Bob, Me again, We need the lurkers to post to let us know you are out there. If no one posts the list will die a slow death. I am on two other tying lists and there are only about one message about every three to four months. When someone posts something, the list awakens and there will be several posts for a few days then dies again. You lurkers out there, find somethoing to post and let us know you are there. Thanks, Tony

I have been flyfishing about 15 years now, wont say Im good but catch some fish anyway. Fish mostly at Taneycomo for trout as in Iowa have to go up in the NE part to fish for trout . I flyfish for bass and panfish where I live (Des Moines, IA). Started tying a few years ago then quit when my wife died after 30 years, and am just now getting back into tying. Have served in the Military, worked in IT and am now in Security. No kids, just one dog who loves to go fishing with me. Pretty boring but thats me. :) Bob Scarbrough Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 03:45:58 -0800 From: bambot...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [VFB] Something different , Our backgrounds To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Jim, I guess I go along with you on this. Just trying to get some action on the list. I was hoping more would reply with more than a line or two. I will post my background later today. Tony --- On Mon, 1/25/10, Jimmy D.

The better we know each other, the better we can appreciate our fellow VFB'ers. So, here's some stuff about me: Been fishing 60 + years, Fly fishing just about the same. Started tying flies at age 12, with a Herter Beginners Kit Joined the VFB in its infancy. Been doing the daily quote on the VFB for about 9 years Started the Joke For The Day about 8 years ago, because the VFB was getting cluttered with jokes and Byard asked me if I'd do it. There's now around 70 VFB members who get the daily JFTD. Just finished meistering my 17 swap today. Some goofy, but all fun. March Madness I, March Madness II, Colors I, Colors II, Retiree, Ham Radio, Chili Pepper, Eagle Scout, Blues I, Blues II, Courage, Renegade, Steelhead, Murf Memorial, Old Fart and lastly - Fly Tying Fanatic Swap. I'm a retired Scout Executive with the Boy Scouts of America - 1964-2000 Wrote an outdoor humor book in 2004 - Moon Holler Misfits Fishing & Hunting Club Editor of North Fishing Zone - Texas Fish & Game magazine, 2007 - 2009 Have written numerous fishing and hunting articles for outdoor magazines I've done my fishing in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, including the Gulf, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon 5 grown children, 8 grandchildren Two Cats - Peaches & Gray. Raised them from bottle - orphans. I'm their mother and father. They act like dogs and come when I whistle or call their name. They jump up on me just like my dogs did. Gray can purr - I taught him, but Peaches never has learned. I stay busy monitoring the VFB, FFW and doing the Daily Quotes and Jokes, plus a bunch of Honey Do work that never seems to end.

I have reasons I have not posted and it has nothing to do with the VFB list or anyone on it. I think Jimmy did this a while back but things change and an update might be in order. I am sure we have a number of lurkers out there that we don't know about. How about we jump in and tell about ourselves relating to tying and fishing. Also I often wonder what most of us do or what we did for a living. Might be interesting to know,. Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
