Denny, long time no hear, or see. Today has been a good day for VFB. Old and new friends showing up and lots of memories sparked. I for one need to get back to the bench soon. Right now there is no air conditioning in the family room so it is totally unbearable most of the time.
Do combine my fly fishing with my Appleseed Rifle instruction when I can. Nothing like a couple of 8" rainbows in the skillet after a great day of shooting and history. Just wish it could be more often. Wish we could get some way to gather everyone together, say in northern NM for a few days of camping, fishing and lies...;-) Jimi USCG ITWPATWT 100% Vet I don't remember any expiration Date on my Oath to Service...

Go here and get ready NOW, while you can. http://deserteaglefarms.myefoods.com/ RWVA Instructor, www.appleseedinfo.org go here and learn what you must do to be a true patriot, not the shooting only, but the history lesson you will learn about "WHY" you have the "Freedom" that you do enjoy now. "The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." G.K. Chesterton "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty". Thomas Jefferson "If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense...." Alexander Hamilton George Washington didn't use his right to free speech to defeat the British, he shot them! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Conranch" <de...@conranch.com> To: <vfb-mail@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2011 7:25 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Some juice-bug experiments- bloody scuds It is good to be back on VFB. Some time back I was finding I just did not have the time. Recently I have modified my living a bit and do have more time I can devote to keeping contact with friends. Many of the board members do not know me. I have been around forever (yep, one of the older guys). I do own Conranch Hackle and have tied and fly fished for over 66 years. Still learnin. I like to tie in a red tag on a lot of my dry flies. I'm not sure if the fish like it but I do. I manage to catch more than my share. The past two seasons I have been fishing more nymphs & soft hackle flies. I do not wade well any more so fish my high Mtn Kettle lakes from a toon, for all of the different specie of trout. Added a new pair of Apollo Bio Pro fins and love them. Might be a bit pricey but they work for me. It is good to be back.
