[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The quote below can be applied to the VFB. The VFB exists because of Byard Miller. It's his private water, not ours. More than once, in talking with Byard, he has expressed frustration toward certain postings on the list. At one point when we were going through a similar discussion on the list, he said, Maybe it's time that I disbanded the VFB. I begged him not to and here we are again, bickering about petty stuff. For you old timers, it's nothing new. We go through this self-cleansing about once every year or so. I just hope we can live through this one without Byard having to put his foot down. So, let's quit our bickering and get back to the simple things that this list is designed for, the things that have kept our list alive all these years. I have learned not to go crazy if I hike for a while only to find someone on my private water. Steven J. Meyers San Juan River Chronicle [1994] º ** JIMMY D.

Few fly-fishing experiences are as thrilling as seeing, stalking, and then hooking the quarry. It's undoubtedly the appeal of dry-fly fishing in streams.

Time frame for flies to me would be February 1, with the usual toe tags, (little tags with name of fly and your name and email address), and return postage packaging or pre-stamped return package. You may also pass along the pattern and materials list. HOW MANY FLIES TO TIE ?? At this point, with 25 in the swap, you would tie 24 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. One last thing I request is for you to let me know the name of your Old Fart Fly.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The truth is that live-bait fishing has a long and noble history. Live bait was totally unknown to the early caveman, who had to make do with a rather limited assortment of dry flies, nymphs, and a few streamers. One day, whether out of exasperation or simple impatience, a caveman made a backcast with a gray hackle he had not bothered to remove from a sage hen. Instantly, it was taken by a brontosaurus. The caveman was elated by his discovery, even though it was several centuries before anyone learned how to take the brontosaurus off the hook.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
May is when the bluegills on Alabama's Pickwick Lake really turn on. It's an outstanding time to catch 20 to 30 sunfish for the table in a couple hours of fishing in the early morning or late evening. Typically, we catch filleting-sized bream - bluegills weighing between 1/2 to 3/4 pound - with redear weighing up to 14 ounces. These big fish produce a huge filet. The latter species is the redear sunfish, more commonly known as the shellcracker. 100 fish days are common. Donny Lowrie Fisheries Scientist, Tennessee Valley Authority * The above lake is where I learned to fly fish. Dad bought me one of those boxed $10 Japanese made bamboo fly rods and there began my love affair with fly fishing. I distinctly remember driving through the Mayfly hatches on the way to Pickwick. They were so thick that we'd have to stop several times to clean them off. But all that was forgotton when we got on the water with Mayflies dropping all around us with the bluegills going ' pop, pop, pop' as they sucked the flies under. The first time we went we caught 116 bluegills - bream. I'll never forget the number, for I was the one saddled with the job of cleaning them! Trout fishing with flies is great, but you haven't lived until you experience a Mayfly hatch on Pickwick. Wet flies, dry flies, popping bugs, it makes no difference to the gills. º ** JIMMY D.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Successful fly fisHing for trout is an act of high deceit; not only must the angler lure one of nature's subtlest and wariest creatures, he must do so with something that is false and no good - an artificial fly. Thus fake and sham lie at the heart of the enterprise. The amount of machiavellian subtlety, guild and sly deception that ultimately becomes wrapped up in the person of an experienced trout fisherman is faintly boring to contemplate... . . to be continued tomorrow.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Fontinued from yesterday. . . . . Thus fiendishly qualified for a brilliant diplomatinc career he instead has time only to fish. So lesser diplomats continue to grope and bumble and their countries continue to fall into war. The only hope for it all, I'm afraid, is for the Lord to drive the trout fishermen into diplomacy or else drive the diplomats to trout fishing. My guess is that either way we'd be more apt to have more peace: the fishermen-turned diplomats would hurriedly resolve their differences on the trout stream so that they might return to their fishing, while the diplomats-turned-fiehermen would shortly become so absorbed in their new passion they'd never again find time for war.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Ordinarily the man accustomed to a 9-foot fly rod would reduce to one about 7 feet long and feel that he was equipped for working a small brook. This, I beg to point out, is only the palest concession to that kind of angling. If we chop 4 feet off that, however, the remaining 3 foot length will permit casting from almost any position. I use mine right or left-handed, with the tip pointing almost at the water. Because of the length and essentially greater line speed, the rod throws tight loops, which permits casting under obstacles with relative ease. There is no tendency to hook casts off the target, as you certainly must when casting with a longer rod in a purely horizontal plane. Fishing with McClane by A. J. McLane º ** JIMMY D.

