Re: [VFB] What's everyone doing?

[Peggy Brenner]

I had some problems with gmail, ended up with 2 accounts, so I removed the
first one, it didn't like my password and will just use the new one.

We are between Island Park ID and west Yellowstone until it's time to go to
Bozeman for the FFI Expo in July. The weather is thunder storms in the
afternoon or evening. Not a lot of fishing this year so far, I got my best
freshwater fish on the Pecos R outside Santa Fe. We got to visit with Deb
and William her new guy. She set up her tying stuff to get back into it.

I'm working on the strangest order yet, known as a Prom Dress or tinsel
fly, they are a quick but dull tie. Think I'll stick with teaching, that's
the best.

Hi all:

 

I flew to France from Israel a couple days ago for a two week holiday with the 
family. Fishing for carp in the lakes with the kids (they take carp VERY 
seriously here!). 

I am near Bordeaux so will flyfish the Dordonne (horrible spelling I am sure). 
It is a big and weedy river but there are some narrow, quiey stretches. Cannot 
travel without a couple fly rods in the suitcase. 

So, it means that the boys and I will head out mornings and evenings, rod in 
one hand, baguette in the other, and cold beer in the pocket and teach those 
French fish a lesson. 

 

Regards,

 

 

Reuven

Hi all:

 

I flew to France from Israel a couple days ago for a two week holiday with the 
family. Fishing for carp in the lakes with the kids (they take carp VERY 
seriously here!). 

I am near Bordeaux so will flyfish the Dordonne (horrible spelling I am sure). 
It is a big and weedy river but there are some narrow, quiey stretches. Cannot 
travel without a couple fly rods in the suitcase. 

So, it means that the boys and I will head out mornings and evenings, rod in 
one hand, baguette in the other, and cold beer in the pocket and teach those 
French fish a lesson. 

 

Regards,

 

 

Reuven

Just go back from a week of fishing a couple of lakes in the Poconos.  Had good 
weather, fishing was off most days, catching 6 and 12 bluegills and red ear 
sunfish, with an occasional bass or chain pickerel.  One day it exploded, I 
ended up catching 36 sunfish, the majority between 8 and 10 inches long, and 
one 14 inch largemouth to top it off.  This in about 3 hours.  My arm was sore 
by the time they quit hitting.  Still haven't unpacked my camera, but will post 
a couple of pictures.  They all came from one spot in a small cove. Made the 
whole trip worth it..

Hi all:

 

I flew to France from Israel a couple days ago for a two week holiday with the 
family. Fishing for carp in the lakes with the kids (they take carp VERY 
seriously here!). 

I am near Bordeaux so will flyfish the Dordonne (horrible spelling I am sure). 
It is a big and weedy river but there are some narrow, quiey stretches. Cannot 
travel without a couple fly rods in the suitcase. 

So, it means that the boys and I will head out mornings and evenings, rod in 
one hand, baguette in the other, and cold beer in the pocket and teach those 
French fish a lesson. 

 

Regards,

 

 

Reuven

 Good to hear from you guys. 
Gary, in years past there have been some large trout caught from under my dock. 
Whenever I would see boats there in the early mornings, I knew word got out 
about a big Trout under the dock.
Gary, thanks for the prayers, they help.Rene have a good trip and post some 
fish photos.Arkansas Tony

Hi Tony,  good to hear from you again.  If I had a dock where big fish been

   Alan, We are not having a problem right here on the river, all creeks are 
blown out. If they open the flood gates then we will worry. The last time they 
opened the gated we had water under the sheds and in the yard. No damage to us 
but some on the river lost their docks.Rene, will give Miss Dot a big huge for

 Glad someone is fishing. Lot of rain and high muddy water here. In spite of 
the high water some big Browns have been caught. Right here in my stretch of 
water there was a 16+ pound and another 8+ pound brown caught a week or so ago. 
Many other large Browns and Rainbows have been caught over the past few weeks 
on high water. We have had high water for over three months.I am still having a 
lot of problems and pain with the leg, I will not even attempt to go down to

Will try this as soon as I can find the two sizes of tippet rings I have. ( the

fishing for Largemouth Bass as well as Trout.

Re: [VFB] What's everyone doing?

[Gary Webb]

Rene thanks for the update.  Great news on the growing family.
Grandchildren are great.  Two of mine
want me to take them fishing this weekend.  Ryan is eight and his brother
Declan is four.  We'll go for
panfish.  Might try a bit of Tenkara to expose them to fly fishing.

Re: [VFB] What's everyone doing?

[Phxflytyer]

Went fishing last Thursday and caught 7 and lost 8 or 9 more. My fishing 
partner landed 4 but caught 3 more that had an early release. All rainbows. 
The week before I only caught 2 or 3 and lost several more. But my partner 
landed 5, and lost several more. Found out that the dropper that was tied onto 
the bend of the hook was causing the quick release. I am now tying the dropper 
to the eye of the lead hook.  
Read an article in a fly fishing book talking about using a clear seed bead, 
and a tippet ring. Tie both on the tippet ring but one shorter then the other 
and it eliminates the hooks getting fouled together. Will try this as soon as I 
can find the two sizes of tippet rings I have. ( the mind is a terrible thing 
to loose). 
Will be going out next Tuesday. I will be fishing for Largemouth Bass as well 
as Trout.

Have had a lot of rain here in New York. It has affected the hatches but have 
had some decent days fishing the Delaware river system. Been doing some fly

Re: [VFB] What's everyone doing?

[Rene Zillmann]

Hi Gary,

slow list, indeed, but I'm slow as well.

Tying is slow, I'm too busy with family duties - family grows like 
crazy, 4 grandchildren so far and 3 to surface until end of year.


I was out only once a week ago, with my oldest grandchild - thze boy is 
3. So, we had some fun, did catch one small fish, and missed a 2nd one. 
The 'productive' pattern was my blue parachute beetle. I did ty this one 
at the sowbug.


I hope, you folks had more time for fishing

Best

Rene

Fishing here has not been too good.  We have had so much rain that the 
Mississippi by La Crosse, Wi just lifted the No Wake regulations that 
have been in place for a record 90 days. Previous record was 46.  The 
trout streams are running a four times normal flow.  That seems to 
have caused the hatches to be off schedule.   Panfish spawning is 
affected too.  I have managed to catch a few fish.  But nothing is 
happening at the normal times. Part of the challenge, I guess.  A new 
(to me) fly I've tied is: Grillo's Hippie Stomper. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4rilByk4hU .  it was created for 
trout, but I know it works for Bass.  My son in law has a pond behind 
his back yard and has just started fly fishing.  i gave him two and he 
caught a nice three pound Smallmouth on one.  Probably will work for 
Panfish too.
Tuesday I'm scheduled to take two of my grandsons fishing.  We will go 
to a local pond and try for Bluegills. Normally this would be a 
guaranteed success.  But you never know.  The last time I took them 
they wandered around the pond trying to catch frogs. They had a great 
time.  Which is the whole point.  I remember doing the same for 
crawdads when I was a kid in West Virginia.
