[VFB] Sowbug 2025 / asking for travel tips
Folks, maybe I do it again. Son is just talking me into going to the sowbug 2025 with him, and spend also some time for serious fishing. It is a father and son trip, not so much father and child. And my 4th visit at the event. We are in an very early phase of investigation, so the outcome is not clear, and we also might do something very different. Anyway: Current plan is to fly in one week before the Sowbug, fish a very nice area for trout or warmwater, go the Sowbug. We need to return on Saturday, so we could only spend 2 days at the sowbug. Currently we are looking for an area for this initial fishery, as it is early in the year we are looking somehow South. One Idea is: Fly to Memphis, drive to Great Smokey Mountains (Near Knoxville) Do some Fishing, drive to the Sowbug, Attend Sowbug and return to Germany via Memphis. A bit of driving, though. Any other ideas or suggestions? Thanks a lot Rene from Germany -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.

Re: [VFB] Old Farts Fly Swap.
I just tried sending my submission from my camera and ring light setup, and I'm not sure if it went through or not. Could someone please let me know? I'm not seeing anything sent from myself to the group, so I have no way of knowing if it went through. While here, I might as well say the recipe for the fly: Hook: 7xl streamer Body: orange floss Rib: 11 wraps silver oval lagartun tinsel Throat: 5 to 7 fronds bronze peacock herl overlaid first with yellow then white bucktail Wing: baby blue hackle "pad" overlaid with slightly smaller grizzle[y] hackle "pad", with excess baby blue showing above grizzle[y]. (The original says grizzle, I added the y, and I added the quotes around pad, as it means a pair of hackle tips) Cheek: Mallard flank or teal extended long, 1/2 to 3/4 the shank length (Optional, I omitted): Cheek overlay, jungle coque My fly's head is WAY more pronounced than I would have liked, but hey... I'm an old fart and the eyes are going on me... Hope the picture went through OK. -Pete On Sat, May 13, 2023, 3:12 AM 'KP' via VFB Mail wrote: > Love it.

Do all this with no worries about deadlines,

It can even be a photo of your favourite fly that

Re: [VFB] Old Farts Fly Swap.
Hi Keith, I'm wondering if we should not collect the fly images and create one post with all flies on our Facebook-group. Would be a new sort of swap/post-master. This would require a deadline for sure. Each tyer would later add the recipe / materials list in an comment for the fly. What are you and the others thinking?

Re: [VFB] Re: I'M still kickin'
Hi Pete, Congratulations on the Smurf degree sport. The Old Farts swap is as you describe it. Bit of this bit of that not sure about this not sure about that got lots of time to sort it. :-) Its a single photo posted to the thread Old Fart Swap along with the recipe. You dont even have to tie a new fly it can be one you use and tied years ago if you like. Suggested it like this so there are none of the usual costs and deadlines for flys to be posted out etc. and hopefully get the list buzzing again. Remember those days?? Probably not if you are an Old Fart! Just pick your fly take a photo add the recipe put that on the thread and bingo jobs done. Hope that all makes sense Schtroumpf à Lunettes !

After I graduate, I'll be taking a little time off to fly fish (of course!) and then will be hitting the job search like there's no tomorrow. The old farts swap intrigues me, but before I commit to participating, can someone give me more details? What type of fly, when is it due, do we simply post it to this list or do we email the picture(s) and recipe to a swapmeister/ host who posts everything en masse, those sorts of details?

Hello folks, Thought I would put this on a thread of its own. So the "rules" are: Tie ONE fly of your choice. Post a photo on thisa thread of the fly along with the recipe. Room for as many of you that want to join in. Age must be OVER 50 (days old!!) Do all this with no worries about deadlines, post costs, tying hundreds of flies etc etc. It can even be a photo of your favourite fly that you tied 20 years ago!!

Speaking of fishing, let us know what your new address is so we can
send you some flys to test and evaluate. I know that is a hard job

I know some water it will work on for sure. And with all this 10 foot 2weight fishing its prime ammo for that method I'd say. As for Air Head?

