Re: [VFB] What's everyone doing?

[Phxflytyer]

Went fishing last Thursday and caught 7 and lost 8 or 9 more. My fishing 
partner landed 4 but caught 3 more that had an early release. All rainbows. 
The week before I only caught 2 or 3 and lost several more. But my partner 
landed 5, and lost several more. Found out that the dropper that was tied onto 
the bend of the hook was causing the quick release. I am now tying the dropper 
to the eye of the lead hook.  
Read an article in a fly fishing book talking about using a clear seed bead, 
and a tippet ring. Tie both on the tippet ring but one shorter then the other 
and it eliminates the hooks getting fouled together. Will try this as soon as I 
can find the two sizes of tippet rings I have. ( the mind is a terrible thing 
to loose). 
Will be going out next Tuesday. I will be fishing for Largemouth Bass as well 
as Trout.

 I hope, you folks had more time for fishing

Have had a lot of rain here in New York. It has affected the hatches but have 
had some decent days fishing the Delaware river system. Been doing some fly 
tying, getting ready for a fall trip in Wyoming..

Re: [VFB] What's everyone doing?

[Rene Zillmann]

Hi Gary,

slow list, indeed, but I'm slow as well.

Tying is slow, I'm too busy with family duties - family grows like 
crazy, 4 grandchildren so far and 3 to surface until end of year.


I was out only once a week ago, with my oldest grandchild - thze boy is 
3. So, we had some fun, did catch one small fish, and missed a 2nd one. 
The 'productive' pattern was my blue parachute beetle. I did ty this one 
at the sowbug.


I hope, you folks had more time for fishing

Best

Rene
