It is with the saddest heart that I just found out that our great friend Don 
passed away from a massive stroke. He did not suffer and never regained 
consciousness. 
I will be in contact with his wife Cheryl about the arrangements. I do know 
that because of the Corona virus there will not be any open services. There 
will be a virtual service, most likely via Zoom?

Great idea, Rene,  but we need 4 sets.  One for the Sowbug, one for Dot, one 
for Robert and one for the host.
Dot is moving to New Jersey with her daughter Gina so she and Robert will be 
about 1,200 miles (2,000 Km) apart.

I won’t be able to tie until around February or March because my gear is packed 
up for a double move.  I have to be in a tiny apartment till my cottage is 
built.  Obviously I won’t be able to host.

So very sad to hear, & I deeply regret not making it down there last fall like 
I had planned. Tony was one of the people who early on encouraged me to become 
more involved in tying, joining this & one other group & even offered up his 
seat @ Sowbug to get me to tie. I didn’t accept because I wanted to watch him

RE: [VFB] Must have missed the Tee shirt test

[J Balmer]

Once upon a time, in a land far ago & long away, we were wading Taneycomo. We 
had just taken a lunch break because the dam was generating & came back to fish 
the flooded grass as the water level was dropping, I had a large heavy olive 
bugger on, trying for browns. Caught a couple small ones when the wind cam 
tearing down the river valley. I started casting over my left shoulder as a 
result & made one too many back casts, & my left elbow stopped the fly. Even w/ 
forceps, I couldn’t get the leverage to pull it out & because the skin on my 
elbow was so tough, I couldn’t push it though either. I cut it off, retied & 
fished the rest of the afternoon. When we got back to the hotel, I tried 
pliers, no joy. Mike’s wife, who had trained as a nurse, couldn’t get it out 
either. I finally was able to make an incision w/ the scalpel in my first aid 
kit & push it far enough to cut the point off, barb was mashed down but 
wouldn’t back out. I still have the fly, kept it as the one that caught a 
turkey.

It did sting when it first went in.  After that it didn't bother me.

Several years ago Susan my wife was with me when I got stuck.

The fly was buried.  I asked her to help me get it out because I couldn't get a 
good grip on it. She took one look at it and said: "I'm not touching that."

So today when I got home I showed her my finger with the fly still in it.

I knew what she would say:  "I'm not helping with this one either."  

We both laughed.

This was a KISS outing.  Tenkara rod, a small box of Pink Squirrels, and

cast hooked a weed on the bank. I'm blaming the wind.  Anyway while I was 
trying to retrieve the fly, Shadow my fishing dog ran by and dragged the line 
through my hand until my finger stopped the hook. I thought, this

is no big deal. I will just back it out and keep fishing. It would not budge.

And I didn't have my vest with the forceps clipped to it.  I broke off the fly 
and went back to fishing.  Caught four more before heading for home.

Five fish total. Plus a big guy that broke off.  66 inches and about 170 lbs. 
At home I cut the hook with side cutter pliers and removed the point.  I've 
always said my main reason for using barbless hooks is this:  The "Catch" I 
most like to release is ME!   I usually do the Tee shirt test on all my hooks. 
But I must have missed this one.

Tight lines you all.  But only if your hook is in a fish and not your hide.

I hope I didn't mislead any of you.  These flys are new to me.

Over the years I've tied many "Easiest Ever Ant Pattern" patterns.

 One of my all time favorites:  The late Ed Sutryn's McMurray Ant:  
https://www.flydreamers.com/en/fly-tying/mc-murray-ant-vl233  Years ago I 
ordered some from Ed.  Still in my vest. I'll never use them.  But trout love 
ants so even my poor copies produce.  And I've tied Harrison Steeve's 
TransparAnt.    
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uIKex5Z-Ws

Also Kelly Gallup's Ant Acid:   
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uuYX-cKqio  

I've tied a variety of fur  and foam ants.

 

  But my newest ant pattern I'm tying is Mr. Bill's Flying Ant.
 
http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/050806fotw.php

 

The other new to me fly is Justin Bruce's:  Houdini Tenkara Fly:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIB18lIzwew 
 =496s 

I bought a $10 rod from China to try fishing the Tenkara method.

