[VFB] I'm finally back
Just returned home from 9 weeks of rehab from a broken hip. The head of my left femur - which was anchoring my artificial hip - snapped and I had to have some major repairs.

Re: [VFB] Wounded Warrior Project (OFF TOPIC)
*Chuck -* *I agree that our returning vets need all the support we can give them. From a fly fishing/fly tying perspective, here in KC, MO, we have a very active HEALING WATERS program. Our club - MO TROUT FISHERMEN ASSOC. - works with our local VA hospital and are sponsors of the program. Another approach to helping our warriors return to a normal? life.* On Sat, Jan 25, 2014 at 1:12 PM, Chuck Alexander chuckalexan...@centurylink.net wrote: Folks: I just saw another TV ad for the Wounded Warrior Project, and was really moved by it. I know this don’t have anything to do with fly fishing, but it does have something to do with US, which is to help each other among other things. I am attaching the page you need to go to in order to donate. I am proud to say that there are those in these groups who are and have been helping wounded warriors for a long time now. Anyway, starting at only $19 a month will help wounded men and women make a smoother, less financially burdened transition back to the civilian world without having to worry about as many things as they would otherwise. You may not be able to help any of these ppl personally, but you can help them ALL in some small way by just giving to this great program. As a disabled Vet myself, I know what it’s like to have to drive up to 120 miles round trip (which I did for almost 20 yrs when I lived in FL) every cpl moths or even more often at times just to see a VA doc. Sure, they paid us a “mileage” and a “meal”, reimbursement, but believe me, it did NOT cover the actual cost of the gasoline alone, much less food, wear and tear on your car, time taken off work etc. Thanks a LOT in advance on behalf of the Wounded Warriors you will be helping. I know it means a LOT to them. I know there are some great hearted ppl in this group.

I am trying to tie much smaller chironomids than I have in the past, but it has been quite a challenge to get a 2 mm tungsten bead onto a size 16 hook. I seem to spend more time searching for dropped beads on the floor than actual tying. I have tried using tweezers to hold the bead while I fumble with the hook to put the point in the correct side of the bead, but all too often, the tweezers slip and the bead goes flying across the room. The eyesight is not as good as it used to be, but the real problem is holding the bead. any suggestions?

What *non-fish* (or very /non-standard/ fish target) have you caught on a fly, and what's the story? People who complain there's no neat threads about fly-fishing, here's your chance. If you don't have a personal account, look up internet stories on strange creature fly-fishing encounters and post those. It doesn't have to be an intensional catch, even accidental counts. I can think of at least a half-dozen weird things I've caught on flies. 1. A bat. About 20 yrs ago, fishing at dusk, I hung a fly up in a tree branch, with the fly dangling over the river. I was going to try to flick the fly off the branch when a bat swooped down and hit the fly. He foul-hooked in his shoulder- mayby at the last second sensing the leader.

We haven't had a bad winter over here in the UK since the 70's, but as the winter starts I always put aside a weeks worth of dried foods (don't go bad in a power cut) Rice, Porridge oats, Pasta, Polenta flour, Dried milk, Dried fruit and some cans of beans, soup etc. To make it a little more palatable jars of honey, maple syrup and jam. Bottled water is always a good idea as is a gas stove to cook. I like my comfort and have no wish to suffer a survival situation when i can with a little forward planning merely have a few days inconvenience. Our cars and work van always have 24 hours food and water, blanket and a waterproof poncho. In UK you are seldom able to get an hours walk from a village or town but like I said I like comfort. iain As most of you know we had a bad ice storm here in Arkansas. We were lucky to only be out of power for just four days. By that I mean we were not to get power for another week or so but a bit of luck came out way. There was not a room to be found in our whole area for the out of state crews that came in to work. The resort down the road offered to put up as many as they could if they had power. They got power to them and we are on the same line so we got power too after four days. We are total electric so we had no heat, water,or lights. The garage door was frozen shut so we could not get the van out. We live on a one lane road that is not plowed so even if we could get the van out we would not be able to get to town. All power in town was out too. Those that have been here know about the hill. The one mile steep hill was totally iced over and blocked by fallen trees and big limbs. It took a crew of locals and farm hands 12 hours to get it open but there was still the ice problem as far as getting to town. Temps went down to 18*F two nights, we had 10 candles and an oil lamp burning in the living room for heat.Spent the four days in winter outside clothes, even slept in them.No comment on the toilet. Luckily we had a one burner Colman camping stove and bottled water to make hot chocolate and warm cans of soup. We managed but I hope we will not have to do that again. We finally got out yesterday and could not believe the damage done It looks like a war zone and like about 20 tornadoes went through. Roads blocked with trees down, loads of branches down every where. Broken power poles and wires down. No stop lights working. Walmart was working on half power but most of the shelves for candles, oil lamps, bread, milk camping stoves, blankets and a lot of other stuff was clean.It may be two weeks or more before all power is restored We lost all the food in the freezer and refrigerator Arkansas Tony -~--~~~~--~~--~--~--- -- Beyond Hotmail - see what else you can do with Windows Live Find out more!http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/132630768/direct/01/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

To make this one really different, I'm thinking of an OLD FART SWAP! You'll need to be at least 65 years old before the end of this year, ore thereabout. The fly you'd tie would be one of your own design, preferably one of your favorites, fly size up to you. At this point, I'm just testing the water. As those of you who have participated in my seaps before already know, there'll be around 25 participants. Could be more. Could be less, depending on the number of OLD FARTS who can still do a whip finish. :-) ;-) :-P :-D *Time frame for flies to me would be around the first of February, with the usual toe tags, return postage packaging or pre-stamped return package.* I look forward to hearing from you OF's who can still tie a fly.