Hi Gary,
Good to hear from you sport. Yep I remember the photos Byard put out of his
dining room table covered in boxes of flys :-) I did 1 and 2 and still
have the hooks Byard got as a sample from one of the suppliers he used.
That was a great forum. I till have all the swap flies from all the swaps
we did. Tied copies but never used any of the flies. Did you do the Beer
Swap? Tie flies based on a local brew and send it in along with Beer
coasters. I ran that swap and it was such a great variety. DonO's Cherry
Bomb was literally that!!!
The only regret I have is not ever being able to get out to the Sowbug show
Tony Spezio ran. Could'nt afford it and now dont like the thought of all
the travel. Hey ho. Maybe I'll hop across the English Channel to Cologne
and see Rene!!
We should run an Old Farts Swap. No one under 50 allowed in! Hahaha
Take care
Keith

Ive been on the list for years even before the )2 Caddis Swap. Who
remembers that little swap. A Byard special for sure. I still have the
flies from both of those mega swaps plus lots of the others we all did.
Some great guys now gone but what times they were. I worked for Orvis

retirred 2021 and they closed down all but one of the stores in 22. See

still haven't finished moving which is a pain but we love the new
place and it's only 5-10 minuites from two city parks, which are both
stocked with bass and bluegills. And I did get to go fishing three
times last Spring and we did fish each trip. Then, three and six
months ago respectively, we welcomed two new grand daughters which
brings the total to 17 and 18 total and paw pawpaws job is to hold
and spoil them. We even have one great grand daughter. Now, I turn 65
tomorrow, but that don't seem old enough to be a GREAT grandfather
lol. Well, sorry for writing a BOOK here but trying to condense two
Yrs into one email ain't easy for a blow hard like me lol, Chuck

Re: [VFB] Re: I'M still kickin'
Hi Gary, Good to hear from you sport. Yep I remember the photos Byard put out of his dining room table covered in boxes of flys :-) I did 1 and 2 and still have the hooks Byard got as a sample from one of the suppliers he used. That was a great forum. I till have all the swap flies from all the swaps we did. Tied copies but never used any of the flies. Did you do the Beer Swap? Tie flies based on a local brew and send it in along with Beer coasters. I ran that swap and it was such a great variety. DonO's Cherry Bomb was literally that!!! The only regret I have is not ever being able to get out to the Sowbug show Tony Spezio ran. Could'nt afford it and now dont like the thought of all the travel. Hey ho. Maybe I'll hop across the English Channel to Cologne and see Rene!! We should run an Old Farts Swap. No one under 50 allowed in!

Hello Keith. Great to see your name on my screen again. I joined VFB right at the end of the 2nd 100 Caddis swap. I guess you could call me one of the Old Timers. More likely an Old Fart.

I am on this list and the FB group also. I don’t know anyone on this list, I met Peggy once at a show. I have been a member since Byard’s linesend days.

RE: [VFB] Any VFB'ers communicating presently via email?
I haven’t been very active for a while, whether it’s posting to the group, tying or even fishing. Looked @ my tying station the other day, thinking about tying some bass streamers. Only got out on the water a couple times last year, hopefully that will change. I’d be up for a virtual swap.

Re: [VFB] Chuck
Thanks Donna. I've been concerned about Chuck for a while. He was always very involved with VFB. He doesn't respond to my emails. He must be quite under the weather to not jump in with these latest posts. I'm thinking maybe trying a snail mail letter. Or a care package with some Bluegill flies.

Re: [VFB] Any VFB'ers communicating presently via email?
Tony showed it to me long before he moved down to Arkansas. It's been a part of my warm water box for many years. I tie from size 6 to 2/0 The one I'm tying is loosely based on the "gutless frog" It's weedless. It's basically Tony's pattern tied backward. I'll see if I can post a picture of it on the Facebook page.

Re: [VFB] Any VFB'ers communicating presently via email?
I'm not much of a Facebook person. So I don't usually post on it. I do "see" Rick Zieger of some of the fly fishing web sites I frequent. I'm still flailing away at the water. Doing mostly warm water fishing these days. Currently, working on some frogs for the upcoming bass season. I'll have to make a note to check out the Facebook page more often.

RE: [VFB] Any VFB'ers communicating presently via email?
I joined VFB in the early days when the Linesend fly shop was still in business. I did not post very often but did participate in a number of swaps. The most memorable swap was of Whiting midge saddles that were divided between the participants. I divided out two saddles equally to the group. I do not believe I had a Facebook account when that change was made and do not know the name it is under. Most of your names are familiar. I have spoken to some of you at the Symposium of Fly Fishing Shows. We still have a 4 wt. rod kit that Dave was selling to assemble.

Re: [VFB] Any VFB'ers communicating presently via email?
Hi Gary, thanks for waking up the group. I'm still here in Germany, still doing some fishing and occasionally tying. I've a ton of flies in my boxes and I'm seldom loosing some. On the bright side: I'm sometimes busy to bring the grandkids into tying and fishing. It is one of their favorites to sit down with grandpa and do some flies. Ok, in an age of 4 to 7 a lot of things can be improved. I will do my best to post at least a bit from time to time. I would be nice, if we can revive this group.

