[VFB] First fly I tied

2008-12-21 Thread Jimmy D. Moore

My first fly was a bream popper. For my 12th birthday I got a Herter's 
Fly Tying Kit with all the tools, plus a bunch of feathers and an 
assortment of hooks. But . . . . there weren't any corks, which I needed 
for my bream popper. Mom had an old bottle of Castor Oil, which had a 
small cork in it.  There was only a teaspoon left, so she poured it out 
and gave me the cork. ( Yes, I know, cork stoppers in medicine bottles 
are way before most of your times.) :-P   Anyway, I tied up a neat 
little bream fly, painted it yellow, with black doll's eyes glued on. 
 Caught a lot of bream ( shellcrackers, bluegills, etc.)

Have a Goodun!

[VFB] Re: QUOTE FOR THE DAY - Brown Fuzzy

2008-12-21 Thread Wes Wada

Yeah, thanks Jimmy for looking that one up.  I will be teaching a
couple of the sessions of the local fly club's fly tying classes, and
wanted to use the quote for its 'perspective'.

It is good to know where it comes from.
