That's a good point, & one that perhaps we should address through the Federation, Conclave & the numerous shows we all attend. I know I've had as many smallmouth airborne on the end of a fly line as I've had rainbow & cuts. And anyone who's had a pound (or more) gill on knows a singular thrill. I've been thinking about shooting a warm water fly fishing vid, maybe it's time to get off my ass.

Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2009 19:59:52 -0600 Your right J.B. i should of said, "still water" instead of Farm Pond i spose. But then again.........they've got magnificent lakes all over the world that would definately qulifiy for spectacular fly fishing destination "lures" and which are plenty exotic. But for whatever reason.......Bass fishin' etc., etc., just doesn't have the same sex appeal (for lack of a better term), that Salmon and Trout have. Hell if i know why...........but you walk down an isle at a fly fishing show and you will not see hardly any slide shows at some fancy lodge's booth, showin' pics of fly fisherman catchin HUGE bass..........but you'll see 100 with slide shows of Trout and Salmon. Every now and then you'll see a lodge from Canada showin' a slide show of some Smallie fishin', or maybe Pike fishin'. But that's about it. _____ From: jbal...@a5.com To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Subject: [VFB] Re: International Fly Tying Symposium Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2009 20:44:59 -0500 There are other great fisheries besides farm ponds. I have to drive 6-7 hours north or south or 2-3 days westward to fish for trout. But I can fish for both black bass, northern, walleyes, muskie & a ton o' pan fish al w/in half an hour. Don't get me wrong, I love trout fishing. But catch a five pound bass or a 10 pound catfish on a 5 wt & I'm a happy guy. -SNIP- No virus found in this incoming message.