[VFB] First fly I tied
My first fly was a bream popper. For my 12th birthday I got a Herter's Fly Tying Kit with all the tools, plus a bunch of feathers and an assortment of hooks. But . . . . there weren't any corks, which I needed for my bream popper. Mom had an old bottle of Castor Oil, which had a small cork in it. There was only a teaspoon left, so she poured it out and gave me the cork. ( Yes, I know, cork stoppers in medicine bottles are way before most of your times.) :-P Anyway, I tied up a neat little bream fly, painted it yellow, with black doll's eyes glued on.

A fly fisher who jerks his rod back and forth like chopping wood with a long handled axe and splays his line and fly on the water with a great splash, doesn't deserve to catch a trout.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Nymph fishermen VS dry fly fishermen Two good friends go fishing together, one a nymph fisherman and the other a dry fly fisherman, both believing strongly in catch and release. Not wanting to get in each other's way they decide that one will fish upstream and the other down, and at an appointed time, meeting back at their starting point and tell of their success. Question 1. Which was more apt to fish upstream and conversely, which was more apt to fish downstream and Why ? Question 2. Which one would come closer to telling the truth about his catch and why ? Notice that I said 'come closer' for most of us occassionally stretch the truth about our fishing success. Example: If I was skunked and asked by my Bud, How many fish did you catch, Jim? and I said, Not many That wouldn't be bald-faced lie, so there you go. But, If I'd answered 'a few' that would have been a bald-faced lie.Get the idea ? ;-) Question 3. Which one was apt to be first to the return point, and which one would be apt to be late and why ? Question 4. Which one's outfit, tackle, rod, etc. was more expensive ? Question 5. Which one would be more inclined to smoke cigars ? Hope you enjoyed this little exercise. I'm not picking on either, for I fish equally with nymphs and drys. :-P Since this is fishing related, feel free to answer ON LIST. Should be FUN ! º ** JIMMY D.

We don't normally post JOKES on the VFB, FFW, and HCFF fishing e-mail lists. If you have a joke, fishing or otherwise, send it to me. I'll be glad to post it on my Joke For The Day list, which I set up a few years ago, at Byard's request, as a place for us to exchange jokes and not clutter the VFB with them. At present there's some 50 VFB members that are in the Joke For The Day JFTD club. The FFW has around 20 members and HCFF 8. JIMMY º ** JIMMY D.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Buck and I fished a couple of miles of Sand Crick together that day, reminiscing every step of the way over our adventures as kids along the same crick. We came upon a half-submerged car, a 1937 Packard that someone had dumped into the crick under the pretext of preventing bank erosion but actually to be rid of a 1937 packard. Buck drifted his line in through the gaping hole of the front windshield and hooked a fine Eastern brook out of the back seat. First time I ever caught anything in the back seat of a 1937 Packard, he said. I've never been that lucky, I said enviously, but I came pretty close once in a 48 Hudson. Patrick F.

[VFB] Re:Starting a fly fishing club
Chuck, if you feel proficient enough, you might consider doing a program at one or more of your Civic Clubs like Rotary, etc. I did this a few years back, giving a fly tying/fishing demonstration. At the end of the meeting I had 7 Rotarians come up and ask if I would teach a fly tying class for them. I did. Upshot is that 5 of the seven are still tying flies and fly fishing. How do I know this? I'm in that Rotary Club. You could do a demo and ask any interested folks if they'd like to join a Fly Fishing club that you're forming. Seems that lots of civic club members are fly fishers. JIMMY D --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

