[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

[VFB] Re: Your first fly you tied
I guess I was about 10 years old when I saw some flys in a display case at my local sporting goods store in Union City, N.J. So I went home and got some pigeon feathers and some of my mom's blue and red threads and proceeded to make my very first fly. I still have that fly today and I always wanted to be a fly fisherman. My friends and I always used spinning gear and it wasn't until I moved to Phoenix, AZ. and joined a flyfishing club. A San Carlos Apache Indian taught me how to tie. phxflyt...@cox.net A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother. - Original Message - From: John C.

[VFB] Re: Your first fly you tied
Just started tying a few years ago. It was a blood worm from the beginning of Randall kaufmann's little beginning fly tying booklet.

[VFB] Re: Your first fly you tied
hahaha. I remember when I first came to this group. Had no money to even buy a starter kit, so I build a vise by drilling a hole into the bottom of a cast iron skillet, putting a alligator clip on a bolt through that hole. Then, making bobbins out of old coat hangers, straws, and tape LOL.. And used my wife's sewing thread of course, Chuck - Original Message - From: Alan Di Somma To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 10:16 AM Subject: [VFB] Re: Your first fly you tied I guess I was about 10 years old when I saw some flys in a display case at my local sporting goods store in Union City, N.J.

[VFB] Did someone actually pen this phrase?
. There is a phrase going around, and I can only paraphrase it: The average thing a trout eats is fuzzy, brown, and 5/8 long. Something like that, anyhow. Does anyone recall someone, who is credited, with the description? What is the exact wording? Appreciate any response, thanks.

Wes, I know that this phrase is in our random quote base on freestateflyfishers.com I did get most of these quotes from Jimmy D Moore. He may be able to attribute the author. --- On Sat, 12/20/08, Wes Wada wada@gmail.com wrote: From: Wes Wada wada@gmail.com Subject: [VFB] Did someone actually pen this phrase?
