[VFB] Re: Moffitt Angling System
Here's the Moffit System web site. Not too fleshed-out yet, but gives some idea about what the system is like. http://www.moffittangling.com/control/main Wes Wada Bend, Oregon --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

I've never seen it, I'll have to look into it and tie a few up just to try it. John Bennett Engineer Tech W-(801)513-9001 F-(801)728-1970 E- jcbenn...@lifetime.com From: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-m...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Davenport Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2009 12:18 PM To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Subject: [VFB] Moffitt Angling System Now to get off of the subject of me and onto flyfishing. I was given a Fly Fisherman Magazine and it talked about this new (to me anyway) catch and release system. Essentially the fly or flies have no hook but are attached up the leader. When a fish takes the fly the fisherman sets the hook, and is snagged in the side of the mouth by small, barbless, specially designed catch and release hook. According to the article the system was tested for years on thousands of fish caught, and mortality rates were far greater since the fish seldom is hooked in sensitive areas, and the release is very quick. Have any of you seen or fished with this system? Or tied flies for it?

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
So a salmon boils at the surface not too far from where you think your fly will be, a few inches below the water. You are now expected to give the fish a second? Two seconds? Or do you determinedly do as the fly trout fishers are advised and shout, God save the Queen!? Malcolm Greenhalgh º ** JIMMY D.
