[VFB] Jimmy D. Moore

2019-09-25 Thread Alan Di Somma
It is with a very deeply saddened heart that I have to tell you that my good 
friend Jimmy  passed away yesterday.

I am in Texas now and will be attending his funeral. I will appreciate it if 
you could all say a prayer for Jimmy and his wife Jody.

When I get more info I will pass it on.

Re: [VFB] #32 Mustad Royal Coachman Video in the making

2017-04-03 Thread Alan Di Somma
When I fished the San Juan River in New Mexico a couple of years back I brought 
my tying stuff and tied some 28 and 30’s.
I had Bennecci 16/0 and I liked it better then the Guedebrod 10/0 which I 
thought broke too easily. Never did like that Guedebrod.

Thanks to y’all for the responses.
I find them all helpful. 
My fishing buddy has one but I think his needs some refinement?
I will use this info to make one for myself.

Tnx. That one looks very user friendly.
I have one of their bobbins and I use it almost exclusively.
It was very expensive but I believe it is well worth it because I use it so 
much and feels good while you are using it.
I’ll bet the hackle pliers are that good also?

 A rotary vise is useless for winding parachute hackles. The swivel hackle

 The long handle one is the best for that. I can show what I mean at the

Re: [VFB] testing

2015-02-18 Thread Alan Di Somma
Had an absolutely great day fishing today with two fishing buddies.

Not a cloud in the sky and every once in a while a little breeze came up.

Not enough to cause any problems in our pontoon boats.

One guy got two nice small mouth bass but the other two of us did not get 
anything.

 Hi Gang!
 
 I'm sure you're aware that Denny Conrad passed away last week.  Denny was one 
 heck of a nice guy. I met him at Sow Bug and later invited him to spend a 
 week with me at Philmont Scout Ranch fishing for rainbow trout in the Rayado, 
 my favorite little river.  Denny was my guest and all his expenses were 
 waived because I put him on the Philmont Fishing Committee.  All Denny had to 
 do was pay his way to and from his home in Washington.  He took the bus.  I 
 picked him up at 4:00 a.m. at the Raton, NM at an all night restaurant. Ugh!
 
 Denny wasn't aware of my ultimate purpose in getting him to Philmont, but 
 Jeff Hines was.  You see, Denny lost his Eagle Scoout badge back in 1941 but 
 never said too much about it.  Anyway Jeff let me know  and I suggested we 
 get another Eagle and re-present it during the week at Philmont.  Jeff, who 
 lives in Carrollton, TX  and I got with National BSA and they checked it out 
 and all was kosher, so they sent the Eagle Badge to me.  I presented it to 
 Denny at the opening banquet of the Fishing Invitational. Blew Denny totally 
 away.  It was a very moving experience for all of us,  Denny was spechless. 
 
 Yours in Scouting,
 
 JIMMY D

Re: [VFB] Tenkara Anyone?

2014-08-11 Thread Alan Di Somma
Back in the early 50's, my father actually made three bamboo surf rods from 
straight bamboo.
He tied the guides on and the Penn reel was held on with hose clamps. 
The handle was nothing more then black electrical tape rapped around the base.
I actually remember him catching eels in the Hudson River.
We took them down the Jersey Shore and used them in the surf.

When you are poor and don't have any  expendable cash, you find ways to make 
what you want.

 Truth be told, I was referring to split cane rods. How can one expect to 
 catch fish on straight bamboo?

FREE FOOD but I wouldn't eat those eel's.

My dad used to go out on a party boat after work on Friday nights and come back 
just around dawn with Blue fish they caught.
I hated that also. Very oily and fishy tasting.

 But we didn't realize we were poor. Nobody else had any money either. You did 
 with what you had or could get for next to nothing. I think bamboo 'poles' 
 (actually just long bamboo stalks) were about 2 or 3 bucks back then.
 
 And did we catch fish? Yes. During WWII, that was 'free' food.

 Gorgeous day here in Indiana.  Took an Arborist friend from Indpls down to 
 the southern part of the county to an orchard he'd never heard of which is 
 owned by a friend who used to work with me.  He was VERY impressed.  She has 
 over 7,000 apple trees, plus peaches, strawberries, raspberries, etc.  We 
 found her in the greenhouse and ended up buying some plants.  I mentioned we 
 were going over to a DNR site to try to tease a fish or two.  She said, 
 These two ponds over there (pointing) have a ton of fish if you'd like to 
 fish here.  But.  I spoke up and said, We're strictly catch and 
 release.  She said good.
 
