My shop owner said they quit using them because of excessive breakage. Jack Austin On 4/10/2012 6:18 PM, Neville Gosling wrote: Hi Tony: The REC recoil guides were fitted to my Swedish Guideline LeCie double-handed rod which I brought back from the UK a few years ago. These guides were the recoil single foot style as originally fitted to the rod. The problem was that of breakage. Last September on my extended trip to Northern BC for steelhead, I discovered first one, then two broken guides, necessitating a trip to the local town for some emergency replacements (not recoil) which I held in place with fly tying thread followed by a couple of coats of Sally Hansen's. Then in January, on a lengthy day trip , I had another guide break. Interestingly, the broken guides were the top two of the middle joint and the bottom one of the top joint. In other words, they were all sequential. Now, I'm not over lining the rod and I don't know the cause, but each guide fractured in the same place, just as it leaves the thread wrap. I contacted REC and at their request, I mailed them two of the broken guides. They took a long time to respond and then sent me two replacements, which was no good as they knew that 3 were broken. I felt the whole lot were suspect and that they all should be replaced. I had a long telephone conversation with Dave Lyons of the Angler's Workshop and settled on complete replacement with Snake brand snakes with a fuji tiptop. This is the only way that I could be reasonably sure that the problem should not re-occurr. Maybe the batch fitted to my rod was just a bad batch, but I wouldn't buy another rod with REC single legs and I provided that information to Guideline's chief rod designer Lief Stavmo as feedback. I like the rod, but not the guides. Neville (Nev) Gosling On 2012-04-10, at 3:28 PM, Anthony Spezio wrote: What do you not like about the Recoil guides.

Like the CO-OP swap, the meister buys the pelt, photos it, and cuts it up to divide amongst the swappers, who send in their share + SH. Buys range from dirt-cheap to taxidermy quality, many animals listed (dubbing quality critters), and 3 pieces would be enough dubbing to last a very long time. The numbers can be set by the meister and swappers. (If you want half a pelt, find one more swapper.) But a simple swap could go like this: (Just a suggestion of an easy typical swap) So you'd get a chunk of tail, some dense back, off-color thinner belly. #1 2 swappers would want the mask for bushy flies. There are hundreds of selections, so there could be many swaps. Just a thought- one ore way to use the VFB for buying power.

I won't get all of the ones I want, but I buy one of the bags.*/ If you only pick one, then what are the other 9 that you'll be getting 100 of? What can you use for your type of fishing? *Remember the Whiting Co-op swap:* Had to have 5 swappers pick 5 different saddles to divide up (I thing it was 5). Then you got 1/5th of each saddle- variety vs bulk and much better pricing than the 10-paks. *But these were dry-fly saddles all,* a narrow range for a particular fly. Byard picked out lots of 5 by requests and availabily, like midge saddles, and 5 co-oppers signed up for each set. If you didn't want midge hackles or dry fly hackles, this was not your swap. That's why I had a narrow window of *trout hooks*, but I could branch out with other hooks I can use. *Rick needs to evaluate* the requests and negotiate the *most favored hooks*. Swappers must give a range and not be too dead set. Once he has 10 hooks styles in 10 sizes that 10 swappers agree on, he has a complete co-op swap. I will donate some hooks to Rick and some flies and make sure he has enough $$$ for SH to make it worth his while. Hardest part- 10 swappers settle on 10 hook models and sizes. Send Rick the average cost of all hooks (once settled), so that you don't buy 1000 expensive hooks and get 900 less expensive hooks back. Pay with Paypal or direct to Rick. Send Rick a SABox with postage to be determined by Rick. Include in box whatever for Rick's efforts. End result is that you'll have 10 bags of 100 hooks of styles and sizes you want (1000 total) for around $45. My 'tip' to Rick will be a 5-hook kick-back of each size. Fair enough for the work he'll do. Once we work out the bugs, this method should work out as well as the Whiting swaps did. And there's no reason we can't do another Whiting Co-op swap, even is Byard is on a different venture right now.

Re: [VFB] Blue Gill Fly
I would love to see this fly! Sent from my iPhone On Apr 15, 2010, at 5:31 PM, Everett Hall ehal...@live.com wrote: Spending the three days at the Sow Bug this year was truly an uplifting experience. If you have never attended the Sow Bug you owe it to your self to get to Mountain Home and see just how much you can learn about fishing and fly tying. I had a lady sit at my tying position the first day and she was very interested in my Blue Gill fly that I was tying. After giving her a couple of the flies she said may I show you a fly we fish her in Arkansas for blue gills. She did just that and I must say she knew what she was doing. Well to make a long story short, I brought that fly home with me back to Ohio. Well my friends I went fishing at my favorite golf course pond today and took along that same fly that the lady gave me. I was at least smart enough to have tied several of them so I would not loose the one and only. On the very first cast I caught a hand sized slab bluegill that I couldn't even reach around to hold him while I took out the hook. About nine inches long!! Missed one on the next cast and caught another on the third cast. I was about ready to fly to Mountain Home and thank the lady. I caught several more and put them all back to catch again soon. I just thought the list needed a fish story for a change. I can post the pattern if someone would like it.

