[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
The third reason for my liking the joys of rod and reel is it's relative cheapness. - - - It has been my experience that fish usually strike fastest and hardest in inverse ratio to the amount of money spent on equipment. Allan Fish Uhh, Allan, what were the first two? JIMMY D --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

[VFB] re: vise ID
I must have missed Hans' post. Pragliola is an interesting character. Teaches (taught?) casting with short rods and high line speed (a la Wulff). Watched him repeatably cast a fly under a closed door with about an inch clearance - something to see. His school is (was?) in central Italy. cheers Paul Date: Fri, Oct 31 2008 8:17 am From: Niclas Runarsson A couple of guys here in Sweden had pin-on-reels with the same logotype and remembered the brand. The winner is... HANS WEILENMANN... with 'ROBERTO PRAGLIOLA'!!! Just a hunch can very well be enough. /Nick -- Paul Marriner Outdoor Writing Photography. Owner: Gale's End Press. Member: OWAA OWC.

[VFB] Re: Vise ID...
Nick, the one that I have, I bought at a fly swap many years ago. However, you can make one yourself using a tongue blade and a spring type clothespin glued to it. It can then be clamped to the front edge of your bench under the c-clamp. I have made several and have encouraged those in my fly tying classes to make one. It comes in handy for holding a hackle that is being used for tails.

[VFB] Using reading glasses to read a computer screen...(OFF topic from fishing/tying)
Folks: a lot of you saw my recent posts about my having to wear a high powered reading glasses, but then having to increase my font on emails and on my windows screens because I just could not read it. Well, I went to Wal Mart tonight and solved the problem..What you do is this, and they have a special place on the eye chart to do this. I wear a 3.50 X power reading glass. And I read books at a distance of anywhere from 8-10 inches away. But, at 18-22 inches away from the computer screen, it's VERY fuzzy.. So, I bought a pair of 1.75 power readers JUST for my computer (and maybe tying flies, just haven't tried that yet)..I can put those on and see the screen and the keyboard PERFECTLY. You have to check different powers to see what fits you, but the chart said the rule of thumb would be a reader than is half as strong as your book reader power.. Try it, you'll like it as the man in the commercial used to say, Chuck --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.