 We caught a ton of fish.  The ONLY fly that worked well I'll have to call the 
 Ziegerbug. It's a bug that Rick Zieger sent me.  Rick's bug has speckled 
 rubber legs.  I didn't have any, so I tied some of them with solid rubber 
 that I had marked with a Sharpie. It looks like most of the Sharpie wore off 
 after catching so many bluegills.  (1st attachment)  I don't know what Rick 
 tied the body with, but I used black ice dub body with mallard feather tail 
 and a duck-quill wing case.  Weight was 1/8 brass bead on a size 10 94840 
 hook.
 
 I out-fished my buddy, but he took the cake with a 11+ inch bluegill.  
 Gorgeous fish.  (2nd attachment).  It looks kinda small in his hands, but he 
 is 6-10 tall and the rest of his body is proportional.  His hands are huge.
 
 It was good to actually feel the tug of a different fish on the OTHER end of 
 the rod again.

 I suppose I should keep my nose out of this but that's impossible. You can't 
 measure thread diameter, it's meaningless. You have threads that are flat 
 nylon, others that are twisted, others with multiplies, etc., etc. (what's 
 the diameter of a flat thread?). This was the problem with the X/0 system, it 
 had no standard. For a long time most respoolers played more or less fair and 
 advertised numbers that at least gave some relative idea of size. Then, 
 along came a bunch that decided to game the system like Benecchi. They put 
 numbers like 12/0 on threads that were the same (same thread manufacturer) as 
 other respoolers 8/0. So all of sudden you could throw the X/0 system in the 
 crapper. The only reasonable approach is Denier or Decitex, both 
 weight/length measures.  And even here the relative size is only accurate 
 when referring to the same material. My little booklet, How to Choose and 
 Use Fly-tying Thread explains this and gives a correlation for UNI-Threads.

 Wayne,
 
 That's what makes the Denier system a tad better.  It's a true measurement, 
 I think.  Although I could have been lead astray.
 
 IF I remember right (always a problem any more) 140 denier is fairly 
 equivalent to the old 3/0 (think Danville prewaxed).  6/0 was in the area of 
 80 denier, 8/0 in the area of 60 denier.  The higher the denier, the heavier 
 the thread.
 
 Here's the definition of denier I found on the internet.:
 A unit of fineness for rayon, nylon, and silk fibers, based on 
 a standard mass per length of 1 gram per 9,000 meters of yarn.
 So all you have to do is take 9,000 meters (5.6 miles) of yarn and weigh it.
 
 Of course the tensile strength is highly dependent on the material used to 
 make the thread.
 
  I hope this hasn't totally muddled the issue.

 then re-cast as normal right ??? Or wrong??  Do those sinking lines take a 
 while to get used to?? Thanks, Chuck

 You will not be disappointed I have used both their floating and sinking

 I never have, but at that price, I think I will try at least the sinking 
 tip, because the fish are suspended in deeper water right now, till they go 
 into the shallows to spawn starting in April sometime, and I plan to try and 
 get out to the lake before that happens. Chuck

Re: [VFB] ooops

2014-01-11 Thread Alan Di Somma
It should be. The only problem making it illegal is the when the fish bunk into 
you legs, you do it out of reflex.

I know because I just fished there in Sept.
The fish are very big and just swim around your legs.

By the way, one of the guys I was fishing with was using a 4 wt. rod that was 
extremely slow. It looked like a noodle.
He hooked into a good one that I saw was at least 25-28.
He was fighting it for a while until it decided he had enough of the and headed 
down river. Well you should have seen him running down after it. Several 
minutes later he came back up to where I was fishing with a rather dejected 
look on his face. I said to him that just hooking one of those big fish should 
be a thrill.

 In order to tie one you must take a cigarette lighter and singe both ends of 
 the Vernielle to taper the ends.
  
 This pattern was developed for the San Juan River in New Mexico, USA.
 It is used by many fly fishers in Arizona in Lee’s Ferry, which is the tail 
 water from Lake Powell.
 I have also heard of it being used in other places here.
  
 Does the term” San Juan Shuffle” mean anything to you.
  
  
 It is a way of stirring up the bottom of the San Juan River by shuffling your 
 feet, there by stirring up some food sources .
 The rainbows can be very large and just swim around your feet and nudge you 
 making you look down at them and you get startled and shuffle .
 Many fishermen do this as a general routine to stir up activity. The water is 
 so clear and shallow that you can see many fish in the river.
  
 If you have any other questions I will be happy to help.

 I sent the following by direct email to Hendry.
  