Re: [VFB] Any VFB'ers communicating presently via email?
Great to hear from you all. I did look in the mirror before I sent my complaint. I can empathize with you all. Last May I fell backwards off a creek bank from about 4 feet above the water. Ended with a collapsed L4. Still get little reminders (pain) to remind me to be more careful. And my wife reminds me, and reminds me. I have not been doing as much tying as I would like. I'm presently organizing my tying station. Too much stuff. I may have to donate a bunch at the next TU banquet. On Mon, Apr 10, 2023 at 11:54 PM Bob Hendry wrote: > I'm still hanging on.

Re: [VFB] Any VFB'ers communicating presently via email?
I have it set up to read the email, I have been doing more teaching fly tying than fishing. We moved from NH to Florida and picked the Nature Coast inside the coast line, so Have to drive to fish but avoid the flood insurance. I did go to Sowbug and meet with Rick briefly to see his weaving. Somewhere i ended up working with FFI Women Connect program so it's a lot of beginners for fly tying but fun, glad we are going away from Zoom, that was handy during the pandemic but not so great now.

Re: [VFB] Any VFB'ers communicating presently via email?
Yes Gary, I am one of the culprits of not posting. I have been very busy, and my computer died & I cannot afford a replacement at present. I am now using an 8 year old Mac Air with 11 " sreen but I had cataract surgery twice last year and I am having difficulty reading the small screen even with magnifying glasses. I am trying to get ready to go fishing but I need to do some work on my old 40+ years aluminum boat first ,but I have to do it outside and the weather is not cooperating as we have had a lot of rain. I hope to return to fly tying as well. The pandemic messed everything up for me. Nev Gosling -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.

But we’re having a cold front pass through with sustained winds of 70 km and gusts up to 90 km/. Minor damages with some trees down but nothing drastic. Here is wishing you and your family the most blessed Christmas ever. GLUCKISCH WEINACHTEN Allan -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.

Hi Allan, delivering Meals on Wheels sounds like presenting a fly to a fish. So, delivering MoW to Allan is... ok, I stop this nonsense. Nice to hear from you. Best wishes to the pcomming surgery.

Don’t know if I told you, I had a minor setback about 3 months ago. I have a fractured vertebra. I’m wearing a bra….er…..brace that helps a little but not a lot.

Re: [VFB] My messy fly tying bench
I’ve seen hooks similar to those when I worked for a time in a bait shop after I retired. They were larger hooks designed as weedless worm hooks. I never thought about using them for flies. I’d love to see a picture of that 2-headed monster. . I may have to get us some Never Snags. Don’t know if I told you, I had a minor setback about 3 months ago. I have a fractured vertebra. I’m wearing a bra….er…..brace that helps a little but not a lot. I’ve been trying to get in for surgery for 6 weeks and I finally got a call this morning. It will be the 15th of next month. I can only tie a couple of flies before the back says STOP. It’s not so much bending as it is holding my arms up. The fractured vertebra is between my shoulder blades. I fractured it by simply rolling over in bed to get up. Weak bones are no fun. I’m blaming it on radiation therapy - one of the two tumors I had was on the back of my rib cage near this vertebra. (The other was in my right lung.) Other than that I’m doing well. I’ve moved into a retirement community and am busy as ever. I delivered “Meals on Wheels” this morning and have to leave shortly to go accompany the retirement community chorus practice (you probably didn’t know that I play piano).

Re: [VFB] Great hooks, great price
Thanks for reminding me that I'm just returning to my roots. I grew up in West Virginia. Our house was set on a hillside 300 feet above the Guyandotte River. On the bank closest to us was a large patch of "Tenkara" poles. If needed, we would cut a few replacements in the spring, use them during the summer, put them in the shed during the winter, and bring them back out again in the spring. Even without varnishing them like the "store bought" ones they lasted a long time.

Re: [VFB] Great hooks, great price
Hi Rick: you need to check your typing as you are missing the “m” in company and you have an extra “o”, also the price is per 100 and not 1000. These are probably made in China as are Mustad. I prefer the premium Japanese made hooks as I have experienced light wire hooks that have straightened out resulting in lost fish. Maruto are a Japanese brand that I like but most of my small chironomid flies are now tied on the stronger Daiichi hooks. I realise that you are fishing for bluegills and crappie so one would not need extra strong hooks.

Re: [VFB] Don O memorial
Sorry Chuck. Apparently I am not able to post to the VFB for some strange reason but I will send whatever info I get in regards to the memorial for Don O to Allan Fish and will probably post it for me? You will be able to view the memorial on the “mykeeper.com” website very soon. Hope,hope,hope! Sent from my iPad Thank You, Alan Di Somma Mesa, Az.
