I'd make 
more doing that than I did at my job stocking groceries for Winn Dixie grocery 
stores at the time. I bet if there was a way to drag up all the lead that just 
my family lost right below the dam, cat fishing when we were kids, we could get 
rich off the lead as scrap Chuck

Jimmy,
Right here in the White river over the years I have found several 
spinning rods with reels a load of lures an Ocean City Fly Reel that had been 
in the river for years by the look of it. I also found a wood plug with glass 
eyes on a stump. It is in real bad shape. One morning I was up at Tucker Shoals 
fishing and saw something shiny in the water. It was a ladies wrist watch. I 
still have it hanging up over my window in my room downstairs.

  Tony, once years ago, when my Dad was a big catfishmerman, he hooked 
onto something just below the dam.  Pulled
  it up and it was a beautiful red Ambassador 5000 reel and True Temper 
casting rod. He used that thing for another 10-
  20 years. I inherited it and still have it.  It works, but after all 
the reeling is a little wobbly.  Right now, I have it hanging
  on my wall. Still beautiful, but to sentimental to use a 60 year old 
Ambassador any longer.

Re: [VFB] Fishing

[Joyce Westphal]

I second the drag a hook suggestion.  As a child, I and my sisters would
look for fishermen who got mad and threw their rods and reels into the
lake.  Often there was a bobber attached. We'd wait until they were gone,
and then, without my mother's knowledge (none of us could swim) would throw
a rock out near the bobber and Shep, the faithful dog, would run out to
where the splash was, grab the bobber, and drag the line to shore. By
careful pulling we could get the rod and reel close enough that we could
wade out and get the pole. Of course, there was always the danger that the
dog would get hooked, but we were lucky and he didn't. We quickly learned
that a garden rake was the ideal gadget to fish for the rod and bring it
up.  You may want to go back with a long handled garden rake and see if you
can't retrieve your lost rod.  Just a suggestion. Joyce

Of course..we just were careful to dry off when we got wet so mother didn't
know. I asked her once, when I was older, and she said that she knew and
did a lot of praying for us, constant warnings, but knew we would play by
the lake (in our back yard about 10 rods from the  house).  I had the ideal
childhood, a horse to ride and a lake to fish as soon as I got my chores

Re: [VFB] Fishing

Joyce:

I believe that the water was around 8 or 8 1/2’ deep right where they fell 
in.

several years ago I was in a fantasy swap and one of the tiers had a huge 

treble hook with feathers and called it a snagger. It is that big.
I guess it would be a 3/0 or 4/0.

I second the drag a hook suggestion.  As a child, I and my sisters would 
look for fishermen who got mad and threw their rods and reels into the 
lake.  Often there was a bobber attached. We'd wait until they were gone, 

and then, without my mother's knowledge (none of us could swim) would 
throw a rock out near the bobber and Shep, the faithful dog, would run out 
to where the splash was, grab the bobber, and drag the line to shore. By 
careful pulling we could get the rod and reel close enough that we could 
wade out and get the pole. Of course, there was always the danger that the 
dog would get hooked, but we were lucky and he didn't. We quickly learned

This is a true story.
Some years ago when I was going out on Charter 
Party boats for Salt Water fishing we had a guy drop his rod and reel in 
the ocean. We stopped catching fish at that spot so the captain of the 
boat moved to another spot. After a couple of hours the fish stopped 
biting and we moved back to the first spot. You guessed it, one of the 
fisherman on the boat hooked into something. It was the rod that was 
dropped overboard. That is one in a lifetime chance.

Drill a hole in the end of the garden rake handle so that you can tie a
length of rope to it, then go back and use it as a grapling hook..try it
and see if you like it.  You may have to weight the rake a bit by tying on
a piece of rebar.  Good luck.  I'd not give up for sure. Joyce

I have just returned from a week long fishing trip to a lake that I have never 
fished before. It is a good sized and attractive lake with gin clear water.  It 
is known as a very technical lake. The fishing was not as hot as I was 
hoping and one had to work hard to catch fish. The first night there was cold 
and I believe there was a frost. The cool weather has delayed hatches of 
mayflies although there were plenty of chironomid hatching. The lake had turned 
over following ice out but the fishing was not as good as anticipated.  The 
best fish for me was a 17 incher  - smallish but it fought hard for its size. 
We found that mayfly nymphs were more effective than the usual chironomids, 
however there were few mayflies hatching. The lake is very deep and I tried out 
a deep line - something I have not tried before. To do this one needs to attach 
a 2 ounce lead eight to the fly and then lower the fast sinking line over the 
side of the boat until it
 reaches bottom (approx 40 feet or so).  One then places a marker on the line 
and reels in to remove the weight and recast so that the fly ( normally a 
chironomid) is 18 to 24 inches above the bottom, and then place the rod in a 
rod rest and wait.  I had two hits which were both sudden and violent that 
pulled the tip of the rod under water. I made contact with the second hit which 
felt heavy but the hook came out after a few seconds. That one had taken a 
bloodworm imitation.  I suspect that as the weather becomes warmer, the hatches 
and fishing will improve.  Sometimes this occurs in early May and sometimes 
later May. I guessed wrong this year!

