[VFB] List of Rivers I have fished

I have been fly fishing and fly tying since 1978, so the list is naturally extensive. We are mainly stillwater specialists, so a lot of the rivers were fished enroute to stillwater destinations. If I were to pick a favorite area, not necessarily just for the fishing, it would be the North Umpqua

[VFB] VFB Rivers Fish Master List

When we get through listing the rivers we've fished, I'll make a Master List and we'll see which of the better known rivers got left out. I have a feeling that between our 221 members we've fished just about all of them. However, I'll bet there's at least one "premier" river that gets left out.

[VFB] re: how do you tie in hackle?

Joyce, On dry flies, I tie the wide end in first by a projection of the clipped stem along the side of the hook and in front of the wing. If it's a two-hackle fly (e.g. Adams), I tie them both in with the stem fragment in front of the wing. Then I wrap the thread behind the wing to lock the f

Re: [VFB] Joyce- dry fly hackles

Joyce, More accurately it would be the 'butt end' that I'm tying down, but that's not totally right, either. With saddle hackles being a foot long (or more) and all of one size along the length, there is no longer a 'small end' or a 'large end'- it's all the 'sweet spot'. One reason to tie the
