Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:48:20 -0600 for the list... Mike, i've always been told/taught, that it's best to NEVER let your leader come inside the tiptop when landing fish. Personally i stick to that..no matter...what. If i loose a fish because i can't get it close enough to netso be itfish are like street cars...you miss one, you'll catch another. Gettin' a pic with that monster is nothin' but an ego tripwho cares. i don't fish to "catch".there are way to many much more important reason to fish. Fly fishin', most of all.is so much MORE, about a myrid of things other than catchin'.most the time nowdays.i don't even remember to attach my net to my vest.and if at all possible, i try to release all fish without ever touchin' 'em, if i can. Occasionally, when i do take a (stocked) fish to eat.(NEVER a wild fish), i'll find a way to land 'em. Then, i'll WACK 'em immediately. Main thing i never wanna do, is get a "kink" or hard to straighten-out bend in my leader.those things can spook a fish in a second. When walking from place to place on the river.with your leader reeled up.ALWAYS make SURE you have some line inside the tip-top, and wrap your leader around the reel bringing the fly up to the highest guide nessessary to accomplish this. NEVER have your leader "bent" on the tip-top. VERY easy to do an instant release and throw a QUICK cast that way as well. mark. > Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:01:19 -1000 > Subject: [VFB] Re: Braided nylon loop connector material? > From: flyfish...@gmail.com > To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com > > > This is an interesting item.

[VFB] Re: Braided nylon loop connector material?
This is an interesting item. I use longer leaders for dry fly fishing and have little problems with them. I personally prefer something in the 9-11" (with tippet) for nymphing. It probably should make little difference but when landing a fish you have to get him to you so the connection between the flyline and the leader must pass through the guides no matter what the length of the leader - right? I am missing something here but can't visualize it. I need to get out and do some fishing. Mike On Wed, Apr 15, 2009 at 8:35 AM, Wes Wada wrote: > > Mike, > > I normally fish with 11' leaders.

[VFB] Re: Braided nylon loop connector material?
The trick here to learn is that, when you raise your rod with one hand and reach for the fish/leader with the other, turn your rod so the the reel is up, not down or sideways. If you have snake guides on the rod, the knots in your connections will slip through moving against the rod, not the guides, should the fish decide to make another run. Try it.

[VFB] Re: Braided nylon loop connector material?
Mike, I normally fish with 11' leaders. That length allows me to net a fish without bringing the line/leader connection through the tip top guide. Once that knot or loop is inside the guides, you have significantly increased the odds you will lose the fish! It just takes a momentary hangup of the knot in the guides to break light tippets. I have found a product like Loon Knot-Sense (think it is called something else these days) helps when you are knotting mono to the fly line. The product is molded around the knot so that the connection is more smooth and streamlined. Wes Michael Bliss wrote: > > I would guess you have already done this.

I have been using braided loops from Gudebrod for a lot of years, am real pleased with them. I have no problem with going through the guides.

Mike: I tried a hair dryer on max heat but it did not weld the loop together. The heat needs to be concentrated.

Hi Mike, It was snowing hard in Bend today. We are going to go directly from winter to the 4th of July. Aloha. Henry posted this link about the loop construction. The info is part of Dan Blanton's web site. Get Looped http://www.danblanton.com/gettinglooped.html That's actually a nice salutation: Get Looped, Wes P.S. I am giving myself the challenge to create braided nylon loops from the 6-pound Gudebrod C-Thru. Haven't a clue yet what I'd use them for.

Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 16:08:24 -0600 For the List Jim.thank you... Wes.if your refering to using Dacron to make "eyes" out of, for blind eye hooks.i've only done that once and i used fly line backing. However, as a standard proceedureit simply isn't done.by me or anyone who tyes on blind eye hooks. i'd say at least 90% of the time, we use silk worm gut in strands, soaked, "Twisted," and let to dry so that it stays twisted in a rope like fashion. i very often make my own.although my favorite "Brand" (that one can buy pre-twisted), is sold by Partridge, and it is GREAT stuff. As you may or may not know.i almost always color my eyes...as i don't much like the look of plain gutjust way to, "plain," ie: BORING...since silk worm gut is pure protein.it takes dye extremely well. All you need is a Sharpie. i have several sounces for gut, and many different silk worm twisted gut products. One that i like especially is the old Spanish gut, and another is the old antique stained, Japanese silk worm gut..i use them all for different flies.depending on what strikes my fancy according to the hook i'm using, and the nature of the flies design. Another thing i've been using lately is old antique violin sting material..makes GREAT eyes. i found a violin E-String in an antique shop in Leadville, Colorado last year when we were there for this http://www.theamericacup.com event. Got it for 50 cents and it has afforded me enough material to make bout a half dozen eyes already, with enough left over for maybe 2 dozen more..all for 50 cents, YES! It's got a GREAT yellowish color to it, and is just the right diameter for use with EXTREMELY large hooks. Recently i've been tyin' on hooks that (while i am unable to actually measure them), i estimate to be at least 20/0. And this stuff is PERFECT for them..makes an eye that just KILLS! And it's natural color is so nice, i have rarely had to dye it.btw, if anyone is interested in these hooks i just refered to...contact me off list. And also, if anyone is as into blind eye hooks as i am, you MUST go to Jens Pilgaard's website and check out his newest hooks.(that he makes).they're his new, Artistic Blind Eye Hooks...and they KILL They're $10 each.i bought 30 of them in England when we were there recently and each one is different...WILD designs. You REALLY gotta see these hooks. Jens just happens to also be the single BEST source for Salmon fly materials on this or ANY OTHER planet, barr NONE! Go here. http://www.flytying.dk His inventory is quadruple what "anyone" else has.and his prices are VERY fair as compared to many others. Shipping can be a bit pricey.so make your order wourff your while. His subs., (for all the HIGHLY expensive exotics), are so good, that they beat the material they are subbing for in many cases.and he does alll his own dying...KILLER colors. Some of the MOST beautiful Seal Fur you'll EVER see for instance.

[VFB] Re: Braided nylon loop connector material?
Hi Neville, I am developing techniques and a series of flies using a shapeable, moldable foam. The foam cannot be tied to a hook (the thread cuts right through it). Hooks need to be GLUED into the foam. When done properly, the setup is very durable. I have been looking for a product that I could wind around a hook that would give the hook shank a "tooth" without a lot of bulk. The purpose of the tooth would be to give the foam something to hang onto, to prevent rotation or slippage around the hook. Just from the tests so far using the Gudebrod C-Thru, it works for that purpose! I am also going to play around with the material for special leader mini-connectors and such. Should be interesting to make loops from 8-pound, 1/16" diameter braided nylon. Like I noted, the breaking strength is much greater than listed.

The Gudebrod C-Thru product arrived yesterday, and I have been playing with the material. If you took the standard braided nylon material used for making loops, and scaled it down using smaller diameter nylon fibers, then you can visualize the product.