And I've tied a bunch of Kebari style flies. Which I'm hoping to try soon.  On 
most of the small streams I fish Tenkara will work well.

Chuck, furled leaders work really well with Tenkara rods.

Well that's what I've been up to this winter.

Good to hear you're getting healthier Chuck.   I'm doing well, but

Susan has had some setbacks.  I won't go into details.  Just keep us in your

inches of snow last Sunday and minus 18 this morning.  The sun was shining but 
I wasn't even tempted to try for some trout.  Barely took my dog for a walk. 
When we get a day where temps get above freezing I'll be out trying some new

RE: [VFB] Pink Squirrel Nymph Swap- 2 tiers needed

Just 2 sets I haven’t received yet below:

 

Fly tiers list- two still needed.

 

I’m getting very close again to being able to tie (after many tries). Can be 
frustrating to find one’s abilities at so low a level.

The pain medications are much worse in side effects than the stroke was. The 
real challenge is the side-effects (along with additional side effects if just 
quitting them) and the lack of honesty about them.  Central post stroke pain 
syndrome is a monster.  I tied Percy before the pain set in, which ended all 
therapies until we got the pain under control. Which is in uncertain partial 
progress. Those familiar with post stroke central pain will understand.

See list below.

 

Since VFB traffic is not an issue nowadays, do y’all want to keep swap 
correspondence on list, or take it off.  All posts for the swap will have the 
subject line PSQN SWAP.

 

So we have 18 flies due by Feb. 28th.  Does that work?  Can submit extras or 
design efforts for charitable donations.

 

Rest of details to follow shortly.

Thanks to all who have signed up.  IOFFers rule!

I found an interesting fly on the internet that would be a good candidate for a 
swap.  It’s called a Pink Squirrel Nymph. Many of you are aware of it and have 
probably fished it.

 

If you have fished it, a story can be added.  Even crawfish like this pattern!

  <http://www.troutnut.com/im_other/picture_2_large.jpg> 

 

Ye Rooles: (for IOFFers)

 

1.  Role call for who’s still here- swapping or not.

2.  List of those interested in swapping this easy and much-liked pattern.

3.  Lots of photos on a search of images

4.  Broad range of quarry fish

5.  Very east tie, easily adaptable to rope-dubbing if you choose

 

6.  Size 16 – 8 all one size or varied, style hook can vary- wet, nymph, or 
scud hooks

7.  Gray or mottled brown body (your choice of dubbing), pink collar (any 
material suited for a collar per the photo archives)

8.  Gold or silver bead, your choice of ribbing wire or roped segments

9.  Any customization in keeping with the basic pattern (dubbing blends)

 

10  Number of swappers to dictate size of swap- SHOOTING FOR 18.

11.  Standard swap rules apply: toe tags, return SASE (some sort of pkg.) or 
Cash for return of flies. Recipes not needed unless you did something special. 
(Story?) 

 

Any extra flies will be donated to good charity. 

 

Will post a photo of all designs. Google images should pick it up.

 

All comments welcome. Easy tie, great fly (famous even), lots of variations 
with a common theme.

 

I am still in stroke recovery, but able to do more all the time- just need to 
keep my energy up.

 

Any VFB swappers left (2)?  Looking like we’ll have a good-ol’ days VFB Swap.

 

Will give it a couple of weeks for distance lurkers to check in.

 

Cheers,

DonO

Hi,

 

winter is approaching - at least in the northern part of the globe.

 

What are you doing to tie next?

 

I'll do 2 main things:

 

I will ty a lot of my parachute beetles, but with different body colors, 

to the the effect of the various colors next year.

 

And I'll do some variations for EHCs for a similar reason.

 

And what are you doing?

Tony Spezio called me today.  His bad news was that he had to have a toe 
amputated on Saturday.

His great news was that the surgeon felt the foot did not need to be amputated.

He is still in the hospital at the moment.

