Re: [VFB] Tony Spezio

2020-08-15 Thread Bruce Whittle 
Tony was the definition of the word gentleman.  I will be forever 
grateful for his encouragement of my son, Brandon.  They even share the 
same birthday, March 22.  I think of him fondly every time I see a Chili 
Pepper in my fly box and even more so when one saves the day!  Tony left 
a huge legacy, both in the worlds of fly tying and bamboo fly rods.  May 
he rest in peace!

the home was very nice and everyone knew both of them as the employees lived

Maybe next year for Sowbug we should all meet there for a  moment of silence in

You beat me to it.  I finally had a chance to look at the package from

Chuck,

There is an epoxy that is made FOR plastics.  I used it on a cattle 
repeater syringe piece that broke.  This piece takes quite a bit of 
stress and it is still holding after at least 6 months of pretty heavy 
use.  I cannot remember the exact brand but I found it at Lowes.

\MY TRAVEL PLANS FOR 2015

I have been in many places, but I've never been in
Kahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in
Kahoots with someone. I've also never been in Cognito. I
hear no one recognizes you there. I have, however, been in
Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven
there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my
children, friends, family and work. I would like to go to
Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on
physical activity anymore. I have also been in Doubt. That
is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too
often. I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very
important to stand firm. Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I
go there more often as I'm getting older. One of my
favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the
adrenaline flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age,
I need all the stimuli I can get! I may have been in
Continent, but I don't remember what country I was in.
It's an age thing. They tell me it is very wet and damp there.

Please do your part! You can do your bit by remembering to
send this e-mail to at least one unstable person. My job
is done! Life is too short for negative drama and petty
things. So, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly!

Jimmy,
Very humid here, in the upper 90's.  About passed out working on a pony 
yesterday afternoon!  I just got back from a PSA Trek at Philmont last 
Sunday - I am definitely ready to go back!!  I have never seen the ranch 
so lush and green due to all of the rainfall. Too bad about the Ponil 
flooding but could have been MUCH worse.

I am up for the JFTD starting up again.
Hope your feet get better.
Sincerely,
Bruce

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

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.


Allan


Allan,
That is for sure.  Mr. Nixon was one of the most humble people I have 
ever met.  If I remember correctly he carried all of his materials, etc. 
to a show in old cigar boxes and Mason jars!  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.  I hope I can get back to 
Mountain Home sometime to see all of my extended family again - it has 
been too long!

Rick,
REALLY BIG scuds, I guess!!!  Maybe for fishing downstream of a nuclear 
reactor.  Seriously, I think you can tie some bass type streamers with 
eyes on them as bass tend to go for the head of a baitfish is my 
understanding and would more easily get hooked up on a shorter shank hook.
