I will be there tying as well. I plan on demo-ing the Swiss vise by tying the same pattern on a standard hook, as well as a tube (since it converts into a tube vise) Sent from my iPhone On Nov 21, 2010, at 8:10 AM, flytierodwrap wrote: > It has been a LONG time since I have posted, or have been in a swap. > But just an FYI- > > The Great Lakes Council of the Federation of Fly Fishers will host the > 11th Annual Fly Tying Exposition at the Holt High School in Holt, > Michigan on Saturday, December 4, 2010.

[VFB] bears and guns
Every so often a thread goes about inquiring the type of protection the vfb list uses in bear country. Dono likes to carry a small cannon. Myself, I always bring a friend who cannot run as fast as I can. I looked up a few stats just for curiousities sake to try and put the risk into perspective. >From 1900 to 1985 there were 20 recorded deaths by bears in Alaska. From 1975 >to 1985 there were 19 recorded deaths caused by dogs. >From 1991 to 2000, 889 people drowned while fishing in Canada. How many wear a >PFD while angling? In 1998 in the United States 1501 deaths were caused by the accidental discharge of a fire arm. Probably more likely to shoot yourself or another angler than a bear According to the US weather network 73 Americans are killed by lightning each year. Graphite conducts electricity. Seems to me the least of our worries while fishing should be bears. Regards Mel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.

Hoping to be there - life has been a bit crazy, so it would be a good diversion.

Re: [VFB] bears and guns
What's the statistics of attacking bears being killed or scared off by armed people who saved themselves or others? I wanna be in that statistic.

Re: [VFB] bears and guns
I remember getting that photo. Something was wrong with the bear, but it did attack him, I think. DonO It was absolutely starving. Whether it was after Greg or his dogs, doesn't matter. a. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