 
 By the way, the Beaverkill Valley Inn has 1 mile of private water catch and 
 release water on the upper Beaverkill just like 2 miles north of Lew Beach, 
 NY. The 'wall pool' is like no more than 300 feet away where I have caught 22 
 inch rainbows at the head of the pool many times because the BVI is catch and 
 release. This pool is quite long. There are three great pools to fish and 
 twice as many riffles also. There is the bend pool further south, may 800 
 feet away. If you are lucky enough to know someone from the Beaverkill Trout 
 Club a couple of miles south of the BVI, they have 6 miles of private water. 
 You would like to fish within walking distance of the motel/Bed  Breakfast 
 and be in NIRVANA? Well this is it!!! it sounds like you want to make a 
 summer trip. The water will be cool enough to hold the fish even through 
 August and warm enough to wet wade. Bing Maps the Birds Eye view of the 
 address and you will get an idea of their property. 
 
 The nice thing about the BVI, is that you must cross the Barnhart Road bridge 
 to get to their property. Their property is separated from the Beaverkill 
 Valley Road by the river.
 
 From the BVI you can get to the East Branch of the Delaware, which has many 
 access points for wade fishing. In August it will still be ice cold from 
 water releases early in the morning, 40 degree range from the bottom of the 
 Pepacton Reservoir Dam in Downsville NY. It is like natures own A/C on a 95 
 degree August day.
 
 They have an indoor swimming pool, indoor basketball court and a self serve 
 ice cream bar. Breakfast is part of your room charge. Last year weekdays were 
 $167/ night and Sunday is a weekday. They serve lunch and dinner, if need be 
 at an additional price. Full course dinners were $50/person with soup, salad, 
 entre and desert. Sometimes with dinner, they have a cocktail hour with hors 
 d'œuvres. It just depends on how many people will be at dinner. They have a 
 nice little bar with good spirits a plenty, fine wine and many craft beers. 
 Tipping is not permitted. If they are not serving dinner, you are allowed to 
 eat at the homeowners association club bar in Lew Beach.
 
  
 There is a wonderful wraparound porch for sitting and reading. There are many 
 trails for hiking but it is black bear country so please bring bear mace 
 and/or fog horns. Just Google either and make your choice. I always carry 
 bear mace, a small horn and one 5 inch bowie knife as a last resort.
  
 From the BVI, you can go fish the covered bridge on the upper Beaverkill NY 
 state park area a few miles away. There is a deep pool there. You can go 
 north on route 206 out of Roscoe and before you cross the Beaverkill River 
 Bridge, there is a torn off on your left to the Beaverkill River. Back down 
 206 towards Roscoe, there is another access point. And of Course there is the 
 famous Junction Pool (the Beaverkill and Willowemoc meet to form the lower 
 Beaverkill. 
  
 There is a cute little creek with two turn offs for fishing, Mongaup Creek. 
 It is up Mongaup Road which is off of DeBruce Road out of Livingston Manor. 
 Mongaup is a tributary to the Upper Willowemoc, upstream from Livingston 
 Manor. The turnoff to the pool, which I always fish, is the one with the v 
 formed plank dam, the second one after driving up on Mongaup Road. Do not 
 step out onto the dam. It is slick as goat shit. Plus I am not sure that it 
 would support any weight because of its age. A vist to the hatchery on 
 Mongaup creek is worthwhile. It is fed by 1,500 gallons daily of spring 
 water, which just emptys into the lower Mongaup Creek where the plank dam is, 
 insuring water even during a hot dry summer month. 
  
 Just plop a size 16 royal wullf to the far side and let the back wash drift 
 it into the foam and pretty little 14 inch rainbows will bolt from the depth 
 underneath the foam and take your presentation. Mongaup Creek houses the 
 Mongaup Creek NY State Hatchery further on up the road so Google map it and 
 you will find the road to the aforementioned fishing spot.  
  
 Depending on the time of year, which you may go, you will have to check local 
 info as to local craft fairs etc.
 
 The only fly shop, to which I go, is the Catskills Fly Shop. Dennis, the 
 owner, is very friendly but do not be put off by his sarcasm, if he displays 
 any. It is so much a part of his charm. He will give you all the help, which 
 you need, to choose the right flies etc. He will chit chat with you endlessly 
 especially when he goes outside to roll a cigarette and have a smoke. Just 
 follow him out and keep chatting. Walter, who works

 Savings for seniors age 50+
 
 You may qualify for this now!
 
 Thought this was interesting...
 
 
   SENIOR DISCOUNTS
 
   Keep this list and send a copy to your senior friends and relatives.
   As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently, I 
 heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized 
 and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me 
 that seniors over age 55 get 10% off everything on the menu, every day.
   Being of 'that' age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the discount 
 too.
   This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of 
 restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of 
 offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was 
 actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start at 
 the young age of 50 .
   This list may not only be useful for you, but for your friends and family 
 too.
   Dunkin Donuts gives free coffee to people over 55 .

