Hey, Phil. I started on a CB550 but also owned a 1998 Sportster. Sold it to finance becoming certified to teach art in Pennsylvania. I’d rather have the Sporty back though. Getting a f-t art teaching position is durn difficult. I own an old 650 now which is fun, but not an H-D. Uh, *on topic*, though, I’d recommend you visit Yahoo! and just do a search for Tattoos. That’s going to be needle-in-a-haystack, but it may be the only way. Whatever you do, don’t type _nymph flash_ unless you enjoy fly fishing, okay? Good luck. — Curt

Question:
Well we survived . . . barely. You see, it’s been raining, and it’s spring, and there’s been some snow melt. That ends up with lots of high, dirty water. We tried Friday, we tried Saturday, and tomorrow we’re going to the fishing show. We know when we’re beat. Louie tried his nymphs, I tried my wets and Greg threw what ever he had but it made no difference – only the whistle trout were interested. Louie did hook into one steelhead but since he had no idea what he was doing, he lost it. The dumb ass – the only decent fish we were gonna see in those conditions and he lost it! On Friday, Louie puts on his new Patagonia waders, his new Patagonia, jacket, his new Patagonia whatever, . . . and one very shitty pair of boots. At the end of the day, the boots had to go. On Saturday, we went to Grindstone for new boots and Louie was outfitted with a new pair of Weinbrenners. We’re suiting up and there’s Louie in his Patagonias (Orvis is officially fashion history) and there he is in his new boots, all set to fish with the tags still attached. And I fish with this guy!!!!! Greg’s a little bemused by all of this and he’s beginning to wonder what he’s getting himself into. I try to reassure him but the damage has been done. Anyway we went, we came, we saw, we left defeated. Now we sit, drowning our sorrows in what ever is handy, ice wine, bordeaux, Macallans, Wild Turkey – hell, you make do with what you have.

Speaking of Patagonia, I was fishing the surf a few weeks ago when suddenly all these people show up with fly gear. I was packing up after having caught a croaker. I never did too well in this spot and never saw anyone else fly fishing so it was a bit of a surprise to realize that I’m not the only fool who likes to hang around a polluted river mouth whipping tungsten-laden PVC through the air at the end of a graphite stick. Turns out they work at Patagonia and often conduct *field research* after work. Mu

Peter, part of the art of flyfishing is *lookg* right. Any one who looks the part earns the comment -"There’s a real fly fisher" If no fish are caught then it’s the dumb fish’s fault! I’ll bet the accommodation was first class though. — Bill Grey http://www.billboy.co.uk

Question:
A lot of people want to vote for Nader and help the Green Party, but they don’t want Bush to win. It’s possible that votes for Nader in swing states will throw the election to Bush. There are two websites that help: http://www.nadertrader.org http://www.voteswap2000.com The idea is that a Gore supporter will vote for Nader in a state that is safe for Bush (like Texas) if a Nader supporter will vote for Gore in a swing state. That way, the Green Party gets the same popular vote, but Bush (it is hoped) is denied a victory. This is going to get very interesting.

Here’s what the Nader people have to say about this From CNET: [That move drew criticism Saturday from Public Citizen, the umbrella group for consumer causes founded by Nader. It said the ads would mark "a new low" in the presidential campaign and "is designed to mislead voters." ] Interesting how the ultimate consumer/public advocate thinks this is something to mislead people.

I’m afraid you’re wrong about this, Hawkeye. The criticism from Public Citizen was directed at the Bush campaign for using footage of Nader attacking Gore in their ads, in an obvious attempt to swing Gore support to Nader. I think this is actually a pretty low-down trick, but it’s probably legal. It may backfire.

When I’m wrong, I admit it…I’m wrong and you are right RW. Shame on me for employing a "speed read" on the cnet article. After giving it a second read I see the reference to the Bush /Nader ads. I agree it is a strategy that could very well backfire on GW. As for it’s legality, I would think the vote swapping thing, if it’s highly organized would have a much better chance at raising some legal eyebrows than simply running ads for another candidate. I really can’t wait until this election is over. Between fuzzy math, Tammy Fae Baker makeup, ice-tea drinking at Budhist temples, the whole American political process is a freak show.

Response:

Seems to me the dems are guilty of some hypocrisy as well. Al Gore goes campaigning in the south talking about how he grew and harvested tobacco, then gets on the bandwagon to put the tobacco companies out of business. Bill Clinton said "I pledge to run the most ethical administration in this nations history"….well, I don’t think I have to expand on that one. And of course, Bill didn’t inhale which makes him either really stupid or just a liar….you decide. My point is that they are all hypocrits. If you’re lucky enough to identify with one or two key issues shared with a candidate then cast your vote and hope they don’t pull a fast one on you. For me, I could never vote for Gore, a man who thinks the answer to any issue is a government program or handout. A man who would re-write the 2nd amendment to read "..the right of the people to keep and bear a hunting rifle as long as said rifle is single shot, non-scoped, government approved and stored at the local law enforcement agency". No, I don’t believe what dems try to spin to us….that republicans want to poison the air and water, throw our seniors into the streets and starve all the schoolchildren. It’s fuzzy politics (a little GW lingo there). Am I crazy about GW? No way. But if I had to choose between Al Gore and GW, I’ll take GW. I recall a speech given by a democrat who said "…ask not what your country can do for you….". I think the democratic party has gotten away from where he was trying to take it. Just my .02 and I can almost feel the flames coming already. Natty (enjoying my access to the Al Gore created internet) Before you buy.

