Hi All;   In my case, I spend much more time online in winter and early spring, can't do as much outside and I do most of my fly tying during this time of year.   I've been fishing at least a dozen times this summer, all warmwater.  I've had tremendous success, each outing out my local pond

I use a hot spot on just about everything, including adding a red beard on all of my streamers. I sat next to Aron Jasper at a show 2 years ago when he was just coming up with competition flies, and he raved about hot spots, so I took his advise and adapted some patterns. This year we did

Jimi, Yes, many good memories from the past. Is good to see you are still active on the VFB board. Hopefully your health is good. Many of we service men women still and always will have some problems. I guess it is to be expected ( after 15 years active what can one expect) and hopefully