 There is actually proof that bones when they heal do create a magnetic 
 field, this is to enhance that natural effect.

 Hi Gang:
 
 Still progressing nicely.  Taking a litle while to get tht Comadin
 regulated,
 but I understand that's the way it goes.  Blood too thin, blood too thick.
 Hopefully they get it right this time.
 
 There's no swelling or pain.  Been no pain from the outset, so I'm lucky
 there.  Some have really bad pain with the clot.  The only thing that
 bothers me is that I have to take the Comadin for 6 months. So be it!
 During all this I plan to re-hab the muscles in my legs.  Was working on
 on that when Clot hit.
 
 The orthopedic boot is 'out the window'  Both my docs said that the
 way I had it tightened was what caused the clot in the first place.
 Told me in no uncertain terms  was I to wear the boot until
 the clot business is over and done with.  Anyone want to buy a $1000
 boot? :-P  Yep, thats what they cost. Medicare paid for it,. whew!
 
 Hopefully, come spring, I can wade again.

 As an officer of the local fly club, I sometimes get handed items from 
 estates of members who have passed on.  I haven't opened the boxes yet, 
 but there are 4, count em 4, 100 boxes of these in the donation.  
 Anybody have an idea of what they are worth?  Anybody interested 
 sometime in the near future?  Right now I'm trying to ascertain the 
 value of the donation so I can give it to the family for taxes.  Most 
 items will go to club members during meetings and our annual banquet, 
 but I think these may be more appreciated by some of ya'll.  And by 
 appreciated I mean rectangular green paper. We were told by the family 
 to auction most off to be donated to some of our charities, and anything 
 not worth selling, to use for our teaching efforts.
 
 
 There are also some TMC 30s and 32s.

Re: [VFB] Fishing the other day

2013-08-31 Thread Alan Di Somma
I got to go out Thursday with a friend.

Caught one largemouth, two sun fish and one trout.

It rained but I brought my rain coat and kept fishing. I was hoping it would 
stop but it didn't. I was wearing my cowboy hat and it kept me dry for a good 
while until it got soaked. Then it started running down my neck. That's when I 
rowed my pontoon boat back to shore and sat in the truck. Nothing worse than 
being wet and cold.

 Dot had an appointment with the doctor on Thursday. This is the doctor that 
 has a pond right by the parking lot. I decided to take my fly rod with me 
 though it was real hot and bright sun in the early afternoon. The pond was 
 flat with no activity. I tied on a Yellow Froggie, made a few casts and 
 hooked up. Had a Largemouth. It was not a monster but it is a fish. Worked a 
 few yards further and picked up another Largemouth. Then it was quiet for a 
 while and picked up again. Missed a couple of strikes and then another Bass. 
 The heat started to get to me and I knew I would not be out there very long. 
 I spent about 45 minuets by the pond and ended up with Five Bass and missed 
 at least three.
 I spent the rest of the time till Dot got finished in the air conditioned 
 waiting room.
 Was not much of a fishing trip but I did get to fish and that was better than 
 not fishing at all.

 Hi VFB!
 
 Spring fishing in central Oregon was Gone with the Wind.  At one point, had 
 scheduled eight trips, only to be able to make two, due to wretched weather.  
 I was getting depressed!  Felt like the whole season was going down the tubes.
 
 Had a couple of very good days at Davis Lake for Largemouth Bass.
 
 Then finally the weather warmed in July, and this month has been incredible.  
 I have mostly been fishing Crane Prairie Reservoir for the big rainbows, and 
 in the last 12 days, have CR two 27, two 26 and three more over 20.
 
 The fly of choice was my Juicebug Damsel, both in the original version, and 
 lately an olive brown, copper-eyed, heavy hook version.  The light wire hooks 
 in the original pattern were no match for these fish, so ended up going to a 
 3X heavy Fuling Mills Competition Heavyweight from the UK. That's done the 
 trick.  The tails and abdomen are dyed Arctic Fox body fur.
 
 Also in the third season of restoring our 1975 vintage Dodge Maxivan camper.  
 The camping has almost been better than the fishing.
 
 We are tinder dry here, and fires seem to start every day, but have been 
 quickly extinguished.  The greatest fear will be a dry lightning storm.
 
 Hope you are able to view the photos.
 
 Safe travels.
 
 Wes Wada

 Excellent! 
 
 I guess you don't need this exercise routine.
 
  EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 60 
 
 
 1. Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty 
 of room at each side. 
 
