[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Energizer Bunny has been arrested and charged with battery. - Original Message - From: Jimmy D. Moore To: Virtual Fly Box ; Fly Fishing World ; Hill Coountry Fly Fishers Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 7:22 AM Subject: [VFB] Chunking & Winding vs Fly Fishing - Food for thought I wrote this and sent it to the lists in 2002. Just came across it in my VFB file and thought it might be good to revisit it. JIMMY D Too me, the generalization that fly fishers are looked upon as a tweedy, pipe smoking, creel carrying and snobbish angler is completely off base. Many of us fly fishers perceive this to be the way we are viewed by others who prefer to catch their quary by a different means. Sure, some of the bearded "chunking & winding" good ole boy bass hunters in their $30,000 bass boats feel that way about us, but I don't think the average C&W guy is all that different from fly fishers. I have many friends who are among that fishing fraternity, and have found them more "curious" about my fly fishing and how I do it, than looking down their nose at me. Maybe it's because I still own my big bass boat, have a beard, drink a few beers and still chunk and wind on occasion. I've converted more than one "good ole boy" bass fisherman to fly fishing. All it takes is a good size bass on a 4 wt. or a bull bluegill an a 2 wt. Their next question is, "When are you going to take me trout fishing?" Each September I take five close friends, and my three sons, to New Mexico for a week-long trout expedition. Six of them still do a lot of C&W, but the highlight of their fishing year is the NM trip for browns, bows and cutts using little "flea rods" that I built for them. You recon that we fly fishers have been looking down collective noses at the C&W guy.Kind of like the Pheasant hunter looking down his nose at the Coon hunter. ;~)) Two completely different types of hunting, but hunting just the same.

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.

Subject: OLD FART Update 10/28 # 1
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.
Tight Lines and Smooth Whip Finishes to all.

[VFB] Re: Your first fly you tied
I guess I was about 10 years old when I saw some flys in a display case at my local sporting goods store in Union City, N.J. So I went home and got some pigeon feathers and some of my mom's blue and red threads and proceeded to make my very first fly. I still have that fly today and I always wanted to be a fly fisherman. My friends and I always used spinning gear and it wasn't until I moved to Phoenix, AZ. and joined a flyfishing club. A San Carlos Apache Indian taught me how to tie. phxflyt...@cox.net A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother. - Original Message - From: John C.

[VFB] Re: TEST
Some how my "Main Identity" was being used for my "User Name" phxflytyer.
When I started "Outlook Express" it used my phxflytyer name to open it up.
I went in and made a new "phxflytyer" user name.
Now I actually have four identitys.
I use phxflytyer for this list, and my Alan Di Somma for all my family business.
I also have another name I use for business stuff.
I do not use the Main Identity for anything.
Does that make sense?

Don O:
I have been very busy at work.
The economy is so bad that my sales fell from $5.4Million to $4.3 Million and I
had to work even harder to get to that number last year.
I have seen a big improvement in the economy this past two months over last
year at this time.
It appears as though people are starting to open up their wallets and start
spending again. That makes the apartment industry, spend more.
We have been seeing the people losing their houses because of forclosures
renting the 'higher end' or"A+"apartments.
The unfortunate people that are being forced to move out of rental homes after
they paid the rent for the month, because to owner let the house go into
forclouser, are moving into the "B" class apartments.
The people losing their jobs are either moving into "C" apartments or moving in
with family.
All this moving is actually creating more sales for me and a trickle down
effect into other businesses.
As far as fishing is concernedZippo-Zilch-Nada.
Now I have to learn how to tie all over again.
I am looking forward to your DVD.
At least I have serveral months before the Alaska trip in Sept.

Tony:
I found my old hat pin from the SowBug and it was 2004.
Me and my wife had a great time there and want to make it back again very soon.
I had my Rotator Cuff operated on in Dec and have gone thru therapy.
I am starting a strengthening program at home now so I should be good.
I follow all the posts and am glad that I can take some time and answer some of
them now.
I have a trip of a life time planned for Alaska in Sept.
I have gotten out a bunch of recepie books and will start with the simple ones
till I feel comfortable for Salmon flys.
One of the books has Don Ordes mouse in it. Don't think I will be trying that
one.
It is one that my fishing buddy Gordon Mankins brought back from the FFF
Conclave of 1995.
It is called "Patterns of the Masters" and he surely belongs in there.

Green Butt and Red Butt Skunks. Works for salmon and steelies as well as bows.
Recommend you go to the VFB web and check out streamer patterns. Also check
out Fly Angelers Online and Charley Cravens sites for patterns and Step by
Steps. Streamers.com also has lots of flys for Alaska. In fact go there first
but I like FTF and FAOL as well as FlyRecipesdotcom

Alan,
If you go to the 'format' selection at the top of the email generation page
(not the main page- this one), click on it and make sure the 'Rich Text(HTML)'
is checked. This brings up a tool bar right above this text typing area that
allows different fonts, bold, italics, etc. Way over to the right is a little
icon with a mountain and the sun in it. This is the photo insert icon. Make
sure your typing pointer is at the space you want to insert the picture and
that you know where your photo is in your files. When you click the little
icon it will ask you for the photo name or you can hit browse, find it, select
it, and open it into the email body. It may be quite large, so use the drag
grips to resize the photo to suit the paragraph width.

Thanks for clearing that up for me Mike.
I should have said that before offering to send him some.
But I will still send him some if he wants it.

Neville - Kreinik is a craft thread that is available in most craft stores
and many sewing shops. Lots of metallic threads. Some pretty neat stuff.

