  Allan,
  I’m not “little” yet by a long cry, but I don’t think Buggs would recognize 
me right off.  Did ya catch any gators on the fly? Should’a asked me for my 
‘gator-fly’. I would have sent it.  

  VFB List:
  A big howdy to all those remaining on the list.  How many are IOFF’ers? 

  My thoughts are with all that replied who are going through physical trials. 
As some have mentioned, physical trials are compounded when they are 
accompanied by tragic losses of ones close to us.

  This summer was a bust for us because we lost a dear friend- my wife’s best 
friend for 15 years, who with her husband were our camping buddies. She was a 
Type-1 diabetic and at 55 all of a sudden she was gone from a heart attack.  I 
made it to the river once when I was feeling up to it and got blown away by the 
wind, so fishing never really happened. Maybe next summer.

  I’d like to meister the ‘blizzard swap’, but I ‘m thinking work may be taking 
me to North Dakota soon and that means just surviving the winter.  I’m glad it 
wasn’t this week, as they are expecting temps of -50°F down to -70°F possibly 
(real, not wind chill). I’ve been in -62°F (1978 Jackson Hole- real temp.)- 
that was cold enough for me.  (FYI- Propane stops boiling at –43.6°F, so you 
could cut the top off a propane cylinder and look inside and see the propane 
liquid @ -44°F.) That’s cold.

  So if someone wants to step up and meister the swap, I’ll sign up with 
ice-dub, seal, and Yeti-hair caddis-fly nymphs. Hopefully there’s no more that 
12 as that is a nice size swap.

  I LIKE THAT!  Rope dubbed body with polar bear underfur, tailed with a pair 
of bald eagle biots and soft-hackled with a breast feather from a spotted owl.

  Count me in!!!

  Good to hear you're getting yr 'betes under control, losing weight, working 
on the tread-mill, getting more handsome, and gee, but you make me sick!!!  
   ;-) ;-) ;-) 


  As far as what's happenin?  We just got back from Florida.  We wandered the 
swamps, saw lots of birds and gators and caught lots of fish.  We had a really 
enjoyable 10 days down there.  Now, if I can find my long-johns, it'll be nice 
to be back home.

AW: [VFB] Roll call and winter fly-swap interest??

2013-12-02 Thread rene.zillm...@t-online.de

Hi Don,
I'm still here, lurking all the day.
My treadmill is my new fishing cabin. Bought it in Spring, was it redoing all summer till now - still a lot of work to do. Ok, not a real cabin. An old house, made from virgin stones. Build originally in 1830 - they say - , but there are no records from that time. It's located in a great and pictorial area of the Mosel (You might now, where the famous wine is grown.), Just outside the aerea where we get highwater every year. Less than 2 minutes walk to fish.

A couple of consequences.
1. I have to decide, go fishing in the afternoon or go to a winemaker and check out his latest results. Well, often it is first fishing, and than sit down and drink.
2. I have now 2 tying rooms. Need to divide my material
3. Need more rods to build. Next is a Streamer rod, planning a 2 hand rod
4. Need to learn, how to cast a 2 hand rod
5. Still exploring the hot spots to fish.
6. Must ty more streamer

if you like: http://hatzenport.de/
In German, but some nice pictures from this autumn. Hatzenport is the name of the little village.

To the swap: Great idea, polar bear might be tricky to send and get, but ice dubbing is ok, still have some material. Shall I ty an ice dubbed Micky Finn?

Rene

VFB Roll Call... Whos still here?

And let us know how you are doing if you feel like it.

Ill start. Got my diabetes on the run. Off insulin now (un-officially) and my BG readings are still all normal. Exercise and diet have been the key for me. Up to a mile on the treadmill now- walking, jogging, and wind-sprinting up to 6 mph so far with incline. Two months ago a 5 min. 2 mph level walk pooped me out. My BP is now normal after the workout and after the cool-down. Have lost 45 pounds so far (less of me to love). Who-hoo!

Anyone interested in fly swaps now that winter is here? Something with ice-dubbing? or polar bear?

DonO

Hi DonO,

I'm still here, just lurking. I've been busy with work for several months
with a lot of time away. Had a nice couple weeks of to fish for Stripers.
Now hoping to spend more time working near home so I can tie flies and
train hard for my black belt grading/test which starts in February.

I like the idea of a swap. Not sure about Polar bear use and sending. Ice
dubbing is fine. I see an Arctic theme here...penguin feathers? :-)

Hi DonO; 

Thrilled to here your health is improving! 

Been busy doing projects around the house, retaining walls, extending patio, 
building a wood fired pizza oven for wife, and cutting and splitting firewood.  
That and my wife decided I need to get my aerobic fitness up so we've been 
bicycling  at least twice a week.

I have been lurking and reading messages though.

An icedub swap sounds fun!

Re: [VFB] Roll call and winter fly-swap interest??

2013-12-02 Thread Bob
I am still here. Like many others been having health issues. If the swap is 
after Christmas  and a smaller number, I would be interested. I do have 
ice-dub and polar bear. it would be good to tye again. My back prevents me from 
sitting for very long, longer walks. So wading  fishing from a boat are out 
for me. As are marathon tying sessions

VFB Roll Call... Who’s still here? 
And let us know how you are doing if you feel like it. 
I’ll start. Got my diabetes on the run. Off insulin now (un-officially) and my 
BG readings are still all normal. Exercise and diet have been the key for me. 
Up to a mile on the treadmill now- walking, jogging, and wind-sprinting up to 6 
mph so far with incline. Two months ago a 5 min. 2 mph level walk pooped me 
out. My BP is now normal after the workout and after the cool-down. Have lost 
45 pounds so far (less of me to love). Who-hoo! 
Anyone interested in fly swaps now that winter is here? Something with 
ice-dubbing? or polar bear?