I am not happy with he had to tell me. Not enough blood circulation to save the

The surgery will be done when my kidneys are stable enough for the surgery. I

Fellow VFBers:

I am sitting here in Don’s living room in the new house that we just got him 
moved into and he wanted me to give you his  home address 14505N.Presidio Loop, 
Nampa, ID 83651

He would like it if you could send him by snail mail because his internet is 
not hooked up yet and may not be for several weeks. The internet company he had 
does not serve his new home, so they will look into different means of getting 
internet. Either satellite or what ever else will be available?


Most of the packing and unloading has been done by his wife Cheryl ( a real 
saint in my book) his son Donny, and his wife Melisa. His sister that lives 
near us in Arizona has been here the past two months helping out with 
everything. My wife and I have been here for about 10 days , and planning to 
leave this Thursday. I will see if I can find a spot on the Snake River to wet 
a line on the way home?

He is still going thru physical therapy and progressing well. Hopefully his 
tying will come back as good as it was. We can only pray.



I am using my iPhone as my hot spot in order to send this.

Charlie Spezio (Tony's son) had another surgery today.  I don't know if it is 
his last or not.  His sister (Gina) posted the following on Facebook about an 
hour ago:

Again, THANK YOU all for the prayers and positive thoughts. They are working! 
We were just informed that the surgeon was able to do the least complicated 
procedure of which he originally thought he was not going to be able to do. 
Thank God. The procedure was still a high-risk surgery, however recovery should 
be a little easier on Charlie and he is already finishing up (no 12 hour 
surgery!) The surgeon said that we should know in a week if he was able to save 
Charlie's lower leg and foot. So thankful for all of the love that our family 
has been receiving.

Re: [VFB] New Zealand

[J Balmer]

I'll let you know when we come back, but we'll probably spend more time in
New Zealand. Rob was awesome, we had over 2" of rain the day before we
went out, so the rivers were out. We went to a lake about the same
distance from Rotorua that was spring & creek fed & we found great numbers
of trout.
Penguins were awesome, some passed right beneath my feet:)
Liked Melbourne, but we were there less than 48 hours & there's a lot we
didn't get to see & experience. On the list for the next time through:)

Re: [VFB] Streamer Swap Update Feburary 1, 2017

[J Balmer]

My Almost Dun spinners went out w/ toe tags, my Screamer streamers are
going out tomorrow sans toe tags due to poor time management & computer
issues. Pattern is fire orange thread, tail is fire orange marabou w/ two
gold tinsel strips, body is Rusty Brown Ice Dub, gills are ginger hackle,
lateral "fins" are Badger Orange hackle. Oh yeah, 6-7 turns of .03 lead
wire.

Do you want a guide? I can put you in touch with someone recommended to me by

Dear VFB friends,

 

I am humbly asking for your prayers for my wife Susan.  Saturday morning she 
suffered an injury to her spinal cord. Not life threatening, just life 
changing. I can't give many details because the hospital where I work is very 
strict about HIPPA compliance. One strike and you are out.

I can say that the  neurosurgeon has offered little hope that she would regain 
any use of her legs. But as our pastor said earlier today: "God's people are a 
people of hope."  So we are hoping and praying, and asking the same of friends 
and family.

I just got an order of Whiting rooster saddles from Lakeland Flytying in the

amazed at how bad the colors were. The black claret has no claret, just 
straight purple on the black. The fiery brown has no brown, rather a red/orange 
color, and the lake olive is yellow gold, no green in the mix. I have compared 
this hackle color with the same hackle colors that I  had  on thiss colored 
hackle from Whiting before, This dye job must have been done by someone who is 
color blind.  I am wondering, does Whiting do the dying or is this bad color 
job done by Lakeland flytying? I would appreciate any input at all. This has 
really put me off on Whiting dyed rooster saddles. Joyce

RE: p.s.: Re: [VFB] QFTD, Why I tie... and new RD DVD#2 option?

[J Balmer]

I enjoyed the first DVD, & have referenced it more than once. My now primary 
method is dubbing your way w/ mono. 

The idea of making tying more interactive is more than intriguing, & having 
individual techniques or flies on YouTube or some other accessible website w/ 
commentary would certainly facilitate that. I’m in regardless of how you decide 
to proceed.

