Re: [VFB] Tampa
Ft Desoto has many spots to wade fish. This is a good time of the year for reds and trout. You might also get a shot at a sheepshead. I generally get three or four on flys each winter. Anything that looks like a small crab/shrimp( browns, olives and some orange). If you wade the beach there are pompano and whiting and trout. The pomps like small Clousers in brownish combo's. There are also wading area's on the approach to the Skyway Bridge. If you are so inclined, call me when you get in. I'll give you my number on my email address off site.

'Casting well' can be thought of like using a pool cue to shoot pool. Cues come in various weights and qualities, but your ability to shoot well and run the table does not lie on the quality of the que. Of course, a better cue makes for a more enjoyable shooting experience, but few beginners would notice or could make use of the fine nuances of a high-end expensive cue. A better cue can carry out the extreme english needed for some shots, but the knowledge has to be there to start. A great shooter can run the table with a broom stick, but prefers to shoot with a $1000 cue. Fly-casting and fly-fishing is like that. With a little tutoring and some basic skills and rules, anyone can play the game with that 'bar-rod'. But as one's skills and fishing knowledge grow, better equipment is helpful and more enjoyable in 'running the river'. Problem is, unlike pool balls, fish have brains and programming and move around and turn on and off and swim away and... One more note: Just as a pool shooter has a breaking cue, a jumping cue, and a shooting cue with spare tips, so a well-equipped flyfisher would be advisded. Using your fine $700 5wt. to cast heavy weighted nymphs or split shot, risking getting the rod dinged up by them (weak spot = break spot), is like doing that vertical-jamb-masse-shot with your best shooting cue. Get a long 6 or 7 wt. 'cheap' rod with a fast action and proper line to lift and cast that weighted wet bugger and haul up that lunker. And then swap to that fine 5wt for the evening rise of size 22PMDs. My 2 cents... DonO - Original Message - From: Jimmy D.

The only things I do with the actual camera is switching it on and off. Very comfortable. With an instant high resolution preview on the monitor, I will see at once if it's good or not. When the lights are fixed, settings OK... I click for a hard picture, that goes straight into the folder on the computer, without taking any children pictures space on the memory card. LOL Very handy... especially when doing step-by-steps. With the mouse beside the vise I take a picture when I want and can see directly if it's OK to move on or to take a new one. /Nick -Ursprungligt meddelande- *Från:* vfb-mail@googlegroups.com mailto:vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-mail@googlegroups.com mailto:vfb-mail@googlegroups.com] *För *Taylor, Lance *Skickat:* den 18 december 2009 19:32 *Till:* vfb-mail@googlegroups.com mailto:vfb-mail@googlegroups.com *Ämne:* [VFB] RE: Photographing Flies I noticed you can't view the images on the FACA link unless you are logged in, so see also link to a simillar thread with pics of my setup here on NLFTF. However, that previous link is where I hatched the idear for this contraption, if you want the history behind it. Yeah, I really should patent this one day. What I did was have a camera bracket custom made for my vice, like a bobbin holder but cooler... and can also serve as that.

It seems that the smallest available is size 8 if you can locate some I could use some size 10 if I could find them. I need them to tie a small euphasid (krill) pattern for pink salmon in the saltwater. If push come to shove, I will have to tie on regular hooks but they will rust out in no time.

[VFB] Re: florida weather
The June weather is warm with a reasonable chance of afternoon showers. Fishing is generally good. Ft Myers is close to many saltwater fishing locations; Boca Grande, Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, Englewood and the Gasparilla Islands. Tarpon, Snook, Trout etc. Regards, Les Bell - Original Message - From: Brian Burgess To: vfb Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 5:41 AM Subject: [VFB] florida weather Hi Gang I am thinking of going to Fort Myers for a fishing trip in June but was not sure what the weather is like that time of year. dont want to go all the way from England if it is going to be wet all day ( I can stay here for that ) Also what is the fishing like at that time ?

[VFB] Re: Your first fly you tied
My first was a Brown and Yellow Bee pattern about a size 10 for a back pack trip into the Cohutta Wilderness Area, Georgia, in 1978. Caught a few Brookies on it. I still have it. - Original Message - From: Pacres pac...@gmail.com To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 11:16 AM Subject: [VFB] Re: Your first fly you tied My first was the ugliest thing ever. I didn't have a pattern to follow, just tied what I thought a fly should look like. I had not even started fly fishing, so I was really just guessing. It turned out to be some sort of Wolly Worm Mutant, and I keep it in a film canister and when I have a hard time tieing flies, I take a look to see how far I have come. :) On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 10:54 AM, Desert Eagle j...@hdc-nm.com wrote: Mine was a Mudler Minnow, with a west Texas twist, from the pattern in McClain's Standard Fishing Encyclopedia. It caught my very first trout, a Brown, on the north fork of the south Platt river in Colorado about 1968. Have several of the decimated kin in my very first fly box, but the first was lost to a rock fish along that same river a few days later. Very fond memories. Thanks for helping me remember. Jimi USCG ITWPATWT 100% Vet Here is an interesting question. What was your first fly that you tied? Do you still have it? Do you still tie that same pattern and use it for fishing. My first fly (I'll have to post a picture of it) was a Mickey Finn Streamer w/ Peacock tied over the top. I still have it displayed in a case in our front room. People once and awhile will ask about it. It was the first fly that a beginner fly tying kit instructed me to tie.
