Well, Sowbug is just over. The last of the friends just left my house. There had been low water all week but I was not able to fish for personal reasons. Most that were here caught a lot of trout, some up to 24 Inches. The gang started getting here the Saturday before the show. We had nice weather all week till last night. We had some snow move in and a cold rain. I had planned on fishing with a few of the list members this morning but the rain was too cold and heavy. The Sowbug show went real well, 100+ tyers and lot of people attending. Quire a few of the list members were here. Allan and Buck were the last to leave about 20 minuets ago. Will cut this off now, reports from other members that attended I am sure will be posted. Wayne Blake Hedges came all the way from MD. It was one of the best weeks we have had in a good while. It was one good three day show. Arkansas Tony

I forgot how heavy that rod is. As w/ almost every time I made it out last fall, winds were pretty brisk. Used a 9’ 3x leader & 3x Frog Hair tippet just in case the bass were busting or I hooked another big cat. I spent half of my early fishing undoing wind knots. Hence, the first verse of the 20 Knot Wind, Wind Knot Blues: I was flinging a bugger into a pretty stiff wind, & my 3x frog hair was looking mighty thin. The fishing was fine, but I was paying my dues w/ the 20 knot wind, wind knot blues. J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
