Hi Tony, i'll be staying at a friends house right there by that big green bridge over the Northfork, just upstream from where it dumps into the White. Gonna save me at least 5 times $85 plus tax, minus a few Chinese dinners, lol. That outta cover a couple framed A.S. flies, lol. He's got it all planned out as to where we can fish if the generators are going full tilt. I'd also like to try out the Little Red, .....looked pretty darn fishey to me on the sections i could see from the road on the way back to the (Little Rock) airport. mark

Gee, now you flatter me. I used to use the VMC, they seemed to be OK. Then the last ones I got would break in the vise or when I hooked a fish. I think I still have some in my junk stuff that I did not discard.
Since we had all that rain a month or so ago, they have running 8 units round the clock. Too much water for fly fishing. Last time I was able to wade fish was New Year's day
See you in a few weeks.

I quit using the VMC hooks over 10 years ago. Too brittle. Tony

Dead right Don, the Tiemco 32 is the size of a Mustad 28. Now that i think of it, i may have some of those VMC hooks. If i can find them. Misa brought back some hooks from France after the chanpionships there, three years back. I remember they were barbless. Might be the same company.
I'll let you know if i find them. mark.....

VMC makes the smallest hooks I've ever been able to find, #34's. Smaller
bend than a Mustad #32, but a longer shank, like a streamer hook. Spade
eye, shaped and hardened violin or piano wire, barbless. Cool hook, tough
to tie on, too.
The Mustad is a forged hook, barbed, spade eye, and is much easier to tie
on.
BTW, the Tiemco #32 is not even in the same class- it's the size of Mustad
#28.

Ron Griffin. I've known him a few years from FAOL. He was at the Sowbug last
year too. He's a nurse in a rest home, some kind of an administrator too.
Fishes a lot. I'm still not sure which truck i'm bring yet. Need to get some
electrical things fixed on the fishing truck. Right now i can't drive it at
night, cause i never know when i'll have no tailights, horn and or dash
lights. Gotta get that fixed. mark
