Re: [VFB] Hurricane Isaac now sharpening hook.
I have my nippers and hook hone on a 8 cord with a dropper loop in the middle. The loop is attached to a zinger. When I tie on a fly and clip the tag end of the leader, the hone is right at hand as a reminder to touch up the hook point.

RE: [VFB] Hurricane Isaac
I’ve got a flat stone w/ a V cut into it a rod, also w/ a V. The rod fits into a small holster, the V helps to keep the hook aligned, especially small ones even w/ a chisel point you can do all four edges two @ a time.

Re: [VFB] Hurricane Isaac
My son and two of his friends are here.and they wanted to Trout Fish. There was a lull in the rain and we went out. Then things seemed to go wrong. Got all the stuff down to the boat and got ready to go. I hit the started and the outboard turned over and did not start. Checked the fuel and every thing else, all looked good. Hit the starter button and nothing, not even a click.. Pulled on the pull start and it would not start. I just spent 250.00 having it checked out at the Marina a month ago.. Let it sit and tried pulling it again and it finally kicked off. We finally got out of the dock and up to Tucker. The boys got out and waded, I had to fish from the boat, I just can't wade anymore. Two of them were using spinning rods and my son was using the bamboo Fly rod I made for him. On the first cast one of his friends got a 17 Brown. A few casts later he got a Rainbow. His other friend got a Rainbow in the next few minuets. I rigged up with a Chili Pepper and motered up the river about 100 feet. A few casts and I missed a hit. A few more casts and missed another one. I changed to a floating ant. Nothing hit it then started to drizzle. Changed back to the Chili Pepper because I was in faster deeper water. I had two more hits but no hook ups. By then the drizzle turned into a hard rain. My son on the fly rod caught a couple of bows and broke off one.. Needless to say by the time I collected all the guys back in the boat I was totally soaked. I let the outboard run all the time we were on the river hoping it would charge the battery. When we got back to the dock and shut down, I tried the starter again. Nothing doing. My son and his friends removed the battery and took it to be checked.. The battery was totally dead. Got a new battery and will give it another go later. This is the first time in years that I have fished Tucker and not caught a fish. I am thinking, I need to check the hook point on that fly, I missed too many fish on it.

Re: [VFB] Hurricane Isaac
Tony, I'd say you had a very successful day. The main thing was for them to catch fish, right? You accomplished that. Sometimes the guide doesn't need to catch any. And at least you got back to the house safely and the problem was a simple dead battery. :-P JIMMY D Anthony Spezio wrote: -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] Hurricane Isaac
Even the worst day spent fishing is still better than a good day working. It sounds like time well spent with family.

Re: [VFB] Hurricane Isaac
My sons two friends never fished at Tucker and one never caught a trout till now. I was happy they caught fish. Checked the fly I was using, the very tip of the point is blunt.

Re: [VFB] Hurricane Isaac
It was an old Chili Pepper and I had used it a lot. If you might remember the last fishing post a couple of weeks ago I mentioned I lost some fish. It was on that same Chili pepper. I think it is time to tie a few more for myself.

This author carried a file and after a period of nymphing would resharpen the hook. I am not as diligent as I should be on checking that and it sounds like my mentor Tony isn't either.