Since the gas tank will sit in the bottom of the boat, do you just pump the bulb until the gas tank is pressurized, and then when the pressure dies down, pump it up some more???

Well, the guy wanted $125 for it, which wasn't bad. I got over there, and due to a bad design, one of the bolt heads that holds the cooling cowling on, had rubbed a tiny hole in the (plastic) gas tank. Well, it ran great, but had this problem. So, the guy knocked it down to $75. I almost snatched his arm off LOL..cause that's dirt cheap around here. Well, my master plan was to fix the little 1/8 hole by taking a big pop rivet, putting an petroleum resistant rubber washer on the pop rivet, then rivet it in. Worked great. BUT, I forgot about the tiny gap between the rivet's body and the pin, so it still leaks a little. Well, it just so happens that the leak is very close to the head and I don't want to set the thing on fire. SO, does anybody know of anybody that deals in these type boat parts??? If so, I can provide you with all the make, model serial number etc ect. It's (I think) an early to mid 1980's motor. And this particular type plastic, I have tried every type glue, or epoxy there is, buyt nothing will stick to this stuff. I was just gonna take the rivet out, get a large screw with course threads and tap it into the hole, but I'm afraid it will vibrate lose and fall out sooner or later (sooner in my case with my luck LOL). Anyway, I have searched ebay, Craig's list, the internet and can't seem to find a gas tank. I know they made a LOT of these motors, and probably a Sears, Ted Williams, or a game Fisher either one should work cause they're all the same I think. Thanks a lot.. I'll even pay you a bird dog fee. I was just watching You Tube videos and these little motors really haul butt to be as small as they are and I'd like to do some fishing in the river this year.

Re: [VFB] Tube Fly Tying Question
What's the big idea? Are you afraid to lose any flies? If it's that big a deal don't get your flies wet.

If it were set an inch or so above the hook, and the hook broke off, it would in theory keep the tube from sliding off. I'll do a couple of experiments and see what happens.

If it were set an inch or so above the hook, and the hook broke off, it would in theory keep the tube from sliding off. I'll do a couple of experiments and see what happens.

I can see that, if the fly floats, but if the fly is tied onto a metal tube, I assume the fly just sinks and you lose it anyway? Does anyone have tips on how to retain the tube portion of the fly even though the hook breaks off the tippet?

So, it said to go to a bigger fly. like a size 18 or a 20. Well, I can barely even see a size 18 or 20 hook, even with my reading glasses on, much less tie a fly on one.

Another method is to place your dubbing material in a sandwich bag. Then get a can of pressurized computer cleaner. Push the tube into the opening of the bag. Give the material a blast.

I just don't pre-blend a lot of dubbings- this was a special case. I make 'quick-blends' for the rope-dub for color variations, mottling, and graduations from light to dark, and I do those right on the core-material when I start the rope. On this occasion, the water blend was quick and easy and not messy at all, and I didn't have to find any brushes, so it took only about 5 minutes. The damp natural fur dubbing was something I wanted to try to rope with, so I got that in the bargain. Wet chinchilla is next on the list, then wet syn-seal. I'm thinking the chinchilla will make the perfect sowbug if I can get the segments tight enough, and the dampness may be the key. (Like some tiers steam their deer-hair before they pack it.) So, maybe for some things, the brush method is great- especially larger quantities for matching flies. But I'm always slow to discard something before I check out all of the possibilities. (I've learned that through 35 years of engineering.) I like the water-blend method and have some ideas and experimentation to do with damp dubbing. I'll even try the conditioner idea, but I don't think the rope-dub will care once the dubbing is damp, or even wet. h more ideas coming in. One thing I'm thinking of is that the wet-blend method will also tell me what natural furs I have that are naturally waterproof, and I'll make dry-fly blends with those. What about some natural oil, like preen-gland oil, added to the mix to make a dry-fly dubbing (instead of the conditioner)? We do have some doggie brushes upstairs, and a Shitzu and a calico cat. Next brushing will yeild some dubbings and I'll also try it your way with the brushes. I don't know what the old-fashioned wool cards are, though. So I'm not discarding your suggestion, as it's a good one. That's why you didn't rain on my parade. You just added another float to it.

I needed to blend some rabbit-dubbing with some ice-dub, flash dub, quick descent. I needed a good blend and no lumps in the blend. So I filled up a tupperware dish about the size of a coffee-cup with hot tap-water. I added the rabbit dubbing and then chopped up the other 3 dubbings over the container. I stirred until everything broke up and was a well blended soup, than I drained almost all of the water out, leaving the dubbing.

