Re: [VFB] weather
It’s also breaking records here in Bama. It’s 7 degrees out right now, with about a –5 to –7 degree wind chill. Only got up to 22 yesterday, and only supposed to hot about 23-24 tomorrow.

Re: [VFB] Blizzard Swap first flies here!
Thought I had dropped out of the swap so someone else could get in, but since I seem to still be in it, I'll whip something together today. After all I can't get out of the driveway anyway. The city plowed the street. We now have a 3 foot ice dam at the foot of the drive. I tried to take a picture of it but the storm door fogged and froze before I could click the shutter. I don't understand this, since we've already warmed up to minus 13°. But I decided nobody really cared to see a picture of a perfectly flat white lawn with a driveway hding under it somehwere, capped off by a 3 foot white pile of the same white stuff. But hey, if Picasso was the artist with a blue period, maybe I could have been the photographer with the white comma.

Hi VFB, I am researching the origins and possible original recipe (if this is actually a Tom Nixon creation) for this fly: http://chemprof.tripod.com/midnite2.htm Is this a Tom Nixon original tied in the way he did it, or a variation created by someone else that is distantly related to Nixon's creations?

Wes, I have a later printing of the first edition of Tom Nixon's book.

If I ever get my driveway plowed and permission from my wife to get out of the house, I'll try to make a copy of the 'recipe' and send it to you. I can also send you a chunk of the chenille he used. It's very hard to find today. Somewhere in my collection, I've got an original Calcasieu Pigboat tied by Tom. If I can find it, I'll include a photo. In the 2nd edition of Tom's book, he dropped the spinner from the recipe. af p.s.: The above is from memory.

Re: [VFB] How far off is this fly from a Tom Nixon original?
My memory isn't all that good. My wife keeps reminding me of that. I forgot the HUGE black hackle he palmered on top of the chenille of the Calacsieu Pig Boat before he added the rubber legs. And my book is the 2nd edition, the one without the spinner. I think he decided that the spinner didn't add that much and actually fouled in the rubber skirt. But that was 30 years ago when he demonstrated it so I'm proud I remember as much as I do. Tom Nixon was a wonderful, salt-of-the-earth type person who is severely missed by those of us who were fortunate enough to know him.

I also have a Pig Boat he tied for me at one of the first Sowbug Roundups I attended but I probably cannot put my hands on it without a lot of searching. There are A LOT of salt-of-the-earth type people involved in fly tying / fly fishing, a lot of them on this list.

Re: [VFB] How far off is this fly from a Tom Nixon original?
All the times I sat next to him, it was laughs all day. He had a dry humor but he was funny. I first met him at the FFF Conclave in Mtn. Home before I moved here. I had tied a Pig Boat for a Bass fly contest back in Jersey. I took first place. When I found out he was at the Conclave, I made it a point to talk to him. We stayed in touch before I moved to Arkansas, His brother lives in the area that we bought the house. I mentioned to Tom where we bought our house and he said he knew right where it was as he comes up to fish with his brother quite often. He told me about a big Brown he caught right in front of the house. Yes like others, I also miss him.

Sent: Tue, Jan 7, 2014 7:55:20 PM Wes, I have a later printing of the first edition of Tom Nixon's book. In it, the Calcasieu Pigboat was made from heavy black chenille, rubber legs, and a spinner on the back of the fly tied on an extended piece of monofilament. If I ever get my driveway plowed and permission from my wife to get out of the house, I'll try to make a copy of the 'recipe' and send it to you. I can also send you a chunk of the chenille he used. It's very hard to find today. Somewhere in my collection, I've got an original Calcasieu Pigboat tied by Tom. If I can find it, I'll include a photo. In the 2nd edition of Tom's book, he dropped the spinner from the recipe. af p.s.: The above is from memory. I'll have to dig the book out to see how well I remember it. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: (Attn Peggy Brenner) Re: [VFB] Blizzard Swap first flies here!
Peggy: Thanks. LOL.. It's been the Pink Panfish Producer since I started tying in 2005 I think it was. First thing I ever got was a starter kit from Cabelas, and they put in a bunch of odds and ends that they can't sell any other way in those starter kits, and there was a card of Hot Pink chenille in there, so it just say=t there, till one I day, I tied on a black squirrel tail, hot pink body, gold bead head, and either a wet or dry hackle (the fish didn't care and I didn't know any better anyway), and I went out, and between me, my wife, and my sons we caught over 3,000 bluegills and other panfish that Spring/Summer of 2006, then did it again till 2011 till we couldn't fish very much during the last two yrs after moving/remodeling etc. But we HOPE to remedy that this year, and even though we still have a lot of work to do on the place, we decided it was not going anywhere, and we're going to TRY and match those numbers this year. For us, it’s been the #1 producing fly, followed by the Chili Pepper, then foam bodied spiders coming in third.
