[VFB] Re: Tony.....
W/ all the talk about packed hair I decided to check see what I had already tied. I'm backed up as it is didn't have time to tie something new. So I opened one of my bass boxes pulled out a couple. Tried to take pics front, side, top bottom, experimented w/ light put them up on my page of Mark's Ning site; http://pureartflytying.ning.com/profile/JBalmer Please note: these have all been fished have been crammed in a box for more than a year. The sizes are as follows eventually I'll put this up as well: minis - the white / blue white / orange are probably on a size 12 hook, the other two are smaller hooks; the mouse 1 mouse two are probably size 6 the small mouse sm lies are size 8 long.

[VFB] Re: Small saltwater stainless hooks
Don O I wasn't thinking when I said stainless steel because many of the saltwater hooks are tinned or nickel plated which are possibly even better. I have discovered to my amazement that I do indeed have some size Mustad 10 C71S SS hooks, left over from a past fly swap, so I am going to give them a try. The trouble with me is that I have a lightning fast response to a tug on my line, when all I want to do is let the fish turn with the fly and hook itself. I find it hard to slow down and as a result my hookset tends to be, shall we say, a bit on the strong side. Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B. C. Canada Subject: [VFB] Re: Small saltwater stainless hooks Nev, Locating small #10 and ss fly hooks is pretty hard. You can usually find a box of 100 #10 ring-eye in a bait shop, not in a fly shop. You may have to bend the kirb, but that's not hard. Also look into circle or semi-circle hooks if you will have any long or slack line fishing. If you are tying simple patterns, tho, it may be better to go ahead and tie disposable or re-tyable flies on regular bronze hooks. Current thinking is that it's kinder to the fish to have an easy-to-dissolve hook in their mouths if they break off. A stainless hook takes forever to corrode, and the fish will usually weaken during that time and get picked off by a predator. Mustad, EC, and other hook-makers are making heavy bronzed 3XX wire hooks for saltwater use, as a #10 std. stainless will bend or break off in a big fish. These heavy wire hooks also supply the weight needed to get the fly down. DonO --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Here's the urlgo to http://bobanddavesauctions.com The site will basically work exactly the same as ebay.and they are takin' very nominal fees for their servicesi've already tested the site and it's working pretty good.

The site will auction and or But It Now ONLY fly fishing tackle, artwork, books, flies, and etc., etc., etc...tyin' lessons, trips maybe.i'm not sure. Go there and find out what's goin' on for yourself. I've been workin' with Bob and Dave for the last 3/4 days helping them work out the kinks. In other words, doin' Mock auctions and buy it nows. Starting Mon., i'll have flies for sale there. This is going to be an auction site for very serious collectors..so get registered and open an account.and start selling and or buying. You'll need a Pay Pal account...to pay in your dues so-to speaknot actually dues.but a dollar amount that they can deduct from for covering your fees. The fee for selling an item is 50 cents and on top of that you can be charged an extra 50 cents or a buck for Prime Location Listing, etc., etc...but 50 cents is all they will charge for the most basic listing of an auction item. So you CAN sell something, wether it be by auction or a but it now item.for as little as 50 cents. For now, there will be no end of sale feeno commission. They're going to see how that goes.

[VFB] Flies for Pink salmon in saltwater
I'll tell you what I need them for. Every odd numbered 2nd year, there is a run of pink salmon (humpback) to this part of British Columbia - basically the Fraser River sytem. Every even numbered year - the pinks run to other areas of BC- notably the Queen Charlotte Islands in northern BC. I have usually fished for pinks in the Fraser in past years, and although I have caught them in saltwater I was never as successful as I felt I should have been. it seems that I have been using flies that are too big, because the pinks in saltwater feed on euphasid aka krill which are small - hence the size 10 hooks. I didn't know that you could get saltwater hooks in size 12. I will try and post a photo of the type of fly that I am tying in the File Section of Google groups. http://www.flyfishbc.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/1762 Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.