Fly tying can be a couple of nights a month to stock up on depleted favorite 
patterns, or a full-blown multi-faceted hobby, hobby-business, part-time 
business, or retirement business. 

 

If you include the satellite activities besides fishing, which include getting 
together with other tiers, attending fly shows (or tying at them), researching, 
publishing books or videos, mentoring, and of course vfb-ing, there's a lot to 
keep it diverse and interesting. When it gets boring, just add a new venue to 
the tying and challenge yourself to kick it up a notch.  Or plan a new trip for 
different fish, and tie the flies needed for that.  It should never ever get 
boring, especially if you include a sense of humor or art to the process.

 

On materials, my challenge after this last move and re-organization is just 
finding what I need amongst the myriad of materials I've collected. But I have 
a plan for next year for retardment. My 'retirement' will really just mean 
swapping focus from the oil & gas business to Fantasy Flies and videos. I 
intend to get a shop and turn it into a fly-base of operations.

 

Ahh, the video.  Rope-dub DVD#2.  Thinking of an alternate plan- put it out for 
comments.

 

Instead of a long DVD which is taking forever to film and produce (if I can get 
any time), how about a You-tube channel with themed short videos uploaded 
regularly- not only on rope-dubbing (will go on forever), but on mice 
(deerhair), flex-o, McFlyfoam, #32's, salt-flies, streamers, etc.? 

 

Big difference is it would be free to all, which is how I handled it in the 
first place with Byard, putting the RD videos on his site for anyone to see 
(pretty crude at the time).  My pay would be with visits & subscribers- from 
Y-T. Then also I’d still be selling the giant Fantasy Flies, framed streamers, 
mice, etc. Hopefully make for a busy yet pleasant retirement.

 

This way I could somewhat follow the comments in adjusting what I tie or show 
next and just let it evolve. Of course, there will be my sense of humor worked 
in throughout all of the videos to keep it from being all ‘dry’.

 

And since I’m slowing way down in attending fly shows (travelling less and 
less), I’ll make a ‘Baits Hotel’ video just for giggles and grins (and to 
survive me).

 

Comments? (Especially from those who have DVD #1.)

"There are two basic reasons for dressing your own imitations: (1) to get 
exactly the type of fly you want whenever you need them, in the number sand 
sizes required, and (2) to save money.  In short, fly tying is convenient and 
cheap."

A couple of years ago we had a trip to Jackson Hole in the spring, around the 
usual prime time after snow melt. Unfortunately, that year they had record 
snowpack & it rained for two weeks prior to our arrival. You could see how bad 
the river was from the air, & it looked like a river of mud as we drove into 
town. I had setup a guide session ahead of time w/ the idea that the guide 
would help w/ instruction for the two women that had never fly fished before. I 
walked into Jack Dennis’ shop to talk to him about it & he said he was setting 
me up w/ a particular guide, we were going to a spot in Yellowstone that we 
could actually fish & made some other considerations. The guide not only helped 
both women catch fish in the morning, but after they went for lunch & shopping, 
he put me on more fish than anyone else saw all day. @ one point, in order for 
me to get a shot @ some rocks mid stream, he had the back of my waders in one 
hand & a tree in the other to keep me from getting washed away while I was 
casting to where we thought we could hit some bigger fish. Didn’t want to leave 
until we did.

That said, a friend of mine & I had a horrible experience w/ a quide on the St

Well said about the guides, we had a similar problem up in the Indian River and 
Mosquito Lagoons this winter. I had prepaid deposits  for 4 trips with one 
guide before we went down. when we got there there was some obvious water 
quality problems, but no one was talking until the end of our trip in March. So 
we went out and looked at brown water 4 times, saw a fish once, but paid each 
time.  

The entire time there was a 20 mile by 5 mile algae bloom that is similar to 
red tide.  We did feel taken but kept quiet, although Jerry shortened each trip 
to half days, if you don't sight anything resembling a fish in four hours time 
to go in. 

We go more fish from shore, all small and a mix of flies and shrimp so next 
year that is what we will do. 