 Been busy doing projects around the house, retaining walls, extending patio,

Still here, still fishing and tying.  80 degrees in Austin today. Could 
be interested in a swap.  Shouldn't an ice dub swap come after rope dub 2?

2013-12-02 Thread Don Ordes
Allan,
I’m not “little” yet by a long cry, but I don’t think Buggs would recognize me 
right off.  Did ya catch any gators on the fly? Should’a asked me for my 
‘gator-fly’. I would have sent it.  

VFB List:
A big howdy to all those remaining on the list.  How many are IOFF’ers? 

My thoughts are with all that replied who are going through physical trials. As 
some have mentioned, physical trials are compounded when they are accompanied 
by tragic losses of ones close to us.

This summer was a bust for us because we lost a dear friend- my wife’s best 
friend for 15 years, who with her husband were our camping buddies. She was a 
Type-1 diabetic and at 55 all of a sudden she was gone from a heart attack.  I 
made it to the river once when I was feeling up to it and got blown away by the 
wind, so fishing never really happened. Maybe next summer.

I’d like to meister the ‘blizzard swap’, but I ‘m thinking work may be taking 
me to North Dakota soon and that means just surviving the winter.  I’m glad it 
wasn’t this week, as they are expecting temps of -50°F down to -70°F possibly 
(real, not wind chill). I’ve been in -62°F (1978 Jackson Hole- real temp.)- 
that was cold enough for me.  (FYI- Propane stops boiling at –43.6°F, so you 
could cut the top off a propane cylinder and look inside and see the propane 
liquid @ -44°F.) That’s cold.

So if someone wants to step up and meister the swap, I’ll sign up with ice-dub, 
seal, and Yeti-hair caddis-fly nymphs. Hopefully there’s no more that 12 as 
that is a nice size swap.

As far as what's happenin?  We just got back from Florida.  We wandered the

I read every post and am on line several times per day.
Am being a good boy and getting all my treatments  minding my
Dr's. I do feel good.
I do not post much but I do enjoy the list.
We might get a few flakes of the white stuff tonight.
What little we got over Thanksgiving all melted off so the ground at
my elevation is bare.  Do have a goodly amount at elevations.
Wishing everyone a safe December.

I'm keeping busy building a few Quads and am enjoying the heck out
of my time spent daily in the shop. I manage a few flies now and then.
My tying set up is right here in the front room and seldom gets straightened
out. I do not mind the mess and as there is no Mrs to complain and the dog
does not mind either. I manage to keep a hook in one of the two vises at
all times just in case I get the urge to create something.

VFB Roll Call...  Who’s still here?

And let us know how you are doing if you feel like it.  

I’ll start.  Got my diabetes on the run. Off insulin now (un-officially) and my 
BG readings are still all normal. Exercise and diet have been the key for me. 
Up to a mile on the treadmill now- walking, jogging, and wind-sprinting up to 6 
mph so far with incline. Two months ago a 5 min. 2 mph level walk pooped me 
out. My BP is now normal after the workout and after the cool-down. Have lost

I am still working at BYU Hawaii in Laie, HI.  But next year probably end
of May will retire.  We bought a home in Utah and will move back.  I hope I
can re-acclimate to the cold after all this time.  We want to be back
around family.  I am okay on health for now.  Hope to see some of you at
least after moving back.  Maybe a VFB conclave on the Green River?

I need an excuse to tie so I would join the swap.  I have no polar bear but
could sub something (snowshoe or arctic fox).  I have plenty of ice dubbing.

(or so they say).  So other than that, life is good.  Tie on the weekends
when not working.
I'm game for a swap if 12 or fewer flies, and if no PB is needed.  I have

those day's but the 4 oldest do, so we made it the family mission. 
There was a little more than we expected so we decided we were all doing 
pretty good and to help someone else for a change.


I want 2014 to be a better year, we each lost our remaining parent and

I'm still here.  Have a cranial mass lesion in left occipital lobe, 6.5mm, aka

routine.  As long as it doesn't grow, all is well; if it does grow, I'll be in 
the operating room for cranial neurosurgery within a week (or so they say).  So 
other than that, life is good.  Tie on the weekends when not working.   
I'm game for a swap if 12 or fewer flies, and if no PB is needed.  I have some 
Ice Dub and could tie up some Josh's White Lightnings nymphs in either purple 
or orange (prefer purple - caught a 13-14 brookie and an 18 rainbow on it 
this pattern this late september / early october).  Let me know when due, how 
many flies, and where to send.  I don't do well with hosting, but if someone

Good to hear you're getting yr 'betes under control, losing weight,

Since I cannot lift anything heavier then some dubbing, you may as we'll count

herl.

  Exercise and diet have been the key for me. Up to a mile on the
  treadmill now- walking, jogging, and wind-sprinting up to 6 mph
  so far with incline. Two months ago a 5 min. /2 mph/ /level
  walk/ pooped me out. My BP is now normal after the workout and
  after the cool-down. Have lost 45 pounds so far (less of me to
  love). Who-hoo!
  Anyone interested in *fly swaps* now that winter is here?
  Something with ice-dubbing? or polar bear?