Re: [VFB] Fishing report

[Neville Gosling]

I was fishing two rods but only one fly per rod. We are allowed to do that in 
BC if alone in a boat, but we cannot have more than one fly per rod. I fished a 
floating line with a 23 foot 6 pound fluorocarbon leader on the main rod and 
the sinking line for just part of the trip as stated below. I caught all my 
fish on the floating line rod, but I would have liked to have landed that last 
fish that hit the deep fished chironomid.  I suspect that it would have proved 
to be the best fish of the trip, but that's the way it goes.  My boat is not 
really set up for this kind of deep water fishing. Many rods have been lost as 
they are pulled overboard if not secured or grabbed quickly.

Re: [VFB] Fishing report

[Neville Gosling]

I was using a Canadian made (grin) Scotty rod holder, but I also use Scotty 
anchor pulleys. I used the anchor pulley mount for the rod holder, but it was 
not conveniently located and too far away from the middle seat, hence, I always 
got there a bit too late. I need to set up a couple of better positioned mounts 
as rod holders rather than anchor pulleys.

 Almost had that happen to me recently at Lewiston Lake in northern 
 California.  I had made a third cast with a deepwater damsel nymph pattern, 
 and put the rod down to reel in an indicator setup on another rod.  
 
 Suddenly the damsel rod went shooting across the casting deck of the boat and 
 banged into the gunwale.  I dove for the rod, taking some skin off my knee 
 and ending up on my rear end on the bottom of the boat.  Grabbed the rod 
 handle as it was going over the edge.  Got the fish in *grin*.
 
 I wish every fishing boat had a Scotty fly rod holder on it.  They are the 
 most secure way to set a rod down without losing your whole setup to a big 
 fish.
 
 I own a couple of them, one with a special strap that wraps around a float 
 tube.

Re: [VFB] Fishing Report

I use my fins.  The knee really does work great, 4 months seemed to be  
the magic number.  All pain is gone, the only task left to have a  
normal knee is building  up muscle strength:  my left calf (it was my  
left knee) is has atrophied a bit.  Kicking around in my pontoon boat  
is the perfect exercise!

I have a friend who is a retired biologist but now works full time
for a company that does research for the US Forest Service.  He was
doing some water studies on six streams  that originate in the north-
east slope at the edge of  the High Uintas Wilderness area in Utah,
and invited me to come along for company.   The plan was to park the
truck at a lake called Hoop Lake and then he'd take a 4-wheeler to
the rivers while I baby sat the truck and fished the lake.  That
sounded like a good plan to me!  We left at 7:30  AM and arrived about
three hours later.  I pumped up a kick boat and geared up and he took
off to do his job.

The first couple of hours was slow fishing, not what I had hoped from
hungry high elevation trout getting ready for winter. I had three or
four misses, and hooked two, losing one.  So I took a break for lunch,
sat out a short rain storm (it was cloudy and threatening all day, but
no lighting, and not much precip either)  Things picked up in the
afternoon when I got them figured out.  (I quit counting after 10
fish).  I was fishing with a black bugger and a Damsel fly, and the
best luck came when the wind stopped, the surface calmed, and fish
started rising. If I could get a cast off within six feet of the rise,
I usually had a hook up.  I also tried switching to dry flies with
little success, so fished with the wet flies for most of the day.
Most fish were fat rainbows in the 12 to 14 inch range, with beautiful
colors and feisty dispositions.  The largest was 17 inches.  (I also
caught a smattering of smaller, silvery Bonneville  Cutthroat that
looked like they might be wild).

My friend came back at 6:30 and announced that he still had two rivers
to do, and that he wanted to drive the truck to them since both of
them called for measurements taken where a forest road crossed the
river.  I hauled my gear in (the truth was I was getting tired and had
caught plenty of fish); we got everything stowed, got in the cab, and
the engine wouldn't start. The battery had died.

I had seen exactly two trucks drive near the lake during my entire day
of fishing, and there were none in sight to give us a jump.  So we
decided to try and get a charge off of the 4 wheeler, which had a tiny
12 volt battery.  It took about 30 minutes, but revved up the 4-
wheeler, eventually enough juice was pumped into the battery by its
small alternator to do the job.  So now we had the engine running (we
never turned it off the rest of the trip), but we were running out of
daylight.

We ended up doing the last creek by iPhone light, the only
flashlight we had, and finally made it home around midnight.

The best part is that I did all of this just four months out of my
knee replacement surgery, and the knee worked great, really no
problems at all.  All in all, a great trip, a this is what retirement
is all about adventure.

Good on ya, Tom.  I've not heard of many knee replacements that could 
handle that much fun that soon.
Congrats on a fine day of fishing and thanks for the report.  Made me 
feel a lot better about life to know there is still

fishing going on and some precip happening.
I'm told we have rain lurking just to the west of us tonite.  Hoping it 
meanders on over here and camps out on us.