Now that we are home the guides are all taking about the water quality 
affecting the fishing all winter, so next season we will go back to self guided 
in the kayak and forget the fancy stuff. 

Try Captain Pips in Marathon for boat rental, we have used them several times, 
there is also a great flat bay side of 7 mile bridge and lots of Tarpon in May, 
June timeframe.

worked.

You'd think so. Maybe nicks in the tippet or knots. Usually I'm using 10 lb 
mono when bass fishing. This article says that mono has a higher breaking 
strength than flouro :

RE: [VFB] Nor Vise help

As far as the bobbin is concerned, I’ve used both the vise & a cordless drill, 
I generally use mono or white thread & wrapping either twice on the bobbin arm 
works best. I’ve been using Don Ordes method of dubbing since I first  tried 
it. Use your favorite patterns, practice makes perfect.

Hi All;

Received and installed standard jaws on my Nor vise, big difference. Studied 
Norm's videos but, I'm still struggling to use it.

A couple questions:

How do you figure out when the bobbin is set up correctly?

Tried using the vise to load bobbins, seemed very difficult, cordless drill 
works ok.

When touch dubbing, how long does it take for the thread to grab the dubbing?

Any suggestions on a pattern to master some techniques?

Anyone use the dubbing block, if so opinions?

Thanks in advance;

The lake below the Maroon Bells near Aspen, Colorado is a beautiful setting to 
go fishing.  I used to camp up on the face of the Maroon Bells at upper left of 
that picture.  Denver is my home town, so the Aspen area wasn't that far to 
drive.

 

These days, however, there is even a shuttle that takes people on the road up 
to the lake area.  Kind of ruins the experience compared to the old days.

RE: [VFB] RE:Norvise jaws

[J Balmer]

The jaws that came w/ mine have worked very well for everything I’ve tied, 
including some very small midges & ants. I will probably get the smaller jaws @ 
some point, I rarely fish saltwater so I don’t tie bigger flies except for some 
muskie streamers.

RE: [VFB] Thread Colors

[J Balmer]

I use mono most often & white w/ markers next. I have one bobbin that usually 
has red floss, but I’ve used other colored floss as well. If I HAD to use 
colored thread, olive, black, white & red, & maybe fire orange to tie Tony’s 
Chili Peppers:)

I just have a quick question. If you could only have 6 colors of thread to tie 
with, doesn't matter what the denier or ought is, and there were no Sharpies 
available, what 6 colors would you choose?

Hi All;

May be a while before I start tying again. I have drainage from my elbow 
surgery in October that worked its way out of my elbow about a month ago and 
won't stop. Doctor is going to open it up this afternoon and see what's up. 
Hopefully it's something minor and all signs point to that but, must be 
prepared for serious infection or my body rejecting my implant.

Will know when I wake up later today.

Hi All;

Every year I see different patterns and techniques, I've decided to challenge 
myself and others to either tie a pattern or use a technique you observed at a 
tying show.

First one for me will be a Minkie mouse pattern, one of my fly fishing goals 
for this year is to catch a snakehead and they like mice. Pictures to follow.

What's your new pattern or technique to try?

We are heading up to Georgia for a week to take a look around on Tuesday then 
over towards Mountain Home arriving on the 3rd at Bull Shoals state park. Then 
heading home after Sowbug.

Please note this winters fishing on the Mosquito and Indian River Lagoons is a 
bust du to Algea blooms and pollution. We have to decide what we do next year, 
I'm actually thinking bass fishing in fresh water.  The water problems are long 
term and the fix will not be easy, to many politicians involved.

Fred, the tying chair is having a cookout for tyers at his home the day before 
the bug starts, see everyone there.

I had a weird dream last night - I was fishing when I hooked something heavy 
and suspected that I had hooked a large pike. After playing it for a while, it 
came up from the depths and I discovered that I had hooked a human skeleton 
which still had green rubber gardening type boots on its feet. I was too

Check out Wildcat Shoals Resort.. It is a Mom and Pop resort. Small, clean and 
reasonable. It fills up quite fast. Right on the river 1/2 mile from my house.
