[VFB] Re: FIRST Traditional Winged Wet Fly Swap
I found this swap to be quite a challenge as I have not tied winged wet flies for a very long time. I experienced some difficulty in placing the beard hackle or collar without crowding the eye and sometimes the wing did not go as planned. You are correct, it is a lost art (at least for me).

I experienced some difficulty in placing the beard hackle or collar without crowding the eye and sometimes the wing did not go as planned. You are correct, it is a lost art (at least for me).

[VFB] Single Hook Restriction.
Yes Mike: In all waters be it river or lake although when fishing alone in a boat, a person can use two rods each with a single hook. In all rivers and streams, a barbless hook must be used. Certain lakes also have the barbless restriction. Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.C. Canada Neville, Is that true everywhere in BC and at all times? Just curious.

[VFB] Fishing last Thursday and Friday
Finally getting time to post this. We have family here from N.J. and Oklahoma. They are grand kids and great Grand Kids.along with the adults. The White river has been running a lot of water so I was not able to take the kids out in the boat to fish. On Thursday afternoon we decided to check out the lake. It was still high but we did find a spot where the kids could fish. It was a bit steep and brushy. Checked out the brush and let the kids get down to the water. The lake water was over a lot of brush that is normally out of the water so a lot of hang ups were expected. We rigged up the kids who range in age from five to nine, with spinning rods bobbers and worms. They started catching Bluegills almost at once. One of the four year old Great Grand Twin caught a real nice Largmouth about 12. I rigged up my fly rod, tied on a Peacock and Bronze and started catching Gills from about the second cast. I did get hooked up in the underwater brush and lost a couple of flies. The kids did too but we were able to fish. I got about 10 gills before we quit, it was just getting too hot. My son in law wanted to fish so I told him we would check out Crooked Creek early Saturday morning. The Creek had been too high to fish for a while. We drove over to the creek early Friday morning and found it still high but it was wadeable, you had to be careful. I was using my 7/9 bamboo rod and my son in law was using the 7' bamboo rod I made for him 10 years ago.We tied on a couple of Peacock and Bronze and got in the creek. Before I started to cast, my son on law was already on to fish. In spite of the creek being a bit high, swift current and a bit colored, we were catching a good number of Gills. Then Steve got the first Small Mouth, it was not a very big one but his first. A bit later I got a Smallie, Then some more gills and he caught another Smallmouth about 9.. Working up the creek, we would hit hot spots that would yield 8 to 10 Gills. I was only able to get up to the first riffle but Steve went up to the Carp hole. He got into a couple of Small Mouths up there. He said he could see some real large Smallies but could not entice them. It was starting to get hot so I was about ready to head back to the van. I got back and took off my waders and thought Steve was right behind me. I was getting worried after about a half hour and was going to go back to the creek and check on him. I finally saw him coming through the brush. He was on his way back down when he hit a hole that was producing fish. He told me he took about 30 Gills from that one hole.. We lost count long before we quit but I know we took over 100 gills and Smallmouths along with a Roach and a couple of Goggle Eyes in the 4 1/2 hours we fished. It was a good day for both of us.

[VFB] Re: Fishing last Thursday and Friday
Jim,
All were released, we did have some that were hand size.
I have an agreement with the owner of that stretch of creek, all fish will be
released. Even if I did not have that agreement, I would still release any fish
I catch. Two real good catfish places in the area to eat fish and I don't have
to clean or cook them. LOL
Several list members have fished there with me.

So there I was, inspired by Tony’s wonderful tale, getting ready to load up the Jeep (or rather getting ready to unload the back so I could load my rod pack) when it started raining. Rain doesn’t usually bother me, so I went back in to get rain gear when It started pouring. That didn’t bother me as much, so I went back to change my footwear, but there’s something about waving 8 ½ feet of carbon around when there’s lightning that gave me pause… From: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-m...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Anthony Spezio Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 2:00 PM To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Cc: flyfishingandflytyingforpanf...@yahoogroups.com Subject: [VFB] Fishing last Thursday and Friday Finally getting time to post this.

The White river has been running a lot of water so I was not able to take the kids out in the boat to fish. On Thursday afternoon we decided to check out the lake. It was still high but we did find a spot where the kids could fish. It was a bit steep and brushy. Checked out the brush and let the kids get down to the water. The lake water was over a lot of brush that is normally out of the water so a lot of hang ups were expected. We rigged up the kids who range in age from five to nine, with spinning rods bobbers and worms. They started catching Bluegills almost at once. One of the four year old Great Grand Twin caught a real nice Largmouth about 12. I rigged up my fly rod, tied on a Peacock and Bronze and started catching Gills from about the second cast. I did get hooked up in the underwater brush and lost a couple of flies. The kids did too but we were able to fish. I got about 10 gills before we quit, it was just getting too hot. My son in law wanted to fish so I told him we would check out Crooked Creek early Saturday morning. The Creek had been too high to fish for a while. We drove over to the creek early Friday morning and found it still high but it was wadeable, you had to be careful. I was using my 7/9 bamboo rod and my son in law was using the 7' bamboo rod I made for him 10 years ago.We tied on a couple of Peacock and Bronze and got in the creek. Before I started to cast, my son on law was already on to fish. In spite of the creek being a bit high, swift current and a bit colored, we were catching a good number of Gills. Then Steve got the first Small Mouth, it was not a very big one but his first. A bit later I got a Smallie, Then some more gills and he caught another Smallmouth about 9.. Working up the creek, we would hit hot spots that would yield 8 to 10 Gills. I was only able to get up to the first riffle but Steve went up to the Carp hole. He got into a couple of Small Mouths up there. He said he could see some real large Smallies but could not entice them. It was starting to get hot so I was about ready to head back to the van. I got back and took off my waders and thought Steve was right behind me. I was getting worried after about a half hour and was going to go back to the creek and check on him. I finally saw him coming through the brush. He was on his way back down when he hit a hole that was producing fish. He told me he took about 30 Gills from that one hole.. We lost count long before we quit but I know we took over 100 gills and Smallmouths along with a Roach and a couple of Goggle Eyes in the 4 1/2 hours we fished. It was a good day for both of us.

Re: FW: [VFB] Re: FIRST Traditional Winged Wet Fly Swap
I was supposed to say the salmonfly hatch on the Snake. On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 12:47 PM, Michael Blissflyfish...@gmail.com wrote: Just twice. We were planning another this year swapping homes with friends. But they had problems and then we did. So maybe next year. I try every year to go to Montana/Wyo/Id. Which we do in September. This year I had meetings in Idaho in May so I got an extra treat. I actually caught the salmon fly hatch. That was something. I also fished the Beaverhead, Warm and Big Hole. I love the Park (Yellowstone). So getting up there is always regenerating for me.

[VFB] Re: Single Hook Restriction.
sounds like some sound conservation measures to me. Wish we could get rid of the treble hooks. Their original purpose was to hold bait, not as they are used now. Gary S - Original Message - From: Neville Gosling nev.gosl...@shaw.ca To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 2:53 PM Subject: [VFB] Single Hook Restriction. Yes Mike: In all waters be it river or lake although when fishing alone in a boat, a person can use two rods each with a single hook. In all rivers and streams, a barbless hook must be used. Certain lakes also have the barbless restriction. Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.C. Canada Neville, Is that true everywhere in BC and at all times? Just curious.
