Nev, I will have to check this out. I am tired of taking 15 minuets to tie a small fly on the tippet. Tony

It holds the eye of the fly in line with the groove magnetically. After placing the fly, one simply pushes the tippet along the groove (from right hand side), through the eye of the hook and as you can see the end of the tippet comes out on the left. They green thread in the photo is simply a lanyard that the person is wearing around their neck so that the threader is always available. They retail online for about $10.00. The eye of the fly must be clear of any threads or hackles. Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.C.

There was still a small Caddis hatch on and I was also using sz 16 and 18 tent wing Caddis. 6X would not work, trout were too finiky. I did not think about taking my vest with the tippit spools, I just grabbed the rod and a small box of flies. If I get to back to fish that pond again, I will have 4X on. Yes, I do have a problem tying on the small flies and the fine tippet.

I have permission to fish the pond alongside the parking lot.I have never got to fish it because of time of the year or having my appointment. It was overcast and real windy but I gave it a shot. Tied on a Peacock and Bronze. Had nothing for a while then I got a good fish on. I never did see it before breaking off. I had some 7X tipprt on my leader and had no other with me. Then I tied in a Peacock body nymph with a gold bead head. That did yeild a couple of Largmouth Bass. The takes were real slow, just felt the line tighten up and the fish was there. Had another take and when the bass came out of the water, he broke off. Tied in a Peackock body bugger. When I turned out of the wind, I noticed my wife back at the van waving me to come back. I could not belerve she was already finished. Heading back to the van I made another cast and hooked up with a Largmouth. That made five Bass, two break offs and one miss. Not bad for about an hour fishing. Arkansas Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