He slept with his fly rod standing in the corner next to his bed. He didn't bother taking off his shirt and pants. His vest on the bed post and his wading boots were placed where he could swing off the bed, and like a fireman ram his feet into them. His fishing hat was by his pillow. The only thing difference was that he didn't have a pole to slide down to the stream. Jimmy D Moore Opening Day º ** JIMMY D.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Choose your fly fishing friends wisely. They can have an effect on how many and the size of the trout you catch. Fly fishers who spend a lot of time fishing together will unconciously adopt some of the other's mannerisms, choice of flies, and casting techniques over time. Surrounding yourself with great fly fishers who catch a lot of trout will help you catch more and larger trout. However, does that mean that while you as the poorer angler improve your fishing prowess, the better angler's fishing prowess deterioates from watching you? It could be that as your fishing improves and your friend's deteriorates, he reaches a point where his fishing begins to improve by watching you the better angler. If that is the case, somewhere along the line, both of you will become great anglers. On the other hand, if both of you are piss poor anglers to begin with . . . . Jimmy D.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Allowing the fly to sink to the fish's level, the angler makes a retrieve. The fly comes directly at the fish, which suddenly sees its approach. As the small fly gets nearer, the fish moves forward to strike. But the tiny fly doesn't flee at the sight of the predator. Instead it continues to come directly toward the fish. Suddenly the fish realizes infinitively that something is wrong, (its never happened before), so it flees until it can assess the situation. An opportunity for the angler has been lost.

[VFB] JFTD Extra
Since I've been out of commission for the last week, here's something a little extra for you as I start the JOKES again. Believe me, the last week has been a tough one. On top of the hayfever/bronchitis, the steriod shot they gave me, to hasten things along, day before yesterday played hell, giving me a racing heart ahd high, BP, plus I couldn't sleep night before last after the shot. Finally, yesterday afternoon the steriods wore off and my BP and pulse became normal 125/70/68. Not bad for a 71 year old. Jody reminded me that she had the same deal following a steriod shot a few years back, racing heart, high BP. So, here's a reminder, some of us are allergic to steriods. Before I forget, my doc prescribed 100 500 mg Amoxycillin caps for me. I'm to take 3 per day for a month !!! Have A Goodun ! A guy walked into the local Welfare Office to pick up his check He marched straight up to the counter and said, ' Hi. You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job.' The social worker behind the counter said, ' Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a Chauffeur and Bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You'll have to drive around in his 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. This is rather awkward to say but you will also have as part of your job assignment to satisfy her sexual urges as the daughter is in her mid-20's and has a rather strong sex drive. A two-bedroom loft type apartment with plasma TV, stereo, bar, etc. located above the garage, will be designated for your sole use and the salary is $200,000 a year.' The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, ' You're bull-sh!ttin me!'

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The game of [nods] is played by tying a reasonable facsimile of the insect being taken by a trout. Then many variations of this basic pattern are tied with only slight differences in each of them. These are in turn cast to a visible feeding trout, and its reaction is noted very carefully . . . Each fly is cast as long as it receives a nod from the trout. When it no longer excites any nods it is discarded for a new variation. Vincent Marinaro In the Ring of the Rise [1976] º ** JIMMY D.

The true sportsman needs neither game laws nor bag limits, nor does the securing of a license make a sportsman.

Many of our best days are those in which a large catch was not made. Uncle Lloyd Taylor º ** JIMMY D.

I hear what you're talking about, said the wife. But you will make no impression on Humphrey. As long as the fish rise to his bait, everybody is what he ought to be. Bless you, Casuabon has got a trout stream, and does not care about fishing it himself: Could there be a better fellow?'

[VFB] Re: QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Gary, you're making me turn green with envy. We have only one bonafide trout stream in Texas, and that's the Guadalupe near New Braunfels. It's a tail race fed by bottom draw dam flowing 50 degree water to the river. As long as the flow is around 200cfs, even in the summer, the trout live and do well for 10-12 miles downstream. Record rainbow - 8 1/2 pounds. Must be nice to have a bunch of great trout streams near like you do. JIMMY D glw...@gundluth.org wrote: Indeed a very good quality.

It takes a while to get used to a parabolic rod, but they'll throw more line than regular rods. A parabolic will definitely make you a better caster, for it will slow your casting stroke down.