The result was a damp glob of well-blended hilited part-natural dubbing. Working with it damp gave me a very tight well-defined segment.

These will comprise hardscrabble lessons learned somewhere after beginner and before complete mastery. Most tiers that tiptoe around the craft use their fishing instincts when no instructor or book is available. Most of us started as dry fly fishermen and it’s not surprising that most new fly tiers attempt the dry fly more often than nymphs. … which is too bad. Tying nymphs is far more forgiving than the delicate and strictly proportioned Catskill dry. A novice tier can hold up some lumpy looking stonefly and if critiqued can respond with “ … well, all the stoneflies in _ Creek are fat.” … and if I had been the unfortunate to task the fellow – I’d blush like hell and backpedal in a hurry – never having fished over “fatty” Plecoptera … The Catskill dry is completely unforgiving. It’s territory and techniques have been practiced for more than a hundred years – and artistic license must be defended, even for expert tiers. One of those oft-mentioned-quickly-forgotten principles is made more difficult in the presence of the Perfect Feather … Above are two examples of the Perfect Feather; a foot long #16 grizzly saddle hackle, and a well marked (lefty) Wood duck flank feather with perfect tips. Both are treated with awe by the owning fly tier – and both can cause your fly to suffer cruelly if you’re not diligent… You’re a kid in a candy store, all those precious tips are in a straight line and unbroken. Giddy, you fail to clip the center stem because it’s perfect too. You forgot that all feathers are either a left or a right, even foot long saddles and untouched Wood duck flank. The wood duck will be your undoing twice. In the first case the stem will cock one wing to the left, and in the second, the stem center will retain 9 or 10 fibers attached and you’ll have to compensate by yanking fibers from the far wing to the near side to equalize that natural bulk. The picture at right shows the Perfect feather now clumped together with the center stem included. Note how all’s well – there’s no clue that anything is other than perfectly straight. You’re thinking of dumping all your “lemon-dyed mallard” – as the sight of the wood duck with its pristine coloration, fine markings, and perfect tips – make it so much more pleasurable to work with – even justifying the hideous cost to lay in a goodly supply. Unfortunately like Ulysses and the Sirens – their song is so beautiful, you’re ignoring the approaching rocks … Now you can see why you remove the center stem. The left side is thin and has a different angle than the right wing. The cause is simple. You had to pull the loose fibers over to the right side to balance the two clumps – leaving the left, just the stem section. It’s thin because the fibers are attached to the center spine and have no “give” to move around. We were lured onto those rocks consciously … The picture at right shows the same wing as before. I’ve removed the wing from the shank, clipped out the center stem and retied it back on. Note the difference with the picture above. the left wing is relaxed, the right wing is less dense and tighter – as you didn’t have to pull everything to that side to compensate for the stem on the left. That foot-long Grizzly saddle is just as bad. You’re used to applying six or eight turns of hackle to your dry flies, but the lure of virtually unlimited hackle means you add four or five extra wraps and crowd the head. Crowding means fibers trapped in the knot that’ll wick the head cement right into the eye. It’s the lure of the Perfect Feather. You won’t find it mentioned in any tome or DVD, and only your steely resolve to overcome it’s sweet song … Tags: wood duck flank, grizzly saddle, upright and divided wing, center stem, lure of the Perfect Feather, steely resolve, fly tying You are subscribed to email updates from Singlebarbed To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now.Email delivery powered by Google Google Inc., 20 West Kinzie, Chicago IL USA 60610 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Simply dropping into Wallmart in Blyth for a bit of shopping has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends. Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking voluptuous 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the car. They both start cleaning your windscreen. Their large firm young breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It's impossible not to look, especially with all the rain we have been having. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead ask you for a lift to another store, in my case, Tesco at Kenton. You agree and they both get in the back seat. On the way, they start undressing, and both get completely naked. Then, when you pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over your lap, kissing you, touching you intimately, and thrusting herself against you, while the other one steals your wallet! I had my wallet stolen April 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, and 29th. Also May 1st, 4th, twice on the 6th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this coming week-end.

Sounds like you had quite the time. I have always had trouble with fast currents. I only weight around 140 so even a light current will float me away without a wading stick. (yes it has happened).

