J.B., i've heard bout all the antics that go on there..........not my cup of tea.

In the upper mile & a half, when the water’s low enough to wade, there can be twenty to thirty fish using you as a current break. If you stand still too long, the larger fish will bump your ankles trying to get you to move so you’ll turn the rocks. Last year the water was high most of the time & except for one day the only time we could wade was from 5 AM until 7 or 7:30. Still caught lots of fish, so you should have fun. Watch for the fish slappers in the outlets near the dam, you’ll know what I’m talking about when you see them.

Mark Healing Waters is a GREAT ORG. I have sent them over 1000 flies from swaps of the last three years. Any extras are sent as well as most of the ones swapped. Also have donated over 2k in supplies, books tools for the VA in Reno. When I get better, I plan on teaching tying some simple flys (buggers. streamers, the usual, elk hair caddis, bead head nymphs and some mini jigs). Just a side note: Over 1/2 of all veterans in the VA medical system have or have had Hep C. There are other disibilites that agent orange is responsible also.

Subject: RE: [VFB] Re: QFTD Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:39:34 -0600 TKX. for the warning J.B. Misako and i are going to be part of a team working for Project Healing Waters from Sept. 18th thru the 21st on Taneycomo and in a classroom of some sort. We're teaching fly casting, fly fishing and fly tying to bout 50 vets. Should be fun and our lodging and food are bein' taken care of. Was a definate no-brainer when they contacted us. I've heard the stories of big browns smackin' into people night fishin' there. We're in Branson farily often, but it'll be our first time to fish Taneycomo. Hope the vets do well.

Perhaps that impression would be lessened if nonfishers understood more about wild water. Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. The average visitor driving through Yellowstone sees no farther than the surface of the water. At best the lakes and streams are mirrors reflecting the surrounding scenery. For the alert fisherman, especially the fly fisherman, the surface is not a mirror but a window. " Paul Schullery "Mountain Time" Rick No virus found in this incoming message.