[VFB] Re: Catskill Dry fly update
Thanks Nick. I haven't tied since the SowBug in 2004 so I am a little rusty to say the least. I have only tied about 15 dozen flies the past month trying to get some flies tied for my trip to Alaska in Sept. I have been getting better and faster and they are looking better the more I tie. The biggest problem is getting the proportions correct. Peggy's swap is for Catskill Dry Flies. That is a whole nother ball game. Tiny upright wings and heavy hackle really gets you to be exact. I watched a video of Mary Dettes tying and she does not use a bobbin or whip finisher. I plan on using both and a very strong magnifying glass to even see that tiny a hook. I actually have some 28's but I would never think of tying a dry fly on a hook that small. At least not for a couple of more years of tying.

I have been to Mary's shop three times and am proud to own a dozen of
her flies she tied for me in trade for a dozen Chili Peppers.. We also tied at

was filled in less than 24 hrs... and most of the guys went out to buy hooks to
even be able to participate. (A few of them didn't even know where to find such
small hooks when signing up.).Only one of them chose to tie on a #20, as

Thanks Nick.
I haven't tied since the SowBug in 2004 so I am a little
rusty to say the least.
I have only tied about 15 dozen flies the past month trying
to get some flies tied for my trip to Alaska in Sept.
I have been getting better and faster and they are looking
better the more I tie.
The biggest problem is getting the proportions correct.
Peggy's swap is for Catskill Dry Flies. That is a whole
nother ball game.
Tiny upright wings and heavy hackle really gets you to be
exact.
I watched a video of Mary Dettes tying and she does not use a
bobbin or whip finisher.
I plan on using both and a very strong magnifying glass to
even see that tiny a hook.
I actually have some 28's but I would never think of tying a
dry fly on a hook that small.
At least not for a couple of more years of tying.
Thanks for the encouraging words, and yes I will do my best
no matter what kind or size of swap I am in.

Alan, If these are the old "Thompson Ice" they were made by Anvil. The new ones are not. I was told this by the Anvil people at the SLC show when I bought the special pair of Anvil. My Old Thompson were good for 13 years cutting a lot of deer hair. The new pair of Thompson's did not last anytime at all. The Old Thompson's have red finger holes, the Anvil have blue finger holes.

[VFB] Re: tools now Packing Hair.
Years ago, when I first got into fly tying a lot of the guys in the club gave me some ideas. One of them was to take the shaft of an old aluminum arrow that was bent and cut a 6" length and debur the ends. This way you have a lot of surface area to hold in your hand and still have a big enough hole to really pack the hair tight against the last bunch of hair. Now that I have a wood lathe, I can turn one out in just a few minutes, out of exotic wood scraps. Thank you, Alan Di Somma Phoenix, It's Arpaiolicious!"

Will send finger nail clippings next time I trim them. LOL Here is how I do it. After spinning the hair, take a couple of thread wraps in front of the spun hair. Put thumb and first finger, finger nails up against the hair with the hook shank between the nails. Now work your hand in a back and forth twisting motion while pushing the hair back against the last bunch. The wraps in front of the hair when pushed back in that motion will hold the hair in place. When you think you have all the hair you can get in the shank, work it back some more and you will find you can almost always get another bunch on. Another thing, I try to use the thinnest thread I can get by with. Most times it is 3/0. Hope this is clearer than mud.

After doing a little trimming, it is only about 3/4" in diameter.

Misako and i had a terriffic day today on the White..we started at the dam at 8 a.m. and killed 'em.we were with Chad (from Mt. River fly shop), and hois wife and Bill Thorn the local TU Chapter President. Chad and Bill were catchin' fish on every or every other cast. Misa and i did well too, and Chad's wife got a fair number as well. She did also however, fall in, twice. Then we all went to our house for lunch, Then we moved over to Cotter and Misa and Tiffinay had a casting lesson while we fished a few more hours. If any of us had caught a Brookie, we'da had a grand slam, because we had all, already caught Bows, Browns and Cutts. My total for the day was approximately a couple dozen Bows, two Browns and bout a half dozen Cutts. Chad and Bill both lost count before we ever had lunch. Misa had maybe 20 or so Bows. Numbers matter not to me, but it was such a successful day..the White is stupid good when the water if off. The fish are just stacked up like cord wood. i easily lost 50 fish today for whatever reason or the other. BIG FUN! Some we're virtually at hand but popped off at the last minute. I try my best not to touch any fish if i can get the hook out without doin' so. It was a day none of us will ever forget. When they came over for lunch, they were litterally speechless when i took 'em downstairs for the tour, lmao. Misa's luch was REDICKALUS!..Chicken Breast, Smoked Ham, Salmon, Spinich, Radishes, Cucumber, Tomatoe, Italian Bread, Avacado, Cellery sticks, Potatoe salad, Onion, Olives, OJ, Beer, and bottled water.OH YEAH!

Yes it's fun 3M company makes several spray adhesives that are really good for foam. I used M Super 77 Spray Adhesive. I don't really know what the minimum time is. I followed the directions. I put the foam in a big cardboard box (to catch the overspray). If memory serves me right (happens less frequently these days), I sprayed each piece separately and let them get tacky (3-5 minutes?). Then I put them together carefully. I layed them on a very flat surface and put a book on them overnight. Worked fine. I even did three layers for the Chernobyl ants.

I will try, but just seems like too much work, when there are other ways of doing the same thing. At least that is my take on it. On his tying supplies wall, there are 24 colors of the new Mega Simi Seal. I'm sure John will send them to you if you order them. He can blend any color you want. He has done that for me.

He really is a great asset to fly fishing. A couple of years ago at one of the Outdoor/Boat/Hunting/Fishing Expo's Charles Meck was there and I bought one of his books. He and John Rohmer wrote the book. I later had John sign the book for me. It seems as though Charles is a "Snow Bird" and comes to Arizona to fish.