I have just come home from a nice week of grayling fishing in the northern Swedish river Hårkan... with a wading experience richer. The only wader dip I had before this was in White River 2006. That one must have been in the America's Funniest Home Videos league. Tony can testify on that. Water that's hardly moving... barely one foot deep... with a gravel bottom flat as a pancake... stumble on virtually nothing and landing on my chest. This time the water was waist deep though and pushing quite hard. The bottom was rocky and far from wading friendly (and I had been close to fall several times during the week). It wasn't a without wading stick place (at least not to me, who is a careful dude). I heard the sound of a fish rising to my left and when I quickly turned my head to see where it was I felt a sligtht sign of losing balance. So I took a little step backwards... maybe 5-6... slipped and fell backwards... and suddenly I was under the water. After fighting a couple of seconds I managed to turn around so I had my toes facing the stones and when I got a grip between the stones the stream towards my chest helped me to get up again. I turned to get up from the water and in the very next step I slipped again and fell face down. This time it didn't come as the same shock kind of thing as the first fall and I was able to actually THINK about how to get up, so I got back up standing without major problem. I looked down and was going to reach for my wading stick and saw that the left pocket in my chest pack was empty... just as empty as the left big vest pocket. Downstream I saw three boxes getting smaller... a big compartment/slit foam box with dry flies, a slit foam box (swing leaf) of the same size with nymphs and another slit foam box with soft hackle flies. I had packed my boxes with flies before this trip, so there were more than a couple of flies disappearing there... and instincts took over. I started to run downstream (as fast as you can, jumping on rocks with water up to your waist). The water got deeper though and when it reached just below my chest I stumbled and fell again. I had just reached the boxes, but at the same time I also reached a hole where it suddenly got much deeper. Trying to stand up again wasn't on the menu anymore and I started to swim. Swimming with the rod in one hand and 'catching' all three boxes was impossible. I knew that much. So I started to hit them one by one to get them upstream and closer to land. Then I swam a bit towards land myself until they reached me and it was time for the next hit/swim move again. After a couple of times repeating this I was at a depth where I could stand up again and just collecting the boxes coming towards me... and finally focus on leaving the water. The night before this I had landed my (by far) largest grayling after a long fight on a #3 rod and in fast moving water,,, but I still think this was the took the prize as the adventure of the trip. How I actually managed to salvage all three boxes and the rod (and myself) is beyond me. I must have had Him on my side. But you can't have anything. Back in the wind shelter we sat by the fire and I had changed into some reserve clothing and my wading jacket that I didn't wore when I fell. My soaking wet fleece sweater was hanging on a nail on the wall... right above my opened backpack. The water was dripping RIGHT down in the pocket where I kept the cellphone... and that was the end of his adventure. :oP So, what have I learned from this trip? *Be careful where you put your feet in the water. (I already knew that, so it was more of a reminder.) But keep your pockets closed. Careful or not... eventually you will still fall. Having given the extra second to close the pocket after putting the box back down can turn out to be worth both the time and the effort. *When you have fallen, gotten up and are sitting there happy over still being alive and not having lost anything... it doesn't have to be over. Luck can turn quicker than you can imagine. Just because you keep stuff on land to keep it safe from the water doesn't have to mean that it's actually safe from the water. ;o) /Nick (Attached: 'drying_table.jpg') This email has been proactively scanned for all known and unknown viruses

Looking for tyers for this one as it will be my last for about six months as I start treatment in June. Anyway we have until 15 Jun to sign up and 30 Aug to complete the flys. Let's look at some more streamers (warmwater or coldwater) (trout, gills, steelhead - your decision). Self-addressed stamped envelops (MANDATORY), toe tags etc (all the normal rules or guideline) Again for our friends not in the US, send 3-6 extra flys and I will pay the postage back BUT you still need a self-addressed envelope. Also will need your email address so I can make a group list of all the tyers. This will make it easier to keep everyone up to date. I am off in the AM for a week of trolling for some trophy trout with my Chili Troll Fly. I will return next Thursday. Some of the lurkers and newly signed up - get your vises dusted off and get to tying. Deserttrout is out. May your GOD be your fishing partner.

Like I mentioned before, VFB'ers get a 25%+/- discount. I'm waiting for Jack Dennis to view the DVD and get his comments, one of which will be pricing suggestions. Since the rope-dub is a technique, not a pattern or recipe, the applications will be literally for thousands of patterns, both old ones up-graded with the rope-dub and new ones designed based on the rope-dub's capabilities. The bottom line, of course, is fishability. With buggy-looking segmentation and near bullet-proof durability, it's perfect for the flyfisher who wants great fishing flies. The speed and ease will allow that same tier to tie 5 times as many flies in the same time. If you want to design new patterns, it extends the realm of 'dubbung' 10-fold, allowing the use of materials for dubbings and styles of dubbing that haven't been seen before.

I was given a Fly Fisherman Magazine and it talked about this new (to me anyway) catch and release system. Essentially the fly or flies have no hook but are attached up the leader. When a fish takes the fly the fisherman sets the hook, and is snagged in the side of the mouth by small, barbless, specially designed catch and release hook. According to the article the system was tested for years on thousands of fish caught, and mortality rates were far greater since the fish seldom is hooked in sensitive areas, and the release is very quick. Have any of you seen or fished with this system? Or tied flies for it?
