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. Arkansas Tony -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] Bobbin
Check out the Norvise bobbin and Ekich automatic bobbin. I have both and use both. The Novise automatically rewinds, but you do have to remember that and hang it or put a hackle pliers on it when you are done with the fly. You have to rewind your bobbin thread on the round bobbin but it fits the hand nicely. The Ekich bobbin is neat in that it will accept a spool of thread directly to the bobbin without having to rewind the thread thus keeping the same tension on the thread that the manufacturer did. It has the disadvantage that it does not have an automatic clutch, so when the bobbin winds tight, you have to flick the thread spool up, let it rewind and simply push the thread spool back again. You can find both of them on the internet and, as previously stated, I have and love both. I couldn't even think of tying without an automatic bobbin..it is the saving grace for arthritic hands.

Re: [VFB] Fishing today
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.
