Tony sent you a note off list a bit ago. Did you get it? Sharfschutze. "The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears." "One who stands with his convictions never stands alone" "A pen in the hand of this president is far more dangerous than a gun in the hands of 200 million law-abiding citizens." "Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit." - Vince Lombardi
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." -Samuel Adams "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."

Maybe being able not fighting tying flies on might boost my interest in getting out and fish a bit more.

The tippet threader may be attached to your vest on a zinger so it is alway available. The fly box will save precious time with small and very small flies. I use mine for midges. I have exactly the same fly box as the one that I sent you a picture of. The seller had the box upside down when he photographed it.

E bay has them for 8'39 with free shipping. Having my daughter order the fly boxes but I think the magnetic threader might be better for me. Thanks for all the info.

It was dead calm and the river was as smooth as glass.This is not normal when they are releasing water from the dam. I watched a while and then could not stand it any longer, I had to give it a try. I keep a rod ready under the porch but I had a Froggie tied on the leader so I had to change to a trout fly. This took me at least ten minuets as my eyesight is not what it used to be. I tied on a sz 16 Green Mylar body Soft Hackle that was a killer the last time I was on the river. Got down to the dock and made a few casts, no takes. Then two boats came past my dock right through the feeding lane. This put the trout down. Waited a bit and the rises started again. Made a few more casts and still no takes. Switched over to a Brown Soft Hackle, another ten minuets lost. There was a steady riser and I cast a bit above and upstream from it. That was a take. A nice 14"+ Rainbow. Cast to a few more rises that yielded another two more Rainbows in the 14" class. In a sloppy cast I hit the dock rail that broke off my fly. It was the only one I had like it. I tied on another soft hackle with a Peacock Herl body. No takes and then tried another with still no takes. These two were sz 14 flies. I guess they wanted the smaller flies. By this time my legs and back had given out so I decided to call it quits. I had been on the dock almost an hour. As I was leaving I heard a big splash. Waited a bit and watched the area where I heard the splash. Sure enough It came up again clean out of the water. This trout had to be at least a three pound fish. What a thrill to see a Trout that big come full body out of the water. It cleared the water by several inches. I did not know what it was taking ,I could not see any bugs on the surface. That made my day. Arkansas Tony -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