We are in Eagle nest now and the lake is open for fishing and camping, but all 
Federal Lands and State Parks are still closed due very dry conditions and a 
very high fire danger. Red River is closed, Cimerron River through the State 
Park is closed. I have seen some nice trout coming out of the lake, heard of a 
few salmon. From shore and boat.

Re: [VFB] fishing

[Chuck]

Jerry,
You are going into some of the most beautiful country. We spent 2 months in 
that area last year and will again this year June  July. Eagle Nest Lake the 
trout were all in the deep water, locals say shore fishing early or late. We 
camped on the Cimerron River and I fished it some. Native brown and stocked 
rainbow. Two small (small) streams feed into it with small natives that are a 
challenge. On the Cimmerron, Bead head hare's and Bead head  prince nymphs were 
good. Elk hair caddis (blonde). Cimmeron special (#16 scud, white bead head, 
copper wrap with Hare's ice dubbing hare's ear thorax), chirond cone (#18 scud, 
white bead head, black wire body peacock thorax), small black midges. The fly 
shop in Eagle Nest, NM is on the south side of the high way, I do not remember 
the name, but they have a nice shop, friendly and help full. Eagle Nest is a 
small town but the hambuger and pie at the cafe down the street are very good. 
There are several other good streams and lakes around that I never got to. 
enjoy New Mexico. If our plans change and we will be in the area I will contact 
you, we plan to be in Duck Creek, Utah in August and or Yellowstone.

enjoy, this helps

RE: [VFB] fishing

[Webb, Gary]

There are already many legal ramifications when you try to take water out of 
any of the Great Lakes.  Just one local example:
The city of Waukesha, WI is located only 15 miles from Lake Michigan.  The 
drinking water from their wells contains high levels of radon.
They are not permitted to get water from Lake Michigan because their drainage 
basin does not return water to the lake.  It goes down the Fox
River to the Mississippi River.  They have been trying to get an exemption for 
a good while. I don't think they have gotten one so far.

Then  there is a little item called the Great Lakes  Water Compact.  Eight 
States and two or three Canadian Provinces that border the Lakes.   I believe 
the main reason for their existence is to prevent water from the Great Lakes 
being used anywhere else.   I'm not saying myself that I agree with that 
philosophy.  But I'm pretty sure that western states residents would consider 
any suggestion to take water from their rivers or reservoirs to ship somewhere 
else to be fighting words.  Just an aside.  For several years the water levels 
in the Great Lakes have been below the normal averages. Some Lakes were one to 
two feet low.  It doesn't sound like much compared to 130 feet. But with lakes 
the size of Superior and Michigan it probably equals or surpasses the loss in 
Lake Mead.  Only in the last two have they returned to normal.   Of course any 
final decision on water usage from the Great Lakes will have to be a Federal 
one with the usual years of Congressional debates before anything happens.  I 
just wanted to point out that it isn't just an engineering problem that will 
have to be resolved to get water from an area with an abundance to those 
areas with shortages.

Hi Chuck;

At first look, this sounds reasonable but, I can't begin to imagine the cost.  
That plus the amount of energy to transport fuel through a pipeline is 
relatively small in relationship to the amount of energy in the fuel.  I can't 
imagine the same applies for water.  you would probably use more energy to 
transpot the water to hydroelectric dams then you could generate.  So the 
energy to do this would probably make it cost prohibitive let alone the cost to 
build all the pipelines required.

Good Idea if it will work.

Tony: (Everybody) I watch a TV show called Inspector America and this guy was 
a former bridge inspector etc and he goes all over the country, inspecting the 
countries infrastructure, including the water situations like floods, draughts 
etc. And last week's program talked about this very thing. They built the 
Hoover dam in 1931 I think it was, and created Lake Mead, which gives most of 
the South West, including Los Angeles, Las Vegas etc, it's water supply for 90% 
of their water. Yet, since 1999 (partly because of population explosions in the 
area, and partly cause of draughts) the water level in Lake Mead had DROPPED 
get this 130 FEET. And it's still dropping. And he had this  water dept big wig 
woman talking about the problem and they were talking about how we have well 
over 600 MILES of the Alaskan oil pipeline, and THOUSANDS of miles of Natural 
gas lines running from Texas all over the US. So, they were saying why don't 
we built water lines, to take water from where there is too much (like where 
you are, and all through the mid west) and pipe it over and into Lake Mead etc, 
to where there is a shortage of water?? Makes sense to me. Ppl say well, that 
cost too much. But look at what the cost to this country will be when probably 
20-50 MILLION ppl who rely on water (and electrical power cause of the huge 
turbines that run there) from Lake Mead and other lakes in that part of the 
country, are suddenly out of water, and they all move back east. What a mess 
we'd have on our hands, and we'd better fix the problem while we can, and I 
think the idea of diverting water from flooded area, to those in draught 
areas makes perfect sense. Then, later, if Lake mead ever flooded, and the 
Midwest was in a draught, the water could just be reversed. Chuck