Gore was bragging to tobacco farmers in his home state when he was running for office that he " planted it, weeded it, picked it, cured it and sold it just like the rest of ya ", while at the same time his own sister was dying from smoking related cancer. Of coures after his sister died he saw a GREAT opportunity to use her death for political gain so after he was safely elected to the senate and running for president (1988) he gave his " sitting at my sisters death bed I vowed to fight against the tobacco industry with ever fiber of my being " speech. Just a few VERY SHORT years after his " I’m a PROUD tobacco farmer". Of course when he was running for office in Tennessee he was pro life, pro gun and pro tobacco. That’s what he needed to be to get elected. When he began running for the White House he became what he thought he needed to be to win, pro abortion, anti gun and anti tobacco. The guy is a bigger snake than Bill Clinton ever dreamed of being. I don’t know what kind of president G.W.B will make, you never know till they actually land the job. But I do know what kind of pres. Gore would be and I don’t want four years of him in the White House. Clintons main concern was his dick and looking for a legacy.

Question:
I heard that the Lil’ Red and the White River are good trout rivers. I’m looking for some information on how and where to go, are they wadable and is there any decent camping on the rivers or nearby. I would also love a good appraisal from anyone familiar with river. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I’m not all that familiar with the Little Red, but I’ve been fishing the White and North Fork rivers for 20 years or more. They are world-class trout streams, and as of 1/1/95 boast lengthy sections of catch and release water. Wading is *very* tricky, and since they are tailwaters, you must play the "water-game." Your best bet is to contact Blue Ribbon Fly Shop in Mountain Home, Arkansas for the latest water conditions. Beware they have been running a great deal of water lately, so fishing conditions have been poor. –Jeff
Response:
In response to: I heard that the Lil’ Red and the White River are good trout rivers. The Little Red is not a good trout river. It is a great trout river.
I’ve heard the same about the White but haven’t fished it. The Little Red is best during winter. Nov.-January. There are good camping facilities. Try an area called "Cow Shoals". It is wadable, but dependant upon Corps of Engineers and the water releases from the dam.
Response:
There is a good campground near the bridge in Cotter, Arkansas. I have worked with several men who were serious fly fishermen and that was their favorite place. I have been there and you can rent canoes and go down the White River at your leisure, fly fishing as you go. Cotter, Arkansas is dubbed the "Trout Capital of the World." Of course there are probably other cities that call themselves the same. I think there is an old hotel in Cotter, and eating places as well as antique shops, etc. It is a neat place. When I was there years ago, the Corps of Engrs would open up the locks at the dam, and it was unbelievalbe how fast and high the water would rise and how furiously it rampaged. They sound an alarm before they open the dam gates, and usually it was in the evening after dark. In the daytime the water was crystal clear, ice cold, and shallow (wadeable) in a lot of places. Cotter is a beautiful area in the Arkansas mountains.

Question:
My wife and I just took up this wonderful sport, we’re taking a flyfishing class and buying, buying, buying [8 ). I have a question about rod weight. We want to fish lakes and streams for trout but also have a desire to fish for steelhead (I used to "crank and cable" angle the mighty fish in the Mad River, CA). We are leaning toward a 5/6 weight, 9 ft. rod but it is probably too light for steelhead. On the other hand, if we go to a 6/7 weight, 9 ft. rod will it also be suitable for the lighter fish, and in fact will this weight be heavy enough for steelhead? We really don’t have enough $$ to be buying two (x two people) rods. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. I haven’t seen an FAQ on this newsgroup so if it is a FAQ then "Flame on".

I just started on this sport myself. On the other hand, my friend has some good experience under his belt. Believe it or not! he has been using weight 6 with 9 feet in length to catch fish range from pink salmon (not King salmon) to trouts. He had used it for many years while living in Alaska and didn’t have any problem (may be he hasn’t tell me about it yet) Anyway, it depends on your body frame. If you have a average body frame say 5′7" and weight about 150, I recommend a rod with weigh 6 and 9′ in length. This is a normal fly rod for beginners anyway. One thing for sure, don’t buy any rod shorter than 9 feet because you will end up regretted once you pick up some skill. Also, those fly rods for steelhead/salmon are quite larger, so it can wear your arm out over a long period of flipping it back and forth.

A 6-weight is a good multi-purpose rod which you can use for drys as well as streamers. It will work fine for the smaller trout which prevail in the Sierra Nevada streams, although my "standard" Sierra rod is a 3-weight. However, you probably cannot get a good compromise if you want to fish for steelhead and trout. — Law Office of John L. Dodd Tustin, CA