  2. With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from 
 your sides and hold them there as long as you can; try to reach a full minute 
 and then relax. 
 
 3. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a 
 bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags. 
 
  4. Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to 
 
 get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your 
 arms straight for more than a full minute (I'm at this level). 
 
  5. After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.

 the mussel structure from getting

 keep it moving and only sling it when
 necessary to alleviate pain. Doc Lesko was impressed that my passive range 
 of motion was nearly 100% and my active
 ROM was about 60%, (50% greater than expected). He ask about my régime and 
 workout times and how I came up with the
 ideas for it. Told him went back to my Books and did some research on 
 mussel movement and uses and worked from
 there.
 
 He said he would see me back in 4 weeks and was not going to waste my time 
 with scheduling a therapist since I was
 3 weeks ahead of where I was expected to be in passive and active range of 
 motion. Did want me to refrain from any
 lifting or stress workouts using the biceps for fear of damaging the tendon 
 attachment to the soft tissue after
 being snipped.

I tied up a bunch of them for a friend in three colors.

He was ecstatic and could not wait to try them.

He had caught quite a few trout on the pattern last year but could find any to 
buy. He is gone for several days this week and plans to use them. I will post a 
is hing report next week but I just wanted to thank you.

As a side benefit, I learned how to split the thread in order to dub.

 I actually went fishing Friday afternoon.  A friend and I went to a 
 (nameless) lake about an hour South of here and caught a bunch of HUGE 
 bluegills.  Not only were they big, they were wide.  Everything was caught on 
 top-water...rubber spiders, gurglers, and a local foam creation, the 
 Harford Housefly:

 It's a little bedraggled - missing legs, punctured foam.  Obviously a cripple.
 
 We were fishing in a little 'plastic bass boat', which got beaten all over 
 the place by the wind.  The lake is filling rapidly with lily pads, but we 
 were able to cast into open areas, then drag out the big gills covered with 
 tons of lily pads.  We were both fishing 2X leader, so we only had 3 or 4 
 break off in the pads.
 
 Not all the gills were huge - I caught the most aggressive one of the day- a 
 2-3 bluegill that swallowed the fly above.
 
 All in all a fun afternoon.

Re: [VFB] Bobbin

Thanks to all for the great help and answers. Ain't this list great?

If any one out there has either of these two bobbins and do not like or do not 
use them, I would be willing to buy them.

Please let me know.

 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. Joyce

 Tony,
 
 I had a good day this morning and didn't even wet a line.  
 
 I went to help with this month's Project Healing Waters outing.  Mr. 
 'celebrity' was there with his two boys.  He had never fly fished.  So they 
 went out in the boat with me.  Another fellow came along who is a really good 
 'coach' had Jeff and his oldest boy (12 yrs) casting pretty well.  The six yr 
 old didn't try it - he used his Zebco.Quite a few bluegills and bass were 
 caught - all on Rick Zeiger's Goldie Junior till the last 45 minutes, when 
 they started hitting poppers.
 
 I basically managed the boat in the light breeze that kept blowing us out to 
 the middle.  But having one of my all-time favorite pro football players fish 
 with me was an honor.  Jeff Saturday is the former pro-bowl center for the 
 Indianapolis Colts.   Jeff is a true gentleman and about as nice a guy as you 
 would ever want to meet.
 
 That was followed by a birthday party for two of my great-grandkids.
 
 All in all a it has been a good day.  But I'm pooped.  G
 
 a.
 
 p.s.:  We had a ton of vets and a ton of mentors.  No vets were 'lost in the 
 shuffle'.  Everyone had a great time.

I sell the Rite bobbin at Bass Pro but have not tied with one.

I used to have a Norvise with the automatic bobbins but never was able to 
adjust it properly.

The one I was asking about is supposed to be easier to use.

I saw one advertised in one of the fly fishing mags but can't remember the 
correct name or how to spell it.

 Alan,
 The bobbin I have switched to several years ago is the Rite Bobbin, and may 
 not be the one you are looking for but.
 I enjoy placing a regular sized spool on it and not having to cobble fill 
 from an odd sized one. the two big things I enjoy are the ceramic tip
 (I sometimes get a bit heavy handed) and it is easily adjusted for tension. 
 Really a big plus to me.
 If interested, please contact me off list.

 The only two automatic bobbins I know of are the Ekich and the Norvise 
 (Nor-bobbin).  I have never used an Ekich, but I was given a Nor-bobbin.  I 
 liked it so well I bought a second one.  I'm lost when I have to use a 
 regular bobbin in occasion.
 
 Dave Klausmeyer has an excellent review of both bobbins in the Spring 2013
